Moving to Paris can be a daunting and scary experience for anyone – above all if you’re a cash-strapped, English-speaking student. But although the capital can appear outrageously expensive at times, ‘student budget’ and ‘Paris’ don’t have to be mutually exclusive terms. So as to prove living in Paris on a budget can be both feasible and enjoyable, Time Out Paris has rounded up the best budget shopping locations, cheap bars, free nights out and cheap things to do in the city.
We’ve also included guides to three of the most studenty quartiers on the Left Bank and a list of handy apps, to help you navigate your way around the swarms of tourists and fish out the area’s trendiest hangouts. And, so you can get your work done (because it has to be done at some point), you can also check out our pick of the best English-language bookshops, co-working spaces and Wi-Fi cafés at the bottom.
