Today, with the help of true Parisians, we’ve carefully selected the top 8 experiences every woman traveling alone in Paris this summer should know about. Whether you’re into art, music, food, or meaningful connections, these activities will make your solo journey in Paris unforgettable.

1. Night at the Louvre

Did you know the Louvre Museum stays open late on Friday evenings? Instead of facing the usual crowds, enjoy wandering through its grand halls in peace. Imagine standing in front of the Mona Lisa without the hustle around you, or admiring centuries of art history in peaceful solitude. Visiting during these calm hours gives you the space to connect not only with the masterpieces but also with yourself.

2. Visit the Postal Museum (Le Musée de La Poste)

If you’re looking for a quiet, poetic space to spend time alone, the Postal Museum is the perfect spot. This hidden gem offers a reflective experience—and you can even write a letter to your future self and send it by mail. Receiving it later will become a memory you’ll cherish forever.

3. Sunrise or Sunset at Sacré Cœur

The Basilica of Sacré Cœur is one of Paris’s most serene lookout points. Whether at sunrise or sunset, the shifting light over the city creates a magical moment you’ll never forget. It’s also a beautiful photo spot and a place for self-reflection—perfect for solo travelers who want to take it slow and soak in the atmosphere.

4. Wine & Cheese Cave Tasting

No trip to Paris is complete without indulging in wine and cheese! Join a guided cellar tasting experience designed to be enjoyable even for solo travelers. In the underground wine cellars, you’ll learn about French wine and cheese pairings while experiencing them with all your senses. It’s not just a tasting—it’s a gift to yourself and a memory to savor.

5. Meet Fellow Travelers in a Parisian Café

Traveling solo doesn’t mean being alone the entire time. Paris is known for its artistic and cozy cafés, which are the perfect places to meet others. If you’re feeling like sharing stories or making new friends, open the NomadHer app and connect with fellow women travelers nearby. You might even discover hidden local cafés through Parisian friends you meet along the way.

6. Get Your Portrait Sketched in Montmartre

If you want to experience Paris through a local lens, head to Place du Tertre in Montmartre and have your portrait drawn by a Parisian artist. It’s a magical way to feel like the muse of a romantic Parisian film while taking home a one-of-a-kind souvenir. This little piece of art will forever remind you of your solo adventure.

7. Paris Jazz Festival

Looking for a mix of music, nature, and relaxation? The Paris Jazz Festival is hosted throughout the summer in the middle of a lush botanical garden. Spread out a picnic blanket on the grass, enjoy live jazz, and let yourself feel at home in Paris. It’s a wonderful way to blend in with locals and spend a perfect summer day.

8. Outdoor Concerts at Luxembourg Gardens

From jazz trios to classical ensembles and folk bands, Luxembourg Gardens hosts free outdoor concerts all summer long. Find a shady spot, lean back, and let the music set the mood. Surrounded by locals, you’ll experience Paris like one of them—slow, relaxed, and full of charm.
