I won't talk about Paris because there is plenty of info about that.

Euro Disney is just like US Disney, except everyone is smoking.

France is best IMO with a rental car and staying in small towns in the country. The hotels outside Paris are not that expensive and usually have amazing restaurants attached. Dining in France is awesome - a few courses spread out over a few hours (outdoors in the summer) with a cheese platter at the end.

I enjoyed:

Castles on the Loire - ex. Chambord
Champagne Region - Epernay, Riems - abundnant and cheap champagne obviously
Carcassonne - medieval city
Sarlat le Canada - beautiful medieval town - close to cave paintings at Lascaux
Alps - Chamonix, Grenoble, Mont Blanc - try raclette

Despite the stereotype, I found the French very warm and welcoming. Be clear that you are from Canada.
