Most foreigners come to Paris to get to know each other

Getting to know new people is not only always very exciting and exciting, but often also an unexpected challenge. For many people, it is not quite as easy as it sometimes seems when they just approach another person and really want to get to know them. There are many ways to make this path easier. Two important points that make it easier to address the stranger are of course the other person, but also the location. And no city in the world makes getting to know other people easier than the city of love. So off to France and Paris to meet new people!

A magical city

Paris is not without reason one of the most popular holiday destinations and also a place of longing for many people. The city is just blooming with beauty and magic. The capital of France does not only have the title of city of love because the French are considered masters of love and charm. The city itself offers an incredible number of places that exude their own magic and thus bring people closer and make getting to know each other easier.

The first place that many people think of is the Eiffel Tower. This monumental landmark is one of the symbols for Paris and also the special atmosphere of the city. The magic of the Eiffel Tower can be seen from all sides, whether you are standing on it, under it or looking at it from the Champ-de-Mars. The Champ-de-Mars, the park at the Eiffel Tower, adds even more to the atmosphere with its beautiful buildings, the well-tended green areas and its great location.

A paradise northeast

Another wonderful park is in the northeast of the city. The “Parc des Buttes Chaumont” is particularly suitable to meet new people or to meet a stranger. Built on stone bridges, the park offers incredible panoramas. The highlight of the park is probably a small temple with a viewing platform that offers a great view from above. There are also grottos, stalactite caves and a waterfall, as well as many indigenous and exotic plants and the artificial lake “Lac Buttes Chaumont”. Even with a view of the rest of France, this park remains very special.

These are just a few excerpts from the many places that the City of Love has to offer its residents and visitors and that make it an interesting and desirable place to travel and live for so many people.

Get to know the residents

If you’re already there and want to get to know new people, you don’t have to look far. Even if the French are very peculiar and special, they are very talkative and sociable. Of course, it is always practical to speak French. You are very proud of your own language and rightly so. The sound of French is considered particularly beautiful and melodious.

Of course, there are a few points to consider. The French place great value on charm and courtesy. A few important points to know when first encountering the French are as follows:

-Avoid a big grin. This is not seen as overly fancy and rather American.

-With a normal greeting, do not just say “Hello” or “Good afternoon”. It is considered curt or rude. Bonjour, madame / monsieur “, from the early evening a” Bonsoir, madame / monsieur “it should be. The French value the” my lady “or” my lord “.

-Anyone who starts a handshake to greet them should know that in France they are really pressed and not shaken.

-If you want to rely on the classic cheek kiss, you should know that this, especially with strangers or acquaintances, is often pure air kisses. The number of kisses varies depending on the region and personal relationship. If you are unsure, just let the other person start and determine the number of kisses.

Getting to know a stranger here shouldn’t be difficult if you keep these points in mind. But Paris is not just for getting to know people, the city offers a lot of opportunities to be the icebreaker.
