Ideas for trip to Paris in October 2023

Say "bonjour" when you enter a shop, even if that's all the French you know. Say "Au revoir" as you leave. Do not walk into a shop and just start walking around touching things. Be very alert on the trains to/from CDG; pick-pockets love this train as passengers are usually travelers who are not paying attention. There are many small museums in Paris that are not crowded. Don't wear a backpack. Stay in the 6th for the best shops and restaurants. Skip the E Tower except to view it from the ground. Do take a night cruise on the Seine, even though it's for tourists. Don't eat breakfast in your hotel if it's not included in the room rate. Have a great trip.

For those still looking here for Paris tips: You can drink the water in Paris, France, too. It's the one free drink in restaurants. Just ask for "une carafe d'eau."
Strikes encountered in traveling can occur anywhere. The current one in France impacts public transportation and garbage pickup. A recent one in Greece closed government museums. It's a good idea to check both longterm weather and any news you can get about your destination before departing. Neither need stop you and knowing more will help you adapt to the situations you encounter.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Paris with the first full day starting October 17. right now we plan 5 full days but that is likely to be longer.
How many days to get a good sample of the city?
Best way to explore Versailles and is 2 days required?
What to see?
Best area to stay?

There are 8 main districts in Paris, we spent a day in each. Plus Giverny and Versailles. 10 days.
