Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Good comfortable shoes. The only way to really get to see all of Paris is to walk up and down the streets. Not to mention the walking in the museums. Sneakers will definitely set you apart from many other world travelers. A pair of comfortable walking shoes are a better choice.

Photo Equipment: You can't go to Paris without lots of film or digital memory for your camera. Don't forget that the power is different so you'll need to have a converter so you don't blow out your batteries while recharging them.

Miscellaneous: A French phrase book. You don't have to speak perfect French to communicate in Paris as many people there speak fluent English. That said, you should still consider learning a few phrases.. hello, please, thank you, etc. If you try, people will be more apt to help!

Miscellaneous: We have found two guides that we feel are indispensable, especially if you want a real Parisian experience and not a touristy one:

First is the Marling Menu-Master for France. This little guide will help you translate just about any menu item you'll come across in a French restaurant. No more fear if your french is lacking and the waiter is intimidating. Not sure what dodine de canard is, check the book and enjoy your meal.

The second is the Paris Mapguide. Light in weight but heavy in detail. We use it when wandering around to find small streets, restaurants and to get back to the hotel if we've wandered too far.

Both are available from most bookstores or Amazon online.
