Where can I meet smart girls in a town like Paris?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm in Paris for a while and I was wondering how to meet girls... Don't suggest any sport clubs or stuff like that please... In a town like that it should be possible to find nice girls when you speak the language right?

How about in a university library? There should be a lot of single girls there.

Check out the Louvre or some bookstores/coffee shops.

In Paris? They're all smart.

Louvre? Bookstores? Coffeeshops? University library?

Les bonnes idées！

I have been to these places when I went to Paris, in a very romantic mood.

Lol, how will I explain going to universities if I'm not a student there?

la bibliotheque!

Paris is evil.

Oui Oui but the ones near me are full of children lol, wrong age category, I want girls aged 18-25

i just wanted to let you all know i remembered how to say library.

What about a museum to do with something local. would give you a conversation starter, you could play the interested tourist role.
I'm assuming france has bars?
You could just randomly stop girls asking for directions to a good coffee bar or something, try to start a little convo out of it, then ask her to join you for the coffee. smooth

French girls don't go to bars it seems unless they're over 40 or desperate as for museums I don't really see young girls go there, at least I never saw any.

where are they hiding

Paris is awesome

I just don't like this stereotyping of "in a bookstore / coffee shop / library / a girl with a beret eating a croissant and drinking coffee and reading a romantic novel and looking at art"

In Palm Beach or L.A. probably!

Anyone got some more ideas?

As I went to school near Paris (Villers-le-Bel, to be exact), I can only tell you that you should avoid the highly frequented "tourist traps". The girls I went to school with were all very charming and most of them were pretty smart, if a tad shallow, but I got along with them all pretty well (as I already mentioned a couple times, I get along with girls better than boys, and Paris seemed to be no exception to that). You should try your luck on the outskirts (Porte d'Italie, for example, is a tad more "dirty" than the rest of Paris - and that is already quite an accomplishment -, and if you mind such a thing, there is a higher population of other ethnicities, but there are some truly great restaurants there where you can eat good food for reasonable prices, and the folks there are just a little less... well, fake. If you want to go looking more within the center of Paris, you should generally try parks. Paris may have many things, just some green greens where you can relax is none of them. For someone like me who comes from a city that is basicall 50% forest, parks and lakes, it was quite something to deal with. However, I noticed that most women of college student age were flocking to these few places.
