We were thinking either Normandy or Versailles since they are both day trips.

save some money and only go up to the middle level, not the top. take the stairs not the elevator (if you're in shape)

For some reason, going up the eifle tower scared me more than the burge Khalifa.

The palace at Versailles was cool. If the Paris Temple is something you’d like

Versailles is a great day trip. Easy train ride from Paris. I'd rent a car to go to Normandy and Mont Saint-Michel

Versailles is like a 40 minutes drive. Normandy is like a 4 hour drive.

There is definitely not time for that if you are going to Paris for 4 days, IMO

Orsay was better for that and not nearly as big. I liked being able to look

And if you do the Seine boat ride from Port Neuf, you go by the Orsay and can see it from the river side as well.
