Dan,
That sounds like a fun trip!
I envy you. :-)
We've been to Paris many years ago, and keep planning on coming back.
There are two things that I could recommend:
1. It might be obvious, but ... there is a large department store that has
a very nice view from the top floor, and it is very close to the river, so
the view is great.
The restaurant is rather expensive, but we went there just for a few
minutes when it was not too crowded, took a few photos and left.
Last night I was trying to figure out if it was Printemps or Galleries
Laffayete. I believe it is the former.
2. There was (and still is, from what I can tell) a restaurant that is off
the tourist path. I've learned about it from a personal contact.
I see that now it is rather famous (on Trip Advisor, Yelp, etc.)

Marie Edith restaurant:
Telephone: 01 45 66 44 60
Address: 34 rue Laos
Paris 75015
France
It is a smallish restaurant. So, it's better to make a reservation via
the phone (we called in the morning). It is one of those places where
there is only one "seating" per night.
My rather rudimentary knowledge of French did not allow me understanding
some parts of the menu. They either didn't have an English version, or
what they had was incomplete. So, the owner himself was helping us placing
the order. He is a very interesting person himself. And the food was great
(and reasonably priced) - but it's been a decade ago...

Are any list members or lurkers in Paris?
Next week my wife and I are flying to Paris, for a river cruise to Normandy
and return.
We will be in Paris for several hours on Tuesday April 4 and all day on
Monday, April 10. I would love to meet up with any PDMLers in the city.
We have been to Paris before, but any ideas for photo opportunities beyond
the usual monuments would also been appreciated from anyone familiar with
the city.
