hey everybody today we're going to be
talking to you about free things that
you can do when you visit that beautiful
city of paris. I love visiting Paris
because a lot of cities are really
expensive to go in and see any of the
sights but Paris is different, there are
so many free and cheap things to do and
we're going to round up all of our
favorites. First thing I recommend you do
is go check out the cemeteries. Paris is
renowned for those big gothic cemeteries
Pere la Chaise is the first one you should
go visit because it is the most famous
there you can see the grave sites of
the great Doors singer Jim Morrison
Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaff, so there's lots of
places to walk around and look around
the famous graves, but also check out all
the other ones there. Super interesting there
are other cemeteries as well like the
Montmartre cemetery and the Monteparnasse
cemetery so you're not just stuck seeing one
and they all have equally as exciting
people to visit.
And if death isn't your scene while you're in Paris make sure
to check out the museum. Many mediums in
Paris offer free days once a month, like
the musée d'Orsay here, on the first
sunday of every month you can get in for free.
Did you know if you are 25 and younger
and a part of the EU you can get into
all museums for free but never fear if
your old farts like us you can get into
museums on the first sunday of every
month for free that would include the
Louvre that would include musee d'orsay
and it would include the Centre Pompidou
so make sure that you check those out on
the first sunday of each month and also
Paris has 14 city museums that you can
visit for free at any time and hey this
is Paris so if you're going to a museum
is going to be spectacular. Yeah, any museum
is a good museum when you're in Paris
Here's a tip to help you save money whenever you see
the emblem of Paris on a museum it means
it's free
When you're in Paris be sure to take advantage
of the free churches like Notre Dame
here. They're absolutely beautiful inside and
they're free
If you do want to go up into the bell tower or
down to the vault there may be a small extra
fee but just seeing the churches on
their own is a grand and spectacular
thing to do in Paris.
For your next tip of Paris on the cheap
come to Sacre Couer
it's free to go in and you get this absolutely
amazing view of paris and we're always
looking for stunning views when you're
in Paris yes a lot of them like if you
go up to the Eiffel power you have to
pay but here's a little bit if you had
out the sacre-coeur to the steps of
sacre-coeur and Montmartre you have what I
consider one of the most beautiful views
of the city. I'm on the steps of Sacre Couer
in Montmartre and it's the best view of Paris, save for the
Eiffel Tower or Monteparnasse, but this view is free
and while you're there
bring a bottle of wine you can drink
some wine and have a picnic
When in Paris make sure to take advantage of free tours
They're all over the place and it's a great way
to learn about the history of Paris
Just look up free walking tours in Paris on
the internet and you'll find ones that
leave daily from the Montmartre area and the
Latin Quarter you just join a group and
they'll take you around to see all the
sights of the area
I've got to say my favorite area of
Paris is Montmartre, it's the artists
quarter so you can walk around, they have
markets there and have artists
performing their art they're all day
long and really you really feel like you
sort of step back in time when you're in
Montmartre. Yeah there's a lot of cafes so you
can sit outside and sip a cappuccino
there's street performers everywhere and there's a lot
of museums that you can visit as well in
Montmartre. And if you look closely you can
see where a lot of film shots of famous
scenes, Yeah
you can check out our blog theplanetd.com
and check out our Paris Movie Walks,
if you really want to see where
some of the films that have been shot in
Montmartre are.
Paris really is a walking city,
you can really put on a lot of miles i
always find when we're there, we're putting on tons of
miles just walking
yeah there's great just walking towards
to do on your own you know definitely
walking up the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe
Which you can also get into for free the
Arc de Triomphe it's free to visit just as
long as you don't go up. If you want to
go up and see the city view there's a
fee but otherwise you can explore all of
the ground and see the tomb of the
unknown soldier and check out the gorgeous archways.
What's another great walking tour area
I think walking around Pont Neuf and along the
Seine there, just even walking along
there if you get these beautiful views
and you get to really take in the grand
architecture that Paris is known for.
You don't have to go into all these places
and pay to actually see them just walking
around will give you a feel for that
je ne sais quoi, that you get in Paris
taking a stroll along the seine is a
perfect way to spend part of your day
These vendors have been here for years.
I know it took David I four trips to Paris
before we even went up the Eiffel Tower
and we were always just happy to just go
stand under it and look at it from the
banks of the Seine and just take in all of
the different views that you get from
it from the city.
Place de la Concorde, known for
its executions during the French Revolution
is also free to visit
You can't go to Paris without enjoying some music if
you're looking for something to do for
free
the music conservatory offers 300
student performances a year good and you can get in
and see them for free
Radio France also offers a hundred and
eighty free concerts a year at the
Museum of Fine Arts.
And if you happen to
be there between May in September you
can do a little dancing with your loved
one on the left bank of Seine for free.
And don't worry they offer free
tango lessons if you don't know how
Paris is known for its fashion and
while you can go and want loves along
the Champs Elysees and check out all the great fashion
there are free fashion shows that
happen every friday at the
Galeries Lafayette
