it was very interesting trip , i was with my friend. We were first in Portugal for a Charli XCX concert, and then we went to Paris for a couple of days. It was my first time there, and I really loved it. The city is absolutely beautiful, although I have to say the climate wasn’t really for me.

Very nice country , beautiful architecture and friendly people at some cities. I’d like to go again sometime alone , because I went with my sister, I just don’t know how safe I would feel there by myself

Luz-Saint-Sauveur, Solo travel
The Pyrenees has been one of my favorite places I’ve travelled to since I was a little girl. I travelled solo and stayed and worked at a family friends hotel in Luz Saint Saveur in 2024 for three months. There was plenty opportunity for beautiful hikes relaxation in nature and everyone smiles at you in the village and is so friendly. It is completely safe here as everyone leaves their doors unlocked and I have felt safe walking home alone at night time. They have many events in the summer like...

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, Solo travel
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,...

Lyon
Lyon is kind of safe, I personally never experienced any assault but I know women can experience things out there. I try to be with someone when I go out but really, just for adding safety BUT I'm definitely not going out alone at night

Strasbourg is cool when it isn't during Christmas or summer break. Otherwise, all the people can be scary but it's only if you stay in the famous area. If you walk to get back home be carful and go to lightning area.

100% safe city, no risk at all you can trust me I live there since I’m 3yo! In Bonnieux there is only locals and tourists in high season, It’s peaceful 100% of the time, you can go there alone by night or by day it will be safe anyway

Rennes is a globally safe city. I would just advise to avoid a few areas at night if you're a woman travelling alone, but I personally have never been in trouble or felt unsafe in the 3 years I've spent in the city

Overall Paris os a safe city for tourists. I have visited it multiple times and I’ve never had any issues. Obviously you need to be carefull with personal items because of pickpockets just like in every big city.

There are a lot of men in this exact area who try to talk to you in a very unpleasant way, which made me feel very unsafe as a women who travels alone. But how I experienced it, that’s only the case during the night but not during the day!
