Museums and monuments
can also prove a big wallet-eroder. Reduced admission is often
available for those over 60 and under 18 (for which you'll need your
passport as proof of age) and for students under 26 (for which
you'll need an International Student Identity Card, or ISIC).
Many museums and monuments are free for children under 12, and nearly
always for kids under 4.
Under-26s can also get a free youth card
, or Carte Jeune , available in France from youth travel agencies
like USIT and from main tourist offices (120F/?18.30; valid for a year),
which entitles you to reductions in France and throughout Europe.
