“Yes, it is possible to go out in Paris without spending a cent! Paris offers plenty of things to do at zero cost, whatever it is you fancy – going out for a meal, playing sport, watching a show, visiting an exhibition or taking part in a treasure hunt. See below some of our Tips

                                    A free meal at a bar or restaurant

You can get a meal for free or for next to nothing in Paris. Some bars and restaurants offer customers a free meal on condition they buy a drink.

Once or twice a week, depending on the season, restaurants like Le Bouillon Belge,Le Grenier, Le Tribal Café and Les Trois Frères serve up a free dish of couscous or mussels and chips. You’ll want to arrive early to make sure you get a table.

There is a craze for the Italian-style aperitivo in Paris.  These Italian bars serve free appetizers of the kind you would eat in Milan when you purchase a glass of wine or a cocktail. At Delizie, an aperitivo is on the house from 6pm on. Le Culture Rapide puts on a free buffet spread on Friday evenings. At the Lockwood, you can enjoy a free aperitivo until 8.30pm.

                             Free Exhibitions & Museums entrance fees
