I might be going to London in May but decided to stop over in Paris for 2 days before heading to London. Any suggestions on must see%26#39;s in such a short time. Also i%26#39;d appreciate any advice on train from Paris to London. I%26#39;ve been looking at eurostar. I ought to be staying in the Latin Quarter, in Paris 75005.

Hi Kim
There is a lot to see in Paris and two days might not b enough so u need to select really good what u want to see.
If you are into art u need to check the Louvre museum. Although is very very big and 8 hours walking fast inside the museum wont be enough to see it all, so I recommend u to check the website of the museum and select what u really want to see and plan your route.
U need to see the Eiffel tower I will recommend u to go at night to see the light show, it happens every hour and it is really amazing, do not go on top of the Eiffel tower there is a huge line and u will b wasting half a day.
U have to go to Notre Dame, check the church inside but also go on the top, there will b a big line to climb up but it is worth it, u will see many interesting things and u have also the best view of the city.
Around Saint Michel (Latin Quarter) there are a lot of nice restaurants and coffee shops, so make u sure u stop by some of them on your way back to the hotel.
Go and see the arch of triumph and take a walk in champs elyseé it is a must seen, and also u can find many nice stores there.
Don’t take the eurostar train it is so expensive, instead try to find a flight in any low cost company, such as ryanair o easyjet, it will b way cheaper. Just remember to add the cost of transportation from the city to the airports to get the real price.
If u need any other information do not hesitate to ask

Eurostar is the only train from Paris to London, and definitly recommended - easy, fast and generally cheap. Gets you from the centre of Paris to the centre of London with a minimum of fuss or bother.
What sort of things do you like to do? There are millions of things to do in Paris, but it depends on what you like! My recommendations for a flying visit would be a boat trip on the Seine, going up to see the gargoyles at Notre Dame, heading up for a wander round Montmatre and sitting on the steps below Sacre Couer and admiring the view, eating well, drinking well, people watching and, if it floats your boat, going up the Eiffel Tower. But other will say a completely different lots of things you *must* do!

Thanks for the feedback, the price on both the euro rail and eurostar are 81US to London, not too bad and 2/1/2 hrs.
I might bypass the museums thou my hotel is walking distance from Notr Dame and the Lourve so will see those. The Eiffel Tour is a must, probably at night given the short trip. The boat tour might allow for me to see alot in a short time so all great ideas.
Thanks

If you have any interest in medieval or Roman history, go see the Cluny Museum http://www.musee-moyenage.fr/ang/index.html
It is not overly large, is close to where you are staying, and has the wonderful Lady and the Unicorn tapestries.
National Museum of the Middle Ages - The Baths and Hôtel de Cluny
6, place Paul Painlevé
75005 Paris

You%26#39;re quite welcome, I hope you have a great trip to Paris. Just be warned - it is addictive!!!
I prefer la Tour at night, actually, seeing all the lights of the city is brilliant. The Vedette du Pont Neuf do a very good boat tour, with a guide speaking in both French and English:
