20 Essential Paris France Travel Tips

[@vagabrothers]

WHICH ARRONDISSEMENT IS YOUR FAVORITE? WHY?

[@msdaniellelea]

vagabrothers the 10th! Love how it’s less touristy and the canal saint-martin!

[@caifancabr0n699]

Probably the 14th arrondissement. Studied abroad in Paris for a time and got housed there! Very relaxed environment. Lots of great restaurants here as well. Not relevant to the arrondissement but, Pro-tip: On the day of Bastille Day the Louvre is free! I was in Paris back in the summer of 2016 for Bastille Day and a friend and I wanted to go and didn't have to pay. Perfect because there was hardly any people inside the Louvre, get to take all the pictures you want and then party in all throughout the afternoon and night watching the fireworks under the Eiffel Tower.

[@LineHoude]

I love the 20 arrondissement et le cimetière Lachaise, Le Marais and Montmartre

[@emckethern]

I like the 5th arrondissement. I saw where Ernest Hemingway lived and the restuarant I went to was named after famous writers!

[@bajlandia2025]

Same hard to say which one because many arrondissements I could visit again, but especially I remember the cruises on Seine :) I loved Seine and surroundings so walking or cruise -cool ! Besides I loved walking through Champs-Elysees!

[@thuururuu2]

For the ladies traveling alone, that may be a bit afraid or apprehensive of going by yourself, please don't be! As long as you're aware of your surroundings and keeping an eye on your stuff, you'll be totally fine. It is true that there will be guys trying to talk to you, but the best thing to do is to ignore it and keep walking, they'll leave you alone. I really don't think there was a moment I felt unsafe there and I'm so glad I went! Can't wait to go back!

[@BandiGetOffTheRoof]

The riskiest place seemed to be standing near the door of the metro with a phone in hand. Saw one get snatched from a local.

I'm French and I have to rectify something about the 15th point: Indeed, parisians are rude (actually all the rest of France hate them), but in "province", which means the rest of France, people are adorable and polite.

[@KatherineMann]

I didn't find that Parisians are rude but I did use my rudimentary French at every opportunity. They didn't laugh. The longer I stayed the better my French became. I also visited Aix-en-Provence and found very much the same sort of people. One thing that I noticed that a smile and a Bonjour went a huge way for every occasion. I noted that Parisians do not admire loud arrogant, dare I say it, Americans. Most Americans are lovely but there are always some who resent that they can't simply speak American English and find themselves understood. And so they shout and complain to one another. Witnessed that quite a lot in Paris. Hey, no one likes that sort of person so it's not so exceptional. I love Paris. I totally love Paris. But I'm from Montréal so there you go. :) Great tips in the video! Thanks VBs!

[@BandiGetOffTheRoof]

@@KatherineMann I must have gotten lucky because I only remember one rude person, not even rude, just grumpy...a bartender who wanted 3 euros to use his restroom, lol. My French is almost non-existent, too...and shop owners were so friendly. I walked into a book shop with a can of sardines I had just bought, and the owner was joking about trading the sardines for a book. Some other little restaurants, the owner remembered us, and welcomed us back. Yes, they make money from tourist like me so maybe they realize they can catch more flies with sugar, haha. I love Paris.

Paris is the city that I get the most nostalgic over. I can't even explain what it is. I can't wait to go back.

[@agtovetro3211]

I’m from Peru and I had a beautiful experience in Paris last year. All the French people (some were Parisians) I talked to were very polite and answered all my questions about the city.

[@PortlyTravellers]

We found the people in Paris very nice! I tried my best at french, of course Canadian French from high school. They appreciated me trying and switched to english. In fact we got really lost on the subway. Some local guy amazing noticed we looked lost and helped us. He even walked us to out platform. We had a great experience with the polite helpful locals of Paris.

[@maureenedwards2388]

I have rented an apartment in the 7th arrondissmont for the month of May. I have visited Paris 8 or so times before, but for only 3 to 5 days, so always feel a bit rushed. I can't wait to leisurely stroll the city and you have now made it part of my goal to see all 20 arrondissements!

[@philipb2134]

Go past the touristy areas of Montmartre, past the Place du Tertre, and walk downhill to explore the northern slope. It's really off the beaten path, and is a genuine Paris experience.

[@sharmavishwas]

What to wear in Paris to blend in: a frown.

[@gail4101]

I so enjoyed this video of Paris! I can never get enough of this city…I’ve been there seven times with various companions,which in itself is another experience. Now you’ve made me homesick… the only rude person(s) I’ve encountered are Americans and while I’m also one, one needs to be kind, respectful to everyone. I speak very basic French but my favorite time of doing so was in a taxi from Gard de Nord in the 10th arrondissement to my hotel next to the Place de la Concorde. I had forgotten the address so I had to rely on my memory of previous visits to tell him in bad French where it was. After getting us there, I apologized (still in French) to the driver who said in Bad English oooh la la la, I would rather hear bad French than English any day!!

[@1computernew]

I've been to Paris either nine or ten times. My favorite district is the eighth. I love the Champs Elysees and it's where my favorite hotel, Hotel California, is located on Rue du Beri. It's also very close to the ninth district and the big department stores.

Before my first visit, I read about the history of France. Granted it was the abbreviated Wiki version, but it really helped me appreciate what I was seeing. Especially fascinating is the history of Baron Haussmann. You'll never look at a mansard roof the same way! lol

Paris. Poets, musicians, playwrights, authors, journalists, and others have all shown their love for this city through their writing. It is a location that oozes sophistication, style, class, and culture. I fell in love with this city the first time I went there, just like countless others have before me.

Brings back memories. I only got to visit Paris back in 1996 and had a great time. I knew some French basics to use when I went to a restaurant or store. The only ride person I met was a fellow American. I'm hoping to go back again within the next few years.

[@vidiesel]

Le Marais and Montmarte are my favorite as well. I lived in the 12th in Bel Air when I was studying abroad and loved it. I never got a chance to visit the Latin Quarter but it is definitely on my priority list next time I'm in Paris. As for a tip: Paris is not Disneyland and is very much a regular city. People work and live in Paris. So please be aware of your surroundings and how you act in the city. Be respectful and move out of the way if you want to take pictures or be patient enough to let people go by before snapping a pic. And yes, speaking a little bit of French is extremely important to having a good experience.

I’m lucky enough to have family near Paris, so I’ve gotten to visit a few times in my adult life! A lot of the vagabrothers’s tips make sense! - 100% agree with visiting Paris in the fall, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Luckily for us, last year it was still 80° in mid October. - Parisians and French people do appreciate it when you begin the convo in French and ask if they speak English.

[@jd3422]

Excellent video with good points to disseminate to people. Just three comments in response to yours: #3 - When you talked about buying ten tickets to use on the Metro, you didn't mention anything about the Carte Navigo for using public transport. I always try to arrive in Paris on a Sunday or Monday, the first day of the week you can buy a seven-day unlimited pass. In fact, I use the buses and Metro so much that even if I am there for only four or five days, I still get terrific value for it. It even includes round trip transport to/from the airport. #14 - Ah, Jim Haynes! What a wonderful guy he was. I went to his dinners many times. I've been wondering if anyone is going to take up the mantle for these dinners now that he has died (January 2021). #15 - Pickpockets got a brief mention. You really do need to be careful of your pants pockets on the Metro. Those thieves are quick!
