You are travelling solo in Paris? Here are some travel tips for solo female travellers in Paris by the NomadHer team.
Be careful with Pick Pocket!
This is such a cliche that you will often hear from people visiting Paris that there are lots of pickpockets. Well, it is true! Even the true Parisians always take care of belongings like putting their bags always front. It seems like there are lots of pick-pocketers in Paris as it is a hub of shopping and they know better than anyone else that people carry cash or a credit card when they visit the famous touristic places. There are several tricks that these pick-pocketers use, to share with you:
1. They work as a team. One might try to help you carry your luggage, and offer you help while another might try to take your stuff from your pocket or a small bag that you carry. Sorry, before taking an offer from a stranger, reflect on whether you can truly trust this person.
2. They will take your stuff before getting off the tram. Yes, so don’t try to use your phone if possible. What usually happens, these people will keep an eye on your fancy new iphone or galaxy phone and when the metro door starts to close, they will take out your phone from your hands and get off from the metro. When you try to get off to catch them? It is too late. Don’t expect too much from Parisien police. Sorry, but these cases happen too often and there is almost 0.01 % chance that you can get your phone back.
3. Never ever put your bags or stuff on the terrace chair. I know you might just put your bags in a Parisien terrace because you think it is so authentic to sip your espresso at a Parisien terrace and look at people passing by. Well, before that be careful for your bags, you never know what will happen.
Sadly, if something happens during your travel, whether you predicted or not it can ruin your travel mood and we don’t want this to happen to you. Trust in your gut! Bon voyage (Enjoy your travel in French!)
