Paris on the cheap: a local’s guide to flea markets, baguettes and funky bistros

From art nouveau cafes to the resting place of French kings, our man in Paris knows where to find affordable fun

My favourite Parisian food street is found on the eclectic, electric Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis, offering both cheap and cheerful classic French dishes and a rainbow choice of ethnic cuisines: Turk, Kurd, Indian, Senegalese, Lebanese.
