If you can help it, take buses instead of the metro. It's too easy to visit Paris and see nothing by only taking the subway everywhere. While it will take a lot longer, you'll see everything. Something will jump out at you and make you get off. Problem solved.
The 95 bus from Montparnasse to Montmartre is a special treat. Get off at Rue Ordener and head east towards the 18th Ward Hall (metro Jules Joffrin). When you get to the back of Sacred Heart, climb the less-interesting rear steps so you get the thrill of seeing the view from the top without expecting it.
There are also some cool bridges on the far east side, out by les Marrioles. You can also experience the New York City similarity of their Little Italy (Place d'Italie) actually being Chinatown (really, Little Saigon).
We ended up taking the Metro most of the time, because Google maps doesn't have buses here. Except the #26 which runs by Alice's sister's house, as well as Gare du Nord and our first hotel. She uses that bus a lot, and we went to her place often and to Gare du Nord several times, so we got to know one bus route.
