Free Paris

For the closing afternoon of our Live & Invest in France Conference this week, we invited our daughter, Kaitlin Yent, 21, who lived in Paris for four years and graduated high school here, to introduce our assembled group to some of the fun things you can do in this city at no cost.

Living here as students, Kaitlin and her friends were motivated to seek out every opportunity to make the most of their Paris experience…while operating on student budgets.

As Kaitlin explained to our group Friday afternoon, she and her friends learned that you don’t have to spend a lot to enjoy a big experience in the City of Light. Sometimes, you don’t even have to spend a little. Some of the best experiences this city has to offer come absolutely free.

For example, Kaitlin explained…

  1. One day every month and every Bastille Day, most all museums in Paris offer free admission. Every Wednesday, for example, La Maison Européenne de la Photographie (5-7 rue de Fourcy, 75004 Paris; tel. 01-44-78-75-00) and La Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson (2 impasse Lebouis, 75014 Paris; tel. 01-56-80-27-00) offer free evening admission.

 

  1. Every Thursday, galleries in the 3rd, 7th, and 8th arrondissements offer vernissages–that is, free openings with wine. Often, you can often meet the artist or the gallery owner.

 

  1. Right now through the end of August, Paris Plage, the beach built from sand trucked to Paris and deposited along the bank of the Seine in the 4th arrondissement, offers free access to riverside fun, live music, games, even free water aerobics (not in the river but in the public swimming pool that’s part of the annual Paris Plage venue).

 

  1. You can take a free guided tour of the Fragonard Perfume Museum (Le Musee du Parfum), housed in a Napolean III townhouse.

 

  1. Galleries Lafayette, one of this city’s grands magasins, offers free fashion shows every Friday at 3 p.m.

 

  1. Several restaurants in the city provide complimentary plates of food when you can order cocktails. In the 11th arrondissement, La Cordonnerie (142 rue Saint-Denis, 75002 Paris; tel. 01-40-28-95-35) offers couscous with your drinks every Thursday and Saturday starting at 8.30 p.m. In the 10th arrondissement, the Tribal CafĂ© (3 cour des Petites-Ecuries, 75010 Paris; tel. 01-47-70-57- 08), one of the pioneers of this “formule,” serves fried mussels every Wednesday and Thursday from 9 p.m. on, and couscous Friday and Saturday nights.
  1. Meantime, wineries around the city offer free tastings in the hopes that you will be tempted to buy bottles of your favorites to take home with you. The prestigious Caves Taillevent (199 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris; tel. 01-45-61- 14-09) gives tastings every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; La Grande Epicerie du Bon Marché, (38 rue de Sèvres, 75007 Paris; tel. 01-44-39-81-00) does tastings Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and almost every day during the annual wine festivals; and Petits Bouchons (105 rue Cambronne, 75015 Paris; tel. 01-47-34-89-31) organizes tastings practically every weekend, often with the wine makers themselves.

Taking The First Steps And Making Your Retire Overseas Dreams Reality

Kathleen Peddicord

Kathleen Peddicord has covered the live, retire, and do business overseas beat for more than 30 years and is considered the world's foremost authority on these subjects. She has traveled to more than 75 countries, invested in real estate in 21, established businesses in 7, renovated historic properties in 6, and educated her children in 4.

Kathleen has moved children, staff, enterprises, household goods, and pets across three continents, from the East Coast of the United States to Waterford, Ireland... then to Paris, France... next to Panama City, where she has based her Live and Invest Overseas business. Most recently, Kathleen and her husband Lief Simon are dividing their time between Panama and Paris.

Kathleen was a partner with Agora Publishing’s International Living group for 23 years. In that capacity, she opened her first office overseas, in Waterford, Ireland, where she managed a staff of up to 30 employees for more than 10 years. Kathleen also opened, staffed, and operated International Living publishing and real estate marketing offices in Panama City, Panama; Granada, Nicaragua; Roatan, Honduras; San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; Quito, Ecuador; and Paris, France.

Kathleen moved on from her role with Agora in 2007 and launched her Live and Invest Overseas group in 2008. In the years since, she has built Live and Invest Overseas into a successful, recognized, and respected multi-million-dollar business that employs a staff of 35 in Panama City and dozens of writers and other resources around the world.

Kathleen has been quoted by The New York Times, Money magazine, MSNBC, Yahoo Finance, the AARP, and beyond. She has appeared often on radio and television (including Bloomberg and CNBC) and speaks regularly on topics to do with living, retiring, investing, and doing business around the world.

In addition to her own daily e-letter, the Overseas Opportunity Letter, with a circulation of more than 300,000 readers, Kathleen writes regularly for U.S. News & World Report and Forbes.

Her newest book, "How to Retire Overseas: Everything You Need to Know to Live Well (for Less) Abroad," published by Penguin Random House, is the culmination of decades of personal experience living and investing around the world.
