Four French cities alone taught me more about myself than any trip before. Nice's old town markets, Paris lit up at night around the Eiffel Tower, Marseille's basilica views, and Lyon's secret passageways, each city had its own personality. Eating solo at a proper Lyonnaise bouchon on the last night felt like a fitting finale to a gastronomic journey.
Uncovering the hidden traboules of Lyon on my own felt like being handed a secret map to the city. Marseille was rougher around the edges than Nice or Paris but the basilica view made up for it. Only gripe is Paris hotel checkin took forever after a long train journey.
As a woman travelling alone I felt safe from Nice's promenade right through to Lyon's old passageways. Marseille is grittier than the rest but that basilica view over the sea more than earned my sore legs.
As a woman travelling alone I felt safe throughout this itinerary, from Nice's promenade walks to Lyon's old traboules. Paris nights near the Eiffel Tower were busier than expected but never unsafe.
Great cities, but the train from Nice up to Paris ran badly late and cost me most of a day I'd set aside for the Louvre.
Solo pacing on this trip was perfect, enough structure without feeling like a group tour.
