How To Eat Cheaply In Paris + Top 7 Picnic Spots

Creating amazing food experiences in Paris doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. I’m sharing tips on how to eat cheaply and seven of the best spots for a scenic picnic in Paris. Picking up some food at the grocery store and having a little picnic is one of my favourite things to do. The picnic might be outdoors or on the floor of your hotel room or on the side of the road…it’s all fun! Picnics are some of the best travel food memories for me and Marc.

I spent a month in Paris in a flat owned by an art dealer who only used it when she was in town for selling or collecting. It was pre-Airbnb. So, just a sublet. But it was the great recession, and the dollar was worth nothing. So, we went to maybe 3 bistro/ethnic level restaurants. Otherwise, it was just cooking in. And self-catered picnics. My big purchase was a three piece stackable vintage pot set--pan, lid, pot--that I used to make so many meals. I still cherish that time.

I love the idea of feeling like a local, and going for a meal on the grass Number six would be my choice for a picnic! I love the idea of exploring the old train tracks. What a great video.

So happy you are in Paris! Don’t forget Place des Vosges, in the 4th, one of the most beautiful urban settings in the world .

Wow, I do the same! I also love visiting supermarkets and shop for food like a local and cook in our van. Eiffel tower picnic is such a good idea.

[danieldumas]

Love, Love, Love these videos! Would also really like to see a vlog on some o the 'BOULANGERIES" that provide some timidly French (unique sandwiches, salads, etc.) to show ALL possibilities. Merci!

Great content! You did live like a local while travelling. So cool. Ps. from another clip.. I love that Flamingo pizza. 😂

It's totally nice to cook for yourself when traveling for a long time. Love David Sedaris too! Even on short trips, I love to check out local grocery stores. Crepes are so good! Luxembourg garden is a great place to watch the locals. Yes, pain au chocolat I want one. I have been to canal St-Martin, it is really cool too.

Such a good point about grocery stores !!

My all time favorite thing to do ( before I went vegetarian) was buying a fresh baguette, go to a supermarket to get some pâté de foie, go visit Parc Monceau, sitting down and preparing the baguette (yes: always have a cutting knife on hand LOL) only to enjoy eating and watching the scenery of that beautiful park!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video!!

[FoodandFootprints]

That creperie looked like a great one with lots of people outside. Lemon and sugar sounds delicious!

[HangryByNature]

I needed this guide when I was in Paris in my backpacking days! That crepe near your Airbnb looks amazing! River Sein and Sacre Couer are definitely 2 of my faves for picnic and drink spots ;)

[pashminagal]

Buttes-Chaumont and Bassin de la Villette are also a great places to have a picnic...
