I was in Paris last July and stayed in the airbnb in the outskirts of the Marais area. The landlady asked me if I was going out to have lunch, and said: Don't go into Marais, too touristy and too expensive, go towards Bastille, same quality and lower prices. I appreciated her advice.
My husband and I just returned from Paris, best tour and worth the money was Vincent's tour!!! We were the Bi racial couple and proud to say my husband is telling everyone that a real Parisian chef taught him about wine!!! I just added up our trip. for 2 of us we spent 5200.00, we stayed for 1200 at a bed and breakfast by Arch de T. Our room was beautiful with large windows but it was 4 flights of stairs, our flight was through Google at 800.00 a piece round trip purchased on a Thursday at 11am. we used the metro, but it did take a day to figure it out, and it gets VERY crowded. Learn enough French to speak to a driver, with Les Frenchies advice we ate at quiet off the path restaurants are meals were excellent we also shopped at Monop! Our biggest expense was the spa treatment's around Paris we did. We did chocolate for family souvenirs. We have decided to come back again in the off season February because Paris seems like a great vacation in cold weather, and less busy...BTW we couldn't have done this vacation with LEs Frenchies guidance they are worth binge watching ❤❤
I spent three months in Paris last year. Travelled by train all over France using Paris as a base.Wasn't budgeting, just did whatever I wanted. The cost was USD10k. Loved it. Extremely easy to travel within France. Walked everywhere in Paris. I found the people to be very polite everywhere I went.
Just got back from a full week in Paris. I am not a money person, and had a wonderful, full and memorable time. I absorbed the gardens and city, hit a few museums, went to a couple concerts, and got around the city via Navigo pass. I used your guide for vegetarian spots too. Thanks.
I’ve been to Paris 3 times in the last year , I’ve always gone midweek and outside of the summer / European school holidays. Stayed in very comfortable hotels right next to metros (100 euros a night ) ate in bakeries / cafes / lunch formulas use the bus / metro (50 euros a day)
Parisian tip: go to the little streets on the side of the main thoroughfares. For example, a jambon-beurre sandwich (classical sandwich for parisian workers) costs almost €4 in the bakeries on rue Saint Antoine (a main street, a direct route between Bastille and Châtelet, which is very popular with tourists). The same sandwich in the little streets off rue Saint Antoine costs €2.5 and tastes better. In Paris, there are large avenues, large streets (built by Haussmann) and, starting from these large avenues, very small streets (those dating back to the Middle Ages). Products are always cheaper in the small streets (except in the hyper-tourist areas, where it's expensive everywhere). Welcome in my beautiful city !
Last July while in Paris, I stayed in a Airbnb flat that was very reasonable. The only tour I did was Versailles. I didn't go out to any restaurants. I walked all over the place and really enjoyed myself without spending any money. I'm going back again in a couple months
We came back a week ago. We saved up and it was the best experience ever! Stayed at Hotel le Cardinal, ate at a couple restaurants, ate mostly at boulangeries, paid to go to the Louvre and Hotel des Invalides, saw other attractions for free, Ubered back to our hotel after walking all day, stayed at the Marriott outside of Disneyland Paris for 5 days and went to DLP for 4 days. Bought groceries and went to an artisan boulangerie nearby. It was only slightly more expensive of a trip compared to what we spend on other vacations. It was amazing! It was so fun to eat our way around Paris ❤️
Parisian tip: it's not necessary to book your activities in advance. But when you're planning an activity, buy your tickets online. Queues to get into a museum or monument are a nightmare (you can easily spend 2 hours there). By booking online, you can choose what time you want to enter the museum or monument and, as a result, you don't have to queue - there are special fast-track entrances for those who already have their tickets. You should be aware that buying a ticket costs €1 to €2 more than buying one on the spot. But when you've got 2-hour queues, it's well worth it! Welcome to my beautiful city !
On our last trip to Europe we visited France, England, and Ireland. France was by far the least expensive. Absolutely loved it.
What a superb video! Thanks so much Colleen and Antoine ! You have covered everything and what a great reference source. I hope a suggestion is not offensive: I will book in to a moderate bed and breakfast for lets say five days and my final two days at a high end hotel because I want luxury and pampering with spa service. It doesn't break the bank (no, I am not booking the George V ! ) but the upgrade is great and, for me, the perfect way to end the trip. I will be doing that in Paris -- but not this year because of the Olympics! In one of your videos you purchased the boat trip with getting on and off at different places. I thought that was brilliant! And then there is the dinner boat -- that was great, too! Thanks so much for all of your videos. I have said it before : You are the one-stop and the only stop for Paris (and surrounds) videos on the internet ! Now, back to my Saturday morning second cup of coffee here in NYC! Cheers from New York !
🇫🇷🌹Paris is the one place I stay consistently at Airbnbs which offer more space and a kitchen at very reasonable prices. Its wonderful to feel I'm living, if temporarily, in a Paris neighborhood. Also no banging doors day and night, noise from hotel corridors and teeny tiny rooms at high prices. To get the best Airbnb I book 6 months in advance.

In 2013 we stayed in an apartment in the Marais district (4 adults). It wasn’t super posh and one of the beds was a couch bed but we had all we needed. A small kitchen, separate bathroom, one separate double bedroom and a living area which doubled as a bedroom at night. All perfectly adequate and comfortable. No lift, 2 flights of stairs, and wi-fi available (although we couldn’t get it to work!). It was clean and pleasant and less than a stone’s throw from the corner of Plâce des Vosges! At 750 euros (total) for 5 days we were super happy with it. Stayed there in 2010 as well but sadly I think it has since closed.
Perfect timing, I keep telling folks it's not so expensive to travel to fantastic places like Paris. Now I have a video for them 🙂
Love Paris for the food and the people! Yes I find everyone is kind, especially when enjoying food. We all love to share great finds for good fun and food. Thank you 🙏
Its a easier and cheaper to go to Paris than to NY from SFL 😁😁😁😁… I checked. Yes and Yes for Paris.
I am in Paris right now and thanks to your videos, tips, and suggestions I am having an AMAZING trip. This city is beautify and the people are so kind
Your analogy of cost comparison between Orlando and Paris is spot on. We spent $15k on a 11 day trip to Disney World for 3 adults for the 50th Celebrations in October 2021. That kind of money made me sick looking back so we decided to go to Europe. We spent $20k on a 16 day trip to Paris for 4 adults just last month. But that does not include my wifes LV spending...🤑
I got my husband ´I ❤ Paris’ socks last year and he surprised me by wearing them on our wedding day! Best 2€ ever spent! One step closer on getting him to Paris.
