Budget Paris: three days at an affordable price

First day: classics of Paris

Start your morning with a traditional French breakfast - a croissant and a cup of coffee in a local bakery. It's not only tasty, but also economical. Then go to the Lafayette Gallery, where the terrace offers a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower and the rooftops of Paris. After that, take a walk to the Opera Garnier and go through the Tuileries Gardens to the Louvre (if your budget allows, visit it). End the day with dinner in a small restaurant, choosing onion soup and a glass of wine.

Second day: places of worship

Start your day with a picnic at the Eiffel Tower: buy a baguette, cheese and fruit at the nearest supermarket. Then head to the Arc de Triomphe and take a walk along the Champs-Elysées. Take a look at Petit Pale, a free museum with a cozy garden with a cafe. End the evening in the famous Bouillon Chartier, which serves delicious French cuisine at affordable prices.

Third day: the romance of Montmartre

Spend the morning in Montmartre, visiting the Sacré-Coeur Basilica, which offers a panoramic view of Paris. Lunch at Bouillon Pigalle will be a pleasant end to the tour: try puree soup and pate. During the day, explore the island of Cite and the surroundings of Notre Dame, and spend the evening in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés quarter, enjoying its atmosphere.

Budget plan for three days:

  • Breakfasts: 3-5 euros/day.
  • Lunches and dinners: 10-15 euros/day.
  • Snacks: 5 euros/day.
  • Transport: about 15 euros for three days.
  • The total cost of the route (excluding housing): about 110 euros.

Paris can be accessible and full of impressions if you plan your route in advance and find places that combine quality and reasonable prices.
