Hi,

I just checked the flight ticket prices for returning to France in the coming days from Southeast Asia, without going through the Gulf. I can see why some prefer to wait it out where they are, at least for now. One-way economy class prices.

Hello,

I’d like to do the 550 km Grand Tour of Paris around June 21st—it’s the GR1 trail. I plan to return to Paris each day so I don’t have to carry a heavy pack, and I want to take my time exploring the city as well. I’m looking for a travel companion who’s in good physical shape and loves hiking. I’m 68, a semi-retired teacher (I still enjoy teaching), an international traveler who’s already done a round-the-world trip and wants to do more… Looking forward to getting to know you! Jean Marie

Hi, I saw that the first tram from Pont du Garigliano leaves at 5:15 AM, and by taking the RER B at Cité Universitaire afterward, I’d arrive at Roissy at 6:30 AM—2 hours before my international flight. Is this doable, or not? If anyone’s done this before, I’d love to hear about it. Thanks

Hi there,

I’m traveling alone from my remote Pyrenees home to Roissy Airport, arriving at Austerlitz Station. I’m a bit nervous about getting to the airport—could you suggest a route?

While you’re at it, maybe you could recommend a budget hotel near the airport?

Thanks so much for your help!

Best to you all

Hi everyone,

I’m looking into a trip to Paris around mid-February. I’d love to know more about the temperature (weather) in Paris, museum access (closures or anything else), how easy it is to get around on foot (slippery due to ice?), public transport, etc.

Also, are there any events or activities I absolutely shouldn’t miss? I could adjust my dates based on what you know.

On another note, I’d love to catch a hockey game. Are there any around Paris? I’m happy to watch a few games no matter the level 🏒🥅

FYI, I’m not afraid of the cold since I’m from Quebec 😁😆😆🧑‍🌾

Thanks in advance for your help! 👍😊❤️❤️

How do I get to ibis budget coeur orly from the Metro Line 14 Orly station on foot

Hi everyone,

I’d love to get your thoughts on these two routes I’ve planned to see the highlights of Paris in two days.

I don’t want to take any transportation.

I’ll arrive at the hotel by car on Saturday around noon and won’t pick it up again until the next evening to leave.

**First day:** I’m thinking of starting from the hotel, then heading to the Eiffel Tower - Trocadéro - Galeries Lafayette - Élysée Palace - Tuileries Garden - the Louvre (outside only) and finishing at Les Invalides.

12 km



(The route on the map is just for reference to show the places we’ll visit—it might vary by a hundred meters or so.)

**Second day:** Starting from the hotel, we’ll go to Montmartre - Sacré-Cœur Basilica - Pigalle - Notre-Dame Cathedral - Panthéon - Luxembourg Garden.



What do you think? Am I missing out on anything great with this route?

Since I’m traveling with two kids, do you see any spots on these routes that might be a bit risky safety-wise? 🏴‍☠️

We’re not big museum fans, so we’re not planning to visit any—unless it rains, of course! 😄

One last little question: are there any protests planned in Paris on the weekend of August 16-17? 🙂 Thanks for reading! 😎

Hi everyone, I’m arriving on a long trip at Charles de Gaulle Terminal 2 and would love to take a shower. I’ve already contacted the airport hotels, but they only offer day rates starting at 10 AM, and I land at 5:30 AM... The Yotel capsules are only accessible if you have a ticket for Terminal 2E. And airline lounges without a loyalty program charge at least **115 €** for access that includes a shower 😩. Is there another option? Thanks for your help!

Starting July 5, 2025, swimming will be allowed in the Seine in Paris for the first time since 1923. Three free sites will open: Bercy (12th arrondissement), Grenelle (15th arrondissement), and Bras Marie (4th arrondissement).

These areas will be monitored and may temporarily close in case of pollution or unfavorable weather conditions.

Opening hours and access conditions will be updated daily on the paris.fr website.

This project is part of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games legacy and aims to provide new relaxation spaces for Parisians and visitors.

Would you be up for giving it a try?

Hi everyone, I’d like to suggest a restaurant meet-up around the theme of home exchanges—a concept I’ve been practicing for a year now, and I’m thrilled with it. I’ll share some insights about home swapping. The meet-up is at **Au bon couscous** on Sunday, June 8th at 1 PM, with a max of 12 people and several associations involved. Everyone pays for their own meal—it’s really good and affordable. My aunt’s been doing this for 20 years, and my sister too. I’m totally sold on this way of vacationing: it’s more social, super budget-friendly, and all about sharing.

I’ll reserve a specific number of spots at the restaurant, so please only come if you’ve signed up.

After the meal, I’m also proposing an optional relaxed walk from Saint-Michel to Gare de Lyon. Looking forward to meeting you! Giant Tortoise Sofi

Hi everyone, We’re organizing a week-long bike trip for a group of scouts. I’ve already mapped out a route using Géovélo (travel option). The teens will take the train to Nemours (or a bit beyond) and then follow the Loire à Vélo route for a good stretch (until Nevers, which they’ll bypass to the west). After Nevers, things get a bit trickier. I also wanted to avoid Moulins, so I planned for them to follow the Allier’s west bank and cross near Châtel-de-Neuvre. I’m having some doubts about the route and really want to steer clear of busy main roads as much as possible. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the route I’ve chosen, plus any tips you might have. I saw there’s the V70 veloroute, but I decided against it after hearing it has some *very* road-heavy sections.

We’re a family of 7 arriving from Montreal at Charles de Gaulle in August 2025. We’re looking for transport to get to our rental. Any tips? Thanks

we’ve got a 1.5-hour layover in Paris—we’re arriving by TGV and then catching an Air France flight to MONTREAL

At the Louvre, after visiting the "Revisiting Cimabue" exhibition...

Hi,

I'm looking for a train to get to Orly Terminal 4—I'm leaving from Charleroi in Belgium.

Does it seem complicated?

Hi there,

I’m Belgian with three kids, and I’m looking for a neighborhood in Paris where we could spend two nights that has the following advantages:

quiet in the evening as central as possible in relation to the main tourist spots safety

Which neighborhood could we stay in to do as much as possible on foot?

We’ll be arriving in Paris by train.

Thanks!

Hi there!

After a few years abroad, I’m spending 3 months vacationing in Europe, starting in Paris. I’d like to buy a SIM card mainly for sending texts and a bit of calling—what do you recommend? Orange or Bouygues Telecom?

Thanks!

Hello, We’d like to stay in PARIS for 4 or 5 days next April or May. (Two adults.)

To avoid renting through AIRBNB, I was thinking of a small hotel near the metro so we can get around easily (see Notre Dame after its restoration, the Musée d'Orsay, the Institut du Monde Arabe if there’s an interesting exhibit, the Maison de la Radio, etc.).

The exact location doesn’t matter—what I’m looking for is a reasonably priced place. (If I say 90 to 100 € per day including breakfast and one meal, does that sound about right?)

Thanks for your insights! (By the way, why is Paris called the CITY OF LIGHTS?)

Hi everyone, I have to leave for Canada and I’ve got a layover at Paris CDG. A friend of mine will be at the airport to see me. What are the options for us to meet up? Can she access my terminal (T2E), or can I leave the international zone?
