Looking to visit Paris as a tourist?
Keen to spend your money on food, drinks and experiences rather than accommodation?
How about living like a Parisian for a week or two, sleeping in the suburbs and commuting to the various attractions each day?
If you've tried to book a hotel room near the Champs Elysees, the Marais, or on the rue de Rivoli, you will be aware just how expensive even a small hotel room can cost in the French capital, even post Olympics.
So how about staying further out - and having more to spend?
Friends of mine have just launched an affordable option to hotels on Airbnb and Booking.com - a studio on the eastern edge of Paris, adjacent to where they live.
You'll find it if you search for "Paris with added Zen".
It is described as a comfy spot for up to up to four people with a pricing algorithm that makes its rates competitive.
The studio is located in Bry-sur-Marne, which is 13 km from Paris-Gare-de-Lyon. It comes with garden views (I'm told you can spot the Eiffel Tower in the distance), free wifi and free private parking should you need it.
The studio is 14km from Opéra Bastille and 15km from Notre Dame Cathedral.
The air-conditioned, non-smoking apartment consists of one bedroom, a living room, a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave and a coffee machine,
The bathroom comes with a shower and bathrobes and towels and bed linen are included.
There are two train lines - RER E and A - within walking distance as well as the recently extended metro 11.
I'm told it takes 20-25 minutes to the city, with one change.

If you get your dates right you’ll pay under 100 bucks Australian a night.
