The Archives Nationales at the Marais is like my second home. As next though I have only Ripperological research to do there, not anything pertaining to my job at this stage.
A steady contract I've never seen in my life so far, and it won't happen in my line of work, before I complete a habilitation procedure and manage to find a job as a Professor (if it works, he he). Unless I get a tenure-track job in the US, which won't happen anytime soon. But there are upsides to having different, everchanging appointments, firstmost the variety.
I love the Paris cemeteries, esp. Père Lachaise (where most of the composers I research are burried). Museum de l'Histoire Naturelle is a bit too crowded for me, but I guess it's great for you, if you have a kid. The most beautiful parc in Paris might be Parc Montsouris, but it's way too far from where I live. I mostly go to the Jardin du Palais Royal, or to the garden of the Notre Dame, which is by the river.
Fencing sounds really cool, but probably expensive.
