an august weekend in Paris

On the way home from our 3rd anniversary trip to the South of France, we stopped in Paris for 2 days to hang out with Matt's sister and her family, who also happened to be in France for vacation.  We only had a weekend to wander around, and were with a toddler, so spent most of our time leisurely strolling through our favorite tourist areas.  Is there a prettier city than Paris in the Summer?
