Being smart about making the most of budget travel and knowing where to go to capture the romance of Paris for next to nothing can really pay off.
There are so many things to do in Paris for only a few Euro and a bit of insider knowledge not only saves money but is sure to impress your partner. Little things like knowing that the price of a coffee is fixed at a very low should you drink it at the bar. But order it at a table or outside on the pavement and the price can rocket.
Where you go and what you do is rally up to you but here’s a few suggestions for romantic things you can do that won’t break the bank.
Start with a great panoramic view of the city without shelling out on a climb up the EiffelTower at the Tour Montparnasse and take in the views from their roof terrace.
If you’re planning a lover’s clinch there’s nowhere better than the Pont des Arts. It’s Paris’ most romantic bridge and at night is lit only by a single street lamp.
Even paying a bit more than you would at a bar you can relax with a coffee at the café terraces in Montmartre.
If you’re really looking for something sexy then try the Museum of Eroticism in Boulevard de Clichy.
