Dirt cheap in Paris.

hey, i agree about the supermarkets. When i was in Paris (for some of the same reasons you were) they were a savior. pretty cheap food comparitably speaking but still food none the less. May i recommend a 2 or 3 water bottles. one for water of course another for a good strong drink and one more to chase it down.

im not really knowledgable on accomidations but a good place to really relax sit smoke and drink is jardin de luxembourg. wonderful.

have a good time

Hey, I say go and have fun! I spent just over a week in Paris last summer and I was surprised at how nice the French were to American students who destroyed their language. The trick is to TRY, learn some key phrases and you are golden. The Latin Quarter is a fun place to hang out, smoke and have a glass of wine. Good luck finding the love of your life...for the night.
