Will 200 euro be enough spending money for a weekend in Paris?

I am going to Paris for the weekend soon, I will be there for 2 days and I am planning to take 200 euro spending money for things like food, taxi, metro etc I am going to go to euro disney but apart from that I am going to have a budget trip there, do you think 200 euro will be enough?

1. yeaa i think that's enough if your going solo..but just incase, i would have 100 more because taxis there are reallyyyy expensive (use the metro!!!) food is expensive but if you buy from local stands then it's alright..there's this one reallyyy good restaurant that sells middle eastern food (shawarmas) in champs elysees, like in one of the side streets...try looking for it if u want (it's on the left side facing the arc de triomphe)
2. That will probably be enough as long as you budget well, it's really easy to get carried away in Paris :P, also you probably won't be able to do much shopping, If you do want to pick up an item or two you can go down the really cheap streets in Monmartre, it's a tad rough but you pick up some gun bargins. Apart from that just don't eat in expensive areas and use the metro, if you will be traveling a lot I suggest you get a full-day ticket, it will be cheaper than buying lots of little trips, plus if you make any mistakes and get the wrong line or what have you, you can easily and without cost get yourself back to where you need to be. Take some rebound money too, just in case you do go over budget, you don't want to be stuck. Have a great trip :)
3. Is the Euro Disney part already budgeted and the 200 euros is for what you will spend outside of the park? Than yes, 100 euros a day will be OK - a little more would be better. Just use common sense when eating meals and forget about taxis - they will be expensive. The Metro is fast, effecient and most of all - cheap.
4. Yes, no problem, unless you eat two times a day in restaurant.
5. make it double and you will be fine
6. maybe...if it's just you... Get a cheap hotel room, never use taxis and be careful about what you buy. I would take 100 or 50 more just in case something would happen and I would need to Improvise. Or some more for food, If you take what you have and use it sparingly, you MIGHT have a little extra for souvenirs... I would just bring some more for "elbow space" if I were you. Hope this helps, make your decision wisely, it could cost you a lot! Like jean marc l said, you would be safe if you bring more: "make it double and you will be fine"
7. Are you going by yourself? If you are thrifty then 200 Euro will be enough, but you will spend 50 euro in trinkets alone.
8. I don't understand if 200 Euros includes the trip to Eurodisneyland or not. If it includes that trip then definitely is not enough. If it doesn't include it and if you travel by metro instead of taxi and don't go to expensive restaurants it is enough.
9. Well if you do not go to expensive places and posh diso I think it coulb be ok, You can get a pass to visit museum ( it is less expensive than paying them one by one ) Have a nice trip Rob
