It's possible for two
people to visit Paris for a few days, stay in a nice hotel, have three good meals each day, and
spend less than 100€ per
person per day, total—even less if you rent an apartment, or just a bed.
It's somewhat easier
to stay in a nice hotel if you're willing to spend 150€ per
person, particularly in busy
tourist seasons.
If you stay for a few days, a week or two, you can rent
a small apartment, get more convenience and space, save by preparing some of
your own meals, perhaps share your lodging
costs with friends, and lower your
daily cost for lodging and food to as little
as
70€ to 80€ per
person per day. (Try that in Singapore, New York, London
or Tokyo!)
