Parlez-vous francais?

I can't believe we are actually doing this, but we are heading to Paris next Thursday to celebrate our 10th anniversary! We've booked tickets on a speed train to get there, and have put in a reservation for an apartment not too far from the Eiffel Tower. The one catch is that we are bringing the kids. It's not ideal, but (1)we really want them to see Paris, and (2) we aren't willing to lose any of our new friends here yet by having them watch our kids for the weekend. So, we'll make the best of it.

So, now I'm looking for some help from my readers. Has anyone ever been to Paris before? What do you consider to be the "Must-sees"? Do you have any tips for eating, shopping, getting around there? Has anyone been there with kids? Any suggestions of things to do with them? (And no, we're not planning on doing Euro-Disney!).

I have a few books out from the library, and I've been doing some internet searches, but it's always helpful to hear from people who've been there or heard any great ideas. Please leave a comment or email me!

Have fun in Paris! I only have a couple of tips re. the trains from Charles De Gaulle to the city. Let me know if that would be of interest to you!
