Maybe not the answer you want to hear, but here it goes anyway: Go and get one of those mini-tripods. You'll find plenty of spaces to put your camera on massive stone bridge railings, banks of the Seine etc... The city is lighted VERY well - you'll be amazed at what shutter speeds you'll be able to take your shots! Personally I've been to Paris for business only and I never had the chance to take a lot of daytime pictures. Neither did I have the chance to bring a tripod. But with one of these small tripods or even a beanbag, you'll be fine! Get a bunch of Metro tickets (10 I believe) and a free metro map for that's the easiest way to get around. You'll end up near all the sites you'll want to visit. http://www.ratp.info/orienter/cv/carteparis.php BTW, Make sure you attach your camera with an anchor chain to your waist ;-) But enjoy your stay there!!!
