Paris Need advice Please itinerary

We will be in paris for 3 nights next week and want to make sure wdo not miss anything in that short period of time! We were thinking of doing the siene river cruise and of course the sites. We are satying at hotel lindbergh and would like to know what we should see first, and best restaurants to eat at and areas to see.

Is the hotel lindbergh centrally located - good choice of hotel - on a budget?

thank you for your advice!

Do you have 2, 2 and 1/2, or 3 full days there? What sorts of things do you enjoy? Art museums? Walking? Historical sights? A combination of things? Here are some of the things I enjoyed during the week we spent in Paris:

Art Museums: Unless you have specific things you want to see at the Louvre, consider skipping it if you have such a short time there. It%26#39;s vast and crowded, especially the popular spots (Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory). If you like Impressionism, go to the Orsay, and try to give it 2-3 hours. The Orangerie, with it%26#39;s spectacular Monet water lily canvases, is wonderful, and you can see them and get a peek at the small collection of other painters, too, in an hour or two.

Climb the bell tower of Notre Dame - either when it opens, or late in the afternoon (be careful..sometimes it closes early if there%26#39;s something special going on) - for a great view of gargoyles and the city.

Consider one of the Fat Tire Bike Tours. We took the night tour and it included a Bateau Mouche ride. It%26#39;s fun and will give you a good overview of the city.

On a nice evening, join the people picnicking on the Pont des Artes.

Go the the top of the Arc de Triomphe to watch the sunset and see the Eiffel Tower start to glitter.

Have fun!

Thanks so much for your advice...we would like to do a little bit of everything; must see sight seeing, strolling through the french neighborhoods and of course eating at a few excellent restaurants and shopping...is there anything unique and special that we should definitely not miss, ie. a picnic somewhere, a fantastic restaurant or bar that we should go to a great way to get around the city a special secret romantic spot?

We are in our Late 20%26#39;s looking for romantic laid back good time....
