No. Not if you plan of remembering anything and surviving the day, that is.
I think you have to spend a week at least to really feel like you've seen Paris.

Jaz: Great pictures... There's one where (unless I'm mistaken) you're on the "Pont des Arts". I love this bridge. In the summer, it's completely crowded with (young) people sitting, eating, drinking, talking, playing the guitar. And it's got a terrific view on the Seine and all the beautiful buildings that line it.

Did you go up Notre Dame? That's pretty sweet.

EDIT: The Père (not Pére) Lachaise is not your typically french cemetary. The graves are all packed (by the way, some people choose cremation, but not the majority) because there's just not enough room in Paris. In Paris, everything is packed against everything, anyway.
