I'm in a wheelchair so travel can be a challenge. My husband and I discovered home exchanges years ago and we enjoyed the South of France and Paris and Provence. Home exchanges lets you steep yourself in the lifestyle and culture of where you are staying. Paris is my favourite city and I loved every moment there. Thanks for your videos.

Very good advice. I've lived in Europe since 2002 and I've travelled all over Europe seeing the best of it on a budget so I know what you're saying is so right. There's no point checking into an international skyscraper block hotel that you can find the same in any city. Stay in a small boutique hotel or BnB it's still cheaper and your experience will be so much richer. Eat breakfast it will set you up for the day and take a piece of fruit from breakfast and fill up your water container. Walk walk in the gorgeous parks or along the Siene, enjoy. Don't waste money on Taxis. Don't follow the crowd. I've been living in Italy for 20 years and I've seen every corner of it and still so much to see. ❤ red

Hi Janice. I did write you a long comment on one of your videos. : ) I was in Paris in December and I've just booked another trip at the end of March. I had an old plane ticket that was canceled because of Covid that I had to use. Yay! The last trip was all food and sightseeing. This trip is for looking at neighborhoods, getting used to the Metro, etc. I want to move there so time to get serious! This video of yours and a few books I'm reading are giving me some great ideas. One idea you gave me is to think about not living right in the city and think about places outside a bit as well. Thanks so much for your videos! They are so helpful and entertaining. : ) And I'm getting a Navigo pass! And I can't wait for your next video!

If you have a membership at many American museums, you can visit Musee d'Orsay without cost and several American museums also have reciprocity with the Louvre. You can find out before you go.

My recommendation re flight prices - truly consider travelling off season, eg winter. Winter in Paris is cold, but certainly not as cold as many parts of N. America! Flights off season are super cheap. And Bonus! you would have many or the touristy places to yourself - win win. PS. Agree D'Orsay.

To visit Paris for a week you need around 2000$ or less depending on the hotel…. That’s tickets, accommodations, food, transportation in Paris and site seeing….. yep, airline tickets can be 420-500$ round trip. I do not book hotel with breakfast, usually breakfasts are expensive and can be avoided. Yes, there are good hostels even in Paris. I do not use taxi or Uber…. I use metro….. once you get the gist of how to navigate trough metro in Paris is absolutely great. Navigo pass is 22,80 euro for a week.

I have an insurance I used from Ireland. It only cost me like €420 because that’s all you’re going to need it probably won’t pay for that much but you can pay out-of-pocket for so many things. Yes it seems the older we get the more they want to raise our insurance. You won’t be able to use your Medicare here but insurance for a year to get the visa is what you want to focus on now. Then when you get here after three months you can apply for insurance with France

This was so nice! You’ve got me thinking of my favorite thing to do, plan trips! Bruges, is all about chocolate! So pretty! I bought lace hankies for my older cousin, and all the chocolate for myself. 😁 People on a budget should also consider traveling off season. Hotels and flights are much cheaper. There could be a few things outside of Paris that may shutdown sometime after tourist season, so keep that in mind if you have a particular destination. Everything is online to check out. Keep in mind, big cities like Paris also have convention seasons where the flight from the US is cheaper, but the hotels book up and can be more expensive, or you need to book in advance. Not sure how the pandemic will change this. Because I love to travel, when I’m bored, I pretend I’m going somewhere, and I do this throughout the year. You can also monitor the weather, and see what time of year will be best for you.

I am not sure if the Tuesday Wednesday bargain exists anymore. Most airlines show you a week of prices and you can choose a day from that around your dates, if you are flexible. Also, because of inflation a lot of Paris cafe’s were serving frozen foods.. to the point that the government started a program where they give restaurants a sticker to put in their window with the shape of a house on it to show that their food is homemade.. So when looking for delicious food on a budget.. look for the Maison symbol on door and a tiny restaurant like the lovely les petite olivier on 82 rue Cherche midi.

Other reasonably priced menus are the Plat de Jour, for lunch( Menu of the day.) You will still have 2-3 choices of entree, main, dessert. Or just choose 2 courses....all delicious where I've eaten, I live in Southern France, Remember there are great Cities and Towns, apart from Paris.( sorry, not my personal favourite) Try Toulouse or Lyon. We buy all our fresh produce from The farmers markets. Cheaper than Supermarkets and so, so fresh. Bruges is the most beautiful place, to visit . Also, not a trip from France, but I'd encourage anyone to visit Salzburg ( home of The Sound of Music) Brilliant tours, We've visited in Summer and over Christmas and will, definitely, visit again.

What does the double occupancy mean for pricing? I have never figured that out...I travel on my own and am confused when I see based on double occupancy....Do I need to double my figures when it has that terminology along with it?

No someplace will charge a little less if it’s just you also when you say that maybe you want a twin bed because there’s no one else with you you can get a little bit of a less rate. It just depends on where your staying. I even had a tourist agency It takes a bus around various places a couple of years ago and they wouldn’t take me alone. I don’t know if they still do that now. After Covid, they may have changed their rules. But it made me very angry I can tell you that lol

Who does all your illustrations? They are lovely. I really like that you are on a mission to get people to travel like me. :)

Well not only am I on a mission to help people travel I’m just on a mission also to inspire people. Hannah does all of my illustrations and you’ll hear me talk about her from time to time she is very creative

You are such an angel with all of the happiness and info that you share. I would love to know your back story. Did you retire, did you move forever, do you have a home back in the US etc.... I am trying to get myself together for this so im planning💫✨☀️

Thank you for your videos Janice! I am applying for a long visa in France and am wondering what insurance provider/company you have used for yours? I've been looking but there are so many choices and just wondered if you could suggest one. Many thanks. Jane :->>

I need someone to create a luxury hostel chain. I am too bougie/particular to stay in a regular hostel but I LOVE meeting new people. I usually end up talking to strangers on the street lol

you make it sound so affordable!!!

@JaniceInFrance

Well I don’t mean to make it sound unreal, but when I did get the estimate of $1500 not counting your airline I do think that’s doable. It’s just that you have to watch where you eat, plan ahead where you’re going to stay, and you can do it.

@JaniceInFrance

2 жыл бұрын

It is affordable if you watch where you stay, where you eat, and some of the things that I mentioned on there. I do not think that it is being unreasonable to say you could do this for 1500 but that does not count your airline ticket of course. And thank you for your kind words and hopefully you’re subscribing and following me and looking forward to more of my adventures in my little bit of advice lol

I would love to know about the taxes there. I was looking it up last night. If you are e resident of France but you have investments are you taxed in the US only if you are a US citizen? Are there any large extra taxes there? I know your not a tax advisor, I just wondered if you could share your thoughts.

Where is a good place to stay in Paris. I was thinking about staying close to Notre Dame. What district is that in? Thanks!💖

I love that area if you will go to the Internet and look at all of the areas and just look at some around the Notre Dame and see what they have for Airbnb’s

How much per month should I reasonably budget to stay in Paris for several months? What is the limit my passport will allow me to stay in France?
