Nobody Talks About This Side Of Paris
People tell you Paris is busy during summer, Christmas, Fashion Week, and school holidays.
What they rarely talk about is what that actually feels like once you are there.
The constant movement. The packed métro. The zigzagging through crowds. The pressure to fit everything into a few days.
At some point, many travelers stop enjoying Paris and start managing logistics instead.
This guide was created to help you experience the city differently.

crowded sightseeing days leave you exhausted

dense tourist crowds drain your energy quickly

you come home from vacations needing another vacation

About The Author
I’m Lena, the founder of Salut From Paris.
Originally from Germany, I’ve lived in Paris for over 20 years and spent much of that time helping travelers experience the city more comfortably and confidently.
I also get overstimulated surprisingly easily in dense crowds and chaotic environments, which is something I know many travelers quietly struggle with in Paris too.
And while completely avoiding crowds in Paris is often unrealistic — especially during busy season — over the years I developed small strategies that make the city feel calmer, easier to navigate, and far less exhausting.
That is exactly what I share throughout this guide:
practical ways to experience Paris without burning yourself out in the process.
