Paris is a lovely city. Not exactly only in the tourist spots! On my first visit, I didn’t realise Paris as it is, I was in a group and they were very worried about tourist spots. And then I didn’t find the then famous “city of love”. Now in my second time, I discovered the city of love, and I’m not talking about being with someone! Yes, in being with you and finding love in the delicacy of architecture, in the decoration of cute bistros or listening to musicians performing in the late afternoon of the Jardin des Tuileries or sitting down to eat a snack at Jardin du Luxembourg Paris brings art both in its museums but also to be contemplated on the street for everyone 🤍

Stay safe on the roads and on public transport. Avoid tourist scams and you’ll be fine. The French that I have met are kind and friendly. The food depends on the shop you visit, really. So choose wisely :)) Lots of activities to do, especially for those who love arts.
Posted: October 1, 2025Paris has too much too offer so you will never ran out of things to do. I went in summer, the weather was amazing but I didn’t feel the crowds. There are a lot of places/parks you can visit for free. Paris is quite dirty in some places (the smell of urine is something else) so don’t expect a fairytale.. it can be as cheap as you make it - I ate a lot in bakeries as the pastries are too good to be true.. A lot of places are closed in August as people go on holidays so be warned
Posted: September 8, 2025Experienced: July, 2024Paris can be a very beautiful place to visit if you know where to go. I recommend to do some research in advance and it will be fine. There’re a lot of great restaurants especially Asian and African food is great. And their pastries 🥐 are one of the best things ever. My family chose to go to Disneyland Paris and it was beautiful especially for the younger ones. I recommend it. Be careful at tourist areas. I don’t recommend buying anything from the people on the street. Most of them are trying to scam you and be prepared to spend a few bucks.

It depends a lot on the neighborhood Avoid the north of Paris at night if you are alone, especially the 18th, 19th and 20th. The south of Paris is safer, a lot of families in the 15th and a very calm neighborhood but less animations if you want to go out
