From Sunday’s “Affordable Europe” segment in the New York Times, here are a few suggestions for travelers who want to watch their pennies yet still enjoy all Paris has to offer:

Dining: Le Troquet, where you can get a 3 course meal without wine for 30 euros.

Lodging: New Orient Hotel in the 8th arrondissement. A single is 82 euros and a double is only 105 euros.

Sightseeing: Take the No. 69 bus. It goes by some of the most famous monuments and most historical neighborhoods in Paris.
