# Free Paris, on foot and otherwise

> Free Things To Do In Paris catalogues free and pay-what-you-want activities across the city: 67 free walking tours in six categories, plus permanently-free museums, churches, parks and neighbourhoods that cost nothing to walk, including Montmartre, the Latin Quarter, Le Marais and Saint-Germain. The site is not a tour operator or booking platform. It earns referral fees when readers book through its links, at no extra cost to the reader.

Walking tours here are pay what you want: no fixed price, you tip the guide. Museums, churches and parks listed are free outright.

Many Paris museums are free year-round and the oldest streets cost nothing to walk. Free tours run on tips: book, join, pay what you choose.
