There was a topic like this just a few days ago, it should still be on the front page. As for cool stuff to shoot, just head in any direction near the center of Paris and keep your eyes open. You are bound to find stuff, though it is likely to be more of the intimate than scenic kind.
The routine "scenic" things in Paris are ultra wide angle shots from the base of the Eiffel tower or from corners of the pyramid. Montmartre is high above the city with the city below bathed in soft light during sunset, so scenics at sunset are certainly possible. Shots from the Notre Dame towers from judiciously chosen angles that make the gargoyles look like they are about to pounce on poor Parisiens can also be interesting, even if not entirely original. Montmarte attacts a HUGE crowd at sunset which usually means street performers. During one of my visits there was a guy with a soccer ball who had climbed on one of the lamp posts doing acrobatics, with a tighthtly framed shot it looked like he was hovering above the skyline.
Other than that, there are innumerable narrow streets and charming courtyards that present all sorts of opportunities for intimate/detail shots.
