Paris was an extraordinary experience. People are so nice and very easy to connect with. There is always something interesting going on in the city but even just walking around is super interesting. I loved the architecture and had long walks around the Seine. Will cherish this place forever. Thank you Paris!

This was my first international trip ever and my first solo trip. Paris will always hold a special place in my heart. 💕 There’s more I wish I had the time to do and see and I will definitely be going back to France in the future.

Lyon was a great start of my first time in Europe and my first solo travel. The city itself is very beautiful with amazing architecture. People I met were quite friendly, had only one unfriendly experience in Starbucks. I didn’t really discover any special food. Visited a nice cafe with late breakfasts and one cafe with amazing homemade ice cream. Got there on Bastille day(didn’t know it was on the 14th) but found myself at the annual Fire Fighters Party! Had lots of fun!

I’ve met Laura via this app. So we met in Paris as well and enjoyed it. I also had some solo time too which was a whole other experience considering not knowing the language but in the end I can safely say that it was a wonderful and successful trip

I watched him lean into the mic, tattoos catching the red light, voice cutting straight through all that noise and landing somewhere personal, like he was singing to one person instead of a hundred thousand. That’s the strange magic of it. A stadium that size, and somehow it still feels intimate. Then came Mic Drop, and Normal, and the whole crowd started chanting their names, one after another, thousands of voices calling out to seven people who probably couldn’t hear any single one of us,...

I feel safe walking around the city at night to my airbnb place. It’s always better to be attentive but nothing happened to me luckily and street is kinda empty. People are super nice, helpful, and willing to speak English! I had a good time there apart from the food poisoning from beef tartare😮💨

Full of people, there’s a half-hour line even to go to the bathroom. The churches are beautiful, especially the Saint Chapelle or San Denis. The metro is very easy to use. However, it’s extremely expensive— a bottle of water costs 6€.

I had a great time with my friends! Paris is a living cliché and I love romcoms so being there I felt like the maincharacter. Although for my next trip I would like to travel places where there is more of the real taste of the country. Because paris is very tourist friendly when it comes to culture.

Grenoble
During the day the most part of the city is quite safe, even for solo ladies travelers, but at night, some areas should be avoid. Fortunately I was born in Grenoble and nothing never happened to me, but I am also cautious for example not walking alone in the streets (even in the city center). Better if you move by bike for example.

Need to be careful in the Nation area especially when you go to Montreuil. Also never respond if someone ask you to sign a petition for handicap persons that’s a scam. And never walk alone in Barbès Rochechoir

As a french citizen, I mostly avoids staying in train station like Gare du Nord or Gare de l’Est. I also avoid staying in the north of Paris, especially the 19th and 20th arrondissement. Even though I spent a lot of time in the 18th with my family as a child, I recommend avoiding the area during the night, you may find a lot of adult shops, clubs, men wanting your attention 👀, as well as some pick pocketing around Montmartre (touristic area). But even if the neighborhood look a bit fishy, the...

The city is globally safe in areas not mentionned. The areas around Porte de are usually a bit dodgy. The city center is really safe, day and night. The north is usally a bit creepy too.
Posted: August 17, 2026Paris
If you watch your stuff, beware of pickpockets and some scammers on the street (for example people at Montmartre asking for your autograph or tying a bracelet around your wrist), it’s very safe. Just avoid station areas at night when travelling solo.

Courbevoie is a really safe and peaceful area. It’s the kind of place where you can feel comfortable walking around even late at night, and the streets are generally calm and quiet. I’ve always found it to have a very reassuring atmosphere, while still being close to Paris and well connected.
