I've done the usual things, Eiffel tower, Arc De Triomphe, Champs Elysees, Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Place de la Concorde, Dali gallery, Saint Chapelle, Notre Dame

What other things should I see?

I don't really fancy Versailles as I'd rather stay in the city while I'm there

There must be loads I'm missing out on

Wander around the Marais, place des Vosges is nice. Village St Paul. Basically head from place de la Republic south towards Notre dame and wander, lots of the small streets around the Picasso museum are nice.

I took a full day to walk around the ninth arrondisement in general and then up to Monmatre recently. Starting at Pigalie, then down the Rue des Martyrs and back north to Sacre Coeur. The Rue des Martyrs is fun and interesting if you've already done Monmatre.

Good call, enjoyed this immensely.

Musee quai Branly worth a look unless you are galleried out.

Versailles - Definate even though you said you don't want to - well worth a visit

As mentioned - Picasso Museum is a lovely area, Catacombs' is pretty weirdly cool

among places I've liked as I've wandered around

Cimetière de Montmartre
l'opéra de paris - literally blow your socks off building
Parc des Buttes-Chaumont - pretty little park
Coquelicot - 24 Rue des Abbesses, 75018 Paris, France - should be anything special but is
http://www.grandearche.com/ - well worth the trip up to the top

Agree on Catacombes and enjoyed wandering around the cemeteries at Montmarte and others many years ago

The river cruise by night is amazing and the food really good.
