The second question to ask yourself is do you want to see Paris laid out before you in the day or lit up with lights in the evening? Le Tour Eiffel will keep popping into view as you turn a corner, tempting like a siren, so you should make a date with this iron lady. The cheap date involves walking up 650 stairs to the second level, and the expensive involves paying for a lift to that height or higher. Plan to see her at the beginning or end of your second day so as not to keep her waiting too long.
Paris is best seen on foot so the rest of your second day should be spent seeing the sights. Visit old Paris at Pere Lachaise, then walk though to the Opera, the Arc de Triomphe and shop for perfume at Sephora on the Champs-Elysees. For the total Parisian experience consider booking a dinner and floor show sitting next door at Le Lido.
