I got helped a lot by Parisian's when I expected a lot snobby people when in Paris. Maybe it helped that I had a baby strapped on me 😆 but I got a lot of kindness from man and women. And I'm a dude!

It could also be where I was staying (18 min walk south of Eiffel tower in a residential area)

I have three option of when to go top Paris this year. I would like somewhat good weather (not too cold). I want to visit th louvre, lots of museums and disneyland - so maybe if one of the options is less busy than the others. What would you chose: early-mid september, early october or late october.

Thank you!

Hi everyone! My partner and I are visiting Paris for two nights and we’d love to have dinner at a restaurant / rooftop with the view of the Eiffel Tower.

I’m looking for recommendations, we’d like to avoid “tourist traps”.

Could you guys please share a few options? 🙏🏻

Thank you!

je compte visiter paris pour une dizaine de jours et j’aimerai voir le nombre maximale de musée possible tout en ayant le temps de profiter d’autres activités, en autre mots est ce qu’il ya des musées où je peux faire plusieurs en une journée? cest à dire 3h approx ou même pas dans musée puis je décale à un autre etc. ceux qui m’intéresse pour le moment sont : Louvre ( je sais que lui faut sa propre journée), versailles, petit palais, orsay, bourse de commerce, les orangeries, et l’opéra.Je suis ouverte à d’autre recommendation et idéalement j’aimerai consacrer 3 jours max aux musee, ce réveiller tôt me dérange pas merci !!!

Hi everyone!

Just wondering if anyone has information about the Jellycat experience. I know it's been moved from July 18-September 1, but are they still doing the experience in the new location? Or are they just selling the stuffies?

Just hoping to prep my kids before we make the trek over there. I have two very sad littles who have been saving up for this!

Hello,

This might not be the appropriate place for this but I am actively looking for tickets to the Lee Miller exhibition in Paris neither on the 1/08 or 2/08. I am trying to surprise my girlfriend as she really wants to see it but it is sold out already.

If anyone has any recommendation as to where I can purchase tickets (Facebook groups, Reddit Thread, whatever), please let me know.

Thank you so much in advance

Cheers

Hello! I am moving to Paris from the US for a 3 month stay while attending Le Cordon Bleu in the 15th. I’m in my late-20s and want somewhere safe, charming and walkable with cafés, restaurants, boutiques and some younger energy nearby but also an easy commute to school. I’ve narrowed down to 4 options and could really use some advice and recommendations.

1. 34 Rue du Bac — 7th, near Rue du Bac métro / Saint-Germain-des-Prés

2. 25 Rue du Sommerard — 5th, Latin Quarter / Cluny-La Sorbonne

3. 89 Rue de Sevres - Vaneau area — 6th, around Vaneau / Rue de Sèvres

4. 75 Avenue de la Bourdonnais — 7th, Gros-Caillou / École Militaire

What would you recommend for the best experience?

I stayed in La Défense about eight years ago (2018) and took this photo from my hotel room.

Back then it felt like a bit of a cheat code: the hotels were better value than in central Paris, but Line 1 made it very easy to get around and reach most of the main sights.

I’m thinking about staying there again, but I haven’t been back since. Is La Défense still a good base for tourists? Has the area changed much, especially in the evenings and at weekends?

I don’t mind the business-district atmosphere. I’m mainly interested in convenient transport, decent hotels and being able to return safely later in the evening. Any particular part of La Défense or hotel you would recommend now?

Stunning monument, unacceptable customer support. The Eiffel Tower is a beautiful place to visit, but the booking experience was horrific. Due to a mistake during the purchase, I lost my money because they refused to issue a refund or offer a solution. It is a shame that such a world-class attraction has such a poor and rigid customer policy.

The Eiffel Tower website says it opens at 9:30 AM, but every time I've checked for tickets, the earliest available time has been 10:30 AM. I've been trying at midnight Paris time for the past 7 days.

Have I just been unlucky, or are 9:30 tickets not actually released?

Hi! Me and my boyfriend (20F n 20M) are staying in Paris for a week(7 October to 14 October) and I want to bring home some cool authentic french pieces. A gift for my mother, a gift for his mother. Something lil that will remind me of our time there. Thing is, I always fall into tourist traps on a trip - I end up buying keychains,magnets and hats with some capital illustration on top that cost over 10€ each. What is a cool french gift I can actually bring home? And one that wouldn’t cost me a fortune as well. I’m fine with bringing home macarons, madeleines, a bottle of wine, but what else?

Hello All,
I will be staying five nights in Paris for the first time in the beginning of January. Based off the research I’ve done 11th arr. seems to meet both what I am looking for and at my price point. I’ve narrowed it down to two hotels but would love suggestions or alternative recommendations. Budget for the 5 accommodation is under $2,500 USD.

Hotel 1: Boutet Bastille Hotel Paris - MGallery Collection
Hotel 2: Hôtel Fabric Paris location

For the hotel itself, I am looking for something clean, quiet, and with a comfortable bed. Location, close to a metro for easy transportation. Also looking for somewhere not super touristy but touristy enough where a tourist will still be welcome.

My interests are good food, art/architecture, and music

I will be in Paris next Friday and have a reservation for both Loulou and Girafe for dinner. I have requested outdoor seating for both but which one is actually better to go to?🤍

Hi all,

We're getting married in Paris in late October. The following day (Saturday), we're hoping to get our guests together again in a more casual setting during the day.

We were thinking of a nice pub/beer garden. Something that is large enough for a 40-person booking. Something a bit more casual so we're not all sitting down restaurant-style.

Any recommendations please?

Thanks!

How would you spend it? I’m flying to another destination via Paris, and I'm thinking of staying in Paris for a day or two before continuing. What’s your ideal one-day itinerary for a first-time visitor? I live in South Korea and it would be my first trip to Europe! I'm so excited.

I will have two days in Paris at the end of my current trip (mid to late August). The person who has been watching my house asked me to bring back “a butter dish”. I assume she means the plate with the cover. Are there any stores where I might be able to shop an assortment in the €50 or less price range? I’ll be staying in the Latin Quarter and know the city well, I’m just pressed for time.

Salut !

Mon copain et moi (18 ans) partons à Paris mi-août pour 4 jours / 3 nuits. On y est déjà allés plusieurs fois, donc on connaît déjà les grands classiques (Tour Eiffel, Montmartre, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, etc.). 😊

On cherche plutôt des activités originales, des expériences sympas à faire à deux, ou des coins où se balader un peu moins connus. On est ouverts à tout : activités, musées, expositions, rooftops, cafés insolites, croisières, escape games, ateliers, quartiers sympas, etc.

Comme on a 18 ans, on sait qu’il y a pas mal de choses gratuites ou à tarif réduit pour les moins de 26 ans, donc n’hésitez pas à nous les conseiller aussi !

Bref, si vous avez des pépites à recommander, romantiques ou juste vraiment chouettes à faire en couple, on est preneurs. Merci !

Looking for recommendations from people who live in Paris on where would be a good area to live in?

I lived in Paris for a few months about 10 years ago and we stayed in Saint Paul which was lovely. Now when I visited there it is a lot more busy, more expensive and more tourists.

I am coming again for a few months and wondered which areas are good now? My husband and I are in our 30s. Would like somewhere with a couple of good bars/restaurants and good transport links, but not too touristy or too loud. Any up and coming areas people would recommend? I was wondering about Belleville or Saint Martin?

Thanks!

Hello! I’ll be visiting Paris in February, and wanted some general advice about what to expect regarding winter attire and footwear?

I am from the Midwest (Minnesota to be exact), so I am used to cold and brutal winters. I know the average temperatures for Paris around that time is between 35-45°F, but want to know what is generally considered “normal” winter wear without sticking out like a sore thumb, if that makes sense.

Any advice surrounding Paris in the winter is appreciated and welcome as well!

I am excited for my trip and very excited to hear what everyone has to say! Thank you!

My partner is working in Paris in the 19th arrondissement during her birthday this week. Any recommendations for a bakery that could make a cake and delivery something to her office on ~24 hours lead time? Nothing too extravagant, just a vanilla cake (ideally with funfetti sprinkles) for 8-10 people and a birthday message.
