My best tip for budget travel: focus on finding accommodation in a great location near supermarkets. These locations are often where more of the locals live, allowing you to embrace the culture more, and are outside the busy tourist traps.
I would also suggest concentrating on finding cheaper accommodations in great locations and comparing a variety of options to ensure you are getting the best deal. Booking early and exploring the public transport available are also good ways to keep costs down.
Deciding to stay in a region where you can also travel to other places for day trips is a good option. A good example is Nice, as Monaco and Cannes are easily accessible for the day by budget-friendly buses. In this case, Nice-Riquier could be an option for cheaper accommodation in a less tourist-populated area.
Another way to save money is to choose accommodation where you can store food and cook.
Honestly, saving money on accommodation is one of the best ways to keep costs down while still having an enjoyable holiday.
