Super fun and beautiful city. I find Parisians are actually very patient and warm if you at least attempt to speak French; in my experience, most people who complain that they’re rude are the ones making zero effort to speak the language. Expensive though and not very easy to meet other nomads.

I tried to like Paris, but it is definitely not my kind of destination for digital nomading. Spent half a year in Paris and here are my Pros and Cons:
Pros:
* Beautiful City
* Good places to relax in (bars, cafes)
* There’s live music bars or jams all the way through the week
* The cheeses and wines
Cons:
* Expensive
* Traffic is hell, pay attention when crossing the street (even if you have the priority)
* People act annoyed if you don’t speak French — not all young people speak English here — one of the least English-friendly places I’ve been to
* Most cafes are not friendly to laptop workers — there are cafes where you can work but you might need to pay a fee per hour
* Can be quite polluted sometimes
Overall, I would only consider Paris for a short chill trip. Plenty of other better places for a longer stay that involves working as well.

Parisians are not as rude as some people say, most of them speak English when your approach is respectful, and you try to speak French, and begin by saying Bonjour, or Bon soir. It is very expensive, but like any other big city, there are always alternatives to different type of food or lodging. Public transportation is very efficient and not that expensive.

Parisians tend to be rude and arrogant. The city is nice but there are much nicer places in other parts of France.
Also the people make no effort to speak english 80% of the time so do bring a french/english dictionary

People are very rude. This place is very crowded and silly expensive and not very nice for all it talked up to be. The place is can be very ghetto.

Not a very «freelance/artist» friendly city.
The look of someone working inside a coffeeshop is still unusual and unappreciated.
Extremely not accessible and not disable friendly (Metro, bus, building, coffeeshops and restaurants…)

Ask a question
I’m thinking to head over to France during the winter and I’m looking for recommendations on a good French town that has beach and is warm enough during the winter.
What are your favourites? Any recommendation is appreciated.
Cerbère is really nice, next to the border with Spain. So beautiful. Not much people but always sunny and quiet when it’s not holiday-time
Thanks, I shall check it out the photos look nice!
Hey @amin,
Winter in France is not really warm… your best bet would be in South of France / Corsica.
My recommandations would be :
— Cannes (a lot of nice beach, you aslo have the lérins island that are amazing)
— Antibes or Menton (if you are looking for something little bit smaller)
— Nice (no sand beach and big city)
In Corsica, I can recommand : Calvi, Ajaccio and Bonifacio !
Have fun !
Hey Guillaume,
Thanks for your recommendations!
Which of these places in Corsica, Antibes or Menton is your favourite and why?
I’m a dual citizen of America and France with my resident based in the America. Can I travel to the EU using my French passport?
It highly depends on which country you’re flying in to. There’s lots of talk on the chat about this and a few Americans have been able to enter via Italy, Croatia and a few other countries.
If you have an EU citizenship, you should almost certainly be able to enter the EU though.
Hi, I live in France and I planned to travel to Chiang Mai in the 01/24.
We are in December, do you think there is enough time to vaccination, visa?
Can I take a touristic visa from 01/24 to 04/22? Do I need to bight round trip flight ticket to get it?
Thank you
