I love visiting Paris - and fun fact, I was actually born there. My mum grew up in Paris, so we still have a flat right on the outskirts of the city centre, in Courbevoie. And, as mentioned in the title, I lived there for a month to do a fashion course at ESMOD, so I learned quite a few things about the city during that time.
I have recently just come back from visiting Paris, and it was lovely to see the city again after 5 years - I can’t believe that summer course was that long ago! Anyway, this recent trip sparked the idea to create a wee travel guide and share my ‘insider’ knowledge with you for your next trip to visit the City of Lights.
Needless to say, there was a lot to cover so this post is quite long. I just wanted you to have all the information you could possibly need. If you have any other questions or tips to share, comment them down below. With all that being said, I hope this is useful and I hope you have a fantastic time in Paris, whenever you go!
Scammers and pickpockets
Let’s get the negative stuff out of the way first. Paris is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, which sadly also means that there are more people to scam. As with many large, touristy cities, you will see scammers all over the city, though mostly at popular attractions such as the Sacré-Cœur or the Eiffel Tower.
They might ask you to sign a paper/petition, offer you a bracelet, sell you alcoholic beverages, or sell trinkets (often mini Eiffel Towers). They can be insistent and pester you, even if you say no. Be sure to stand your ground and just keep walking. They will also get children involved in their schemes, so don’t be tempted to sign or accept something just because a child is offering it.
There are also a lot of pickpockets in Paris, so make sure you keep all your valuables safe, especially in the metro. Don’t keep anything in your pockets, especially your back or jacket ones, unless they can be closed. And please don’t leave your phone on the table when you’re sitting in a restaurant or cafe, especially outside. Just keep an eye on your surroundings and your things and you’ll be absolutely fine!
Travel
Zones
As most large cities are, Paris is divided into zones. The innermost and central zone, Zone 1, is Paris intra muros (‘within the walls’). This is the city of Paris you see in movies, made up of its 20 arrondissements and doesn’t include the city’s many suburbs. Zones 2 and 3 cover the suburbs right on the outskirts of the city and are serviced by the metro. There are 5 zones in total, and Zone 5 houses Versailles, Disneyland and the two main airports, Orly and Charles de Gaulle (CDG). Below is a map to help you visualise it all.
Travel Pass
Taking public transportation is the easiest way to get around the city. The public transport network is really good, but it can be very expensive if you don’t know what tickets to get.
Your best bet, no matter how long you are staying in Paris, is to get a Pass Navigo Découverte - this wee plastic card only costs 5€ and will allow limitless travel in all the zones of the city. Depending on the length of your stay, you can then get a weekly or monthly ticket. A weekly ticket for all 5 zones (‘toutes zones’) costs 22,80€ - so that’s less than 30€ in total for a week of unlimited travel on any public transport in the entire region. Bargain if you ask me. Just go to one of the manned info/ticket counters to buy one.
This is a personal card, so you will need a passport photo for this. The card comes in a wee set which you put together yourself, and that you add your name and photo to. It’s not complicated to put together and contains instructions, just please make sure you bring a passport photo. If you don’t have your name and photo on it, and they check your ticket, you could be fined 50€.
The only other thing you have to be aware of is that weekly tickets are valid Monday-Sunday and monthly tickets from the 1st to the last day of the month. Unlike other places, the tickets aren’t valid for a week or month from the day you buy them. So just keep that in mind when booking your flights. We got caught out because we flew out on a Monday, so we had to spend an extra 15€ on tickets to go to the airport.
Top tips: buy your Pass Navigo Decouverte ‘toutes zones’ at the airport and try to have both your flights within the same calendar week/month.
Modes of transport
There are 5 main modes of transport in Paris (here is a comprehensive and interactive map):
Métro: this is the underground network. There are 14 main lines, covering Zones 1-3. Lines 3 and 7 also have secondary lines, 3bis and 7bis, which are much smaller and connect different stations, so make sure you get the right one.
RER: these trains cover the city and its suburbs, covering Zones 1-5. There are 5 lines, A, B, C, D and E.
Tram: unlike many cities, the tram in Paris does not run in the city centre, but in the suburbs. There are 11 lines, though there is no T10, but instead T3a and T3b. These both travel out of ‘Porte de Vincennes’, but go in opposite directions so make sure you get the right direction.
Bus: the bus network is very large (with over 70 lines numbered from 20 to 350) and covers Zones 1-5. There is also a night bus which runs between 00:30-05:30 and has over 30 lines (N21 to N154).
Transilien: these trains go the furthest and cover the city as well as the entire region of Île-de-France (beyond Zone 5). It contains 8 lines, H, J, K, L, N, P, R and U.
Top tips: some lines have more than one end station, which are serviced alternatingly, so always check where exactly you are going. Most, if not all, stations have more than one exit which can be quite far apart. The exits are all numbered and named, so try to figure out what exit is closest to your destination. Use Google Maps for directions - they tell you exactly what train(s) to get and sometimes even mention the station exit you should take.
Airports
There are two main airports you want to aim for when travelling to Paris: Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly. There is a third airport, Paris Beauvais - but don’t let the name fool you. This airport is very far out of Paris and you’d have to take a special shuttle bus for over an hour to get there. It’s mostly used by budget airlines such as Ryanair. You’re much better off flying into CDG or Orly. EasyJet flies into both these airports so you can still find cheaper flights without needing to use Paris Beauvais.
As mentioned, both CDG and Orly are within Zone 5, meaning you can use your Pass Navigo to travel to and from them.
Travel to and from CDG: take the RER B. The airport is the last station on the line, though keep in mind that terminals 1 and 3 are the second-to-last station.
Travel to and from Orly: there are different ways to get to Orly, though the simplest would be using the OrlyBus to and from ‘Denfert-Rochereau’, serviced by the RER B. If you are using the Pass Navigo, you CANNOT use the OrlyVal - you would have to buy a different ticket for that. So make sure to get the OrlyBus instead. And again, the terminals have different stops.
Top tips: fly into Orly or CDG, and avoid the Orlyval for travelling to and from Orly. Please note that people will sometimes refer to CDG as Roissy airport - Roissy is the town where the airport is located.
Arrondissements
Paris’ city centre is divided up into different main zones called ‘arrondissements’ (arr.), which are made up of different neighbourhoods. There are 20 arrondissements in total, with the 1st arrondissement being in the middle of the city and the rest spanning out in ascending order in the shape of a snail. Here are some of my favourite areas to visit.
Quartier latin
The ‘quartier latin’ or Latin quarter, which is located in parts of the 5th and 6th arrondissements is very lively with many restaurants, cafes and bars. It’s called the Latin quarter because of the nearby Sorbonne University. During the Middle Ages, students who used to live and hang out in that area studied in Latin.
Today, it is still very much filled with students from the Sorbonne University and other schools. The Pantheon and surrounding area are stunning and definitely worth a visit. There are great places to eat and drink all around as well (more on that later on). The famous independent bookshop, Shakespeare and Company, is also located in this area. This English bookshop is very popular with tourists, so there might be a long queue to get in.
7th arrondissement
This is one of the wealthiest and nicest parts of Paris. Home to the Eiffel Tower, ‘Musée d’Orsay’, ‘Hôtel des Invalides’ and many more landmarks, it also has wonderful architecture. I highly recommend walking around and looking at the apartment buildings.
Montmartre
This lovely neighbourhood, located in the 18th arrondissement, used to be the home of many artists, including Picasso and Dalí. The architecture and feel is very different from the rest of the city, so I highly recommend wandering the small streets of this neighbourhood. It will feel like you were teleported to a quaint village in Southern France.
City centre
At the heart of the city, centred around the Louvre, you will find beautiful places to visit and walk around. Parts of the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th arrondissements, particularly around the Seine River, are filled with iconic sites. From the ‘Jardin des Tuileries’ to the Notre Dame and ‘Pont Alexandre III’, you need to have a wander in this area.
Museums
General top tips:
Check the museum’s website and book your tickets in advance where you can as they are often slightly cheaper and can help you skip the queue.
EU residents under the age of 26 can visit many museums and galleries for free (just double-check their website first and bring your passport/ID) and students get discounts too, so be sure to bring your student ID with you!
Your bags will probably get checked so try to carry as little as you can with you to make your life easier.
You can often take photos in the museum, just make sure your flash is turned off (double-check this at each museum though).
Musée d’Orsay
The Musée d’Orsay is a fine arts museum with beautiful architecture. The building, which used to be a train station, now hosts a variety of sculptures and paintings, including a large impressionist exhibition with some very famous pieces - including some from Van Gogh, Monet and Renoir. The large clocks offer a fantastic view of Paris and a very cool photo background.
Suggested visit time: 3-4 hours. We only spent about an hour and half there and it was enough time to go through the central gallery and the impressionist exhibition so you could probably go around most of the museum in a couple of hours.
Le Louvre
If you are in Paris, I strongly encourage you to visit the Louvre. It is, however, a gigantic museum, so make sure you plan out what you want to see before you go. You could honestly spend an entire week just visiting the Louvre and you wouldn’t have enough time to see all the galleries and exhibitions - there are more than 35,000 items on show! The most famous artwork you will find there is Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa - and yes, her eyes do follow you around as you walk across the room.
There are plenty of maps on their website and on-site, so make sure you grab one. No matter how great you think your sense of direction is, take the map - you WILL need it to navigate the multiple floors, rooms and wings of the building.
They also offer combo tickets so you can combine your visit with another attraction. From Versailles to the Picasso or Orsay museums, these tickets are great money-savers. Bear in mind that the museum is closed on Tuesdays, though.
Top tips: book your tickets online well in advance (they sell out fast) to skip the queue. Travel by using metro 1 or 7 to "Palais-Royal / Musée du Louvre" and follow signs for the museum (you should be able to enter the museum directly without having to go outside). Plan what you want to see before going and take a map when you are there.
Suggested visit time: minimum half a day, if you want to be able to see a couple of galleries and exhibitions. If you’ve got more time and love museums, 1-3 days should probably do it.
Versailles
Versailles is a lovely town in the wider suburbs of Paris. It’s quite prestigious and wealthy. The student accommodation there is honestly fancier than any I’ve ever seen. It’s definitely worth having a wander around. But the main attraction, of course, is the ‘Château de Versailles’ - or the Palace of Versailles.
In the 17th century, the then-king of France, Louis XIV, decided to expand on his father’s hunting-lodge-turned-château and Versailles became the main royal residence. Building began in 1661 and continued over several decades, into the new century. While the palace is huge and beautiful, the gardens are highly impressive too, with countless statues, ponds, fountains and more.
During the summer months, special shows are hosted in the gardens at nighttime. These are called ‘Grandes Eaux Nocturnes’, or Fountain Night Shows, and are NOT included in a normal entry ticket - if you’re eligible for free access, you will not be able to use it for the night shows, though you can get a reduced rate.
Top tips: same as with the Louvre, tickets tend to sell out fast, so make sure you buy them in advance. If you want access to the whole estate, get a ‘Passeport’ ticket (with or without the night show option) - please note that the gardens do not have free access for under-26s like the castle does, but you can still get a reduced fare. Also, when you have entered the gardens, you can leave the grounds and come back once, meaning you can pop out for lunch or something and then finish your visit later. You can easily travel to Versailles using your Pass Navigo and by taking the L train from ‘Gare St Lazare’ to ‘Versailles Rive Droite’ - the journey takes about 40 minutes and is very comfortable and scenic - though there are also other (sometimes faster) ways to get there, depending on where you are, so check Google Maps.
Suggested visit time: seeing as Versailles is further away and has a lot to offer, I recommend making this visit a day trip and visiting both the castle and the gardens.
Château de Vincennes
Unlike everything else in this post, I haven’t actually visited the ‘Château de Vincennes’ as it was on the opposite side of where we stayed and I wasn’t really aware of it. Turns out this was where the French monarchs lived for centuries. Judging from the photos I have seen online, this castle and its grounds are very impressive and stunning - especially the Sainte-Chapelle!
Attractions
Notre-Dame de Paris (4th arr.)
You may remember the fire that destroyed parts of this famous monument a few years back. Unfortunately, at the time of writing this post, repairs are still ongoing and the Notre-Dame de Paris is not open to visitors. It is iconic, though, and still looks very impressive. You can get a great view of the building when doing one of the boat tours (more on that later).
L’Arc de Triomphe (8th arr.)
The ‘Arc de Triomphe’ can be seen in pretty much every single movie that is set in Paris and is one of the city’s most well-known monuments. It’s set at the heart of the ‘Place Charles de Gaulle’, which used to be known as ‘Place de l’Étoile’ because of the multiple avenues that span out from the roundabout around the monument - one of which is the Champs-Élysées. At the bottom of the monument, an unknown French soldier was buried about 100 years ago in memory of all those who died in the World Wars. The Eternal Flame constantly burns there in remembrance.
The Arc de Triomphe is ginormous. I cannot express just how much larger it is in person than it looks in photos or in movies. The roundabout around it is also worth seeing, and is a perfect example of, as I like to call it, chaotic organisation. There are no lights or lanes, people just drive on it, though I highly discourage anyone who isn’t from Paris to drive on it unless you want anxiety. There is a viewing platform at the top of the monument which you can buy tickets for.
Top tip: access the ‘Arc de Triomphe’ through the metro network, there’s no way for you to cross the roundabout.
Place de la Concorde (8th arr.)
The ‘Place de la Concorde’ is located at the bottom of the Champs-Élysées, and you can see the Arc de Triomphe in the distance when you’re there. There’s no need for me to mention that the Champs-Élysées avenue is pretty well known (and I’m sure you know the song, too). But it’s very touristy and not really worth the hype, in my opinion. It’s impressive to see because it’s a famous large avenue that appears on TV for national holiday celebrations, but looking down the avenue from the Arc de Triomphe or Place de la Concorde is just as - if not more - impressive than walking on it.
La Tour Eiffel (17th arr.)
Do I even need to introduce this monument? If you haven’t heard of the Eiffel Tower, I don’t really know what to say other than you should probably brush up on your geography. This impressive monument was built for the World Fair in 1889 and was only meant to be there temporarily. I think I’m not the only one who is glad they kept it up. No matter how often you’ve seen it, it’s always got something magical to it - especially when it lights up and sparkles every hour on the hour at night.
It’s worth walking around the ‘Champ de Mars’, the green space around it. And it’s also worth going up the Eiffel Tower. There are two ways to go up, using the lift or the stairs. I highly recommend the stairs. The 1st and 2nd floors aren’t that high up - the biggest distance is between the 2nd and 3rd floors, and the stairs are not actually as bad as you think they would be. They’re also outdoors so there’s plenty of fresh air to keep you cool as you climb up. The wait to take the stairs up is, pretty much, non-existent, whereas you could be queuing up for hours to get the lift.
There’s some very fine dining up on the Eiffel Tower, though they also sell sorbets and other sweet treats for those of us that don’t have hundreds of euros to spend on dinner. I have never been up to the very top, though I have been up to the 2nd floor twice. And I think that’s more than enough. Most people I know have only been to the 2nd floor, and you get a really nice view already. There’s only one elevator to get to the top floor, so you often have to wait your turn for a long time. But if you do go all the way up, leave a comment below to say whether it was worth the hype or not!
Top tips: book your tickets in advance, take the stairs and climb up at night - the tower is open until 10-11pm depending on the season and Paris looks nicer all lit up. And, if you’ve got a fear of heights like yours truly, you can’t see the ground when it’s dark out and the Eiffel Tower is lit up!
Boat Tours
You will see many boats on the Seine River, especially around the Eiffel Tower and city centre. While it may seem like a very touristy thing to do - like those double-decker buses that offer tours in most large cities around the world - it’s actually really worth doing. Even locals will get on the boats for parties or special occasion meals, so it’s not just for tourists.
Many companies do these tours. ‘Bateaux Mouches’ (which literally translates to ‘fly boats’), is the most famous boat tour agency in Paris and has given its name to the boats: locals will refer to any boat as a ‘bateau mouche’, no matter what agency it’s run by. We went with ‘Bateaux Parisiens’ and they were really good - we even got free crêpes with our ticket! My friend bought the tickets though, so I can’t tell you how to get a free crêpe - I only know she bought the tickets from a different website (like TripAdvisor or something similar).
Top tips: book your tickets in advance, though many companies do day tickets, so you aren’t tied to a specific time. Just make sure you get there 20 minutes before the start of your tour so you can get good seats. Sit outside, but bring a jumper or a jacket as it can be quite windy and chilly. The tour lasts about an hour and many offer audio commentary, but you can also just enjoy the view (or use Google Maps to check out what monuments you’re going past). And my final top tip, do the tour at night; it’s a lot more magical and impressive that way.
Architecture
Paris is full of beautiful architecture. All of the attractions and arrondissements I’ve mentioned so far are stunning and worth seeing, and there are plenty of other parts that are nice to walk through. If you want to know more about some of Paris’ iconic apartment buildings and avenues, look up Georges-Eugène Haussmann and the work he did to make Paris look how we know it today.
Food and drink
Paris has incredible food. France, in general, is known for its food quality and gastronomy. Just their snacks are far superior to anything I can get here in the UK - no offence to any of my British readers. The one thing I will say is that the French aren’t the best when it comes to special diets, especially vegan or gluten-free. Food is hugely important in France, and with baguettes, pastries and cheese being extremely popular (while this is a stereotype, it does ring true), most people won’t want to go without them.
With that being said, Paris is full of young people that bring new food trends to the forefront, so you will now find good places that cater to special diets. It will require a wee bit of research, but there should be plenty of options for you. Just be aware that they might not be as lenient or understanding of what vegan or gluten-free means in all places. It’s gotten a lot better in recent years, but please keep that in mind and research (or call) places before you go so you don’t have a crappy meal experience that ruins your trip. With that being said, here are some restaurants and cafes I highly recommend.
Boulangerie Utopie (11th arr.)
I couldn’t not start this list off with a bakery. We accidentally stumbled upon this bakery when the other one we were originally heading to was shut. And am I glad it was! Boulangerie Utopie had, hands down, the best croissant I have ever had in my life - and I’ve had many. They also had the tastiest brioche - if I remember correctly, it was called ‘brioche feuilletée’ and it was like a brioche and a croissant had a baby, in the best possible way. I highly recommend this place.
Angelina (1st arr.)
Angelina is a stunning cafe just across the road from the ‘Jardin des Tuileries’ and the Louvre. They make wonderful desserts and treats. However, the reason you have to go is to taste their hot chocolate. It is, honestly, the richest, silkiest, thickest and smoothest hot chocolate I have ever had. I will never look at powdered Cadbury or Nestlé hot chocolate the same way. The café is often very busy - and it’s quite a fancy and pricey place to sit in - but they have a hot chocolate stand just outside the café where you can get your cup. It is 5€ a cup, but trust me when I say it is worth it and maybe the best 5€ you’ll ever spend.
Cupkie (5th arr.)
Do you ever lick the spoon of raw batter whenever you bake something? I’m 100% guilty of this, even though I know you shouldn’t really do that. If you are like me, you will love Cupkie (I’m sorry, the website is only in French but the address is at the bottom of the page and there are loads of photos too). This wonderful wee place offers cookie dough in a tub - and it’s completely safe to eat! It’s the same principle as a fro-yo place: choose your flavour, add your toppings and voilà, you have a beautiful, rich treat (see photo above). It is quite heavy, so I recommend getting a small tub. We got medium ones and could not finish them!
Amorino
Do you like ice cream? Then look no further than Amorino. Their ice creams come in loads of flavours and taste heavenly. If you want an extra treat, order your scoops in a cone and they’ll shape them into a rose! We came here with friends when I did my summer course in 2017 and I still remember it, so that has to mean something! They’ve got a good few locations around Paris, but we went to the one in the 4th arrondissement.
Hank Burger (3rd arr.)
This restaurant’s name is quite misleading as it is actually vegan! Another memory from my 2017 trip, Hank Burger (again, French website but the address is at the bottom) made incredibly tasty food. One of my pals on this trip was doing a month-long vegan challenge and dragged us all there, and although some of the boys were complaining, they stopped as soon as they tasted the food. If this place can satisfy Germans who love meat, then it’s definitely a winner.
Il Grano (17th arr.)
My best friend was celebrating her birthday on this latest trip, so we chose Il Grano for her birthday dinner. The food was incredible. I had pasta with pistachio, hazelnut and pine nut pesto, and it was unreal. I will say though, the service wasn’t the best (our waiter was a bit all over the place and the kitchen forgot about our order, so we waited for our food for a long time).
We had actually chosen this restaurant as one person in our party is gluten-intolerant and they had loads of reviews saying that they had gluten-free pasta. When we arrived and asked about it, however, we were met with a confused waiter and were told that because the head chef wasn’t there, they couldn't make it. If you don’t have any intolerances though, the food in this place is great and not too pricey!
Union Square (5th arr.)
We found this place while wandering about the Latin quarter in the evening to find somewhere to have drinks. Union Square had lovely staff and wonderful drinks. It’s located in the heart of the Latin quarter’s wee streets and has a great atmosphere. They even had Bridgerton-themed cocktails, inspired by different characters, which were very popular amongst our group. They also serve food, though we’ve not had any so I can only vouch for their cocktails.
Maison Ladurée
Is there anything more iconic than macarons? You can these pretty much everywhere, but the most famous ones are from Maison Ladurée. I will say, though, that you can find better and cheaper macarons elsewhere - these are just the most iconic ones and they’ve got plenty of locations in Paris - including at the airport if you want to bring someone a wee gift back.
L’Instant Gourmand (Courbevoie)
I had to mention a few gems in Courbevoie too! L’Instant Gourmand (again, French website but address at the bottom) makes great pastries, baguettes and stunning desserts. Their baguette ‘la Croquante’ was so amazing, we had it for the rest of our trip after discovering it. I will warn you, however, that the staff in that bakery can be a bit rude and have been known to not treat customers very kindly.
Le Niagara (Courbevoie)
Also in the same neighbourhood, Le Niagara (another French website, you know the drill) is a wonderful brasserie and the food there tastes amazing. It’s also affordable, which isn’t always the case in Paris. Their daily specials menu changes every day and you’ll be sure to find something you enjoy on their menu. I highly recommend the steak tartare - it’s my go-to whenever I eat there and I may have eaten it twice in the same week. No regrets. Also, you can ask for it to be ‘poêlé’ - meaning it’s thrown in the pan for a minute so the outside is slightly cooked, and I think it really elevates the tartare and makes it more special than just traditional tartare. Right, tartare rant over. Their service can be a bit slow, so don’t go there if you’re in a rush.
Cook at home
I have to finish the food and drinks section by encouraging you to go to a French supermarket and eat at home. We had a few ‘tapas style’ dinners at home, with an array of hot and cold foods, and they were simply fantastic. Wine is also a lot cheaper in France, so you can pick up a very good bottle while you’re at the supermarket and enjoy it with your meal.
I mean, isn’t the image below just so Pinterest-worthy? Granted it’s a bit random but it was our last night and we were trying to finish everything we’d bought. If you don’t know what to get, here are a few recommendations: blinis with tarama or smoked salmon spread, a cheese selection and baguette (bonus points if you get your baguette from the ‘boulangerie’ like a true Parisian).
Also, French yoghurts, sweet treats and biscuits are unreal so have a proper browse of all the aisles in the shop. Food can be a bit pricey though, so keep an eye on how much things cost when you put them in your basket if you are on a budget. Just like anywhere, they often have different price categories for the same items, so you can just pick up the cheapest one - they still taste great in France, so you won’t be disappointed either way.
Parks and gardens
Le Jardin des Tuileries (1st arr.)
As mentioned previously, the ‘Jardin des Tuileries’ is located between the Louvre and the ‘Place de la Concorde’. The garden is stunning and offers plenty of sights, from fountains to statues and ponds. The garden is free to enter and there are chairs and benches everywhere. The green metal chairs are not attached to the ground, so you can move them around to accommodate everyone in your group. This place is very popular with tourists and locals alike.
Le Jardin du Luxembourg (6th arr.)
The ‘Jardin du Luxembourg’ is huge and also has plenty to offer. There are French and English gardens (I did have to look this up and found that French gardens are neat and geometric, while English gardens are a bit more ‘wild’ - read more about it here if you want), an orchard, greenhouses, a rose garden and activities for kids. Many locals use this park.
Champs de Mars (17th arr.)
The ‘Champ de Mars’ is the park located around the Eiffel Tower, and extends all the way from the monument to the ‘École Militaire’, the military school. It’s a very popular location for picnics and has plenty of plains of grass to sit on.
Bois de Boulogne (16th arr.)
I have never been there myself, but it’s a popular park so I thought I should mention it. The ‘Bois de Boulogne’ used to be royal hunting grounds and has since become a very popular park. There is a lot to do there, including playgrounds, restaurants, lakes, bicycle and boat hires, and picnic areas. However, I strongly recommend you do not go there at night. It’s a well-known red-light district and some sketchy stuff sometimes happens there. It’s just like any park anywhere, they’re not safe at night. So stick to going there during the day and you’ll have a nice time.
So here we have it, my Paris travel guide. I hope it has been helpful and please comment any questions or tips down below! Have a great time in Paris!
And if you are one of my regular readers, I will be back with a ‘normal’ post in two weeks. Have a lovely rest of your Sunday and I shall see you again soon.
Yours truly,
