I%26#39;m going to Paris on the 5th August for a day, i%26#39;m taking my boyfriend for his birthday. We%26#39;ve both been once before but years ago while in school.
We%26#39;ll arrive at the garde du nord around 10.30 and depart at 8pm.
I want to: go up the arc du triomphe, walk around the eiffel tower (go up if time), find somewhere nice for lunch and go to a patisserie/ice cream parlour, go to the sacre coure and a river boat on the seine.
Which is the best order for all of this, location wise and time wise?
Thanks for any help i can get!

That is a tall order, but can probably be done if you don%26#39;t go up the Eiffel tower. The lines there are generally very long, though you never know.
Any chance you would go to Notre Dame instead of Sacre Couer - that would save a lot of time, though it is neat up at Montmarte. The Bertillion ice cream shops are near Notre Dame.
Here%26#39;s a start and maybe someone else will have better ideas.
Gare du Nord - follow signs (long walk) to Metro line 2 Direction Porte Dauphine. Get off at Anvers station to visit Sacre Couer and Montmarte. There are nice places for lunch here.
Return to Metro line 2 at Anvers or Pigalle and continue to Charles de Gaulle Etoile for Arc de Triomphe.
Return to metro station and take Line 6 (or walk) to Trocadero. Get off and walk across bridge to Eiffel Tower. (If tired of walking get off at Bir Hakeim).
Walk around Eiffel Tower and see how long lines are.
There are Seine cruises right near here.
This makes a circle - you could also do it in the opposite direction - going first to Eiffel Tower. If you really want to go up the Eiffel Tower, I would do that first, then you could skip Arc or Sacre Couer if you didn%26#39;t have time.
From Eifel Tower take RER C towards the center of town and then RER B north to Garde du Nord.
