    Loved this! So in love with your photos as well. Paris is beautiful and it’s definitely on my bucket list of places to travel. How long would you recommend to stay in Paris? Would a week be long enough? x

    • A week is definitely long enough to see the main sites!

    Hello! Greats tips! I will be taking my first solo trip (ever) to Paris (never been) in a few weeks (yippie !!) and I was wondering about cab/metro safety, especially at night. Any tips for solo female travelers?

      Hi Lupe! How wonderful! One of the gals on my team used to live in Paris 🙂 The metro is pretty safe to take – even at night, though you always do want to be aware of your surroundings. There are some sketchier parts of Paris though, so I would read up on areas to avoid at night, though as a whole I haven’t had any issues. One thing to note (and this might seem silly) but don’t smile on the metro – smiling can be seen as an invitation or flirting with someone, while it’s common in the US to maybe smile if you’re feeling uncomfortable. Also make sure to keep your purse/backpack zipped up and watch out for pickpockets. I hope that helps!

        Oh wow thank you for the heads up on smiling! I would’ve got myself into some trouble because I’m always smiling at everyone! I’m super excited for my trip!
