Pauline Frommer's Paris: Spend Less See More

"A great read. . . . Lively and unabashedly opinionated." –New York Post budget travel redefined I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you not only how to spend less in Paris, but how to see it in a more authentic way, without sacrificing comfort for savings. Cozy, restful accommodations: Instead of spending hundreds of dollarsa night for a chain hotel, why not spend $500 per week to rent a sunny apartment on lovely Ile St. Louis (p. 28), or get to know some real Parisians by staying in a hosted apartment for $85 per night (p. 24)? Food finds: I′ll take you where savvy locals dine, such as Le Rendez–Vous du Marché, where for a mere $9 you can enjoy three courses (p. 94). Sights and attractions: Get in–depth coverage of Paris′s iconic sights andthe gems most visitors miss, plus fascinating self–guided walking tours. Insider′s Paris: Attend a cooking class in Paris with a top chef (p. 199),argue philosophy at a weekly café philos (p. 210), jitterbug on the banks of the Seine at an impromptu dance fest (p. 203), or attend a dinner party open to all (p. 208).
