What if you could have a lavish French adventure that typically costs $10,000 for just $1,000! France is timeless, romantic, and famously expensive. €400 hotel rooms in Paris, €18 glasses of wine, €200 dinners, and €10 coffees at crowded cafés. But there is a more elegant way to experience it all. Lonely Planet France says budget travellers should expect to spend around €120 to €150 a day on modest hotels, set-menu lunches, and standard sightseeing. But why pay that much for ordinary, when you could stay in chic boutique hotels, sip champagne with locals, and enjoy fine dining for less?
