Basics
The islands are crowded with tiny, traditional French restaurants with wood-paneled dining rooms and old-world charm, a vibe they pride themselves upon. Be warned, however, particularly on the Île St-Louis, that it’s often an act. These restaurants cater largely to tourists, so expect to pay more than you would for an equivalent meal on the mainland—or just settle for some ice cream.
For 50 years, we have published the world’s favorite budget travel guides, written entirely by students and updated every year. With pen and notebook in hand and a few changes of underwear stuffed in our backpacks, we spend months roaming the globe in search of travel bargains.
