The Basilica of St. Denis was the burial place of the French monarchs. It is located in Saint Denis, a suburb of Paris, easily accessible by the metro. It is well worth a visit, if not for the architecture, than for a chance to see the rather unusal tombs and artifacts scattered around the basilica.

While not everyone's cup of tea, the guided tour of the Sewers is informational (and free!). The museum has a unique odor that is not is as unpleasant as you would initially presume. The exhibits are rather interesting as well.

Versailles: Overwhelming

Versailles is not accessible via the metro, so you must take an actual train to get there. I think the journey is around 40 minutes to an hour, and it is a few blocks walk to the actual palace gates. I found Versailles (its appearence, the grounds) overwhelming due to its sheer size. The inside tour isnt much, and I was constantly trying to find my way around various tour groups of different nationalities. Indeed, with so many tour groups, it was hard to see any of the rooms or take any pictures. The grounds are well worth the visit. You could walk for hours in the gardens (if they are open) and around the fountains. Also on the grounds (and a fair distances walk) are the Grand Trianon, the Petit Trianon, and the Hamlet of Marie Antoinette.
