Paris For Free: Things To Do That Won’t Break Your Bank
The renowned, charming, and multi-faceted “City of Lights” has a lot to show off. Making its worldly presence felt in photographs, cuisine, literature, and films, most notably Woody Allen’s latest, Paris radiates enchantment and seduces dreamers of all kinds.
The Art of Learning at MOMA, NYC
Last summer we had the opportunity to travel for the first time to New York City where we used our City Pass to see the Museum of Modern Art.
Paris Museum and Attraction Closures
Summer is in full swing and it is holiday time for families. It takes a lot of planning to see Paris and not break that bank but if you plan properly, you can fit a lot in during your time in Paris and have the trip of a lifetime. But if you are like many people and only have a limited time in the city, you need to arm yourself with a few more tips regarding its attractions and museums. Closures. We had a few hiccups in our travels to Paris because we were too lazy to do the research. Paris has some great deals, great savings and a lot of free things to do, but you can also miss out on your perfect day in Versailles or at the Louvre if you happen to go when they are closed.
Palace of Versailles, To Go or Not to Go on a Monday
We should have known better. We had been in France for a month and we had known that many museums were closed on Mondays in Paris. If we had decided to check out the Palace of Versailles at the beginning of our trip, we most likely would have checked to make sure it was open.But on the day that we drove out to Versailles we were nearing the end of our European adventures. We had been to three other countries and had put nearly 7000 km on our car. When we pulled into the parking lot we couldn’t believe our luck. What a great spot we had and we were so close to the Palace. People must have decided to go somewhere else toady since the weather wasn’t looking promising. HaHa. To our dismay, the ticket office was closed.
