- Can you take your dog to France? What's Paris like with a pooch?
This is Toby, my brilliant rescue dog who is my furry companion almost everywhere I go in France.
You can take dogs in the métro, on trains and in most restaurants and cafés in France, so there's no need to leave them at home.
And with that lifestyle allowing you to take your dog around, it doesn't matter if your Paris apartment doesn't have a garden. You can sit in a café with your dog at your feet. And the best thing? With a dog, everybody treats you like a local, not a tourist.

J'adore your channel. I miss Paris sooooo much. Returning in 2026.
Merci ! And your return visit (why so long away?) will remedy the ache you have for Paris
I live in Seattle and we have more dogs than kids here! I loved Paris so much, cant wait to go back with my good girl!
It's a very good city for very good boys and girls
Your dog is so cute and this place looks amazing and I like it when people love dogs
He was a lovely, lovely dog. And yes, overall Paris (and France) accommodate dogs very well. They are allowed to be true companions...
Yay! This is what I was looking for! I’m (hopefully) moving to France in October with my 65lb. dog 😊
Glad to help! France is (mostly) super dog friendly
The dog is excersing you.
It was a shared pleasure to get out together
Awesome! Just asked you under your other video about how dog-friendly Paris is and here it is - the right video with all the answers! Thank you :))
Cool -- glad you kept scrolling till you found it!
I struggle to find greenery/parks where dogs are allowed, let alone off leash, strangely - for such a beloved pet in France, this amazed me. Certainly, if you have a bigger dog, it needs to be able to run (on grass) as well (actually, most of the time), not just walk on the pavement. I am from the Netherlands and moved to the 15th in Paris this year, and I really do wonder how to do this properly. Back with my family in NL, we have a Rodesian Ridgeback. No way I could have kept a breed like that here, it would feel like animal cruelty. I hope in the future, there will be more green made available to pets!
Like you, I think it's outrageous that there aren't more off-leash places in Paris for dogs. But then I do sit back and think that this is one of the more densely populated cities on the planet, and it is really hard to balance the needs and wants of the 2.5 million residents of Paris, and the 32 million visitors the city gets every year.... But to answer your question: the green "lungs" on either side of Paris -- the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes are ideal for letting dogs off for a run. The 15th is not an arrondissement I know that well, but I'm sure you'll eventually find a place there that dogs are let off the leash (it may well be against regulations, so keep an eye out for passing police, but it does happen)

These are great videos. They've given great insight into Paris.
Many thanks - I'm not expert in a lot of things, but Paris I know well!
Hi Aida ,we have 2 yorkies, living in Gibraltar originally from Slovakia, but we are definitely moving to France hopefully to NICE as I am chef 👩🍳 and not only make food for people but for dogs too, thank you for beautiful video 😊
Enjoy the move! France is generally great for dogs. And Nice should be lovely!
Ok you've got me. I've "smashed that subscribe button" and am now avidly watching all your videos from the first to the most recent. You'll do very well on youtube! You said your Mum doesn't speak French. May I ask what language she speaks? Best wishes Jenny from Australia x
Once I get to know everybody here a bit better I might open up about family and languages. Not right now, but quite likely in a future video. Stay tuned! (And Oz is definitely a place I'll be visiting to do a video, perhaps next year.... Sure, some cliché stuff like seeing a koala -- or, if I could, a quokka! -- but also day-to-day life in one or two places there; and if I could get in some Melburnian coffee I'd be happy.)
This was a really reassuring video, thanks! We will come to Paris in a month for a week and it will be the first time that we bring our dog (a Labradoodle). We do not need to see all the typical sights, since we have been many times before. We will focus on culture and food, also for our own channel. We have read many times that in public transport, dogs need to be muzzled, but I do not see that in the video. What is your experience on public transport with a bigger dog? And do you have any tips for Paris with a dog in particular? Thanks a lot and greetings from the Netherlands!
My dog does wear a muzzle in the métro system (he just has it around his neck, ready to slip over his nose if any métro official asks)... you can get cheap nylon ones that fold into a pocket.
For Paris generally, dogs are easy to take almost everywhere. It's just most of the closed gardens don't allow them (in Jardin de Luxembourg for instance there's only one path around the rim of the park you can use). I recommend le parc des Buttes-Chaumont for a great place to walk with a dog. Or along the Seine, or just generally the streets of Paris. Always make sure you have plastic bags for the poop (probably best that your other half carry a spare one, so you're never short). Leave the dog with your other half or in your accommodation when you go to supermarkets. For restaurants and cafés there's usually no problem if the dog is calm (and the weather right now is great for the Paris terrasses, so the dog is happy outside with you). I usually also have a fold up water bowl for my dog with me, but most cafés and restaurants are happy to give your dog a bowl of water.
@@amusingaida perfect, thanks a lot! We indeed have a foldable nylon muzzle as this is the only instance we would need it. We have trained her at home to wear it. Thanks for the recommendations! Can’t wait to sit on a Parisian terrace again, this time with furry company. ☺️
What is the best place in france to have a dog?
Everywhere! France is generally really good with dogs. My furball is really happy in France
Hi! I am planning on living in Paris this summer and would LOVE to bring my dog with me. Coming from California, we have lots of grassy areas and parks for dogs to go potty. So in Paris, dogs are not allowed in most public parks? Do they pee also on the sidewalk? What is the proper etiquette for the dogs to go bathroom? I am most worried about that!!
First of all, because it is a dense city, dogs are very much socialized so there is no aggressivity (it can happen but rarely). You can definitely walk them everwhere in the city and they are much loved. Just remember to pick up after your dog if for nothing else than the hefty fines. Neighborhoods are different; wherever you end up getting a place, ask other dog owners in the neighborhood where the dog parks are or what the etiquette is. Parks always have a sign at the front explaining the rules (sometimes though you are technically not allowed to have them off the leash in parks but everybody looks the other way). Just ask the others... dog owners will have your back. ;)
@carol Ericksen, how are you planning to travel? I've been looking at flights that are dog friendly but they are rare
Can we get German shepherd puppy in france? If so how can I get one?
Yes, you can -- through registered breeders.
There are many sites to track one down. Here is just one I found (not a recommendation, just indicative) www.chiens-de-france.com/chiots/berger-allemand/france
You'll need to reserve one, and prove you're able to look after it
I’ve got two huskies one is a blonde husky and the other one is a mix of blonde black and white the blonde is her undercoat and then the black is a topcoat but whenever I walk in pairs literally I cannot make this up everyone is constantly staring at them or coming up to me to tell me that they’re beautiful it kind of gets a little Draining after a while from getting stopped a lot also another thing I’ve noticed since moving here is that the majority of people dogs are aggressive due to lack of socializing since they don’t have a lot of dog parks in France and the ones that do not very many people go if you know of any dog parks that a lot of people take their dogs to please let me know if I can fill these two are a little sad from my lack of stimulation from socializing since in Miami all the dogs are very friendly and the dog parks are constantly full of people and dogs
I know that experience well. But you can bet the obverse is worse (people will happily ignore you in Paris but a dog is a great icebreaker)
For dog parks - because there are so few in Paris, dogowners take over some out of necessity (there's one like that in the middle of the Marais for instance). But also, permitted: les Buttes Chaumont, Vincennes, along the Seine, la pelouse devant les Invalides...
