Recommendations and budget allocation
- Prioritize museum tickets (Centre Pompidou, Musée d’Orsay) — allocate about 30–35% of museum/day-entry budget early to skip lines.
- Save on markets and garden strolls — many highlights are free, allocate more to a couple of standout meals or cocktails.
- Reserve one special dinner (Le Train Bleu or Le Relais de l’Entrecôte) — ~20 EUR each in this plan; consider upping one meal for a splurge.
- Set aside ≈5 EUR per day for local transport/walking extras; carry small change for markets and café tips.
