Travel France - September 2006

And to close...Paris on the cheap

September 22nd 2006 22:31

Bonjour tout le monde!

Well guys, I’m very sad to say that this is my last post on TravelFrance. But to go out with a bang I’m going to give you some information about going to Paris on the cheap. Being one of the most beautiful cities in the world, it is also one of the most expensive!!!

Accommodation is probably the most expensive thing. Unfortunately, I don’t have tips except to check out the youth hostels.

Shopping. Do your research thoroughly because there are often local markets held in Paris.

Going Out. There is a local gig guide which comes out every week. It’s written in French (obviously) but it’s still informative!!

Museums etc. If you’re a history buff, every Wednesday most museums let students and pensioners in for free. Definitely worth a look!!

The best research for travel on the web, though it may sound weird, is from Wikipedia. The information’s not spectacular, but it has several links for mot countries to their official sites. On the other hand, Lonely Planet is a great resource!!

How beautiful is this?! The Eiffel Tower at sunrise (this picture was taken by Tristan Nitot. It is licensed under the GNU Agreement and can be found at wikipedia.org)

Paris is an expensive city, but so is a lot of France when you think about it. But to me, it is a must see destination in the world. Thanks so much for reading my blog over the past 6 months. I’ve had a heap of fun. Check out the other posts on this blog: I'd like to think there's some useful information in them.

Just looking at that gorgeous picture makes you want to be there!!!
Best wishes and I hope you get to France one day.
Au Revoir

Wow!! Have a fantastic time! Be careful of the cold...I've heard Paris is bitterly cold in the winter.

am not sure if norfolkline ferries, fastest ferry operator to france, ireland,. has tied knot with the hotels there in france belgium.. I heard this at my office. the ferry fares are very cheap it seems. and the hotel tariffs aswell. only thing is what we hv to do is tell the norfolkline ferries ppl abt our program and ask them to book hotel rooms'.. they get us the best deal.
