Four cities in eleven nights sounds like a lot but the pacing worked well for solo travel, enough time in each place to actually settle rather than just tick boxes. Nice gave me an easy, relaxed start. By the time I reached Paris I felt confident navigating alone, and the Louvre queue system made seeing the Mona Lisa less chaotic than I expected. Marseille's old port at dusk with dinner by the water was a proper highlight, calm and unhurried. Lyon closed the trip out on a quieter, more local note which I appreciated after the bigger cities.
Went alone and never once felt unsafe or lost, which says a lot about how well the route was planned.
Lyon's traboules were such a fun discovery, felt like a proper hidden-history hunt.
Paris was magical as expected, but eating out alone there got expensive fast, every half-decent restaurant near the sights charged a premium for a single cover. Nice and Lyon were far kinder to a solo wallet.
Paris was magical as expected but eating out alone there got expensive fast, every decent restaurant near the tourist spots charged a premium. Nice and Lyon were far kinder on this front. Trip itself was well organised though.
Travelling solo through France sounded intimidating before I left but Nice Old Town eased me into it gently, wandering those little squares alone with a coffee was exactly the reset I needed. Paris obviously delivers on the Eiffel Tower and Louvre front, though I will admit the Mona Lisa crowd was a lot to handle by myself.
