Paris is not nearly one of the most expensive cities. For a huge cultural capital it’s really quite affordable. Try Zurich or San Francisco or Singapore.
Zurich, jesus. May as well just hand someone a 100 euro note when you walk out of your door and be done with it, even if you don’t plan on spending anything.
20 dollars is about 16 CHF, that’s an extremely normal price for a cocktail. I live just outside Zurich, I’m not exaggerating for comedic or dramatic effect. In a fancy bar in district 1 or niedersorf it’s more like 25 CHF or 30 USD.
Just a random selection of a few bars in downtown:

I was recently in Paris too. Apparently it works on their machine as well.

I mean I’ve been to Zurich and Iceland pretty recently and they were hella expensive but still likely less than $20 for a bloody Mary.
