Answer :
Paris is amazing! The Eiffel tower is great, but other cool places to see would be:
-- The Louvre museum. it's HUGE, plan to spend at least 4 hours here and even then, you will only see a tiny bit. Hit the big stuff, like Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo first, then find a wing that interests you (Egyptian and Mesopotamian artifacts, for example) and spend the rest of your time there. Free the first sunday of the month for everyone, and friday nights from 6-10 for youth under 25.

-- The Tuileries gardens are right outside the Louvre and worth a stroll. They're quite pleasant in the summer, particularly. There is a carnival there where you can ride a ferris wheel and buy snacks. You can walk through the park where you will end up at the Egyptian Obelisk in Place de la Concorde. From here you can walk down the Champs-Élysées street, to...

-- Arc de Triomphe. The view from the top is okay (Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame is better) but the bottom is the best part. There is a French tomb of the unknown soldier and the architecture of the Arc itself is fantastic. Plus, you can watch people play real-life frogger by running across the traffic circle that goes around the arch. (warning: DO NOT try this yourself, hundreds of people die every year attempting this, there is an underground walkway that goes from one side to the other that you should use instead.)

-- If you like Impressionist art, such as Monet, Van Gogh, etc. plan to see the Musée D'Orsay. This isn't far from the Louvre either (you can see the Louvre out the window of Orsay).

-- Notre Dame Cathedral. See the inside, and then climb the bell tower to see the GIANT bell and hang out with the gargoyles like Quasimodo did ;)

-- Sacre Coeur Basilica in Montmartre. Quite lovely church, and the best view of Paris. You can climb the steps all the way up this huge hill, or wimp out and take the funicular (tram) instead.

-- Catacombs. Not for everyone, but I thought they were awesome. Basically a big underground cavern in the middle of the city, full of ancient bones stacked along the walls. The cemeteries in Paris were overflowing in the 1800's and old graves were moved here to make room for new deaths.

-- Versailles. An easy day trip outside of Paris, Versailles palace is located in a Paris suburb (quick 30 minute ride on the regional commuter train RER, line C). This is where Marie Antoinette lived, along with many other French royals. The palace is nice, but plan to spend most of your time in the gardens and Marie Antoinette's personal villa. Also, you can buy tickets in Paris at a FNAC store for 26.50€ (1.50 more than at the Versailles ticket office but you can skip the obnoxiously long 2hr+ line there).

--When you do decide to hit up the Eiffel Tower, if it's a pretty day, spend some time taking pictures drinking wine in front of it in the Champs de Mars park. And I don't care who tells you different, the view from the top of the Tower is SPECTACULAR and definitely worth it to see. (to save money, we did the stairs to the second level and the elevator to the top from there, rather than elevator all the way from the bottom. This was around 5€ (7-ish instead of 12-ish euros) cheaper, BUT you do have to climb the equivalent of 30 stories... we were broke students so we chose the exercise to save money lol.)
