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€.

It is a very safe city with several police patrols, two police stations in the busy areas, and plenty of cameras. The residents are mostly elderly couples and families, so it is calm and clean. There are no 'dangerous' places except maybe around the train station at night because there are the bars (police officers are often stationed there).

Lyon is a city in which you feel most of the Time safe. It is a big city with a lot of students, a night Life, so There are always people you can rely on in case of insecurity in the subway or in the streets. The neighborhood La Guillotiere is a bit unsafe however, so I recommend not to go there by night.

The center of the city is very safe. You just have to stay out of the different "Cités". It's like the Cité Picasso, and other places. Apart from.that, it's safe. The safest areas are near the center and around the university

I never had any problem since 2 years, it's quite safe and calm, unless it's the Christmas time, it will be so crowded and expensive also, but it's really safe in general, there is a lot to do here too

About me
Salut, Coucou, Hello, as you wish, I love them all ☺️ I'm Mathilde, Mathou for my close ones. I live in Bordeaux, where I work as a psychologist with people who live with disabilities. I love cinema (without "male gaze"), walking, taking photos, watching videos from politic specialists, activists, talking about my job, learning, watching asmr videos, speaking english, music, writing, singing, hearing people talking about their passions, swimming, playing tennis, make people laugh, postcards, magnets and coasters.... And roller coasters. I've got anxiety but I work on it, the few first minutes being inside a group of unknown people are difficult for me but I love it ! I'm vegetarian, which means I only eat grass. I don't have à perfect english but I would love to improve it with you, in Bordeaux (my beloved city) or anywhere else ! I can't wait to travel and meet people from other horizons ☺️ 👋
