Postcard from Paris


Toute seule à Paris

Paris is not only a great destination for couples, but it is also the place to meet new people for solo travellers.

We all know Paris is “la ville d’amour” the city of love. But according to Karen Fawcett, an American travel journalist, it is a great destination for everyone. Paris is full of surprises and even worth visiting for solo travellers.

There are many ways to meet new people in Paris, like at a cybercafé or a regular café, in the park, etcetera. If you want a chat you shouldn’t be too shy to strike up a conversation. Go to a café, take a coffee and you would be surprised of the number of French singles who envy to speak English. You might even make new acquaintances.

Another way to meet new people is by popping into a wine bar. Sipping a lovely red wine and sharing the taste preferences are good ways to meet new singles.

Boat rides and strolling through parks are more structured ways of meeting people. There are many walking tours for Anglophone visitors. If you want to meet cultural people you should join up an English-language guided museum tour.

Are you a bookworm and do you want to meet someone who is just as fond of books as you are, you should go to The American Library or to Shakespeare and co. On Tuesday nights and Sunday afternoons there are readings which are attractive to all sorts of people. It is definitely worth checking out!

If you are too afraid to encounter people and you’re not the kind of type heading off to Paris “tout seul” alone, it is always possible to start by chatting on the internet. And if you don’t, there is no need to worry. Paris is also worth visiting on your own.

So “allons-y à Paris” let’s go to Paris and enjoy the various delights of this city.
