Also try to get to see one of the Sunday markets, great photo opportunities. I always liked rue Moufftard - nearest metro is Place Monge - always lot's going on, usually with a public sing-song/dance at the bottom of the hill. You can then walk back up Moufftard and if you continue in a straight line you get to the Seine near Notre Dame. There's also a big Sunday market in rue de la Convention in the 15th - metro Convention. I didn't like the wide boulevards very much, Haussman screwed up in my opinion. Good for cavalry I suppose. I preferred the narrower streets. The cemetery at Pere Lachaise is worth a visit if you want to go somewhere different. If you're going for a week it may be worthwhile buying a weekly 'Carte Orange' transport pass. This allows you unlimited use of the metro, buses and the little funicular near Sacre Coeur. Better value that the tourist passes that you can buy. You'll need a passport sized photograph. But don't forget the ice cream, even if the weathers bad. The fruit sorbets are fantastic.

They sell them on the Isle de la Cite. And there is a shop that also has used Leica stuff in Boulevard de St. Germain (Cheaper than anything in Zurich).
