Thanks for the replies
I do have the M system
So could take M50, 11-22, 22/2, 18-150
But I really wanted to travel light
My partner has no interest in photography so doesn’t stand waiting for me… I have to take grab shots and hope 🤣
+1. For some reason, I can't 'Like' a post again. I had this issue 2 weeks ago.

I’m trying to pluck up the courage and take just the 6D with either 50/1.8 or 40stm
I love the idea of just one camera, one lens
On a shoulder strap and come what may.
But 🫣😬
I’ve photographed in Paris a few times, and the one-lens idea can work for a lot of street photography if you have the right lens, are familiar with that mode of photography, and are in the right places for that.
However…
I always carry at least a few other options, since not everything there is like that. There are some large scale urban landscapes where a wide to normal prime is going to leave you struggling a bit with some subjects, and there are also some long distance views that may be better handled with something longer.
The last time I went I carried a Fujifilm APS-C body with 14mm, 27mm, and 50mm primes, and that was a bit more flexible for me. Yes, I used them all.
the small zoom that the OP mentioned could also work if the desire is to keep the kit small.
I’m less sure about the longer telephoto. While there might be a few occasions to use it (varies depending on how/what you photograph), my own feeling is that such longer lenses are less useful there.
