Accomodation: If you like fancy hotels close by to must-see, you'll have to go to Champs Elysees. There are main ones, and there are smaller ones in side streets.
For reasonable hotel fare, you can stay 7-6 kilometers away from heart of Paris, in Boulogne. This area has many hotels with Metro station connected to Trocadero Street (where Effile and tons of bistros/cafes exist) and Champs ELysees.
Initial Sightseeing: Best and faster way to get around on your first day is to stop by the "Tourist Help" kiosks. They will provide you with a map, guide and you can pay for tickets (very cheep, around 20 Euro) to the Yellow Bus (tour bus). It will take you to the all attractions (Effile Tower- Musee D'orsay- The Sein River - Arch de Triomphe- Notre Dame Catherdal...etc.
For shopping: Lafayette Street (leading to Opera Garnier, which you should visit if you like Oprera. If not, just pay the tour ticket with a guide to show you the inside of it) and the Huchette Street (20 steps away from Notre Dam Cathedral.
Bistros, busy live atmosphere and a lot of souvenirs: Quartier Latin. It’s a very ancient area too.
Romance: just stand by Sacre-Coeur (the sacred heart) at night!! Cannot get any better.
For Special French cappuccino and chocolate crepe..ummm that’s my secret..:))
