Paris, how to save money in advance

• You can choose to save on transports by staying in a central neighborhood. This will make your entire stay easier, especially if you are coming to Paris for a weekend or for a few days.

• Another way to save money is to book accommodation that is far from the city center. You still have to consider buying a pass for transports, but it is a fixed cost you can consider in advance.

• Taking public transports will make you spare lots of money. Private transports or special shuttles always cost more than RER trains. Paris transports works well, and you can use them to go from the airport to the city center, and during your entire stay.

• Go to museums on the first Sunday of the month. If you can book your stay in Paris including the first Sunday of the month, you will access the most important museums for free! The downside is that everyone knows about it: be prepared to queue.

• Book your stay in Summer to enjoy free events in Paris. Besides the Paris Jazz Festival, there is the Cinéma en Plein air. Also, in Paris pages, many artists perform for free almost every night.
