I am beginning to think we won't need to leave the Marais district of Paris. There is more to see there than one week will allow.

Most definitely, we will want to visit the Musee Picasso that houses more than 1000 works of the master and then pieces he held in his collection of peers and contemporaries. Also, the Jeu de Paume at the Hôtel de Sully is a museum devoted to film and photography.

The Musée Carnavalet-Histoire, also located in Marais, is an historical museum where you will find paintings, furniture, and some personal items of French notables, from the time of King Henry IV to present and the history of the city of Paris.

As Patricia says, we might be lucky if we do a museum a day. With all the other attractions in Marais, we might be lucky of we get out of the district.
