Summertime in Paris, France
Our take
Get ready to embark on an epic summertime adventure in Paris, France! During our exhilarating 10-day trip, we immersed ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of this stunning city, exploring its surreal architecture and bustling streets. With the help of a convenient tram pass and Google Maps, we navigated our way through unforgettable sights like the Arc de Triomphe and Sacré-Cœur. My favorite memory? Savoring mouthwatering dishes at L'Annexe Montmartre, surrounded by the charm of cobblestone streets.
| | These pictures are part of a 10-day trip that we recently took to Paris. We were staying with family of a friend and tried to get in as much as possible. Even in all the time we were there we absolutely couldn't hit everything. There's so much to do! This was my first time going to Europe and I was absolutely astonished by the surreal architecture there. It was also my first time being in a pretty big city and I absolutely loved the bustle of what was going on. We got everywhere by tram by just buying a weekly pass and it was easy to understand with the help of Google maps. Food favorite: Montmartre was my favorite arrondissement with its cobblestone streets. While there, we went to a restaurant named L'Annexe Montmartre. I got the duck breast but every dish anyone ordered was absolutely amazing. Images featured: Arc de Triomphe, Palace of Versaillles, Sacré-Cœur, Saint-Chapelle, and other photos from Montmartre.

- My first time in Paris surpassed my expectations, which where already really high!I’d heard all kinds of things about Paris over the years — and not all of them flattering. I’m a bit of a Paris enthusiast, and although my French is charmingly archaic, it’s still good enough to ask for croissants with dignity. From the moment I arrived, the ambience of the city completely won me over. The architecture in the areas I visited was stunning and gave me exactly those “Paris vibes” I’d always imagined. A lot of the negative things I’d heard — rats, garbage everywhere — didn’t match what I actually saw. Is the city going through some sort of revival? I’ve seen plenty of videos showing messy tourist spots, so I was pleasantly surprised to find the opposite. I stayed five nights in a hotel right across from the Adidas Arena, not exactly close to the center. I took trains and the metro constantly, and even though the ride was around 35–40 minutes, everything worked smoothly. I never felt unsafe at any hour — maybe being Latin American has trained me well in danger radar. I know I’m rambling, but the point is: despite the crowds, the occasional pickpocket, and the pushy vendors, I fell in love with Paris. It’s modern, definitely not the Paris of 80s movies, yet it refuses to lose its charm. Even with the vendors around, the Eiffel Tower from Trocadéro and the bridge is still magical. Montmartre was a highlight — absolutely beautiful, surprisingly not overcrowded, and with views that genuinely took my breath away. In those five nights I walked endlessly and managed to see Versailles, the Louvre, the Panthéon, Notre-Dame, Les Invalides… even a tiny cheese museum on Île Saint-Louis. Everything impressed me. Now that I’ve checked off the most iconic spots, I can’t wait to return and discover the Parisian’s Paris — if that makes sense. Here are some photos I took! submitted by /u/manucci25 [link] [comments]
- One Day in Paris: Chaos, Coffee, and Ridiculously Good Architecture (day trip 2025)Spent a day in Paris in 2025 and honestly… I get the hype now. The architecture alone feels like walking through a living museum. Every street had something worth stopping for. I had some incredible coffee and pastries (no surprise there), met a few genuinely kind people, and just wandered most of the day soaking it all in. I did notice pickpockets around some of the busy tourist spots, so definitely keep your guard up, but it didn’t take away from the experience. Somewhere between aimlessly walking, staring up at buildings, and sitting at cafés, I realized I was kind of falling in love with the city. One day wasn’t enough… I already know I’ll be back.

- First time visiting ParisI did not have high expectations of the city. I had been told that it was dirty, full of rats, and that people were rude - but everything turned out to be completely the opposite. The city was very clean, the people were friendly, and even the bus drivers were kind and did their best to help us. We visited: - Eiffel Tower - Louvre - Arc de Triomphe - Jardin des Tuileries / Jardin du Luxembourg, along with so many random parks, which were also beautiful - Notre Dame - A cruise on the Seine - A game at Parc des Princes (vs Nantes) - Petit Palais - Square Louise Michel - Galeries Lafayette One thing I noticed throughout the entire trip was how fashion-conscious everyone is. People are very stylish, attractive, and relaxed. Many times, I found myself just observing people in the metro or sitting by the Seine because they looked like they had stepped out of a Netflix movie or series. Also, a big thumbs up for the bike lanes, which are usually located next to the car lanes. A lot of people seem to prefer cycling rather than using the metro or bus. What I liked the most about Paris is that the city is full of trees and parks, not just roads without any charm. The only downside was that many places were crowded, and a lot of young people didn’t speak English, so we had to communicate using gestures or Google Translate. I will definitely visit Paris a few more times in the future. Merci et au revoir, Paris. submitted by /u/Jazzlike-Scarcity-18 [link] [comments]
- 10 days south west France trio. Montpellier, Sete, Nimes, ToulouseJust got back from travelling around the south west of France for 10 days. Started in Montpellier which is a really nice city which has lots of tapas which is influenced by its somewhat close proximity to the Spanish border. Foodwise they also have fish and chips everywhere which as a Brit I had to try and compare for science. Some places seem to put curry sauce under the batter coat which is a really tasty combination. I got the tram to the free zoo in Montpellier which was a nice way to spend a morning before getting the tram to the nearby Carnon beach which was really busy with people sailing their boats, playing volleyball. The centre of Montpellier is very walkable and ended up meeting quite a few cool people who I met up with over the course of a few nights for drinks. I did a day trip to Sete on the Monday which was Easter Monday and the trains and the city were both ram packed with people. The canals and boats are gorgeous to admire. It was a bit overwhelming so I headed out of the centre and walked along the coast and discovered some coves with really nice quiet beaches. The weather was beautiful so I wish I had brought some swimming gear with me. The next day I did a day trip to Nimes and saw the Roman Amphitheatre and the canals. Beautiful city. After a few more days in Montpellier I headed to Toulouse, after throwing my bag in to my accommodation and grabbing a baguette, I bumped in to some other fellow solo travellers who I ended up playing cards with whilst sitting in the sun at pont neuf. We got drinks from the nearby Carrefour and a 5 euro pizza from a nearby takeaway and made the most of the evening sat by the Riverside. It was very wholesome trip and I met some great people. I would definitely recommend any of these cities for either a short weekend trip or like I did as part of a 10 day multi city trip. Edit: Title should say trip not trio - typing error Images 1-10 are Montpellier Images 11 - 13 are Sete Images 14 - 16 are Nimes Images 17 - 20 are Toulouse submitted by /u/tommodacoolio [link] [comments]
