Grenoble was very nice. I got the chance to be hosted by a local for the weekend and she showed me around her favourite places. I loved the adventure of discovering a new city and especially through the eyes of someone who lives there and loves her city.

Charleville-Mezieres, Couple travel
I KEEP dreaming myself back to Charleville Mezieres and I would love to return to this city in the summer. The nature surrounding it is beautiful, and is a very good alternative to Reimes or Paris. (And closer if you’re travelling from the east!) It is truly a hidden pearl. The architecture was STUNNING and you truly felt like you had gotten thrown into a cinematic coming-of-age-movie. We didn’t do much more than walking around and taking in the city. The city felt slow, but we also visited in the month of February and it was OH so cold. Charleville-Mezieres is actually France’s coldest city! So, for the hot summer months, I can only imagine how amazing it must be in this city by the river Meuse. We did not eat out, but we took a drink (outside!) in what then felt like a warming spring sun, alongside the locals who had been waiting for the sun’s first warming rays all winter. Now looking back, it can’t have been more than 5° outside in the sun.

It’s a very quiet and safe city, people are very open and welcoming to strangers, there is a lot of different restaurants to dry different cuisines. You can also meet people from different nationalities and explore the unique architecture of the coty

Paris, Solo travel
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 🤍

I've lived in this city for about two years now and it's alright, it mostly depends on the neighborhoods (avoid Victoire, Gare saint Jean at night) but all in all it's rather okay and safe but I'd suggest to pay attention to your surroundings just in case

Paris is quite a safe city for women, I’ve lived there 10+ years as 30 years old woman who goes out at night. Usually you can walk pretty much everywhere without being bothered, make sure to walk fast, looking straight forward, and not answering anyone if you feel unsafe. Parisian women are known for being arrogant ans rude, be like them, it makes you safe. Tourists are targeted by pickpocket especially around the main attraction. Be smart with your phone, money and valuables. This is the main risk for visitors. It’s fine to take your phone out in the street or the metro but be careful of your surroundings and avoid really crowded places. In the metro be careful with anyone who acts weird : tries to stay super close to you, pretends no to see you and blocks your way, bumps into you in a repeated way etc

To stay safe, never tell strangers where you're sleeping. Always be careful and don't give out your phone number; instead, use an Instagram account or similar. Always research your routes and transportation options thoroughly. Always take public transport where there are other people, never empty carriages. Be careful on the streets at night. If you're in a dangerous situation, call 17 or 112. Pretend your friend is arriving or waiting for you, or if not, pretend you're on the phone.

I would say Paris is quite safe when you stay inside of the city itself (intra muros), Ive never had any problem, but I would say it is of course less safe when you’re a woman and if you walk alone at night, as in any other place really
