Citadines Saint-Germain-des-Près–Great location near the Pont Neuf and Notre Dame. Annie has stayed at this hotel and can recommend it personally. They won’t make your room every day (it’s more of a long-stay hotel) but they have a lobby that offers lots of services.

Carnavalet Museum in Paris
Photography around the Musée du Louvre on Tuesdays (when it's closed). Explore the lowest levels at the Louvre where you can see the old ramparts and moat. You don't need a ticket to see that part, but you do need to get through security.
Don't have breakfast at the hotel in Paris, it's better to go sit at a café and watch the world go by!
