Incroyable experience, merci beaucoup
Felt very welcome as a hijabi
I was nervous about wearing hijab in France given all the media coverage but honestly Paris suprised me. Nobody stared, nobody said anything. The diversity in areas like Barbès and Saint-Denis made me feel at home. The boulangeries dont always have halal options but theres plenty of halal restaurants if you look. The Louvre was incredible - spent 6 hours there.
Not what I expected honestly
Paris was on my bucket list forever. As a Black woman from Atlanta, I had mixed feelings. The city is gorgeous obviously but I got followed in a store near Champs-Elysées which was super uncomfortable. Some waiters were rude but I think thats just Paris lol. The food was amazing tho and Montmartre at sunset is unreal. Would I go back? Probably, but with thicker skin.
