From its art, history, churches and parks, Paris offers plenty to see and do, without spending a cent. Here’s a list of top 10 free must-sees.
1. Marche aux Puces de St-Ouen
Peruse stalls of art combining antique dealers, retailers, designers, artisans and artists at the St-Ouen flea market and antiques fair. Founded in the late 19th century and said to be Europe’s largest, the space comprises 14 markets, each with their own specialty. Whether visiting for a spot of window shopping or to find an indulgent, vintage collectable to take home, the marketplace caters for all sorts of tastes and offers a truly unique atmosphere to soak up.
2. Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise
Visit the tombs of literary greats like Proust and Balzac and modern icons like Oscar Wilde and Edith Piaf at Pere Lachaise, arguably the world’s most acclaimed cemetery. Rock legend Jim Morrison also lies at the ancient resting place, which was established by Napoleon in 1804. A tree-lined path winds its way through the 44ha garden cemetery, making it one of the city’s most haunting yet beautiful walks.

Standing at the foot of Montmartre hill, the museum, incorporating a main residence, small garden and courtyard and two studios, was once home to painter Ary Scheffer, one of the prominent artists of the time. For decades, Scheffer hosted Friday-evening salons at the residence, inviting Parisian socialites such as romantic literary figure George Sand and writer Charles Dickens. Today, the museum displays paintings by Scheffer, numerous mementos of Sand and more, with free entry to permanent collections.
