Pourquoi Paris?
Paris, la Ville Lumière, and soon, la Ville de Stray Kids! Why Paris, you ask? Well, besides being ridiculously charming, Paris boasts a thriving K-Pop scene and a dedicated fanbase. Think of it as your chance to merge a love of baguettes and berets with the electrifying stage presence of Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. Plus, imagine the pre-concert picnics by the Seine! *Magnifique!*
Practical Tip #1: Book your flights and accommodation early. Paris in July is a popular destination, and competition will be fierce. Websites like Booking.com and Airbnb are your friends. Aim for areas near good public transport to make getting to the concert venue a breeze.
Beyond the Concert: Un Peu de Culture
Okay, so you're in Paris for the Stray Kids concert, but don't just spend the entire trip queuing! Take advantage of being in one of the most culturally rich cities in the world. Visit the Louvre, marvel at the Eiffel Tower, wander through Montmartre, and indulge in some delicious French pastries. It's all about balancing the high-octane energy of the concert with the serene beauty of Parisian life.
Cultural Reference: Learn a few basic French phrases! Even a simple "Bonjour," "Merci," and "S'il vous plaît" will go a long way and enhance your experience. The locals will appreciate the effort.
