    Camping in Paris | Staying overnight in Paris

    /

    During a city trip to Paris, chances are you’ll be staying in a hotel, apartment, Airbnb, or perhaps with friends. But did you know that you can also go camping in Paris? I camped at Camping Huttopia Versailles during my city trip to Paris and would like to share my experience.  Cheap accommodation in Paris It can be quite a challenge to find a cheap hotel in Paris because prices in the French capital are quite high. To save money, but also because camping is simply a lot of fun, I booked a stay at a campsite just outside Paris.…

    Cheap hotel in Paris: Campanile Paris Est – Pantin

    /

    Paris is an expensive city, so every Euro you can save is one. During my city break, I stayed in a cheap hotel in Paris. (Or well, just off the periferique, but very close to the metro). I shared my room with a friend and for four nights we paid €304. I would like to share my experience with this hotel. Ernestina and I booked our Paris city break more than four months before departure. We chose a weekend in April because we were hoping for nice weather but not too many tourists. Initially we had booked an Airbnb, but…

    Paris restaurant tip: Pink Mamma

    /

    There are thousands of restaurants in Paris, so choosing where to eat can be quite a challenge. Since I have spend a lot of time in Paris, I have visited quite some restaurants in the city and I want to share some of my favorites with you. One restaurant that had been on my wish list for a long time is Pink Mamma. But I have visited two of the locations and I can’t wait to go back again.  Officially, one of the locations of the Big Mama Group is called Pink Mamma. But since it is the most famous,…

    Cheap hotel in Paris – Hôtel Littéraire Marcel Aymé

    /

    Are you going to Paris for a few days and are you looking for a cheap hotel in Paris? Then I would really like to share this tip with you! During a city trip to Paris, I stayed at Hôtel Littéraire Marcel Aymé. A hotel in Montmatre, within walking distance of the Sacre Coeur and the Moulin Rouge. I really liked the hotel and the price wasn’t too bad!  Before my city trip to Paris, I booked my hotels. Initially I looked through Booking.com, but found out by accident that I could also book hotels through Tui. (At first I thought…

    Paris Museum Pass experience 

    /

    The Paris Museum Pass is ideal for tourists who want to visit many museums in a short period of time, for a relatively low price. During a city trip to Paris, I took advantage of it and visited no less than ten museums in two days. Therefore, I am happy to share my Paris Museum Pass experience.  Free museums in Paris 
Although I visited the French capital regularly for five and a half years and even lived there for a while, I had never heard of the Paris Museum Pass. Perhaps because I am not an active museum-goer, but also…
