Well, if Claire never returns to Paris (and I hope she does) at least she can say "Oh oui, I have strolled the Champs Elysee but I found the Arc de Triomphe a little - how should I say - a little banal." ;-)
We counted ten things that might might fit the must see/do category.
We went to Saint Micheal cathedral.
We went to the Louvre.(Lots of signs discouraging photography. And about 10,000 people taking pictures - flash).We saw the Mona Lisa.
We saw the statue of "Winged Victory".
We saw the sculpture of Venus de Milo.
And that of Artemis (that Claire recognized)
We walked in the Tuileries
Saw the Obelisk on the Place de Concorde
Walked the Champs Elysees

And climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe.
Its a funny thing. This is my fourth trip to Paris and I wouldn't do most of these things but I feel like Claire should have the experience and I enjoy being the person to share it with her.
We are going to Versailles tomorrow and I feel a little of the same about that place (its actually really interesting). Perhaps I will have something to share about the day.
I think you did have something to say! But you know, All I have to say is "Wow! look at that head! Oh and that one!" ;)
