Pauline Frommer's Paris Spend Less See More

Spend Less and See More in Paris If you'd like to get most out of your dollars and your trip, this is the guide for you. I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you how to see the best for less and how to see it in a more authentic way-the way the locals do. Instead of spending $260.00 a night for a chain hotel, why not spend $260.00 total per week to rent a chic apartment in the trendy Marais neighborhood, or get to know some real Parisian by staying in a hosted apartment from $80.00 per night? Or how about dinning where savvy locals do, such as Le Rendez-Vous du Marche, where for a mere $8 you can enjoy three courses. Then while away the afternoon shopping at an "overstock" store where--Paris top designers sell off their wares at prices far below retail. Let me show you the "other" Paris-the one only insiders know about. Attend a cooking class in English with a top chef, argue philosophy at a weekly cafe philos, jitterbug on the banks of the Seine at an impromptu dance fest, or attend a dinner party open to all. These are only a few of the great ways to get closer to the culture of Paris.
