I have three days in Paris – first time visitor, what do I do?

We’re spending a cold February weekend in Paris, the first time we’ve visited. I’m a sucker for history, amazing sights, great museums and, of course, romantic dinners. I’m thinking not too much outside walking, but certainly the Metro and taxicabs… Any suggestions???
Yes, I have several guide books, but looking for recommendations from other folks. I’ve found from my visits to Denmark and Germany that I can get more of an “inside scoop” from Yahoo Answers and other forums.

You must go to Montmartre/ Sacre-Coeur Basilica… it is the most beautiful view of the city. If walking up the steps is a problem, they have this thing that can take you up, I don’t know what it’s called. Also this is an artist area.
The Louvre is wonderful, but it is so large and overwhelming, you would have to spend a long time there to be worth it.
The Musee d’Orsay was my favorite museum. It is where the impressionist art is.
Avenue de Champs-elysees is beautiful, and l’Arc de Triomphe is right there.
La Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris is right by the Seine river and is amazing.
You’ll probably want to go to the Eiffel Tower.
Take time to just enjoy the parks, gardens, fountains, people watching, the wine, the pastries, the bread….
Have fun!
