I stayed in Place du Clichy. 2 minutes walk from a metro station, a supermarket, a bank and a bakery, restaurants and a market on some days. Highly recommend it if you are looking for value for money. Next to Montmartre without the price tag.
Place de clichy is the kind of neighborhood that used to be not so great and has become much better with times. And there is a great brasserie there, Le Wepler!
I agree with your selection I just got back from a three week vacation in June. I stayed in the LE Marais district in Paris. I felt very safe especially at night and I traveled solo I loved Paris but as in every big city like New York City etc you need to be aware where not to go . The Parisian people were very helpful and kind to me .All the taxi driver from Algeria were nothing but kind and honest .Taking the bus was fun & easy and a great way to see Paris that cost 2.50 euros .I never take the metro at night Too many sketchy people
Glad you had a great stay. Le Marais is always a good choice!

Do any hotels have working air conditioners? I’m going there in July.
The best amongst many channels to discover Paris and arrange up front for a trip, Thank you.
I agree! Great to hear a resident’s point of view. I love Paris.
You make me blush! I try to make this channel as useful as possible...
Thanks a lot, Anne!
@@paristoptipsAwesome video. Also, I have a very random question. How or where did you get that base map with the neighborhoods? I love cartography and GIS maps, and it looks like a clean Google Map or MapBox or something. I especially like how there are very faint light yellow or orange areas highlighted which show the busy retail and civic activity areas that show up on Google maps.
I really enjoy your videos. I’ve watched a numbers of other UA-cam Paris channels and yours is the best by far. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight of your beautiful city
Ooh! I love receiving such nice comments!
Thank you so much...
My new favorite neighborhood, after my last trip, was Vincennes. It's eastern suburb, so not in the heart of things, but right on the very fast and reliable metro line 1. The fascinating Chateau de Vincennes is right there, the Bois de Vincennes is interesting if you are a walker. Tons of very good local neighborhood restaurants and some really stunningly good bakeries. You'll be commuting to most of the major sights, but the metro makes it very easy.
Vincennes is one of the rare cities in the eastern suburbs of Paris that is considered as chic as the western suburbs. The castle there is also very nice. The only, not so annoying, drawback is night prostitution at Porte de Vincennes and in the Bois de Vincennes.
Please add subtitles words in French for each item being discussed. That way we can visually better remember the Frence names. Thankyou.
Good idea!
This was presented so well. It was visually stunning and calming to watch. The information was organized and easy to follow. You combined attractions, transportation and places to eat nicely. You also put the proximity of the major attractions in context and introduced me to a couple of new ones. Thank you. I have stayed in Montparnasse, the 8th arrondissment and Montmartre. As I am staying for a month this time, I wanted an area that was more residential. I will be staying in Passy(16th). There are excellent views of the Eiffel Tower from so many streets. Your content is always great! You are also helping me with my French. I pay close attention to your pronunciation. Thank you!
Passy is fine! As I said to someone else, the 16th is a little off the busy Parisian life, that's why I would not recommend it for a first visit. But then, it will not be your first😀
Thanks a lot for the very nice words...
Your videos have been so helpful. Thank you.
I'm happy if they can help you!

@@paristoptips Bonjour from Estonia. I really really like all thos videos. Great great job. Well Done. ❤️Merci. Bonne chance pour la suite et Bon Printemps 🌞🌞
Great pointers! We’ve stayed in the Latin Quarter and loved the choice of eateries. Also stayed in an Airbnb in Le Marais, easy walk to many attractions and the river. Tried to stay in different areas on each visit of my 5 visits from 🇦🇺. Your visuals are enticing. Thx.
Thanks for the appreciation. It's a good attitude to try a different neighborhood on each visit. I do the same when I'm visiting the same city many times!
Amazing!
Thanks for the comment!
A wonderful, informed presentation - difficult with so much of interest to convey!
Thanks!
Knowledge is power‼️

The 12th and 15th are my favorite neighborhoods in Paris
The two best sunsets are either from Bercy or parc Citroen
Paris has a place to please everyone...

Always worth considering a nice outer suburb. My first trip to Paris I stayed in Maisons Lafitte which is a very safe, attractive and affluent suburb yet only just of 20 minutes by RER from the bustling central area.
Good tip! Maisons-Lafitte, alike Saint-Germain or Rueil Malmaison, nearby are good places to stay, yet not far from Paris by RER A.
This is one of the best reviews of some great neighborhoods and, rather than parrot the many worthless claimants to being knowledgeable and their boring and ordinary guidebooks, this commentator points out some of the best of authentic Paris and things actually worth seeing, not content to just give the well-known highlights. Nevertheless, there is much more to see and do and he has merely touched upon them. I would like him to do a review of the best of the small museums of Paris.
Thanks so much for the appreciation.🙏
I'm not so much into small museums, though Marmottan-Monet or Jacquemart-André are among my favorites.
very helpful video.. as we are planning to visit June 2024..
Happy if it helps!🙏
Your video presentations are exquisite and Informational. Thank you for sharing. Merci :-)
Many thanks! And glad you like them...🙏
Good content. We are subscribed.
Thanks a lot for your nice comment and your subscription!🙏
I stayed near the Pantheon...nice...then on Avenue Champs Elysees...nice too, and a hotel named Paris J'adore in 17th...that was too good and close to markets. I think I took the best of Paris🗼🗼
The 17th is a nice place to stay, though there is not much to see and do there
We like the 14th, mostly due to a singular lack of tourists and easy access to the Metro. There are not as many restaurants or cafe's as other districts, but more than enough good ones to satisfy all but the most demanding of visitors. Did I say there were very few tourists. Rue Daguerre shopping district recommended, as is the twice weekly local market. Also, the catacombs are nearby, although almost always crowded with [you guessed it] tourists.
I've been living for 5 years near rue Daguerre. Indeed a great place, but a little further away from the city center.
A good selection for those who have no money worries I guess. Just the most expensive touristy areas. If you look long and hard, you might find something nearly reasonable in parts of the 5th and Montmartre. Le Marais should appeal just to Bobos. In the 4 inner arrondissements public transport is irrelevant because the area is small and you can walk everywhere.
I'll be doing shortly a video on 5 excellent value hotels at less than 100€ per night in the heart of Paris
Awesome video. Also, I have a very random question. How or where did you get that base map with the neighborhoods? I love cartography and GIS maps, and it looks like a clean Google Map or MapBox or something. I especially like how there are very faint light yellow or orange areas highlighted which show the busy retail and civic activity areas that show up on Google maps. @paristoptips
Thanks for liking. if you go to Google mymaps (www.google.com/mymaps) you can create your own maps, and there are 9 base maps layers you can choose from. For this video I used "Light political" base map, and I created the layers for every neighborhood. I also use mymaps for my neighborhood discovery videos, with a different base map.
Do you have a video about patisseries and cafes, restaurants to visit? Are there restaurants that serve lighter fare? French food is fairly rich? Love your videos! Thx
Yes I have a series on typical Parisian restaurants, and a video about patisseries in le Marais: you can find them all here ua-cam.com/play/PLlgjce_AjJgcDpEUSUedz7a0iSt1EhCIV.html
There are also plenty of options for vegan or diet food in Paris.
I’ve been devouring all your videos in the past 5 days. They are all very helpful with good information. What’s your perspective on Clamart. We are in a budget and found a good price airbnb in there. Thank you in advance
Clamart is a little far from the south of Paris, but a nice surburbian city with direct access to Paris by tramway.
@@paristoptips thank you for replying so fast.
We are staying in the 11th district. It's seems close to the Maria's area. We look forward to visiting next month.
Yes, it is close, and a more local neighborhood...
Hey ....The Eiffel Tour is a fantastic radio antennae...!!!!!
Indeed.
great video, very informative. However, in terms of safety, how do you see the surroundings of Gare Montparnasse? My family and I will travel to Paris in a few weeks and have booked an Ibis hotel in the area. Your advice will be important for our decision.
Gare Montparnasse is a very busy neighborhood with no excessive security issues than that of big crowds gathering in a very important train station.
Definitely would love to visit Paris or France but to live there is much better. I am an artist myself and Paris is a top destination for people like me. ❤
I'm just a UA-camr, but I also love it 😁
@@paristoptips everyone is drawn to Paris regardless of who you are. ❤
Just discovered your channel. Going for the first time next month. No accomodations booked yet! Please help me choose the best arrondissement for me and my family! Thank you
How many people? Hotel or AirBnB? Historic, romantic, busy neighborhood?
It really depends...
Hi! Thanks so much for making this video, it’s really appreciated! Of all the neighborhoods that you mentioned, which is best for families? I’ll be visiting Paris with my 5yr old! Is there a preference for where to stay?
I would chose either Latin Quarter or Saint-Germain, them being separated by the Luxembourg Garden where it would be great for him/her to play...
Hi 👋 just found your channel today.
My husband and I are thinking of going to Paris in near future.
My husband has gluten allergy. Would you ever consider making gluten-free in Paris special?
I see some people go around gluten free place but I never find how much you can find possible gluten free menu in non-gluten-free restaurants. It’s a challenge topic but I am sure that’s one of the curious part for some people who got allergic problems.Thank you.
I like how you make your video. It’s very clear and easy to understand.
The way you take video is very lovely too.
In fact, I had started doing research for a Paris gluten free video.
I might do that this fall...
@@paristoptips looking forward that. Thank you 😊
@@paristoptips hi 👋 again. Just want to drop an idea for your gluten free video idea. If you can interview some restaurant (not too fancy French restaurants but casual no dress code French restaurants) to ask how easy or difficult to deal with gluten allergic customers. If yes, what’s the option, menu to order, how to order.
Sorry, if this is out of your style, just ignore please 🙏
Thank you anyway for reading my comment.
❤
Thanks
can you make a video about public transportation (train/bus) for people who can't drive or not want to use taxi and HOW specifically to get from Paris to neighboring towns/ villages? like from point A-B, ect.. Thanks in advance
I've already made these videos.
Check Paris Transport Explained part 1 to 5
Hi and #thank #you for most valuable tips 🙏🏻 Would you kindly advise how do you feel about 2nd district? How safe and comfortable it is pls? 😊 Many thanks 🌸
The 2nd arrondissement si a great place to stay at the exception of the extreme North-East.
@@paristoptips Merci merci 🌸🌸 I appreciate your quick reply 😌
We are planning to stay near the Trocadero between the Arc D Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. Will be there mid June.
It's a good neighborhood too, though I did not put it in my first choices, as there's nothing much to see in the 16th.
@@paristoptips thank you. I’m looking forward to our visit. Love all the history..
@Lori Guinan I will staying in 16th for the month of July. What made you chose the area?
@@nyasak721 close to Eiffel, Arc, Champ Elysée and transportation.
Natural combination of gentle music accompanied by plesant tembr of your voice, city sounds, what a great job you did! Thank you! Do you mind taking your time for video of activities with kids, smart & active + family accommodations + skate parks, gaming , escape room activities 🎉 Hartelijk bedankt, groetjes uit Rotterdam.
Thanks 🙏
I should have a video of Paris with kids soon
😊 what was your kids favourite museum or play ground? Thanks in advance for taking your time & joy of sharing ❤ l am happy to share with you the Netherlands 🇳🇱 castles, beaches, concert halls and places to eat & sleep in pure nature 😊
La Cité des sciences et de l'industrie must be the most interesting museum for kids.
😊 thank you so much!
Best video ever! I m visiting paris soon will you pls recommend affordable hotel to stay there.Eiffel tower,louvre museum good food some shopping places and yes safe to stay..Please write me back for any suggestions.
It depends on what is affordable for you.
Look for hotels in the 15th arrondissement
Hi there, any reviews of the 13th arr, especially near tolbiac on rue de tolbiac. Is it safe to walk at night and taking metro back?
Rue de Tolbiac might seem a little scary with lot's of high-rise buildings near metro Olympiades, but it's an OK neighborhood.
@@paristoptipsthanks so much for replying merci, ah ok I have booked a hotel closer to the butte-aux-cailles end. As long as it's safe to walk at night, not too worried about the look I guess.
Closer to Butte aux Cailles will be perfect
Hello…wonderful video as usual…is the Paris metro disability friendly?
Absolutely... not!
The Paris metro is just a nightmare for people with disabilities, unfortunately. Here's the link to a Paris transport map of all stations and their accessibility level: eu.ftp.opendatasoft.com/stif/PlansRegion/Plans/Paris_PMR.pdf
It's appalling!
@@paristoptips Thanks for the super quick response…my feelings exactly…
Yes, sadly...
I stayed in Levallois-Perrett last October as a solo woman and felt very safe overall, was I lucky or is it a safe place to stay?
Levallois is very safe, you're right!
What do you think of Le Petit Beaumarchais Hotel & Spa?
I've never been to this hotel but it's very well situated at the limit of Le Marais a few meters away from Bastille, with lots of very different and enjoyable restaurants around. One of my preferred Japanese restaurant Kagayaki, is just a 2-minute walk away on the boulevard.
The boulevard Beaumarchais is very active, so can be noisy, but I expect the windows would be soundproof.
I would consider it a good choice!
Hello can u suggest a safe place to stay as my daughter is going alone and for the first time
Though, as for all cities, you can never be 100% safe, all the neighborhoods I talk about in the video are fine. I would maybe just avoid Montmartre. It is safe but it's also a place where people party a lot late at night, which she might love, meaning there are also more drunk people in the streets at night, especially in South Montmartre.
I will visit Paris for the very first time next month and I booked an Airbnb apartment in 8th district near champ lyses. Is the 8th district safe and convenient?
Yes, definitely! One of the richest neighborhood...
@@paristoptips Thanks so much.
Hi, planning a trip with my friend for about 3 days in Paris first week in April what is the best budget friendly for the time we want to be able to of course visit the major attractions. ANY FEEDBACK PLEASE FIRST TIME TRAVELERS TO PARIS. THANK U
Between now and March, I'll have a video out about budget friendly hotels in Paris.
Hi its our first time to Paris and we are staying there 2.5 days ... would u recommend staying at Chouette Hôtel? Is it too far and too inconvenient ... we are coming there in the next few weeks.
Thanks a lot
This hotel neighborhood is fine, as is apparently the hotel, with good reviews. But it's quite far south from the main sites to see. With metro, it would take you 30 minutes to go to the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower, 40 minutes to Le Marais or Montmartre. Staying a week that wouldn't be a problem, but just for 2,5 days, there will be a lot of time on transport. For just a little more, may I suggest you looking at Hotel Opéra d'Antin, Best Western Hôtel Opéra Drouot, or maybe Tonic Hotel Saint-Germain. All 3 would be more central, the two first ones near the Opéra, and the last one in the hearth of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
Merci beaucoup. @@paristoptips
We are looking to stay in the 9th on Rue de Londres very near Gare Saint-Lazare... is that are safe at night? Thank you.
Yes, it is. And lot's of restaurants around
@@paristoptips fantastic. Thank you very much.
Latin Quarter was " Latin Quarte" 40 yrs ago..
?
If you could suggest a hotel for first timer?
What price per night?
I'll be staying near La Bastille, Is this a good neigborhood?
Yes, it is, just near Le Marais. There are lots of bars there, so it can be a bit noisy in the evening, but it's lively
@@paristoptips at Richard Lenoir Avenue, Citadine Bastille Marais Apparthotel
This place should be OK
Do you do tours?
No, it's not something I do 😁
Can anyone tell us WHERE TO STAY SAFE IN NON-TOURISTIC PARIS where ORDINARY Parisiennes live? THANKS
You can stay in the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th or 17th arrondissements and part of the 18th, which are not touristy yet nice to stay in
I do not recommend Bouillon Chartier. The food is horrible, and they cheat customers by overcharging. Check your bills carefully. Check the prices.
I haven't had any of these issues, but sorry you had a bad experience
Agreed. Food is mediocre at best and the service is rushed and charmless. Best to go and look at the interesting space and leave.
What about Vanves
Vanves as a city would be OK. Porte de Vanves, inside Paris is a so-so neighborhood...
I don’t see most of the links you refer to in your presentation.
I've doublechecked, they are all on the top right corner of the screen.
can i stay in 15th arrondisments?
Absolutely. But you will have a little more transport than if you stayed in the heart of Paris.
You should show the names of the sights you are mentioning in the video. It’s hard to get their names just by your pronunciation.
If they are pronounced in the video, just turn on the captions. Everyting I say is always in the captions.
@@paristoptipsyou mean like the music Carnival 😂
how about in the 18-20th arrondissements? 😂
Part of the 18th is OK, especially Montmartre, part of it is to be avoided. And the 20th also has places to avoid. Check this video: ua-cam.com/video/hP1dzQ1aW2A/v-deo.html
Your videos have way too too many Ads, Ads every 2 minutes is ridiculous, 5 minutes in already 3 ads. 10 Ads in a single video is insane. It's very difficult to stay watching. I think if you want to keep your viewers stay watching your videos you should look at the the flood of ads you put in. Now I'm hesitant to follow your channel or watch any other videos of yours because of the amount of Ads.
I don't choose the number of ads, UA-cam does!
15.00 a month and all of the world of UA-cam is yours without any ads ever! Way better than Amazon or apple music or vevo or Spotify...
Never stopping and never looked back
Fun video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign langua
Nice advice...
Brilliant suggestion.... Noted...... From a closet polyglot
