We would like to take our teen daughter to Paris…but we are on a budget and safety is key. I would rather spend more on safe hotel than food since she’s a picky eater anyway…although maybe that will change. We saw the Paris Pass-thank you! Any further recommendations for getting Parisian feel on a budget that includes safety?
Hi Karen! Your details have been removed. Safe travels to Paris. xo
Hi Karen,
Did you see my safety post for Paris? https://everydayparisian.com/2017-3-2-paris-safety-tips-for-female-solo-travelers-in-paris/
Purchase tickets for the batobus https://www.batobus.com/en/discover-batobus which is a tour boat around the city with different stops. The price is around 20 euros and is a good way to see the city.
I’d definitely also recommend Parc Montsouris and Parc des Buttes Chaumont. Parc Montsouris is like something out of a George Serraut painting- super adorable, full of families and life. Parc des Buttes Chaumont is SO unique with bridges, grottos, temples, waterfalls, and a wonderful hill to see Paris from. Both of those are awesome places for a picnic (there are boulangeries right by each). I have so many happy memories of sunny afternoons at these parks with my friends.
Megan! Thank you so much for the recommendations. I have yet to been to either and will do my best to make it to your Parcs in October when I am back. Its good to know there are boulangeries by both 😉 Always good for picnics! Merci xo
Lovely addresses, the next time I will enjoy a cup of coffee at Cafe de Flore. The last time it was closed 🙁
Thank you! Cafe de Flore was closed?? I have never seen this! When were you there. I hope you get a chance to go back and visit again soon!
