Expensive Paris by john&eduarda
..we live close to Dublin, one of the most beautiful but expensive cities in the world. However, Paris is considerably more expensive - to the point of bring ridiculous. W paid EUR 9.35 for a small pot of tea and a plain crossaint in a basic cafe in Montparnasse near Rue Daulphine. This is easily the most expesive pot of tea we have had in our lives! For what? Bruised at this experience we ate and drank very little in Paris for the remainder of our trip - another three days. However, our experience was only slightly above average. We priced tea all around Paris at between EUR 3 and EUR 4 in several places - including at the train station in Montparnasse. This represents appalling value for money - in Dublin a cup of tea in a chique cafe costs about EUR 2.
