I often visit Paris to see friends and family etc. Whenever I do so, I try to book all museum, travel and activities tickets in advance simply because I absolutely hate queueing.

In the last couple of years I've been using this online service called Allo-france, who sell everything from metro tickets to popular show tickets (lido de paris, moulin rouge, etc).

They're quite a small company which means they are very efficient at what they do and I have had excellent feedback from them.

I really recommend to anyone who is planning on going to Paris to at least buy their metro tickets in advance as they will struggle with the French metro ticket system when they get there. One of my favourites is also the Paris museum pass which gives you access to all museums across the city. Great for managing your time.

I travel frequently to Paris and can recommend the website www.parisnet.com for short-term apartment rentals and good boutique hotels.

The apartments are useful for longer stays, where a hotel would be a little bit stifling. For hotels they have a last minute section with great rates that are sometimes 50% discount from the standard price.

Surfing the net, I was looking for something for my weekend in Paris, la ville lumiere. I found this guide with basic information about this town with also a printable pdf version.

Obviusly it doesn't describe all about this town, but at least, it is a good point to start. There is also a detailed map of the metro.

If you go to Paris and want to prepare for a short visit there, take a look at www.paris-turist.se/index_eng.htm where you can find the most needed information about getting around in Paris and the best sights. Not a complete guide, but enough so you won't get tired.

ParisDailyPhoto is a blog that I found which shows us a photo a day of the city of lights, without being too touristy. I love the insight the author gives to things as basic as a traffic light, a cafe, or even the little green men responsible for cleaning the streets. Well worth a visit before your next trip.
