The perfect Paris picnic comes cheap: a crusty baguette (euro85 cents, US$1), a thick slab of Camembert (euro2, US $2.50), a modest Bordeaux (euro4, US$5). Take it to the sprawling park at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, spread a blanket and dine with a view that is priceless.
Paris has more than its share of high-end luxury, but plenty of this city’s famed culture and romance can come free - or at minimal cost. There are all kinds of tricks to enjoying Paris without busting your budget.
