If you're going to Paris, you have to make a day trip to see Versailles. Whether you want to see the incredibly lavish architecture, the art or have a walk in the gardens, this is an absolute must. It will also help you to understand why the French revolution happened. Not in an abstract, "the rich had a lot of money and the poor didn't have any" kind of way but in an "I would have chopped people's heads off too if I knew they had built that while I was starving" kind of way :-P
Better get your walking shoes on though, because there's going to be a lot of walking! Also, plan to go early in the morning before the queue to enter starts getting long because after a certain point, you're looking at a 2 hour long wait to get through security.
