Coming to Paris as a student or an intern and looking forward to letting your hair down in the evenings? Worried about the cost of living and surviving on a budget in the French capital? This article will show you that it’s still possible to enjoy a great night out in Paris without spending a fortune! <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Staying in<\/h2>\n

Yes, I know, this is meant to be an article about going out… but if you really want to save money, why not start with drinks at home, in the comfort of your furnished rental apartment?<\/a>
\n 
\nVisit one of your local supermarkets (Monoprix, Franprix, Carrefour, G20, U), where you can pick up a decent bottle of wine for as little as \u20ac3 or a crate of delicious Belgian beer for \u20ac5-6! Try to avoid general convenience stores, called “Alimentations G\u00e9n\u00e9rales”, as they tend to be more expensive and offer less choice. Invite some friends over to your cozy rental apartment<\/a> and start the evening with a sophisticated “ap\u00e9ro chez vous”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bars and Restaurants<\/h2>\n

Wherever you are in Paris, you’re likely to find trendy bars and bistros on virtually every street corner. What you won’t necessarily find, however, is cheap prices to match. In fact, lots of Parisian restaurants lure you in with affordable menus and then charge exorbitant sums for the drinks to compensate.
\n 
\nHere are 3 essential tips for saving money in bars and restaurants:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) Drink at Happy Hour<\/strong> when drinks are discounted at certain bars and restaurants in Paris. Download the App Happy City<\/a>, which shows you the nearest Happy Hours available, the times and drinks offered.
\n 
\n2) Stand at the bar. If you don’t make Happy Hour, certain bars and restaurants will charge you less for a drink if you’re willing to stay at the bar instead of sitting down.
\n 
\n2) If you’re planning on eating out, look up places in advance to see their menus. Restaurants, such as Bistrot Victoires<\/a>, Chez Omar<\/a> and Coriandre<\/a> all over main courses for less than 10 euros. To find out more, see our dedicated article on The Top 10 Budget Restaurants in Paris<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clubbing On A Shoestring<\/h2>\n

As you probably know, many Parisian clubs charge a hefty entry fee of \u20ac10-20 just to get in! Once again, it’s always best to decide where you’re going in advance, and that means before the first drink! There are several ways of saving money on clubbing, so you’ll have to pick the one that suits you best!
\n 
\nFavela Chic<\/a>, for example, offers free entry from Tuesday-Thursday or \u20ac15 on Fridays and Saturdays with a free drink included. Clubs like Showcase<\/a>, a swanky address under the Pont Alexandre III, offer free entry before midnight and \u20ac10 thereafter. Bear in mind that you might have to queue!
\n 
\nAlternatively, if you don’t want to pay for entry and can cope without drinks inside, here are some of the hottest student spots in town:<\/p>\n
