I was checking out the comment section of this article and ran across this hint.Sounds good to me!

"On the subject of free/cheap museums…

I’ve found that foreign cultural centers (Czech, Dutch, etc.) usually have free or low cost exhibits. I find these exhibits more interesting than the art at most French museums. You can find the listing of the exhibits in the weekly issue of the Pariscope guide, available at newsstands.

Though I wouldn't go so far to say the exhibits are better than the French museums!!

Today the frugal traveler visits a vide=grenier , Vanves and St Ouen. We ran into a vide grenier a year or two ago in the same area as he visits, rue de Bretagne. That is also when we discovered Le Pamphlet. We keep checking t see if we will be lucky enough to run into another one. I bought a fine old engraving the last time.
