Many hotel deals in Paris don't include breakfast, but breakfast may be available at extra cost. The charge is often extortionate and the quality poor, so why not breakfast with the locals at a patisserie? It's a perfect excuse to try the delicious croissants and pastries when they're freshly baked, and could save you a fortune. Don't be afraid to try one of the patisserie chains, as the food is still delicious and set price menus with pastries and hot drinks are often available (saving even more money).
