I am leaving for six days on Tuesday. Going for the French Open, but that's on our itinerary for only one day (going to the men's semi-final matches).
We have a full schedule planned out, mostly designed around the smaller musuems and eating/drinking at local spots. We are planning on doing the Catacombs and taking the Fat Tire bike tour. We are relying pretty heavily on Rick Steve's guide and we will be taking two of his self guided tours (Historic walk and Champs-Elysees walk). Against my judgement, she insists on the Louvre as she has been twice and loved it. We will definitely be buying our tickets in advance to skip the lines. Apparently you can buy all your advance tickets for the museums at the airport as soon as you arrive.
We are passing on Versailles in favor of a day trip to Reims to drink champagne. Also lots of WWI and WWII history there. Eiffel Tower is not in the cards unless we can get our hands on an advance pass, which aren't the easiest to get. I don't know the details surrounding those passes.
I'm looking forward to it. First time to Europe for me, she has been probably a half dozen times all over.

Little tip... The views from the top of the Arc de Triomphe and Sacre Coeur are just as good. Easier, and cheaper, to get in as well.
These are some pics that I took from the top of the Arc de Triomphe...
And from the top of Sacre Coeur...
