5 Days in Paris on a Budget

A budget-focused Paris itinerary shaped for value-conscious first-timers and backpackers balancing icons with cheap food. It uses specific neighborhoods, realistic meal stops, and a clear daily rhythm rather than trying to cover every landmark. The plan is designed as a strong ItineraryKit base draft: fork it to swap museums, upgrade meals, slow down active days, or add nearby day trips while keeping the core 5-day structure intact.
