If you want something fascinating, unusual and a little bit spooky, ask somebody about the l’Ossuaire Municipal or Catacombes de Paris. I understand that very few people are interested in this kind of thing, so don’t feel bad if you think this is not suitable for your trip or for you.
If you’re looking for more touristy/artsy things, though, there’s always the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe and the Rive Gauche (Left Bank). I particularly recommend the Left Bank as it is steeped in artistic culture and was/is frequented by street artists who are skilled enough to have galleries - they actually come to the Rive Gauche to learn more. Pablo Picasso, nice man, used to paint at the Rive Gauche before he moved to the French Riviera. These things aren’t just for adults either; kids enjoy art too, although you may want to let them unwind at one of Paris’s many great recreational parks:

Or even take them to one of Paris’s three zoological parks:

I recommend the Zoo de Vincennes.
Paris also has an official website where you can find information on most of its tourist services. Here’s the English version:

Hope this helps.
I diffidently encourage you to go to the Louvre Museum, where the painting Mona Lisa is, Versailles, The Notre Dame Cathedral, Disneyland Paris, Musee D’orsay- a museum, Luxembourg garden, the Eiffel Tower of course, and try to go to the restaurant and gift shop in the tower as well. There are many great shops, just look around :), Arc de Triumph, and The Centre Pompiduo. I hope you have a great ime, and im sure you will.
