Guys, the Euro exchange rate is really no joke now. 💸 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! 🥲
Here’s how I enjoyed Paris and Nice without going broke:
🗼 Paris Vibe Check:
1. Montmartre & Sacré-Cœur: 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! 🌇
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 Trocadéro steps for that perfect shot. Zero cost, maximum aesthetics! 📸
🌊 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! 🏰 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.
💡 Quick survival tips for Malaysians:
· Keep your backpack in front! Pickpockets there are fast like lightning. ⚡️
· Sunday most shops are closed, so buy your snacks and water early.
· Opt for the 'Formule' (set menu) at local bistros—much 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! ✈️🌍
