Morning
Try to get to the Eiffel Tower early, to beat the worst of the queues, and take the lift to the top to admire the spectacular panorama. After descending, take tea at the Pâtisserie de la Tour Eiffel (21 ave de la Bourdonnais), whose terrace has a great view.
Walk towards the Seine and turn right before crossing the river. A stroll along the riverbank is always pleasant if the weather is kind (see Riverfront Views), and before long you will reach the Place de la Résistance. Cross the road, staying on the south side of the river, where a ticket booth masks one of the city's great secrets, Les Egouts . Don't worry about taking a torch or wearing special footwear - the area visited is well-lit and dry underfoot
If the sewers don't put you off your food, lunch at the excellent fish restaurant, Le Divellec .
Afternoon
After lunch, walk to the Hôtel des Invalides to see Napoleon's Tomb and the beautiful domed church, and then visit the almost adjacent Musée Rodin and stroll in its gardens.
On leaving the museum turn right along rue de Varenne, until it meets rue du Bac. Here, at No. 109, is Le Bac à Glaces, a combined tearoom and ice cream parlour - perfect for a refreshing rest.
