Paris is outrageously expensive for anyone earning dollars. But there are quite a few things in the city that can be done for free. Previously, I shared 5 free things in Paris, and here are 5 more:
Le Showcase
A hot new nightspot with live jazz and rock is in the unexpected location under the stunning Alexandre III bridge. President Sarkozy has reportedly already had a few parties there. Admission is free before midnight.

Rock and electro concerts at La Flèche d’Or
This bar, restaurant, and club is located in an old train station with windows overlooking the now-defunct tracks. One of the first venues to open in the Ménilmontant neighborhood, it still may be the coolest. Free admission from 8:00pm to 2:00am.
