• Bonjour Paris - very useful site filled with details to help you plan your trip.
• Paris Museum Pass - if you plan to visit museums during your stay I strongly recommend getting this pass. It lets you speed by long lines in front many museums and monuments. You pay once and get the right to go into all those museums who participate which is most all the best know ones and others (about 70 in total). The pass does not give admission to temporary exhibitions or guided-visits.
