Accommodation: $0
We stayed in a small little apartment just a few minute walk from the train and Eifel Tower. I wanted to be within walking distance of everything and this place ended up being a great little score! It certainly wasn't much, just a bed, but it was cheap, clean and within walking distance of everything! We paid for it on points, otherwise it would have cost us $129 a night.
Transportation: $ 140 We had a car exchange during our Belgium swap and decided to day trip to Paris which was only 3 hours away. I estimated it cost us about $60 in gas and we parked our car for the entire duration of our stay in an underground spot for $30 for all three days (we picked up a discount deal online!). For scooting around we grabbed a family metro pass for 2 days for $50.

Groceries: $50 (not included in budget) We packed a ton of food and groceries from our home to munch on. I did plan on going out for 1 dinner, but didnt want to have to sink any more money into dining out since its so expensive! We also had a small market next door that we used for any food items we needed ontop of that (bananas, croisants, milk, etc)
Louvre: $40 The Louvre is free for children and we only had to pay for Bryan and I. We spent all afternoon there and loved every minute of it. It was an incredible experience and I highly reccomend it. Go as early as you can to avoid the crowds. All of the other churches and attractions were free and we just soaked up every minute of the culture.
Dining Out: $183 We grabbed dinner out our first night and feasted on your typical french items. Foie gras, frog legs, snails.. It was an experiement trying all these things with the kids, we had a blast, but Paris sure aint cheap!
Total: $363
