Hello! This is orchid, currently staying in Vancouver. Recently, I went on a solo trip to Paris🇫🇷, Vienna🇦🇹, and London🇬🇧! Among them, I will introduce some recommended hidden spots in Paris. ・Rue Saint Dominique Street A place where you can take a great photo with the Eiffel Tower in the background. It's perfect to take a photo with the restaurant Le Recrutement in front of you👌 ・Le Recrutement I ate Croque-Monsieur at this restaurant. It is a hot sandwich with ham and cheese (mainly Gruyere and Emmental). It is characterized by being topped with a generous amount of bechamel sauce (white sauce) and cheese and baked in the oven. It is crispy on the outside and melty inside, perfect for lunch or a snack! 🕰️Opening hours: 7:00AM~ 2:00AM 📍Location: 36 Bd de la Tour-Maubourg, 75007 Paris, France ・Le Bon Marché / Bon Marché Department Store A historic luxury department store in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, it has a relaxed atmosphere as it is frequented by not only tourists but also locals. Recommended for those looking for stylish and sophisticated Parisian souvenirs✨ 🕰️Opening hours: 6:00AM~7:45PM 📍Location: 24 Rue de Sèvres, 75007 Paris, France ------------------------------ ↓Personally recommended shops from here✨ ・Merci General Store A super popular lifestyle and general goods store in Paris. A classic spot among fashion-conscious people, it is a select shop loved by both tourists and locals. 🕰️Opening hours: 10:30-7:30 📍Location: 111 Bd Beaumarchais, 75003 Paris, France Merci is adjacent to the Used Book Café, so we left the hotel at around 9:30 and waited at the adjacent cafe until 10:30! Even so, it's such a popular shop that there were several people waiting at the cafe! ・Goossens Paris A long-established French luxury jewelry house, famous for its craftsmanship, especially in fantasy jewelry (costume jewelry) for haute couture! 🕰️Opening hours: 11am-7pm 📍Location: 416 Rue Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris, France In fact, the company has a deep relationship with CHANEL. The founder, Robert Goossens, has been collaborating directly with Coco Chanel since the 1950s to create many pieces of jewelry for Chanel. → Because of this connection, Chanel took Goossens under its umbrella in 2005. (It is now part of the CHANEL group). If you are traveling alone in France🇫🇷🗼, be sure to explore the backstreets and hidden spots😊 However, be sure to stay away from dangerous places at night! Only you can protect yourself! #France #FranceTrip #france #solotrip #solotravel #EuropeTrip

I had always wanted to step back in time and experience the charm of old Japan, so I decided to take a solo day trip to Kawagoe, or "Little Edo." Just 30 minutes from Tokyo, it felt like a whole new world with its historic streets, delicious treats, and peaceful atmosphere. I took the Tobu Tojo Line from Ikebukuro Station, and before I knew it, I had arrived at Kawagoe Station. The city is easy to explore on foot, but I also hopped on the Koedo Loop Bus to get around faster. Kurazukuri Street – Walking down this street felt like stepping into the Edo period. The old warehouse-style buildings and cozy shops were perfect for strolling and taking photos. Toki no Kane – The famous wooden bell tower chimed as I sipped on a warm matcha latte from a nearby café, making the moment feel almost magical. Kashiya Yokocho – This candy alley was like a nostalgic dream, filled with traditional Japanese sweets. I couldn’t resist trying the crispy sweet potato chips—a local favorite! Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine – The shrine had a calming vibe, and I took a moment to write my wish on a wooden plaque, just like the locals. Kitain Temple – I was fascinated by the 500 Rakan statues, each with a different expression. It was a peaceful place to reflect and soak in the quiet beauty. Exploring alone meant I could take my time, wander freely, and truly immerse myself in the experience. I loved stopping at small cafés, chatting with friendly shop owners, and capturing beautiful corners of the town with my camera. The slower pace let me appreciate the details—like the sound of the bell tower, the scent of roasted sweet potatoes, and the warmth of the people. Kawagoe turned out to be the perfect solo travel destination. It gave me a refreshing break from Tokyo’s fast pace and left me with wonderful memories. If you ever need a peaceful, history-filled escape, Kawagoe is definitely worth a visit!✨️🎏 #japan #travel #thingstodo #solotrip
