Travel to Paris, accommodation, food & drink and places to visit can be quite expensive - so here are some suggestions to keep the costs in check! Enjoy Paris on the cheap with free attractions to visit.City of love, fashion capital, literary paradise…Paris has many different guises. And while museum entry can be steep and fine dining comes at a premium, the French capital can also be a very cheap date. Whether you go weak at the knees for soaring church spires or want to rub elbows at an authentic French market, let yourself be seduced by our top 20 must-sees.They are all are completely gratuit, letting you save the euros for the really important stuff: wine, cheese and a flashing Eiffel Tower keyring you’ll regret the minute you return home. 1. Cathédrale de Notre Dame de Paris
Festooned with gargoyles and gothic touches, this imposing Parisian icon is essential for every visitor. Entering this grand medieval edifice is free but if you can’t bear the queue then stroll along the Seine nearby for an alternate view of its spiky apse and naturalist sculptures. 2. Le Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen
Window-shopping (or lécher les vitrines to the locals) is a great way to take an indulgent peek at objets d’art and wild curiosities you’d never actually buy. The flea market and antiques fair St-Ouen is the perfect place to let your imagination run riot. Marvel at bearskin rugs, antique tapestries and brass diving bells in this decadently eccentric marketplace. (But try to keep your eyebrow-raising in check when you look at the price tags.) Hop off the métro at Porte de Clignancourt and continue under the bridge until the souvenir stalls give way to side streets crammed with beautiful buys.
3. Le Champ de Mars
A lift to the peak of the Eiffel Tower can squeeze the budget at €13.40 per ticket, but luckily the views below are just as stunning. Le Champ de Mars has lawns and flowerbeds manicured with military precision (as you’d expect from a former army marching ground). Bring a blanket, wine and the best brie you can find to this expanse of greenery and wait for the light show at dusk to set La Tour Eiffel a-twinkle. 4. Père Lachaise Cemetery
5. Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris
6. Marché d’Aligre
7. Basilique du Sacré Coeur
8. Musée Carnavalet
9. Parc des Buttes-Chaumont
10. Montparnasse Cemetery
11. Parc Monceau
12. Canal St-Martin
13. Atelier Brancusi
14. Arènes de Lutèce
15. Rue Mouffetard
16. Belleville
17. La Promenade Plantée
18. Théâtre du Lucernaire
19. Le Marais
20. Jardin des TuileriesRead more about the other 17 free attractions: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/france/paris/travel-tips-and-articles/76886?affil=twit#ixzz2Jvn9pm3e Top Attractions in Paris - Video
