Bordeaux is safe during the daytime, but you have to be careful at night, especially in the old town. I was followed by four men to the station after sunset, which was just a short walk to the station.

Corsica is very safe. Local people are pretty distrustful towards foreigners. Nature is beautiful. There is a lot of space. Food Is ok. A lot of meet. There are a lot of hunters. Transport is not great.
Posted: October 8, 2024Experienced: December, 2014Easy to travel, safe at night, lots of vintage and an tique markets, beautiful city. Better to travel there during the fall since the city is so hot during the summer! The Botanical garden at Museum de Toulouse is a must.
Posted: October 7, 2024Experienced: September, 2024Great experience as a solo traveller. Will recommend highly. Felt safe and welcome right from the airport! I don’t speak French but not a barrier. Taxi drivers are polite, I used Uber. Make sure to go downstairs to parking if you called an Uber not the taxi rank!

It was my first time in Europe. I felt very safe. I would be out all day and night sightseeing, exploring, meeting people and just having the time of my life. I could not recommend Paris enough to people.
Posted: October 3, 2024I visited the city multiple times, it's nice but a little but too over hyped in my opinion and ofc it's expensive but didn't expect anything else from Paris. If you never visited Paris you should definitely do
Posted: September 27, 2024Experienced: April, 2024There where a few bad expriences in the night in Nimes but u loved the city, wouldnt go out alone at night or wouldnt stay at a big hostel. The people are really open and theres lots of music i loved that.
Posted: September 21, 2024Experienced: September, 2024I visited Paris by FlixBus from Germany. At the City I walked a lot. I felt safe all the time, even in the night. You can rent e-bikes if you want to drive home at night when the subway is closed. I stayed in a hostel, I recommend to book a flat in the Center next time to be more private and have less way back. I loved the food, there are a lot of bakery’s so you can enjoy a meal at the river. Negative: Paris is really expensive.
Posted: September 18, 2024Paris is not a safe city for women traveling alone, especially near popular tourist spots like the Eiffel Tower. There is a lot of harassment from strange men, people offering you things and practically forcing you to buy, as well as thefts, etc. Regarding itineraries, besides the classic places like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, I highly recommend the Palace of Versailles.

Paris is known not to be safe. Be careful at night. There are various neighbourhoods that should be avoided. You have to be careful with random people approaching you on the street. Pickpocketing is very common. Sexual violence is very common ,on the streets and in the transport.

My town IS small and quiet. The city center IS safe except by night the train station area. You have to be carefull. Their IS not a lot of bus so it's better to cycle. I'll give to you my bike. Périgueux in général IS nice and green along thé river. Enjoy!
