visiting France

My friend and I are visiting France this December and both of us have never been there or to Europe.  I was wondering how much money we should be bring?  We do not plan to go to every museum or anything that requires an enormous amount of money.  It is mostly just traveling to see as much as we can and just exist.  We will also be in Italy if that changes anything.  Any input would help.

Thanks,

Cole

If you are just coming over for a short, basic, cheap holiday, just use your normal cash card (Maestro) to withdraw a few day's cash to cover your immediate needs from French ATMs. 

I assume you've arranged accommodation and travel, so you're looking at daily expenses. 

Clearly it's more expensive in Paris and other tourist spots, but you can usually get lunch (plat de jour - two courses and coffee) for around 10 euros each.  Tasty filled baguettes can be bought from baker's shops for a few of euros.

Dinner in a decent restaurant will start at around 25 euros each.  A small black coffee in a bar will be around 1,50 euros and a beer about 2-2,50 euros.  You'll pay a little more to be served on the pavement - cheaper if you're sitting at the bar counter.

Museums and the like are not very expensive (unless it's the Louvre or the Palais deVersailles).

No doubt someone else will carry on from here....
