Remember that bread and water in Parisian establishments are served free of charge. But keep in mind that often, by default, waiters take orders for mineral water, this is paid. To order plain water, use the phrase “Carafe d'eau s'il vous plaît” (Carafe do sol vuple). This means that you are ordering free water.

In the center of Georges Pompidou, a free observation deck is available to visitors, which offers a breathtaking view of the city. Another cool view point is the Sacre Coeur Basilica. In the warm season, Parisians spend evenings and meet sunsets in Montmartre, just at the foot of the basilica. One of the best views of Paris opens from there!

Public toilets in Paris are free and there are plenty of them around the city. So if you see a gray booth on the street, then he is. An important point: you can enter only after the green light is on, otherwise you risk buying a little more.
