Here is Saint Christopher's Paris, the (excellent) hostel where I stayed. Both the building and the rising bridge are prominently featured in one scene in Micmacs, Jean-Pierre Jeunet's latest film.
Behold the strange architectural wonder that is the Georges Pompidou Centre:
Here is the Arc de Triomph (with, it appears, portions of it being renovated behind decorative panels) and the legendary Champs-Élysées.
Montmartre and the Basilique du Sacre-Coeur:
During my visit, I had to visit the world-famous bookstore Shakespeare and Co.
I also visited a building where Victor Hugo lived for a period of his life, today a museum dedicated to the man, his life and his legacy.
I later visited the Seine and, fittingly, the central locale of one of Hugo's most well-known works.

...and the Montparnasse Cemetery.
Finally, here is a variety of shots I took of the Eiffel Tower, that most Parisian of landmarks, and the Palais de Chaillot which stands across from it (on the opposite side of the Seine):
