Believe.
Touristy things are usually awesome. They are popular for a reason.
They key is to either visit really early in the morning or pay for an awesome tour guide that can help manage crowds and/or make it extra interesting.
I haven't been to Paris but that's my takeaway from my few travels.

Rent a bike, race around the Arc de Triomphe and try to dodge the cars
