Local knowledge for Paris

Where to stay

Budget beds cluster around Gare du Nord and Canal Saint-Martin in the 10th, where you get cheap kebab and falafel and a straight RER B shot to the airport. Belleville and the streets off République (19th/20th) run cheaper still and put you on the 11 and 2 metro lines for easy nights out.

Getting around

  • Skip paper tickets and load a Navigo Easy pass (a small fee for the card) at any machine, or buy a carnet of 10 (t+) tickets at once to dodge the per-ride price.
  • From CDG, take the RER B to Gare du Nord for a fraction of a taxi fare instead of an expensive taxi, then walk or hop one metro line to your hostel.
  • Eat your big meal at lunch when restaurants run a 'formule' for a very reasonable set price, and ask for 'une carafe d'eau' so you get free tap water instead of paying for bottled.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest in January and February (avoid the fashion-week days), and they fill up and spike from June through September plus a sharp bump around the late-September fashion week.
