- are free to wander.
Free Entertainment
Free Music

ment store. While you're here, don't miss one of the best free views over the Parisian sky-
line from Galeries Lafayette's rooftop. (Nearby department store Le Printemps also has
amazing - and free - views from the roof.)
Free Festivals
Loads of Paris' festivals and events are free, such as the summertime Paris Plages riverside
beaches.
Getting Around
Walking
Paris is an eminently walkable city, with beautiful parks and gardens, awe-inspiring archi-
tecture, markets and shops (well, window shopping never goes out of style) to check out
along the way.
