Breakfast: Hotel.
Jardin des Tuileries: Take the Metro to Concorde, the city's largest public square and walk through the Jardin des Tuileries, the wonderful gardens commissioned by Catherine de Medici, which lead you right into the Louvre.
Louvre: Now, you could spend weeks on end in this world famous art gallery and many happily would. There are a few essential stops, however, if you're not that partial to fine art. One in particular, of course, is the Mona Lisa which can be disappointing in the canvas, but still worth a visit. After this stroll around for a couple of hours and check out Napoleon's quarters and the collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts if you're afraid of getting too 'arted out'.
Lunch: Restaurant in the Louvre.
Notre Dame: The most famous medieval cathedral on the planet is within walking distance. Notre Dame is always full, however, is more than capable of coping with the crowds.
Dinner: All of this sightseeing is sure to work up an appetite so hit the Latin Quarter for something to eat. The narrow streets are lined with restaurants of the cheap and cheerful variety, as well as the more up market. And there are also plenty of bars and clubs to adjourn to after dinner. This part of the city is one of the most popular with visitors to the city and is home to a wonderful mix of people every night of the week.
