La Vache au Comptoir - the best burger you'll ever taste.

Luxembourg gardens Magnifique! they were created by Queen Marie de Medici (widow of Henry IV)

The tour of Garnier's Opera House is jaw dropping except for that hideous Chagall roof painting in the auditorium put there in 1964. I'd rip it out and restore the gilt splendour. You'll be surprised at the length of the boxes. Not like ours at all. They had dining tables in them and would eat a meal and maybe wander to the front to watch a bit of opera - returning to their meal at the table. Quite bizarre.

You can always do your "Phantom" strut down the amazing Grand staircase:



These days it is mostly ballet that is performed there. Grand operas tend to be at that monstrous concrete block over at the Bastille.
