Hi Ibram - take in the area of La Defense which can easily be left off the agenda - it's Paris' modern business area , but there is some stunning architecture to see (if that's your bag - check out my 'Parisolo' trip via my website for some pictures of the area). Also north of Paris you have France's answer to Disney which is Asterix Park - see the way the French do it (it may not open until Easter). Close by to that is the village of Ermenonville where one of France's artists Henri Rousseau lived and painted.

I'm not up on the youth scene (no surprise there) but have Paris-based clients who are a good deal younger than me, so I will ask them for any lesser-known hot-spots!
