The metro is awesome, and the buses are pretty good as well..

The champs elysee is the 'main drag' - big road, with La Arch D'Triumph on one end, and another arch at La Defense. It's peppered with ritsy shops, some great caberet (check out the Lido for a really classy, really good show)

Chinatown is pretty good in Paris as well, but for one day, I'd def. recommend a walk from Notre Dame to La tour eiffel via the siene. It'l take you half a day or so to do without stops - and you'll get a lovely sample of paris on the way
