You're spending two nights in Paris? Ooolala! Here are my ideas for sights and things to do.

This first part is actually stuff I did in one day alone:

• The Louvre (especially to see the statues of Winged Victory of Sammothrace, Psyche, and Eros)
• Head across to street to Angelina's to have some hot chocolate (an Audrey Hepburn fave thing to do)
• Maison du chocolat or Debauve & Gallais for delicious chocolates
• Have a delicious lunch or dinner of bagel and some yummy spread in the Jewish Quarter, which I think is on Rue de Rosiers (Le Marais in Paris)
• Spend time in a cafe on Montparnasse, the road of literary giants.

This second part is stuff that I liked which I did over a few days:

• The Sacre Coeur and stroll around Montmartre
• Wander around the Latin Quarter for cheese and pastry and also look at books
• Shopping at Printemps
• Viewing Paris from the top of the Arc de Triomphe
• Go to a bar and listen to jazz
• Rodin Sculpture Garden
• Jardin du Luxembourg

You'll have to be able to navigate yourself on the metro, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Things are probably more expensive now than when I went...which was when the dollar was greater than the euro. Let me know if you need anything else!
