Paris Itinerary

When I have finally have the chance to go I'd like to have a general itinerary mapped out ready for me so here goes...

Day 1 - Wake up early and stroll the Rue Cler for a time to set the mood. Enjoy fresh fruit and bread for breakfast from the open markets.
1 - The Louvre - This is a must for me so I would like to do it on the first day to make sure I get it in. It opens at 9 am so be there by 8:30 to get in line.
2 - Walk along the Siene towards Saint Chapelle. Find a snacc and place for a picnic along the way.
3 - After Saint Chapelle, cross to Left Bank and head towards Notre Dame
4 - Take metro to Champ Elysees
5 - Walk to the Arc de Triomphe
6 - Take the metro back to the Eiffel Tower and enjoy an evening ride to the top.

Day 2 -
1 - Musee d'Orsay - This museum supposedly takes a couple of hours so make time for it and supposedly there is a good restaurant on sight.
2 - Take metro to Napoleon's Tomb
3 - Head back to the Right Bank and take a boat tour of the Siene.

Day 3 -
1 - Chateau de Versailles - minimum of 3 hours
2 - Take metro to Centre Pompidou
3 - Begin the walking tour of the Marias previously mentioned if there is time or move it to day 4 if possible.

Of course this is a very simple rough draft of the things I'd like to do. I'm sure things will occur in different order while we are there.
