(Last Update: 02.03.2024) Covid measures and rules are no longer valid, but I will not remove this article in order not to forget the process we are going through and the stages we have gone through. You can read the article below to see how France experienced the pandemic process:
***
He hasn't had time to write new articles on Pariste.Net for a very long time, my priority more 550 articles on Pariste.Net I was devoting my time to regular updates, social media sharing, and responding to the incoming e-mails, messages, and questions. It started in China, spread around the world in a short time, and recently spread to France. COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic Therefore, I felt the need to publish this article to keep you informed about current developments. I also update it periodically. Moreover Latest videos from the streets of Paris in the article at the end of the article, Images from several live broadcast links I attended on Turkish television you will be able to watch.
President of France in March 2020 Emmanuel Macronannounced the precautionary measures to stop the COVID-19 Coronavirus epidemic, as a result, all schools and universities were closed, those who were able were asked to work from home, and all places, including cafes, restaurants, cinemas and stores, except for vital places such as markets, pharmacies and banks, were closed for a second period. Closed until further notice.
However, these measures were not enough to prevent the spread of the epidemic and It was decided to impose a curfew that will last until May 11. Until that date It was announced that all places except vital places such as health institutions, pharmacies and food markets will be closed. Everyone who was able was asked to work from home. For each day you had to go out, you had to fill out a form online.certificate“, we had to fill out a form.
European Union Schengen borders have been closed to the outside world "until further notice". The first round of elections was held, but the second round was postponed to a later date. All new bills being worked on, including the new pension law, which has caused intense debate for a long time, have been suspended.
The following video I took on the streets of Paris, two days before the curfew, when the pandemic was just starting, and where I talk about the subjects I explained in this article. Effects of the COVID-19 Coronavirus Outbreak in Paris You can get an idea about those days by watching the video:
I shot the video below to give you an idea of what the streets of Paris were like on Monday, March 23, 2020, on the eighth day of home quarantine, when I went out for grocery shopping for the first time. in video Paris – La DéfenseI left my house in , and went to the market two kilometers away in Courbevoie. evening of the same day 1 kilometer restriction was brought:
The video below is from home on Friday, March 27, 2020. Pariste.Net Instagram account A conversation presenting sections from the instalive live broadcast I made via question and answer video happened. I think the topics we talk about here will also be insightful. I even sang a song in the final to boost morale 😉
As of June 22, 2020, the return to normal order began. Actually, what everyone calls "new normal", I want to call "controlled normal". With this process, life never found its former taste and the epidemic began to spread again and get out of control. As a result of this As of the end of October 2020, we were confined to our homes again, and this practice lasted until the beginning of December 2020 and since then there is no general curfew so we can go out during the day but It is forbidden to go out every evening starting at 18:00 and until 06:00 in the morning. Additionally, EU borders were closed to flights again, and stores larger than 20 thousand square meters were also closed...
Second wave quarantine two days before start Luxembourg GardenYou can get information about that day's agenda and also experience the autumn colors in Paris by watching my live broadcast on:
The results of the third wave showed its effect in March 2021, and new measures were announced in 16 departments, including Paris and its surroundings. curfew at night , A flexible closure started to be implemented during the day. It was possible to go out for reasons such as going to work, health, shopping for basic needs, etc. As of May 2021, the 10 kilometer limitation has been ended. Later, restaurants were gradually opened and curfews were ended. The obligation to wear a mask in closed areas continues. Nightclubs are closed for now and New Year's celebrations have also been cancelled.
As of the last update date of this article Tourist flights between Turkey and France are open for those who have completed their vaccinations (except for the Chinese vaccine) and have an internationally valid vaccination certificate, and a PCR test is required to enter France, but there is no quarantine application at the moment.. Those who have received 2 doses of Sinovac vaccine are not included in this scope, but if you have received 2 doses of Sinovac + 1 dose of Biontech vaccine, you are included in the group of those who have been vaccinated.. Those who must come to Paris but are not fully vaccinated must show a valid reason, take a PCR test and remain in quarantine. Sometimes, even if you have been tested while crossing the border, you may be asked to get tested again, so take note of that as well. I would also like to remind you that you should act quickly to make a visa appointment, as the French Consulate sets a monthly visa quota for those who need a tourist visa. Since the implementation methods of the measures taken change frequently, I recommend that you obtain up-to-date information from the official website of the French Consulate and/or your airline. Also, I can call it the "e-pulse" of France. AllAntiCovid If you download the application to your phone and have your international QR code scanned by this application, you will be very comfortable in France. There is also Turkey's practice "health passIf you download the ” application and do the same process there, you will be sure. However, it is useful to have a paper printout with you.
As for the vaccine Great progress has been made and more than 80% of the population has been vaccinated with two doses, now the third dose has started. Even It is said that restrictions will be imposed after a while for those who have not completed their third dose of vaccination, but no clear announcement has been made yet.
In light of all this, there is something I want to say:
Those who have been following me for a long time know very well, Let me make a small note for those who don't know: I am not a tour guide, I am just a blogger who prepares Pariste.Net, the only Turkish blog with the richest content, prepared with such a concept, offering tips and details to guide those who want to visit Paris and its surroundings.
Sudden foreign exchange increase, Yellow Vests, strike and now too Due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak for months, even almost one and a half to two years crisis desk or like an emergency call center to work and prevent you from being victimized. I'm tired of following events and current developments and sharing updated information.. The Yellow Vests and strikes did not affect my daily life, I was just overwhelmed by following the current information and answering tons of questions, but I did my best to make your Paris days enjoyable without giving up for a moment. Because the Yellow Vest protests and strikes did not cause any harm in coming to Paris; It was very important for those who would come to be informed about the current information and have a nice and trouble-free holiday... In fact, in this regard canhuraş somehow Strike Announcement Instagram story series Those who follow me know very well that I share up-to-date information.
Likewise, at the beginning of the COVID-19 Coronavirus epidemic, I shared many posts on social media to support those who would come to Paris, I showed the current situation by making live broadcasts from the streets of Paris and Coronavirus Instagram story series I shared information as.
I spent this idle period reading books, even in a sense. turning crisis into opportunity, for a long time i work on Paris book to complete I decided to dedicate myself and even started writing my book on March 20, 2020, and finished the storytelling part of the book on May 25, 2020. On August 20, I reached the stage of sending it to publishing houses and finally Approval for the printing of my book came on March 16, 2021, I signed the contract on March 22, 2021 and my book A Week in Paris It was released on November 23, 2023.
Although I tried to stay away from social media for a while during the quarantine days, we went through such extraordinary days that I had to log in and share information from time to time, but I still tried to protect myself as much as possible. The more you engage with the blog and social media, the more you enter a vortex. Emails and messages come like a barrage; You know, I answer all messages as long as I don't miss them. which is a very, very tiring job. You don't really need me anyway since you won't be making any touristic trips until the COVID-19 Coronavirus fanfare is over.. All information about Paris is available on Pariste.Net. Those who live in Paris can already learn what is happening from the source.
More than 500 articles on the blog Since it was not possible for me to update them one by one according to the effects of the COVID-10 Coronavirus epidemic, I had to suspend updating many of the articles until these works were completed. because it was not possible for me to add the latest developments to each page one by one; Moreover, the current situation was constantly changing for museums and restaurants. I had no choice but to suspend work for a while until things became stable again.
Since 2014, when I founded Pariste.Net, I am very happy to have experienced an unbelievably high degree of spiritual satisfaction as a result of all my efforts, but I am not supported by any institution or organization, I just I'm fried in my own oil I survived this crisis period with great financial damage.. Of course, what is important is life health, the rest will be taken care of somehow, but “wait, let the euro fall, maybe it will recover","Stop, let the Yellow Vest protests end, then it will be okay",""Stop, let the strikes end, then it will be okay." In this process I was patient by saying "Wait, let this virus fanfare end, then it will be okay" I waited :)
Even though I took a break from the blog update, the only thing I want to do is to complete my eighth year in Paris on March 26, 2020, which is a one-year "general situation assessment". Eighth Year in Paris I published my article, and the article Ninth Year in Paris was published on March 26, 2021. Other than that, I don't plan to publish a new article. I updated all the old articles I have written so far after the pandemic ended..
Then many things happened and I found myself As of July 2023 NiceI found it while living in 🙂 My next dream is A life in the Paris-Istanbul-Nice triangle but let's see what else life will show us...
Anyway sir, when the situation is like this...
Thank you very much for your understanding, interest, support and for reading this far.
Stay healthy

Hello Mr. Ahmet, first of all, I would like to thank you very much for your efforts. If you ask me why I want to thank you, we decided to tour Paris with my wife and we caught you from your reels videos, then thanks to your site and your videos, we decided on Paris and hopefully we will be there between 28 October and 31 October. Istanbul Univ. I am a graduate of the Faculty of Political Sciences and my wife and I work as inspectors in a ministry. I have read almost all of the articles and videos you have written. And I made a very nice note in my black planner. When I get there, I would like to meet you if you are available. We would be very happy if you could spare half an hour for us.
What I actually want to ask you is this; The name of the hotel where we will stay as part of the tour is Inter Hotel Rosny Sous Bois. I prepared and drew a travel map for myself by watching your articles and videos and arranged almost everything. (I bought the Eiffel Tower ticket, the Louvre Museum ticket and the Arc de Triomphe ticket all from the internet. Everything is fine, but there are Val-de-Fontenay Station and Bondy Station near the hotel, but these stations are not included in the Paris metro line route you gave in your article. As I mentioned for this subject Which line should be used to go from metro stations to the Louvre museum or the Eiffel Tower?
Thank you from now.
Hello Mr. İlyas, I noticed your message by chance today because it was sent to spam, please excuse my late reply.
Since your hotel is outside the center of Paris and therefore outside the metro network, you need to use RER as a means of transportation. See: RER https://www.pariste.net/pariste-ulasim-2-rer/
There are multiple transportation options and the route changes depending on the time you leave the hotel, so I think it is best to enter the Google Maps application, write the address of your hotel and your destination, and determine your route according to the route that Google will suggest.
I wish you a happy holiday in advance.
Hello Mr. Ahmet;
I came across your site when I bought my first ticket to Paris. I have learned a lot about Paris, thank you very much. However, I have to postpone my ticket for 19 days due to COVIT-2. I last bought it for July 26. I wonder if there will be normalization by that date?
Hello,
Since tourism activities between Turkey and France have been zero for more than a year, I have had to suspend my interest in the blog, so I cannot check the messages very often; So please excuse me for just seeing your question and replying late.
Believe me, no one knows when the borders will reopen, we can all only guess. My guess is that things will get better by Christmas, so I don't expect a normalization this summer, but I hope I'm wrong and the borders will open in the summer as you planned.
I wish you healthy days.
Hello Mr. Ahmet. Greetings from a sunny Istanbul (unfortunately, as an İSKİ employee and someone living in Istanbul, it means drought). I congratulate you on your new year and wish you healthy and happy days, hoping to get back to our old happy days (your articles and books). Please take care of yourself. .You are our only source of news from there.
You have money, Covid won't touch you
Hello Mr. Ahmet, how are you, I am Selcuk Erturk from Ankara, we would like to open a cafe or ica cream store in Paris, what do you think, we would like to know your thoughts, we would be very happy if you can help us in this regard.
Hello Mr. Selcuk,
As I tried to mention in the article, I cannot pay much attention to the blog during the pond period. I was away from the computer outside Paris for about three weeks. I just returned to Paris and just saw your message, sorry for my late reply. I'm not sure if it's the right time to open a cafe in Paris. The numbers have started to increase again in France, we may (or may not) be confined to our homes for the second time, so believe me, I don't know what to say about this.
As a Paris-loving Istanbulite, I couldn't hold back my tears in the last video… I wanted to share… Best regards
Mr. Ahmet, your well-being is more important to us. Take care of yourselves. Best regards…
Mr. Ahmet, I just noticed your site. I read some of your articles. There is such a fluent and simple way of conveying information that I was very surprised and happy that there were bloggers out there who were truly knowledgeable and could write so beautifully. I have always been looking for such a site because I am studying French translation and interpreting at Yıldız Teknik and I am thinking of going to France for Erasmus. I wanted to thank you for your beautiful articles. We are always behind you, keep it up 🙂 You always write, we always read and get informed because we don't have many resources anyway.
Thank you very much…
Greetings Ahmet.
May God help and help all humanity.
Our dear Paris guide Ahmet Bey,
I can say with confidence that you are the best blogger I know. I will never forget your Instagram live broadcasts and I'm sure there will be better ones to come. These days will surely be left behind. All humanity will have learned a lot from this process. We are looking forward to your book.
Take good care of yourself.
See you.
Stay healthy :)
Hello Mr. Ahmet, the period we are in is uncertain and painful, but the most important thing is to protect our mental health, especially in such periods. Personally, I am happy to follow beautiful people like you on social media because you make me feel better thanks to your positive posts... We wish you healthy days, best regards
I have a cousin in Paris. But you were the first thing that came to my mind. Take care of yourself and your loved ones, sir...
Hello Mr. Ahmet, Turkey is one step behind you and now everywhere is closed and some food establishments are offering takeaway service. The number of cases is increasing, but not yet at epidemic level. People have returned to themselves and are finding new activities to occupy themselves at home. For example, I; Today, I am cleaning the house in the absence of my daily worker who no longer comes due to fear of the virus. I saw your post when I sat down to rest. The thing that challenges me the most in this social isolation is meeting with my beloved grandchild on FaceTime. My 3-year-old angel fell in love with me because I didn't go to visit her. Every morning, he was saying to his parents in the home office, "Take me to my grandmother." That's it, Mr. Ahmet, I wrote it from above, if you find the time to read it, maybe you will be entertained too. I wish you health, peace, happiness and patience. Goodbye FÜSUN NEMUTLU
I found something to have a good time now. Reading your blog :))) commenting…
Dear Mr. Ahmet :) I was about to write to you to ask how you are, but I didn't because I might disturb you. We are like quarantine here, not many people go out to the streets. We are all at home. Of course, my cat Cinnamon and I are bored too. I'm trying to do the things I've been planning to do for a long time, but it's a little difficult. I can't concentrate. I try not to watch the news, but it's impossible. Anyway, these are difficult days for all of us. Mr. Ahmet, if you are bored, sad or want to share, we are here :))))) we can chat. We are all waiting for you :)) stay healthy and let's stay...
Ahmed,
I'm looking forward to the book. These days too will pass. Who knows, maybe we will wake up to a better world at the end of the crisis...
As they say, hope is the bread of the poor...
I wish you healthy days
First of all, Mr. Ahmet, let's get well soon. I hope these days will pass quickly. We will wait for the happy old days. I wish you the best of luck. Take care of yourself. We will continue to follow you. Keep your morale high. It is important because the same things apply to all of us. Unfortunately, we are in the same situation, we are waiting with hope that these days will pass.
Healthy, virus-free days to all of us...😊
Dear Mr. Ahmet, who always made me feel like I had a relative in Paris, who I could say to my wife "We can call Mr. Ahmet, he will help us" when we were in trouble during our trip to Paris, and whose live broadcasts I attended not only to see him on the streets of Paris but also to have a pleasant conversation with his smiling face... You deserve the best of everything. I sincerely hope that you can spend your retreat in the most productive way, both materially and spiritually. We will look forward to the days when our short farewell will end with blooming flowers and happiness. Stay with health first and then with love.
We love you. ❤️
We are looking forward to new beautiful days, new trips, new surprises, new carefree, new serenity, new conversations and new books. Everything will be better than before. We all needed to slow down a little, get back to ourselves a little, love loneliness a little, and love ourselves. It will be good for all of us, as long as we are healthy 🙏🏻😊
Big love from Bandırma...
I hope you have a pleasant day :)
Mr. Ahmet, everything is a test for us. I hope this process will end soon and we will see better days. What you do is very special and unique, I think you will sooner or later receive its reward in both respects. Take care of yourself, we are looking forward to your book :)
You are right, Mr. Ahmet, I am trying to do the same thing in Istanbul. May it be beneficial for all of us. I hope everything will be okay soon. We will meet you too. Please post or share once in a while. Not to see Paris. To see that you are okay. Keep your morale high. Wish us luck here too. I hope the number of patients does not increase. we love you. Don't forget us. Bonne courage .
I'm looking forward to the book❤️
Thank you very much, I hope everyone will get through this process with minimal damage and we will meet again on good days.
Dear Mr. Ahmet, I thank you wholeheartedly for your efforts. I wish you clarity of mind during this period. I hope this period in which you return to yourself will be incredibly productive. Best regards, Banu
It was a very appropriate decision, Mr. Ahmet. Everyone, including us, is grateful for your help during the past crisis periods. Maybe everyone will support you by buying your book when you finish it :)
Good work.
Rest as much as you can and work on the projects you left behind. Take care of yourself. Remember that once you come to Paris, you always want to come; Therefore we will need you more. Stay with love, health, and peace. May the sky we share unite us again...
Our dear Paris guide, Ahmet Ore; Don't worry, you did your best and made us happy. You too deserve to be happy. I wish you a good rest period on behalf of all net participants in Paris, with the hope that this crisis situation will definitely come out and the days will come when we can be cheerful, cheerful, travel and sing together as before, and I embrace you on behalf of everyone. With the most sincere respect and love from Ankara. Yours, Erol.
