Paris on a budget

Paris on a budget

Sorya. K
Paris is quite expensive. But I promise you that you can still made the best of it on a budget. Here are cheap and even free activitys and great public spots. Also : - Note that you have loads of reductions in all cultural activities when you’re a student or -26yo. - Most fancy clubs are free for girls. - Enjoy Happy Hours. - How do we survive with these prices ? Buy a cheap wine, bread & cheese and go spend your summer night on the banks of la Seine. - Paris is an open sky museum. Just raise your eyes and get lost to assist the whole show.

A nice view from a popular side of Paris, still not so touristic. Enjoy the moment and get down by the park.

La Barge du CROUS de Paris
@sorya
This place made for student is one of the cheapest you’ll find. It’s basically a canteen with an excellent quality/price ratio (4/6€ a full plate, 3/4€ when you own a “Crous” student card) And it’s located on a barge.

Le 138
@sorya
This place is honestly a mess. It’s the only 27/4, bar I know in Paris. If you want to blend in a true Friday night as a east side Parisian, you might like it. Prices are pretty affordable.
