Well, I think most people have listed the obvious ones- but for me, there is a really interesting & famous wax museum in Paris called Le Grevin (with an accent aigu on the e). Also, check out some of Paris' fine dining.
You also might want to check out La Rue de La Fayette- (rue=street), because they have wonderful light displays, especially during Christmas time!

My advice is to go out to Brittany (Quimper would be best) to visit a traditional Breton city. It's on the coast and it is such as beautiful city. But anywhere is Brittany would be a great time.
If you are a history person, Normandy is probably where you want to go. Visit the sites of World War II, go to Rouen, where Joan or Arc was killed, Monet's home and gardens at Giverney , and the list goes on.
The best, though, would be to go out to the Loire Valley. If you base camp out of Tours (one of the larger cities in the region, which is a great place to visit in itself), you can go see some of the magnificent chateaux and in some cases their gardens. Some of them, like Chambord, Chenonceau, and Amboise, are beautiful and regularly open to the public.
