Paris Travel Deals

A big money and time saver is to purchase a Museum Pass. There might be different versions. This one can be purchased online in advance of travel or at train stations or museum entries. It pretty much pays for itself after two or three museum visits. One HUGE advantage is since its difficult to do the Louvre all in one day, you can go back as many times as you want and only pay once! PLUS, you get to bypass the long lines waiting to get in and use a special VIP entry.

With The Paris Pass you will receive:
A free map of Paris
Free entry to over 60 sights and attractions
Additional special offers and benefits at selected restaurants and shops
Free use of public transport within Paris Zones 1 - 3 (Metro and buses) for the validity of your pass
Skip the queues with fast-track entry at many of the major sights, including the Louvre, Pantheon, Arc de Triomphe, Musee d'Orsay, Centre Pompidou and many more!

This just posted on Budget Travel's email newsletter: Air France just announced that passengers can now stop over in Paris for FREE on all flights to Europe, Middle East, India, or Africa. The Paris break comes at no additional charge regardless which direction you're flying, what class ticket you bought, or how much (or little) you paid. There's no maximum or minimum stay requirement (other than the one associated with the ticket itself) and you can even take advantage of the stopover option with tickets that have already been purchased.

There are no blackout dates or deadlines listed on the website, so it is unknown how long this promotion will be active.

** Please note that the date field for this VT Deal could not be left blank, so I entered "dummy dates"...
