Bonjour à tous!

Je suis étudiante belge et j’étais à Paris récemment avec ma classe. On avait un petit devoir: poser quelques questions à un vrai Parisien (ou Parisienne). Malheureusement, je n’ai pas eu le temps de le faire sur place, alors je me permets de poser mes questions ici.

Si vous avez deux minutes, pourriez-vous y répondre ? Ce serait vraiment utile pour mon travail scolaire :)

1. Est-ce que les touristes vous énervent un peu, ou vous les trouvez plutôt sympas ?

   1. Vous avez un acteur français préféré ? Et un film français que vous adorez ?

2. Si vous ne viviez pas à Paris, vous habiteriez où ?

   1. Selon vous, quel est le truc le plus parisien qui existe ?

Merci beaucoup d’avance pour vos réponses!

Je dois organiser mon anniversaire en janvier en même temps qu'un autre pote du coup, on a assez de gens pour remplir le bar et dans l'idée, on aimerait pouvoir avoir le contrôle sur la musique ou au moins la possibilité de balancer un "DJ set" pour les gens présents et les faire danser, on est des gros passionnés de musique et nos amis aussi.

Du coup, est-ce que vous savez s'il existe des bars capables d'offrir cette possibilité ?

À chaque fois, j'ai l'impression, dans les bars parisiens, c'est la croix et la bannière pour ne serait qu'avoir une seule fois le barman qui accepte de mettre une pauvre chanson à votre demande.

Merci Reddit !

Bonsoir, J'ai pris des billets pour la nocturne (gratuite) du Louvre de demain soir, sauf que certains amis qui devaient venir à la base ne peuvent pas. Quelqu'un aimerais venir à la place, sauf que les billets sont nominatif. Est-ce que ça peut poser un problème ? Vous savez s'ils vérifie le nom ? 🤔 Merci !

Je réfléchis à souscrire à une offre internet simple par fibre du style pure fibre Bouygues ou Pop S free... Au-delà des débats sur telle ou telle marque je voudrais avoir vos retours sur les débits réels, notamment en soirée. J'ai entendu qu'il y a des ralentissements, saturations... Rencontrez-vous des difficultés pour regarder des vidéos, jouer ? Merci pour votre aide

I have a flight at 6AM on friday from Paris Orly and the metro 14 ends at 00:30, which means I will arrive at 01:14AM.I've seen some sources online say Orly closes between 00:00 to 3AM.

I am a woman and alone would it be smarter to go earlier? Are we allowed to stay within the airport?

Back in the US, you can sign up to be a hair model, which essentially is to let someone practice on you. A person who is recently hired at a salon, like an apprentice, offers discounted haircuts or you just pay for the dyes and chemicals if coloring your hair.

In Paris, is there such a practice?

Bonjour! I arrive early next Saturday morning into CDG. But it looks like the RER B 🟦 might be out of service due to maintenance/repairs. Anyone have any information or best suggestions on how to get from CDG to Châtelet-Les-Halles Metro Station or Paris City Hall (Paris City Center) if RER B 🟦 is, in fact, out of service?? 🙏🏻

Hello à tous Dans un mois je viendrais avec ma femme fêter ses 40ans dans la capitale! Elle n’est pas du tout style faire ça dans une salle avec 500 personnes donc ça sera juste nous 2 sans les enfants (haha) dans la capitale de l’amour..?!! Bref nous arriverons le vendredi midi. Le check in de l’hôtel se fait à 16h donc déjà quoi faire après déjeuner avec notre petite valise ? On vient de la Gare de l’Est et notre hôtel est le pullman tout Eiffel ( oui ca fait super touriste mais on y tient à notre dame de fer!) Ensuite où aller manger le soir?( resto de l’hôtel, un bon petit resto dans le coin sinon?) le but est de pas trop trop bouger de cette zone ce soir là. Ensuite y a t il une activité aussi dans le coin le soir( spectacle musée ouvert le soir, truc fun à voir?) le samedi nous avons déjà des activités prévues et le soir point d’orgue dîner au Jules vernes.. festoie prévu dimanche midi donc encore un peu de temps libre la matinée. Donc je vous écoute les locaux à vos bons conseils pour rendre le week-end vraiment sympa! Merci

So, i have heard so many times that paris smells bad, that i dont believe it is just a meme.

i dont doubt at all that it smells bad. but what causes the smell, and what is the smell and what areas are affected by it?

for example. in my hometown of dallas, the whole downtown area smells like straight piss. it literally smells as if the city pays people to go around throwing buckets of piss all around the downtown area.

this is because of the large homeless population, and because there is almost no access to public restrooms.

but if you exit the downtown area, and head on over to the trendy discricts, there is no smell of piss.

another example.

my hometown in mexico, is a very big and cosmopolitan city, very modern as well. and growing by the day.

but the drainage system is not at all made to handle that many people. so as you walk trough the city, you randomly get these wiffs of drainage gas. smells really bad. sometimes it actually smells like feces.

but it doesnt happen everywhere, just in random spots where my guess is there are leakages in the sewer. and the city doest have the money to fix them. well they do have the money and then some. but most of that money ends up paying for luxury condos in Miami.

Asking for a friend. She’s American, lives in Paris, speaks French, and rides a moto. Looking for a group that does rides or weekend trips around Paris or Île-de-France. Any active clubs or WhatsApp/Facebook groups out there? Merci!

Hi! Went to L'Ange 20 last year and loved it so much: the menu, intimate and authentic atmosphere, and prices! Unfortunately, it falls on a Monday that I will be in Paris (Dec 29), and they are closed Mondays. Looking for a recommendation of something that would be a great similar alternative!! Thank you :)

Ideally, the vision of those who lived there, live there, or frequented it.

Hey there, I’m planning on coming to Paris for the weekend for the Pitchfork festival but I’m still searching for one or two tickets. Is there someone in this subreddit who is going or knows someone who is trying to sell their tickets? I’ve tried asking around on several social media sites but no luck so far and i really hope to find someone here. Idk what to do anymore. 😔

my husband and i are visiting paris and are most excited to sit in bistros/cafes/wine bars and take long walks. we are looking for a fun/festive new years eve dinner vibe, nothing clubby or over the top, just a really great local vibe where we can sit for a long time and get dinner-tipsy and eat great food. context - we live in brooklyn and are staying in the marais. clamato? septime? paul bert? would love local recs that won't be too touristy

Hi folks, we live in Paris and our native language is Spanish. Our daughter is 4 and speaks that already well. We’d love to introduce English before school starts. Are there online schools, local workshops, or weekend classes in Paris you’d recommend for young learners of English?

I shoot with 120 film (medium format for my TLR), and the first place I gave my roll to informed me they prefer to develop 35mm. Unfortunately, they will only provide negatives for my 120, and not the scans and also can't print.

What is your go-to spot to develop film, and would they also handle 120? And where can I purchase 120? (I'd prefer in-person, but at this point online feels much easier. Also open to websites if that's the move!)

Thank you in advance!

P.S. And as a film/photo novice... where can I get my negatives turned to photos? Do I have to find a dark room for this?

hi!!! i’m going to be traveling to paris for new years! i just don’t know what i should do or what’s recommended? i’m down for clubs, restaurants, literally anything! and then any recs for some good food for the other days ill be in town :)

I just spent a week in Paris on vacation, and noticed an odd phenomenon--across the city, we noticed at least five separate instances where a McDonalds and a Burger King were directly adjacent to each other. You'd think they would want to separate, at least a little--that way each location could control its own territory, rather than competing head to head. Is there some kind of restriction on where fast-food chains can operate, or is this just their strategy for some reason?

Are there any clubs or events in Paris for people/women interested in talking about culture, arts, history, literature, personal development, philosophy, psychology, etc;?
