been to

Hello

Would you help with a present perfect?

I think the following sentence express the experience.
#1 I have been to Paris.

If I want to express I went to Paris and I have just returned from Paris, can I use #1?
If so, how you get which meaning the sentence imply? Do you get it from the context?

How about #2? Can I put "just" in that sentence?
#2 I have just been to Paris.

Thank you.

You are quite correct with both of your understandings. The context helps us to understand the situation. "I haven't seen you this month, Frank.

The context helps us to understand the situation.

"I haven't seen you this month, Frank. Where have you been?"
"I have (just) been to Paris."

A different context;
"What European cities have you been to?"
"I have been to Paris."

Cheers
