Planning tips for solo travelers to France
Safest destinations in France for single travelers
From cosmopolitan Paris to sun-drenched Nice, a solo trip to France offers hubs where women, LGBTQIA+ travelers, and other marginalized explorers feel both safe and welcomed. Tours featured in Bookmundi routes already spotlight the friendliest corridors—Mont Blanc villages, Normandy’s coast, Provence vineyards, and the Riviera—destinations praised for low violent-crime and helpful locals.
In Paris, a dense metro system, CCTV, and English signage ease mobility, while Le Marais’ rainbow-draped cafés showcase the capital’s inclusive soul. Down south, Nice’s relaxed Port district and Promenade des Anglais host longstanding Pride events and a thriving queer scene, underscoring day-and-night acceptance.
Compact Lyon, Bordeaux, and bike-friendly Strasbourg add well-lit streets, late trams, and a student buzz that puts solo roamers at ease. English is widely understood in tourist centers. Violent crime is rare; petty pick-pockets are the main nuisance.
Cost of traveling to France alone
France is not a very affordable destination to travel to. Independent solo adventurers in France typically budget around USD 60–100 per day for hostels or modest hotels, meals, transport, and attractions, while luxury group tours can average over USD 400 daily. At Bookmundi, our solo trips to France start at just USD 144 per person per day, which include shared accommodation, transportation, select meals, guided experiences, and bilingual support. If you’d prefer your own space, private rooms incur a single-supplement fee that varies by tour and hotel category.
