Paris 2 Days in June

Forgive the lack of accent marks in this post. I'm taking my daughter to France for her 16th birthday. I went as a teenager but haven't been back since. We're both fairly active and she has dreamed of going to France for years. We're starting in Annecy, going to Lyon, then Giverny, Rouen, Etretat, Mont Saint-Michel, Saint Denis, and ending in Paris. While in Paris, she wants to see:

BNF Richelieu (including Oval Room and Museum)

Luxembourg Gardens

Eiffel Tower (have lift to the top 9:30 pm tickets)

Palace of Versailles (have 9 am tickets), want to see palace and some of the gardens but not spend all day there

Saint Chappelle

Notre Dame Cathedral (not including bell towers)

Pantheon

Sacre Coeur including Dome

Walk by Arc de Triomphe

Walk by Louvre pyramid

Shakespeare and Company and/or The Abbey Bookshop

Pont Alexandre III

Pont Neuf (we'll be there during the art installation)

We're staying in the 13th arrondissement near Place d'Italie. We're thinking of this itinerary:

Evening of Arrival:

Luxembourg Gardens

Day 1:

Pantheon

BNF Richelieu

Sacre Coeur

Arc de Triomphe

Eiffel Tower

Day 2:

Versailles

Saint Chappelle

Notre Dame

Louvre Pyramid

Shakespeare and Company and/or The Abbey Bookshop

Is that doable? AI is telling me it's not but it doesn't seem like that much? Are there things nearby we should see that aren't on our list? Are any of these things not worth it for a first time visitor? Is there a better grouping we should consider?

We don't want to be super rushed but are okay being on the go all day. We will have a metro pass and are okay walking too. We want to have time to souvenir shop and enjoy the sites.
