Guys, the Euro exchange rate is really no joke now. šø As a Penangite who loves history and old buildings, France has been on my bucket list forever. Finally made it, but I had to do it the smart way so my wallet wouldn't bleed too much! š„²
Hereās how I enjoyed Paris and Nice without going broke:
š¼ Paris Vibe Check:
1. Montmartre & SacrĆ©-CÅur: A must-go for history lovers! Go during sunset. The street musicians outside the church create the best vibe. My 37-year-old knees complained a bit climbing the steps, but the view of Paris is absolutely free and priceless! š
2. Louvre Museum: Don't pay for those super expensive VIP tours. Just book the normal slots early on their official website.
3. Eiffel Tower: Skip the pricey 200⬠dinners. I just went to the Place du TrocadĆ©ro steps for that perfect shot. Zero cost, maximum aesthetics! šø
š Nice (South of France):
1. Nice Old Town (Vieux Nice): Honestly, wandering around the colorful, historic alleys gave me slight George Town vibes, but European style! š° Perfect for architecture walks.
2. Save on TGV: Book your train from Paris to Nice 3 months early! If you buy last minute, the price will give you a heart attack, trust me. Also, pack your own snacks for the train ride, food onboard is super pricey.
š” Quick survival tips for Malaysians:
Ā· Keep your backpack in front! Pickpockets there are fast like lightning. ā”ļø
Ā· Sunday most shops are closed, so buy your snacks and water early.
Ā· Opt for the 'Formule' (set menu) at local bistrosāmuch cheaper than ala carte!
You don't need to be a millionaire to enjoy the historic side of France. Just plan smart, walk a lot, and enjoy the views! Safe travels, guys! āļøš
