Things that I've come across recently:

http://www.paris-region.com/
http://www.ratp.fr/
http://www.fnau.org/index.asp
http://antivoitures.free.fr

I'd recommend the last one quite a bit. It's a very active blog about french planning issues from a resident of Paris. 'not 100% Paris (or even France) related though.

There's lots of information on urban planning projects on the City of Paris website:
http://www.paris-france.org/fr/urbanisme/ . The site is in French only, though. I suggest you use a translation tool like http://babelfish.altavista.com if you don't understand French.
