Ultimate Paris Travel Guide: 10 Must-Know Tips For Travelers 👉 bit.ly/10MustKnowBeforeYouGo

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. 😁

@@FreshGrey-pm4vw I stayed at La Chamber du Marais. Lovely boutique hotel, recommended by Les Frenchies. See their video on Best Boutique hotels.

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

I was in Paris in July and all your tips are spot on...I found saying Bonjour and an opening sentence in French was easy and the locals appreciated the effort.

My first time in France I knew about 25 words of French. The next time that I traveled to France I knew a little more than 125 words, and I had a much better experience. I traveled to other cities, and often communicated in a combination of French and English.

Every week, you always leave me wanting more....thank you for all your quality work, passion and content on Paris and France.

Thanks for sharing your experience and helpful tips. 😊😊

I love your videos. They are so helpful. I downloaded your handbook and made myself a binder for my trip to Paris in two weeks.

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!

Love your videos! We've been to Paris once and are planning a trip back in October 2023. Can't wait and always something new to learn with Les Frenchies!

Les Frenchies video and my cup of coffee…a Saturday morning ritual! Thank you!

Leaving in 10 days, these guys are great in emphasizing the essentials in traveling to Paris. I’ll have to go back and rewatch some important videos and take notes.

You 2 are sensational... everyone of your videos are gems...perfectly precise. Planning my trip as I type this!!

Leaving for Paris tomorrow for the first time. I cannot thank you enough for all of your helpful videos!

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!

Going to paris nxt week... your videos are really helpful❤️❤️

Love your videos. You’ve put so much work into them! Any advice about the bedbug situation? What has been your experience been?

❤ Thanks for sharing. We are planning a trip soon. These tips help. ❤

I love your video, I lived with my parents as a teenager...but it's amazing how things have changed in Paris, i see it through your posts and how the food too has become more multi cultural, even to see people eating in the street/street food is amazing because as youngster that was a no no...walking around the Blvd eating food. A Table was the rule....again you posts are great. A great video would be for the disabled/and the accessibility.

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! 🫶🇫🇷👩‍🦽

Fantastic video! All your tips are excellent. In particular regarding the language. In many videos, derogatory comments, complaining that French people don't speak English. Well I don't expect the English, the German or in any other foreign countries that they speak French. It always surprises me. Anyway, Both of you are doing a great job❤️🌷

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.

I am going to Paris in a few days. You guys did a wonderful job, THANK YOU

Thank you for your tips and videos! I'm pretty sure they help many peoplel (Brazilians like me, including) to discover this charming city! Allez, on y va

Excellent video.

Thank you! I want to go to Paris one day in the future and this gives me hope to make my dream come true. Although I have hopes and dreams of seeing other parts of Europe, these are useful tips and I can’t wait to go hopefully in a few years from now! Thanks for the tips!

Your videos helped me and my family enjoy Paris so much! Thank you. I look forward to a return w a friend or two soon. I share your videos w potential travel buddies.

You guys have fantastic content....

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.

Very useful video, thank you. I appreciate the info for the phone card.

THANK YOU

Good overall advice. When it comes to hotels, I would always choose one that offered a good breakfast as part of the daily rate.

Très belle et très jolie nouvelle video culturelle sur comment voyager á Paris, merci beaucoup pour cette nouvelle information, very beautiful and very georgeous video cultural of the day on the theme of the travels to Paris

Another great video! Never let language be a problem. It feels like the stereotype of Parisiens is changing all the time and language is less and less of an issue. Learn some French phrases, say Bonjour and enjoy your adventure.

You're a lovely lady. Thank you for your video. I'm planning a trip to Europe. Merci Beaucoup!

Heading to Paris in October, first/second week, what should I plan to wear? I’ve watched a lot of your videos and you talked about summer and winter weather but not about fall. Thank you! Love your videos!

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.

We stayed in the Marais and I really enjoyed it. Lots of activity so even at night it felt fine. Lots of great restaurants and things to see and do. Just a note: we were there towards the end of July and noticed a lot of restaurants were starting their August holiday the last week in July. Not all, but a number of neighborhood places. We found PLENTY to eat at but just a note. Have the best time!
