Take our advice and seek out the low-cost life\u2014visiting Paris on a budget is just as much fun! <\/p>\n\n\n A handful of the best Paris museums are free, and always will be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The petit<\/em> brother of the famous Grand Palais<\/a> just across the street, this museum<\/a> is a delight of polished marble, ancient Greek sculptures, ornate murals and grand paintings. The beautiful garden, hidden away in a central courtyard, is welcome moment of calm away from the hustle and bustle of the Champs Elys\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Located just in front of the Centre Pompidou, the Atelier Brancusi<\/a> is an exact replica of the artist\u2019s studio. Constantin Brancusi<\/a>, a Romanian national who famously walked from Bucharest to Paris between 1903-1904, donated his entire studio to the city of Paris upon his death in 1957. The studio is packed full of his sculptures and plinths, creating a mix of rudely chopped wooden blocks and elegant, feminine forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Just a stone\u2019s throw from the Trocadero and Eiffel Tower, the MAM<\/a>\u2019s permanent collection is free. With a collection of more than 13,000 objects ranging from the early 20th century to today, this is one of France\u2019s leading cultural centers. Check out some of the biggest names in French modern art next to contemporary icons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the first Sunday of every month, all Paris museums are free! Get down to the Louvre<\/a>, the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay<\/a> or any of the other top museum. Just expect to be joined by hundreds of culture-hungry Parisians and visitors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sign up for the city\u2019s Velib Metropole<\/a> service. Paris\u2019 bike sharing network is a cheap and fun way to see the city. With hundreds of stations in every corner of the capital, it\u2019s easy to jump on and off the bikes wherever you want (and it\u2019s cheaper than electric scooters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n From July to September, make the most of the outdoor cinema at Parc de la Villette<\/a>! As the sun goes down, join the assembly of film lovers under the stars\u2014and don\u2019t forget the picnic! Deck chairs can be rented for a couple of euros for optimal comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The classic old-guy activity has been reappropriated by the Parisian youth! Grab a set of boules and get down to the sandy banks of canal Ourcq for hours of fun. If you don\u2019t want to buy your own, Bar Ourcq<\/a> just next to the canal will lend a set for a small deposit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stop at Miznon<\/a> on trendy Canal Saint Martin for cheap Israeli tapas and homemade pitas (starting at \u20ac8) ranging from full to bursting. It\u2019s the type of place where whatever you\u2019re eating drips down your arm, however hard you might try to be chic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the 1900s, there were more than 250 bouillon restaurants in Paris<\/a>. These are cheap places to eat with a short menu of traditional food. Bouillon Chartier<\/a> is one of the few remaining old restaurants in Paris. The impressive space and hilarious waiters provide a classic experience at a low price. Appetizers start at \u20ac4, and mains go from \u20ac8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The banh mi<\/a> is a Vietnamese invention\u2014a culinary result of the expanding French empire in the 19th century. Think lemongrass chicken, marinated eggplant, and spicy tofu, enveloped in the classic French bread. Sandwiches at Miss Banh Mi<\/a> start at just \u20ac7. The menu is subject to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This tiny space<\/a> in the vibrant 10th arrondissement is full of heat: a wood burning oven churning out fresh bread and lamachun. At a charcoal grill, kebabs are constantly spitting and flaming, until they are cooked to perfection. Sandwiches here start at \u20ac6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do as the French do and skip the restaurant! In good weather, the banks of the Seine are teeming with picnickers. Stop off at your local fromagerie, <\/em>grab a baguette, and join the locals down by the water. Just don\u2019t forget the wine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Insider\u2019s tip<\/strong>: The banks of the Seine are pedestrianized and equipped with toilets from the Louvre to m\u00e9tro station Sully Morland on the right bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join trendy locals at this vibrant bar<\/a> just off the rugged rue Strasbourg Saint Denis. They serve \u20ac3 pints of beer and the frites<\/em> are free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s rare to find a quality cocktail bar which doesn\u2019t break the bank, so this gem<\/a> in the trendy 11th arrondissement is worth celebrating. Be sure to arrive between 6\u20139 p.m., when happy hour means cocktails for \u20ac6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Visiting](\"https:\/\/assets.devourtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/visiting-paris-on-a-budget-1.png\")
