If you're not from the EU, you pay a discounted rate, but you still pay. If you're in Paris for an extended period of time, try to get a Passe Navigo for the metro. You'll need to get your picture taken, and you'll need a local address, but it's worth it for the weekly/monthly/yearly all-you-can-ride rates.

Especially if you go there directly after Oslo which is expensive beyond comprehension. If you buy food in the supermarket, you can end up traveling quite cheaply there. However, the carnet is 12EUR according to my purchase from last weekend. Paris isn’t all that expensive, it’s true.

Research seasonal events and options in advance so you don't miss anything really cool during your visit. There is so much to do and so many things to see that are free, if you just research options before going!

Thanks for this article, I've got more information about Paris such as the place and the the things I don't want to miss there. I will be marrying soon and I'm searching for the places where we can have our vacation. This work helps me a lot. I’ve thought to have a vacation in Paris is expensive.

No charge at all for these. I would also suggest some of the areas that are just great walks like along the St Martin canal or up to Montmartre. No charge at all for these.

Three hotels under £20 in the centre of Paris.... Hotel Voltaire Republique, Paris (£15.23) Hotel Armstrong, Paris (£18.32) Hotel des Arts Montmartre, Paris (£18.36). And there's more ... you shouldn't pay 40 Euros for a camping site (rip off!) There's a new site called Anytrip.com and you should check it out.. has hostels and hotels all really cheap. And up to 5 star.... Paris is not that expensive.

You make a great point. Paris does have a public bike system, called Vélib’. You can subscribe for a day for 1 euro or for a week for 5. Trips a half hour or less are free but you'll be charged 1 to 4 euros if you keep the bike for longer than that. Don't forget your credit card! Thanks for introducing this! You make a great point.

I had never thought of that before. Sorry to hear that it was still pretty pricey, but what a cool experience. I'll have to look into that next time I go back. Camping in Paris, what a great idea!
