It’s a city for indulging the senses: sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch. Paris just makes you feel alive. French food in particular is renowned for waking up the tastebuds but can you do it without breaking the bank? Yes, it is possible to eat well in Paris on not much money. Here are a few ideas:

One of the things the French are famous for are their sweet treats – pastries, cakes, and desserts – and of these, one of their most famous gifts to the world is the macaron (as opposed to a “macaroon,” which is actually a coconut cookie) – two shiny, crisp, thin, meringue-like biscuits sandwiching a delicate cream. They are little bite-size explosions of flavor that weigh a few grams and entice the eye with their many colors and the palate with their many flavors. You cannot leave Paris without tasting at least one macaron.

A trip to Paris wouldn’t be complete without spending some time sampling the famous breads and pastries.
