I spent 10 days walking around Paris a few years back. The best advice I can offer is that Paris is about the overall impression, not the individual destinations.
Obviously, there are several %26quot;can%26#39;t miss%26quot; destinations, most of which are on your list. That said, were I you, I%26#39;d cut that list from 20 sites to 10, and budget the remaining time for just strolling and enjoying the uniquie ambiance of the city. Spend lots of time in St. Germain (6th District of the Left Bank, near the river). Walk over to Rue Mouffetard in the 5th District -- a colorful outdoor marketplace in the heart of Hemingway country.
Spend time in the sidewalk cafes, walk the riverfront, see the Left Bank shops, sit in the parks, browse through the food selection in the grocery stores. In short, spend half of your time being a %26quot;resident%26quot; rather than a tourist. You%26#39;ll be richly rewarded for your efforts. Enjoy!
a %26quot;resident%26quot; rather than a tourist.
