Can a 16 year old travel to Paris by herself?

Question

One of my friends lives in London and wants to take the train by herself to Paris. Can she even do that or do the people at the border want to know if her parents say that its okay? They think she is going somewhere else so she doesnt have a note or anything! She's 16.

Answer 1

There won't be any problem emigration wise.  Where will she stay?  How mature is she?  With the EU there aren't the controls they used to have.  It would be better if she could bring a friend.

Answer 2

if she and her parents believe shes mature enough, why not? she has to consider money, where to stay etc. i mean lisa love (teen vogue editor) ran away to paris when she was 15 (from america) she got there by selling her snakeskin boots! lol if she can do it why cant ur friend  :P
