In Paris, for a mere 40 centimes, the weekly magazines “Pariscope” and “Officiel du Spectacle” (they’re very similar, so no real need to buy both for the same week) are great sources of ideas in all budget ranges. For example, I attended a wonderful free piano recital where the pianist was every bit as good as many professionals I’ve heard.

Take advantage of free and inexpensive walking tours for your MP3 player; if you search on the internet, you can find them for many major cities and other areas.

You can take a metro ride and get off at a different station each time, investigating the neighborhood like that. And you could visit a different museum or art place every day too which would fill up weeks of interesting things to do. There are conferences and walks listed in the weekly magazines like Pariscope that you can attend or participate in. I’d love to do all these things!

What Karen wrote is so true about economizing. We live in France and with the price of gas we walk everywhere. With 2 children and three hound dogs–all of whom need massive exercise anyway, that makes for an interesting entourage into our Provence village for the daily bread. When we travel we base our itinerary on the dates Ryan Air charges “no tax” so that we can get to London, let’s say, for 10 E instead of the add on 50 E in tax. The most expensive item is dog food: here about $70 for a 20 pound bag of Purina!!! And $100 a 15 pound bag for my dog Romeo who has sensitive skin!!! So in my moving container I packed enough dog chow to last a year . So, when friends who intend to visit ask what I need I say “Kibble!”
At least the bread is good.
