Hi Cliff !
I'm not living in Paris too but I'm agree with Kilroy. Places he mentionned are very beautifull and very interesting, especially if you and your wife are fans of history and photography.
Cathacombs have very special ambiance but it's a place few people know or think when they come to Paris.
You also have a pretty district all around Sacred-Heart Basilica that you can see in most "Parisian" films. The Tilery Garden near the Obelisk can offer you a pleasant moment to rest and if you want, it can give you a way to the Louvre Museum.
If you have enough time, you can go to the Versailles Castle (as a fan of history, your wife will be at Heaven
) but it's out of the capital.
Bastille Day is a very particular moment in Paris because you'll have very few access between the Obelisk and the Arc of Triumph (all CHamps Elysee) but it's a good way to see the military parade with all french military corps. The parade begins around 10:00 AM if I remember.
Keep in mind, as Kilroy said : be very careful of your papers ! And don't forget that main streets and districts around monuments are tourist traps and you'll have to pay the high price if you want something :wink:
Have a nice journey !
