If you have time for a day trip, GO TO VERSAILLES. It will make you want to live in a castle and need a carriage just to get around because the grounds are so big. It is really amazing.
Ditto Notre Dame - if you can stomach the stairs there are great views from the top of it.
The Louvre is worth seeing. Yes, see the famous things, but then choose a floor that interests you (you will never see the whole thing in a day) and marvel at how quiet it is everywhere else.
Other than that, just wander along the river and enjoy the atmosphere! Drink in a cafe! Talk pretensiously about philosophy and smoke fancy cigarettes! Have a great time!
