Are you a saver or a spender? Paris is famous for its luxury products but the price range is extensive. Prices can vary but are displayed. Compare lists, menus, shop signs, and then make your choice. Make the most of special offers, twice-yearly sales, free admission days to museums, free entrance for cultural events… and remember, a coffee costs less standing at the bar than sitting down at a table.
