If you’re looking for a step-by-step guide to the perfect solo travel in Paris, it’s your lucky day! This article aims to make your lonely days in Paris more interesting, exciting, and enjoyable.
In recent years, solo travel has been a coveted goal, not only among singles but also married people. More and more fathers and mothers, seniors, students, and young graduates venture into what over the centuries have been called journeys of formation.
Actually, solo travel to Paris is nothing new. In the past, this form of travel was very popular, especially among intellectuals from Central and Northern Europe. Many American writers and poets also chose to visit Paris to improve themselves and their creative talent.
Nowadays, solo travel to Paris (and also to other popular destinations) is often a way to regenerate the spirit and meet new people. Also, for some, it’s a way to discover new self-confidence and grow.
As we have already said, our goal is to make your solo experience even lighter, so we want to suggest you the best luggage storage facilities in Paris, all located just a few meters from the main attractions.

Finally, we have reached the heart of this article! Now that you’ve gotten rid of all the weight, you can focus on what you really want to do: sightseeing! If you’re ready, let’s get started!
The name of this district comes from its historical function: it’s always been home to Paris University.
In the Latin Quarter, you’ll also find the renowned Shakespeare bookstore, a historic location that in the 1920s was often visited by illustrious persons, such as Ezra Pound and Ernest Hemingway.
The Latin Quarter is also rich in monuments, elegant buildings, and parks, including the Jardin du Luxembourg, a wonderful public park opened by Marie de’ Medici back in 1612.
The gardens, which cover 25 hectares, are furnished in English and French style. Between the two designs, there’s a rich orchard, a huge apiary, and some greenhouses. The park houses 106 sculptures and the monumental “Medici Fountain”.
Inside the park, you’ll also find one of two reproductions of the Statue of Liberty.
In short, this neighborhood is ideal if you love to walk, have an aperitif, or if you have your sketch pad with you.
Undoubtedly, one of the top museums to visit is the Louvre, which will take up most of your day.
Other museums you shouldn’t miss are: Musée D’Orsay and the City of Science and Industry. The former, located on the left bank of the Seine, houses many Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces. For example, here is the famous Starry Night Over the Rhône by Vincent Van Gogh.
The second (Cité des Sciences et de L’industrie) is the perfect museum for all those who love science. It’s situated in the 19th arrondissement – more precisely in the Parc de la Villette, one of the largest green spaces in the city.
You’ll be accompanied by local tour guides who’ll take you to the most important attractions and also recommend the best restaurants in the city.
In this city located 19 km from Paris, waiting for you is the marvelous Royal Palace (also known as the castle), a grand royal residence renowned for its gardens and musical fountains.
The most convenient way to get from Paris City Center to Versailles is to take bus 171 from Pont de Sèvres. The journey takes about 30 minutes and costs only €3.55 (one way).
Alternatively, you can take the RER C (yellow line) and get off at Versailles Château Rive Gauche station. From this station, however, you will have to walk another 10 minutes to reach the Royal Palace.
Getyourguide, for example, offers a Private 3-Hour Food Tour with 10 Tastings, from tasty tapenades of Provence to sweet macarons made by a true artisan.
You can book it directly online (and show your e-ticket to the operator).
If you change your mind, you can cancel it at least 24 hours in advance.
