We were there in August, but only for the day (staggered the flight connection via CDG so we had 10 hours to look around Paris) - I'd recommend one of the bus tours of the city, the one we found had commentary in 8 different languages.

We also visited the Eiffel Tower and Sacré Coeur before going back to Montparnasse station to return to the airport. I'm afraid that's all I really know hope you have a great time

The Montparnasse tower is right there. A massive skyscraper which offers an alternative birds eye view of Paris. Its also cheaper and less busy than the Eiffel Tower. When we went, we did both!!!

The area is quite lively with lots of restaurants and bars nearby. The station is also very well connected for getting to other Paris areas.
