First, pinch yourself, because you are not dreaming.

Second, take full advantage of all the city has to offer, which is a lot more than macarons. After all, there are more than 350 cheeses and plenty of locations you are going to have to get through.

Students in Paris get the best deals – some of the best museums and attractions (for a reduced price or for free), kind and friendly people, easy transportation, and remarkable cuisine. French meals are about enjoying the food, but also about a social aspect, the sharing of the moment with family and friends so it is no surprise that it is a part of the UNESCO Intangible World Heritage. In the city of light and love, food is very often in the spotlight.
