As part of a longer trip, my SO and I are spending two nights in each of London and Paris this summer. He's never seen London, I've never seen Paris. As for Paris, the only thing on my must-do list is to sit at sidewalk cafes & people watch. I could live without seeing the Louvre if the tourists are going to be out of control. Any recommendations for not-to-miss and easy-to-get-to sites/experiences in either city?

When we went to Paris and London for a couple of weeks in 2000, we bought excellent tour books (Rick Steves, who updates each year). He talks about the best things to do in each city and has great tips for getting around easily. (For example, we bought Louvre tickets at a special place so we never waited in line for anything.)
I would definitely recommend doing all the touristy things. Also, try the ferris wheel at the place de la concorde, so you can see all of Paris.
