Totally agree that St. Germain is the best area for first-timers (or any timers). We be visiting Paris in May and will be staying in Latin Quarter (almost St. Germain).

Love the vid. Simple and straight to point where to go for first time Paris tourist (which will
be us this coming summer). Thank you!!

St Germaine, agree, not Monmartre too far out for a first timer. Le Marais, yes. But the ultimate central is the first, love it.

I am so excited to
See this video. I am going soon and planning. I can’t wait. My husband is going for a work trip. And he isn’t excited to go the Paris. He is a county man and doesn’t like big cities but this was a place I want to explore for my life’s buckets list. We need budget friendly, enjoyable and not too hard to get around. But also not going crazy with tourist things more to enjoy being in Paris.

I so agree with you. I was sure you’d say the 7th arrondissement…glad you didn’t. The only thing there is the Eiffel Tower. We always stay in the 6th because it’s very walkable to everything, metro accessible, and the food is terrific.

Thank you. Useful information. We are visiting Paris in mid November.

For the not-first-timers: take a relaxing stroll down Rue Moufftard, explore Parcs Monceau or Buttes Chaumont, walk the Coulée Verte and along the Canal St Martin. Experience Paris more like the Parisians do!

Thank you for this! I have dreamt of going to Paris and my husband and I are finally going and will look for a hotel in St. Germain! ❤

Forget the naysayers. Montmartre is perfect for strolling around and enjoying the atmosphere. Just get there earlier in the morning (not on the weekend) and move away from the crowded hotspots, then explore a bit.

Very informative video, thank you. I’m visiting Paris in July for 3 days before I hop on a cruise in Cannes. I’ve been trying to decide on a location . The trip is for my 17yrs old daughter’s graduation but I also have some elderly family members coming as well. I’m trying to fulfill her wishes with an itinerary as well as locating a safe convenient hotel for my family.

Great video thanks, you helped me to make a decision without having to look through lengthy videos that waffle on :)

Your suggestions are great! Have organised a walking food tour in Le Marais. Last time stayed in an Airbnb in that district and it’s truly marvellous. Each visit I’ve deliberately stayed in a different area to experience the whole city. Cheers from 🇦🇺

St. Germain is not a bad choice but Montmartre I would never choose - too many tourists, nearby Pigalle is the red light district and is really seedy and is too hard to get to. The Marais contains the gay district and is full of noisy activity sometimes late at night and I wouldn't call it romantic Paris or even the "real" Paris. This couple seem like really nice people but they are clearly newbies to Paris. I also wish that they would take an introductory French course to learn proper pronunciation. Consider staying on the Ile St. Louis, around the Musée d'Orsay, near the Parc Monceau, near place de la contrescarpe.

I heard Montmartre in the 18 Arr is a dangerous place near QPV's?

[gregallen]

Stayed in Le Marais in May ‘24. Way less touristy than St. Germain and a reasonable walk to Notre Dame. Loved the neighborhood. Very Paris but I agree on night life lacking. That said, most tourists are beat by 8:00. Go to ‘Bouillon’ the restaurant by Place de la Republique. Great experience that will not break your budget. Line up is intimidating but if there’s only two of you, they will move you in quickly.

Did you have to buy a drinking water when you were there. Was the tap okay?

[nbwall]

Love your videos. It would be great if you could show locations on a map.

[AndrewJames-turt]

Great video and really informative. Which one do you recommend for families out of the 3?

[KB-thjm]

The Latin qtr over Montmartre I think for first timers
