    We usually stay near Chatelet les Halles which is a major hub for the metro and RER (regional train) so you can get anywhere in the city as well as from/to CDG easily.

    Lots of hotels and AirBnB in the area to choose from.

    As for things to do in a non-touristy way you could consider booking an escorted food and wine tour.

    Tours by Locals and Viator are good ways to book such a thing.

    A 23 hour layover is a decent amount of time.

    Since most flights from North America arrive in the morning, I assume you are as well.

    Catch the RER into Paris, if you’re staying at a hotel then they will have baggage storage available if you’re too early for check-in.

    Go wander the neighborhoods and have lunch, or take your tour, grab dinner a bit later than normal (maybe at a restaurant recommended by your tour guide from earlier).

    Also try to book one of the string quartet/quintet concerts at Sainte Chappelle and have a late dinner afterward.
