Arc de Triomphe, up close and personal on the Champs De Elysees. The sculptures on this massive arc are impressivly detailed!
The Notre Dame de Paris, (Our lady of Paris) is the famous cathedral in which the story of the musical by the same name, and the Disney cartoon 'The hunchback of Notre Dame' stem from. This is the view from the fashionable shops overlooking the Seine River.
Inside the Notre Dame de Paris, the cathedral really shows it's grandeur. Stained glass windows, a very large organ, towering ceilings and beautiful paintings and sculptures. Whether you're religious or aethiest, you can't miss this place, the architecture alone is brilliant.

The Seine River runs through the city of Paris, past the Eiffel and the Notre Dame and there are large boats such as this one which go up and down it for tourists to do some sightseeing. We didn't go on it, but I hear it's quite a nice ride.
The great thing about the Seine is the pedestrian/car friendly bridges that cross it. Watching the sunset over the river is very romantic.
