Long Weekend in Paris

Hi all - I am planning a long weekend in Paris (This coming weekend
actually), and was wondering if people could give me a bit of advice.

We are a young couple on a tight budget - has anyone got any
reccomendations of good things to do/good places to eat (We are staying
on Champs Elyses). We already have plans to visit the picasso
museum/gallery, the paris zoo and the eiffel tower but were keen to
seek further ideas (particularly cheap restaurants)

Also, we are getting the ferry from Portsmouth to Le Havre, and then
will get he train to Paris...has anyone done this before? Any ideas on
cost, etc. (I've looked on the net but not managed to find a confirmed
price for returns).

Any info/ideas or stories of your experiences in Paris will be
greatfully recieved.

A tight budget, did you say?

museum/gallery, the paris zoo

This is not a spectacular zoo, and I think it's in trouble at the moment. Go
to Basel or San Diego instead! Your time will be better spent seeing
something Paris has that no other city has all of which are described in
every guide book.

Good luck
