Hi,

You should visit:
- Eiffel tower at night (10/11 p.m) and surroundings,
- Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur,
- Le Louvre museum if you like these kind of visits,
- Go to "St Michel" station in the heart of Paris where you can find the most beautiful cathedral,
- Champs ElysÃ©e

That will be a good trip. There are of course many other spots to see.

Have a nice trip
