For a really cheap way to see France why not see if you can book into a hostel instead of a hotel? You’ll not only save yourself plenty of dollars but you’ll also have a great time. Paris hostels are plentiful and you can book accommodation for under $25 a night, so just think what you can do with all the money you’ve got left over.

If you don’t know where to start looking, then why not choosing the Arbuci club for starters? You can groove to the sounds of cool jazz and then when you’ve worked up an appetite tuck into a meal of fish or oysters. If on the other hand you’re into the Caribbean scene then head on over to the BB Antilles where you can tuck into the delights of rum-laden fruit salad, and then boogie along with a live band. Concerts don’t start until 10.30 which gives you plenty of time to explore the city before calling into the restaurant to wind down for the evening. If you’re more interested in sticking to the dance floor then you’ll love Balajo , where you can disco and salsa the night away to your heart’s content. If you just want to sit down and listen you can’t beat a good cabaret with all the glitz, glamor, and style you’d expect from the French capital. If you want to find out which shows are on you can either go online or contact Paris tourist information who’ll be able to give you a list of upcoming attractions.

Finally, for all round great value why not see if you can book a cheap flight to Europe to compliment your hostel stay? That way you’ll have even more cash left over to spend on having fun, and you’ll be able to buy a few gifts for the folks back home too.
