Paris, the city of love, the capital of fashion, the cradle of culture and entertainment... the City of Light certainly has many titles. Its sublime, open-air museum-like landscapes have never ceased to inspire artists, writers, musicians, designers and filmmakers. So much so, in fact, that there are now two types of Paris: the Paris of the movies, synonymous with luxury and a touch of snobbery, and the Paris of the people, more chill and convivial. The latter are often amused by the clichés conveyed about the capital. And yet, sometimes fiction isn't so far removed from reality!
What's atypical Parisian cliché experience? Strolling through beautiful museums, meeting up in trendy bars, enjoying a good restaurant, strolling through the capital's most beautiful spots... After all, the Parisian art of living is no myth! And if you think it's all about budget, think again: Paris is full of good ideas for great experiences at affordable prices! The trick is knowing where to go!
To help you live the Emily in Paris lifestyle without breaking the bank, we're taking you on a journey to conquer these concepts, which have the knack of making luxury more affordable, or of letting you enjoyhot experiences at low prices! Whether it's a gourmet break in a palace, a cultural outing or a restaurant offering excellent value for money, the Parisian art of living is waiting for you! Follow the guide!
