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.

I was there for an Erasmus. If you are under 26 please take advantage of their free museums, they have sooo many. Nothing occured to me, still due to how populated Paris is, I would recommend being cautious, still no exaggeration is needed.

I’ve been to Paris six times, and it has always felt like such a special city to me. It’s a place I truly connect with in a different way every time I visit. I’m going again this November and I’m really excited for it

One of my favorite cities for its walkability, public transport, parks, art and multiculturalism. So many free events and music! It’s a university city so there’s a liveliness to it and people are friendly.

I studied in Rennes for a year, I love socialising but since I couldn't speak a lot of French, there was always a language barrier. It's a really friendly and affordable student city. I made friends from Central America, Canada, Germany, Taiwan!

Chaville
Chaville is pretty peaceful, people are globally well off, there isn't too much deal there. It's quite pretty, a bit steep because it's inside a valley. There's also a lot of public transportation nearby! It's pretty great.

Paris is generally safe. At night, you can go out in small Paris. But the bigger Paris, where there is the suburbs can be less safe. Around the eiffel tower is great or the richer areas. People are generally nice but sometimes the homeless people can be a bit scary.
Posted: August 2, 2026Antibes
Antibes is a really pretty city but you must remain vigilant!! there are some places where you should not stay, mostly at night (the lighthouse zone is okay but in group only!! it’s a place well known from dealers and all..)
Posted: August 1, 2026Rennes
Rennes is in my opinion a pretty safe city as long as you don’t wander alone at night around places where people get wasted like Place Saint Anne or even the train station for exemple. I walk alone at night avoiding these places and never encountered any problem. They’re many people asking for money, some might be extremely rude if you say no but it mainly happens during daytime.

Toulouse is a pretty safe town. My college is in the "less secure area" of the city and I've never felt insecure there. There are people outside almost all night during weekends so it's not dangerous but during the week I avoid staying alone at night.

It is quite safe but like in most bug european cities, don't make eye contact with men. Ever. I also love to wear whatever i want but I unfortunately stick to trousers, large longer shorts or practical clothes. But men will still stare anyway. Nothing "bad" ever happened to me but my boyfriend got jumped on in broad daylight at the Guillautiere metro station.
