Based on your videos, I booked my first ever trip to Paris and had the most wonderful time. It seems incredible to me that the average stay for tourists is 3 to 4 days. I stayed a week and would have preferred a month! I know about ten French words but they are the right ones. Politeness is key. A proper greeting and Merci can take you a long way. I felt completely safe at all. hours of the day and night. I'm a senior and mostly invisible to people here in the states. Young people in Paris gave up their seat on the metro to let me sit, or held doors open for me. They were incredibly courteous. Yes, there was the one person inside the airport offering to take my luggage to their taxi. I knew to avoid that and go to the taxi stand, and avoid people wanting me to sign a petition and donate. Other than that, no issues, . Merci Les Frenchies for giving me the confidence to go on my great adventure. Next year will be a longer stay!

I know you had a great visit. I did a 3 week solo European trip from Vienna to Paris in 2018 - as a retired senior woman. My last 5 days were in Paris, and although I had been there 3 times before, there is so much to see. However, this last trip, I really slowed down - walked miles every day sometimes aimlessly, spent more time sitting outdoors at cafes, and eating whatever I wanted. 😁

As a parisian i think every tourists that come to Paris should see your video about scams and things to know before going here. I would also like to say that Paris is quiet safe for local, less safe for tourists but still very safe. My best advice is to always be aware and to detect weird people around you ib touristic spots like museums or airports

If you are doing Duolingo - the french podcast or the audio lessons are the way to go for quickly learning some conversational elements. The regular lessons are a much slower way of building vocabulary! You two both made our trip to Paris so so much better, Thank you!

Having visited Paris on several occasions- great advice and great video 😊 My tip would be, rather than asking if a person speaks English (which can be seen as somewhat impolite), simply start every conversation with "Bonjour, je suis désolé, je ne parle pas français. Je suis... (insert your nationality)- "Hello, I'm sorry, I don't speak French, I am..."- then continue in whatever fractured French you may have. Generally, if the person with whom you are speaking speaks English (better than your French), they will, very quickly, speak English to you if you are having difficulties. It shows your respect for the language and the culture which the French tend to appreciate.

We just returned from a trip in July and it was so fun. The people were wonderful and so patient and kind. The RATP app was super helpful with the Metro if we were trying to get someplace at a specific time, and also noted if certain lines weren’t running (like during the last stage of the Tour de France). We used Navigo Easy cards and the station agent helping us set them up spoke a little English so with my little French, we did just fine. I cannot wait to return and explore more. So much history, so many croissants, never enough time. We also (not on purpose) did a speed run in the Louvre and saw all our “must see” pieces in 30 minutes! We stayed for longer after that but it can be done! The Paris Museum Pass is great.

Fully agree! We used to travel to Paris a lot (via Eurostar) and found that taking a wheelchair around Paris is quite uncomfortable across the (many) cobblestone streets (pavés). A shame really, as Paris such a walkable city otherwise. A practical disabled guide/commentary from a local perspective would be really handy, although we accept it would not be easy for a non-disabled person to comment effectively. Love this channel, btw! 🫶🇫🇷👩‍🦽

You covered most of the questions usually asked especially dress comfortable and in layers. I always advise to bring a waterproof coat/jacket. Through May, weather is temperate but can get rather cold or cool and it can rain anytime but that should not dampen your fun. The other tip maybe over looked was not to over pack as tourists almost always shop and come home with lots more than they came with sometimes having to buy another suitcase. We did that more than once as shopping is great in Paris especially in small local boutiques. Have fun!

It's our first time to Paris. We're from Toronto and are taking a Mediterranean cruise for 11 nights leaving from Marseille. We decided to fly to Paris as it's easier to find a direct flight and they always say to arrive early to deal with jet lag. We are to land at CDG and are (from your tips) taking the train to Gare de Lyon and staying at Mercure Paris Gare de Lyon. We chose this hotel because we're taking the bullet train to Marseille to leave for our cruise and as we noticed, it's not a huge city and public transit looks like the way to go. After the cruise we reverse the process and come back to Paris for a day then back to "The big smoke" (Toronto) Thanks to your videos we are creating an itinerary to see some of the "must sees". Waiting patiently for the Spain and France football leagues to try to catch a game with either Marseille, PSG, or Barca. Definitely going to Camp Nou whether there's a game or not. We bought the guide for Paris, and are enjoying the process. Thank you very much for all your tips. P.S. I have a daughter than is going to school in Montreal, a city I have always loved. I think of it as out north american Paris. :)

Amazing video as usual. Anytime is certainly the right time for Paris!! Recommend people research any fees that might be associated with using their credit or debit card overseas. Some banks and credit card companies charge a flat fee or percentage on international transactions, usually quantified as an 'exchange fee' on your statement. I recommend finding a card that specifically does not charge these fees (personally use Capital One Sapphire) because Les Frenchies are correct - you'll use your card almost everywhere. Equally important is calling to notify your bank and credit card companies of when you'll be internationally traveling so they don't automatically flag your card or decline a transaction as fraudulent during your travels abroad.

Thanks for the excellent advice. As a Parisian having travelled in loads of place I can say that in Paris, the key to people's heart is "Bonjour". Never start a sentence in English straight away as this will close you many doors. Just trying to speak a little French will start the multi-lingual capabilities of the people you are talking to. Yes renting a car in Paris, like in London or New York is a waste. Better use the excellent public transportation: faster and much cheaper, especially with Tourist day passes. Excellent suggestion about wearing confortable shoes because to really enjoy Paris, you need to walk. You will discover so many more things (hidden treasures). Avoid having a camera as this will label you as a tourist, just use your smart phone. Plan ahead about the key things you want to do as this may save you hours of waiting time in queues (Le Louvre, Eiffel tower, night attractions, etc). Shopping place is les grands magasins, Boulevard Haussman, including Le Printemps and Galeries Lafayette in the 8ème Arrondissement (8th District). You may even, for large purchases, get a VAT refund at the Airport when leaving for a non-EU country. Never have a fat wallet in your jeans' rear pocket (this is an invite to pickpockets). Enjoy your stay in Paris

Just returned from Paris in the last week of December, and we spent Christmas with our daughter who is now living in Paris... My wife and I enjoyed our almost two-week stay in the city... Your advice on scams and pickpockets in Paris is spot on. I'm a senior Asian tourist and they targeted me because they thought I'm alone, the pickpockets are caucasians, two males and a conniving female, they held onto each of my feet and I cannot move, luckily my wife and daughter made noises, and tried pushing the pickpockets. The male one pretended he dropped his earphone near my foot and show them to me before leaving the train hurriedly. They targeted Asians because they are smaller and easily recognizable and always pay in cash when eating and shopping. They haven't got anything from me because my credit card and cash are on the sleeve of my ski-down jacket and my iPhone is on my inner mid-layer sweater. Even before you enter the Metro train they are already profiling you, so always be aware of your surrounding. Don't ride a crowded train coach!

I speak enough French but my brothers don’t when we visit . The number one advise for non French speakers is to learn hello, please, and thank you. Keep your mouth closed on the Métro . Keep your voice down. No one wants to hear your conversation. It’s uncouth and disrespectful to be loud! Always say Bonjour when you walk in any café or shop. You must acknowledge the people working there or you will get the cold shoulder. Bonjour is the magic word! 🙂

thanks for the video~ personally I love to travel Paris around end of May to early June, nice weather and relatively lower price for hotel~~~ also avoid to travel during fashion week, hard to get a room or even grab a taxi~~~~

I've been traveling to Paris for more than fifty years and once lived in France for a year. My favorite time of year to visit is between November and March when the music and art season is in full swing and there are fewer tourists. The only time I take taxis are to and from the airport. At all other times I use the Metro or walk. You can even take a train from the airport into the city and connect with the Metro if you are on a tight budget. Taxis are very expensive. I stay at a small 3-star hotel in the 9th arrondisement not far from the Gare St. Lazare frequented by French business people. If you can afford it, make a reservation online at least one of the top restaurants, but go for lunch when you can have the fixed price menu. Otherwise, meals are more affordable at sidewalk cafes which list their daily lunch specials on chalk boards near the front door. They are nearly always good, especially in French neighborhoods away from the most touristy areas. Making lunch specials your main meal will save you a bundle.

Another great video! One comment about Orange. Long lines are common: Monday’s, mornings at opening and lunch hour.
