Free concerts in Paris!

Being a starving (luckily not literally) student here in Paris, one must find all possibly ways to cut down costs. For the mere price of a bus ticket, you have access to many great concerts all around the underbelly of the city! In Vancouver we have buskers on the street, which is great, but you only listen for a second or two as you pass by. Paris' system of public entertainment is much more intelligent. Not only are there buskers at the metro stations, there are often buskers on the metro itself! You may here the soulful vocals of an old gypsy woman, or be blessed with musical merits of the accordion and tambourine. You are trapped with these melodies your entire ride if you are lucky.

Another randomly musical venue in Paris is public underground parking where they play classical music.
