Breakfast: Hotel
Sacre Coeurand Montmartre: Make Montmartre and the amazing Sacre Coeur your first stop. Located beside one of the seediest parts of the city, Montmarte couldn't be further removed. And as well as being home to the beautiful basilica, this part of the city is home to hordes of artists. You'll see them dotted everywhere with their easels and sketch pads but beware the hawkers. These are the guys who will harass you for the duration of your stay asking to paint your portrait so say no from the outset and let them know that you mean it.
Lunch: Restaurant
Tour Eiffel (Eiffel Tower): You couldn't possibly visit Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower. Even if you do not want to visit this world famous structure, you will see its top from all over Paris. The tower rises 300 meters tall (984 ft); when it was completed at the end of the 19th century it was twice as high as the Washington Monument, at the time the tallest structure in the world.
Bastille (Dinner): For your first evening of socialising, Bastille is a good choice. Laden with an excellent selection of restaurants and an eclectic mix of watering wholes, you won't be short of places to eat and drink. One place well worth a visit, however, is Les Leches Vins. Not the most impressive pub in the city, but it's certainly one you won't forget. And it does sell particularly cheap pints of Kroneneberg which is definitely a good reason to visit. Paris is expensive and the drinking scene will dent your budget most of all.
