Make Friends in Paris — Mingle

Mingle is a free swipe app for anyone who wants to make friends in Paris instead of only trading polite smiles on the métro. Set your city to Paris, choose Friends or Dating mode, and swipe through profiles of people in the same city. It is strictly 18 and over, and matching is city-level only — Mingle never asks for precise GPS, so your arrondissement can stay vague. When you are ready to meet, easy plans include a walk along the Seine, a café terrace stop, a quiet hour on a bench in the Luxembourg Gardens, or a slow wander through a market street with nothing on the agenda.

How it works

Sign up with a first name, your age and your city, then choose at least three interests so your deck leans toward people you would actually click with. Swipe right to like, left to pass, up for a Super Like, and back if you change your mind. When someone likes you back you match, and chat opens with suggested conversation starters so the first message is not just "salut". Filters cover age, distance and shared interests only — Mingle deliberately has no race, ethnicity, nationality or religion filters, so discovery stays fair. It runs in your browser and installs on your phone, making Mingle a Paris friends app you can open on the way home and pick up again at your kitchen table.

Is Mingle free?

Yes. Creating a profile, swiping, matching and chatting are free in both modes, with nothing to cancel and no card to enter. The app is funded by clearly labeled advertising and by a small number of partner links on the "Plan the hang" screen. When you first open Mingle you decide whether non-essential cookies are used, and choosing "Essential only" never disables a feature.

Safety first

Meet in a public place for a first hang — a busy café, a museum, a well-used garden path — and tell a friend where you are going and when you expect to be back. Keep messages inside Mingle until you are comfortable, and never send money to someone you have only met in chat. Every profile has a report button 🚨 with specific reasons, including "Under 18", and a block button 🚫; Mingle is 18+ only and underage accounts are removed. Location stays at city level, so a match sees Paris, not your front door.
