I went to Paris 17 years ago and I didn't really like it. I went back two years ago and I fell in love with it. I wanted to go this summer too but hotel prices are crazy!!! (over 250 euros per night in a two star hotel) so I decided to catch the 6am train from London and come back with the 9pm train. Just one day. Just to walk around, look around, eat around, soak up the Parisian atmosphere. I'm going at the end of this month so this video came out at the perfect time :) Thank you!
Same here my husband and I went together about 14 years ago and didn’t understand what was so great about it. Fast forward to last year I went with some friends and it was great. I liked it enough to convince my husband to give Paris another try. He agreed. We just returned this week from a fabulous time. Paris and the country of France is really beginning to grow on me!!!
The Olympics! Rats. Too many people. Instead, go to Paris before Christmas. I do. Not too cold and is you need warming up, go into a cafe, have a coffee, and munch down on a pastry. The Christmas decoration are wonderful, but I especially love the great window displays in the department stores.
Great advice! It’s what my French friends told me to do when I went to Paris the 1st time, 30 years ago. I spent 1 week in Dijon, but I only had 1.5 days in Paris. The only thing, my friends told me not to go to the Eiffel Tower because you can see it from a distance. True. But, when I came home, everyone asked if I went to the Eiffel Tower, and constantly saying no, made me wish I went to it. I didn’t go inside any museums. Sitting in front of Notre-Dame, and looking at the architecture of Paris was a lot to soak up. Picking that thing you love to do, is perfect! I love sitting and watching people. So, I terrace and park hop, and go to perfume shops.
So true that Paris can take a life time to explore. Wonderful city. As a foodie, I go to a really good restaurant for lunch as it so much less expensive than dinner, try new wines and innovative food, then spend the afternoon walking off lunch, shopping and visiting cavistes. Then I have a light dinner at a good cafe or get bread, cheese and a little charcuterie and sit on one of the quais, weather permitting. Parfait.
I visit paris several times a year, by train from Belgium ( By Thalys). A visit just for a day, the first train there and last one back. My whole day is just like in your video, neatly planned. with a few terraces, restaurant and at least one museum. 12-15 km walking, rarely a metro. You encounter so many great places, streets,...
I was in Paris for 12 hours and I was able to see most of its famous attractions; Eiffel Tower, Pere Lachaise, Place de la Bastille, Notre Dame, Louvre, Sacre Coeur and Arc de Triomphe. I'm cheap thus I didn't go inside any of the paid attractions. My favorite was Pere Lachaise cemetery.
Dear Lucille, we just got back from Paris, and I wanted to thank you! We stayed in an amazing apartment in Les Batignolles, and loved it! It is you recommendation of this neighborhood that pushed us towards this apartment, and it has made our Paris experience so much better. To be honest, I wouldn't even leave the neighborhood (I have seen major Paris landmarks before), but i had to show my daughter:) So, thank you again, and I can't wait to go back to this area! Hello from Chicago
Wow what a nice comment to read! I am so happy that you stayed in the Batignolles area and loved it! To be honest, I feel the same way about never wanting to leave :)
Totally agree. Paris is the place to flaneur. Walk past the major attractions - they all look best from outside. Get lost in the side streets and Live Like A Local.
I had the opportunity to stay in Paris for just one day in early October, and to make the most of my short stay, I visited Montmartre, which you introduced. The weather was good, the view from the top of the hill was magnificent, and the surrounding cityscape was full of Parisian charm, which was very moving. Thank you very much for introducing us.
Great tips! Time spent at dinner and lunch is a great way to get French culture. Didn’t know that about picnicking outside with champagne- a must, will try. Thank you merci from Chicago again! 🇫🇷🇺🇸🇫🇷🇺🇸
Thank you so much for this informative, insightful video filled with great suggestions and insider tips. Greatly appreciate your hard work and thoughtfulness that you put into this and all of your videos.
Merci! j'adore tes videos! Ma fille et moi nous allons visiter Paris de Montreal la semaine prochaine. On a pris un hotel a montmartre et on a l'intention de manger tout de que vous avez recommandé! merci
I feel your big points are true in so many big cities. Thanks for showing me some of Paris. (I was there 10 days and never even wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower. You can see it from everywhere else!)
So helpful! I only have one day and you mentioned exactly what I want to do.. Go to a pharmacy, and have a picnic with the Eiffel Tower somewhere in the background and as many carbs and I can get my hands on.
I’m planning to have 6 days, and I was planning to use a similar strategy for several of those days. The get there early plan works pretty well in much of Europe and the USA, but not so well in Japan and in Chinese areas. They’ve been dealing with fierce overcrowding for a very long time. We’ve got a multigenerational group. I’m grandpa, I’ve been to Paris a fair amount starting in 1966. Grandma has been too, but for less time. Parents have never been out of the country. Tween daughter hasn’t been either and has the museum tolerance typical for her age. As much as I hate the idea we may do the stereotypical Louvre where we hit Mona Lisa and Venus De Milo and only spend an hour. Definitely early morning timed entry. I may try to figure out a better alternative route through the Louvre, but I may have to sell it. It’s better organized than it used to be. In 1966 I was a tween, and I remember a long time spent among medieval crucifixions 9:22 . I went through with my boss on a business trip weekend, and he got through each gallery before me. As we left I asked him why. He said he was trying to get to the impressionists. Oops. I will try to ask everyone what they are interested in. As typical folks from the US, we all have mobility issues to some degree, so we won’t be able to walk as much as would be ideal. I suspect we’ll use more taxis and metro. What about the tour boats on the Seine? I’ve enjoyed those in the past. It gives a different perspective, and give one a chance to rest the feet. I’m also planning to visit a nerd museum or two, certainly the Musée des Arts et Métiers. I need to find an Aviation museum if there is one, since I got my granddaughter addicted to aviation. Nerd museums, thankfully, are generally less popular.
When we are leaving France after 3 weeks of traveling outside of Paris, we drop off our rental car at Charles De Gaulle Airport the day before our departure and check into one of the hotels there. Then we take the RER to the Saint-Michel-Notre-Dame station. We then spend the next 10 hours in our favorite part of Paris.
Bonjour Lucile! Can you stop by Place du Trocadero and see if we can still have our photos taken with an unobstructed Eiffel background? Or is it all fenced now?
Great tips Lucile and I'm your new subscriber from London, UK here! I've been watching some of your videos about beautiful Paris, France so I decided to subscribe to your channel! I'm thinking about visiting Paris maybe next year & Congrats 🎉on 95K Subscriber's you deserve it!
I have used blue cheeses on pizza. I see locally they are called Roquefort style, with names like Danish blue. Roquefort is another protected designation of origin (PDO) like Champagne.
Bonjour Lucile! I really like your videos. I have a quick question if you happen to see this. I will be in Paris for a few days next month (staying near Parc Monceau) and I will be travelling solo before heading to Spain. I've not been to Paris before and am wondering if there is anything special I should know about dining solo while in Paris, especially for dinner? I'd love to hear your thoughts and/or suggestions. Merci
Hi 👋 👋 👋 Lucille, My favorite French queen 👸 love ❤️ all your tips and advice about just anything ! You should be a tour guide, Lucille ! I guess in some ways, you already are! But to me, you're the best ever ! I love ❤️ you, my buddy Lucille, forever and ever! Jamie 😊 ❤
+1 Can confirm that Le Louvre will eat your day, leave you drained and you might get to enjoy maybe 20% of it. If it is on your must do list, I'd say allocate 2-3 days, if you want to take it all in, though Lucile may have a better suggestion. We definitely need to plan to go back, forearmed with Lucile's wisdom!
J'ai habité pendant 5 ans à Paris et j'ai toujours trouvé que la meilleure visite de la tour Eiffel, c'est de loin ! Tous les quertiers que tu recommandes sont excellents. Et il y a une ligne de bus qui longe la Seine, c'est très bien pour visiter sans marcher.
Love these tips. I'm going to be in Paris in the end of this month for 2 days. I'm a vegetarian. Please suggest me some suitable resturants and authentic french dishes to try.
Hi there, love your channel 😊👍But I´m also a local in Montmartre (for over 11 years) You have hundreds of restaurants in Montmartre neigborhood and many really good ones, so I don´t agree with you not to eat in Montmartre, it´s like judging out over 250 restaurants. Personally I wouldn´t recommend Bouillon if you looking for good food, but if you are on a budget it´s perfect. Looking forward to more videos 😊🌸🌸👍
great video!!... i def recommend walk from opera house to seine river (louve musesm) , then walk to eifel tower to Arch de Triumpe... long walk. about 3 hours but you can see alot of Paris treasures. i was there in May 2024. I stayed in Eifel tower area (15th) great local area, safe. I didnt like Paris because of olmypics construction. The opera house was getting worked on. Notre dam as well...... i do have alot of tips.
I like your video a lot - it's important to avoid trying to "do all the major sights" - probably I wouldn't even visit Montmartre as it can be a nightmare of crowds and pickpockets. I'd also set a maximum of three Métro rides in one day - many make the mistake of thinking of the Métro as a wormhole that takes you across the city in no time at all. If you count the waiting times and the walks in corridors for changing trains, a single Métro trip is easily 20-30 minutes, so if you take too many of them, they'll eat into your day - and while they are quite a Parisian experience, noise and air quality in some of the lines can make it pretty tiring.
Do not eat there (Montmarte) -- my partner and I did because it was raining so hard and just had to wait an hour or so for the tour and yup, could not agree more.
Of course you can eat in Montmartre!! 🙄. Her point was: do not eat in the touristy section near Sacre Coeur. There are hundreds of other restaurants a 15 min walk from there.
Hey there! I'm Zeeshan Arshad, a pro thumbnail designer and video editor. Ready to take your thumbnails and videos to the next level? Let's swap some samples and chat about teaming up!
Go behind Sacre Cour, there is a restaurant called Bohemia, the food is delicious. Everyone in my family loved it, specially the dessert 🍮. The prices are what you expect to pay at a sit down restaurant. By the way, they have one of the cleanest and most beautiful bathrooms in Paris. I visited a month ago by the way, service is slow so enjoy the vibe and whom ever your with 😊

Use airbnb there are a lot of cheap and good places ! Also A ton of arbnbs with balcony and under 200€
I used to do the same with going to Las Vegas. Leave LA in the morning and come back that night.

Not an expert on Paris, but I'd recommend the Butte-aux-Cailles area, that's where I stayed, only a short metro ride to the centre.
You are a GLORIOUS tour guide. THANK YOU!

First thing to do, find a pastry-bakery where I can buy "Coucougnettes du vert galant" candy and eat until I'm fool!
Thanks for recommendations ❤
Quand tu étais petite, pour ne pas trop te fatiguer, nous prenions souvent les bateaux-mouches pour visiter Paris en nous reposant 😊

Going to the top of sacre couer is much better than the Eiffel Tower. I had no line and hardly anyone was up there and the view was superb

Then we take the RER to the Saint-Michel-Notre-Dame station. We then spend the next 10 hours in our favorite part of Paris.

Merci! Je serai à Antony entre le 1er et 7 août. Puis-je vous inviter à un lunch pour vous remercier ?
What about we’re staying for longer? All videos are focused on one day or two day trips but not for longer trips. I’m staying two weeks

I agree with your thoughts on the metro, I actually prefer walking and biking if I can :)
Yeah I think I would rather pass on the crowded touristy places. I feel bad for people who come to L.A. and wanna go to Hollywood Blvd- NO. LOL
Love You.
