Parisians, Help!

You should go and visit the area "Marais" - even though it's more commonly known as the "gay area" , it's a nice place to walk around in.

Montmatre, Sacré-Cœur, and Champs-Élysées visit these place, the first two are sightseeing, third for shopping.

I rented an apartment for €80 per night when I was in Paris, the apartment was very nice. Check Blocket.

I never played live, but most famous place in Paris is : http://www.aviationclubdefrance.com/en/le-club/acces/
For what I know, you have to be well dressed (can't enter with sneakers).

I'm not a parisian, though I have spent quite a lot time there visiting friends.
If you want to visit the most famous areas, so obvisouly kinda touristic, I just made a quick "balade" in the center of Paris. (just walking or with a bike).
With some points for the must see buildings or places.

As Iop said, you may visit Montmatre wih is in the North East also.

watch your pockets, seriously
you can find a standard touristic map everywhere. this map has all the subway lines and touristic places. there's a hostel called 'Woodstock', it's very close to the sacré-coeur (or whatever its called) and 200m from a subway station. simple place but very cheap if that's what you're looking for.

edit- sickest place i saw in paris was the national musique academy:

It's the Opéra Garnier in the eight (wrong : ninth).
Those are the big buildings and rich parts. If you go there, visit Place Vendome.

For concert, I like "La fleche d'or" or "Le point éphémère". Which are kinda indy. But not really hip hop/soul/jazz.

it says on aviationclub's :

Admission requirements
In order to enter and play in our establishment you must be 18 years old. To register, a current validity ID is needed, and you must pay the annual membership fee (100 €). The 2011 membership fee ends on December 31st.

seems kinda steep to pay 100€ for one visit or am i missunderstanding something? and i don't understand much of the other site, is there a fee of some sort to get in there or?

Yes there is. If you're just here for the weekend don't bother playing poker, it's not worth it.
Paris isn't that big so you can do a lot of stuff over a single weekend. Walk by the Seine, explore the 4th/5th/6th (everything within walking distance), then 18th and Champs-Elysées. That's a good start for a first weekend.

100 euro free? wow thats new from the last time i've been their. seems like a move to attract locals players over tourists.

lol its a 100 euro subscription fee, not 100euros for free, so if youre only gonna play 1 night its a pretty bad deal
and regarding raidern's "watch your pockets" comment, dont listen to him, unless youre a northeastern brazilian youre safe

The street worth walking most is Champs Elysees or however u spell it. Beautiful view from the top, and theres cool stuff everywhere there. Oh and all the poker rooms are on that street.

As for nightclubs and and places to get shitfaced, id say the notre dame area hands down. If you are there past when the metro stops running make sure you have wherever ure drinking at call u a taxi cause it can take hours to get 1 otherwise. (atleast thats what happened to me)

Imo if your gonna play a lot of poker while your their and rolled for 2/4 euro+ its probably worth it to throw down the 100euros at aviation club.

Dealers are excelent, very fishy, less shortstacks, and the everyone seems to have fancy play syndrome in france.

As mentioned before, dress code is strictly enforced, no sneakers and ure shirts gotta have a collar. Torn jeans are no bueno too.
