parisbymouth is a great resource for restaurants and the like. Really a big help.
Use the metro. Its really easy to use and convenient.
I personally liked staying in the left bank in the St Germain area, but that is a personal preference.
Unless you really want to see the catherdral (which IS really beautiful), I was not a big fan of Montmarte. It is sooooo full of tourist crap and scam artists.
Make reservations for the Eiffel, don't just show up. The area surrounding the Eiffel can also be a shite show with lots of immigrants and scammers.
Some restaurants I really enjoyed:
Spring
L'ami Jean
Septime
Le Chateaubriand
It really is a wonderful city. Love it.

Visit the catacombs!

If you decide to go the tower at night, I'd recommend going to the RUE CLER neighborhood (market area with bars and restaurants with outdoor seating). Then head to Fontaine De Mars which is between Rue Cler and the Tower. It is a very good restaurant that is not altogether expensive.

Versailles is a must. The Rodin museum is near Invalides, so you can do both in the same morning or afternoon. If you can play the timing right, go to the top of the arc at night when one of the Eiffel light shows happen. Pretty cool way to combine the two. Food tip: Filet Americain is probably not what you think it might be.

Nice! I'll also be in Paris, but in 2 weeks - any recommendations for Catacombs? Didn't purchase tickets in advance and don't feel like paying 160E for me and wife for better guided tour. I've read the lines are very long all the time, is it worth it for the cheaper price of admission.

Metro from CDG is easy, but if you want to use the automated ticket machines make sure you know your credit card pin. I have a Visa card that does not add a foreign conversion fee like my AMEX does and therefore prefer to use my Visa when possible, but if you don't know your pin you're SOL.
Not sure how long you are there but exploring the parts of the city can be fun. We went to a huge antique market in a sketchy part of town that was interesting. not sure how safe that area is these days though. Parc des Buttes Chaumont was a nice surprise.
Monet's house and gardens at Giverny makes a nice side trip as well.
