Merveilleux!! 👏👏 Thank you for an excellent reminder of our favourite area of Paris. We have stayed around there many times & for my 60th birthday even in the Cour du Commerce Saint-André itself, in the building right opposite Le Procope (2:45 to 3:00). We are back for a few days in July just outside St Germain on Rue de Varenne. Not sure how I've missed your videos until now but I have 6 weeks to catch up!! Definitely some of the best I've seen.
@@paristoptips yes, indeed! We are still looking for another nice hotel in Paris, close to a metro station with a little supermarket near by. Should have an elevator, central and safe area. From a stroke I have a problem with my leg. That’s why so complicated. May be you‘d have some additional recommendation…? 🙏
This is THE BEST tour of the 6th!! I wish you had shot the creperie by the Abbaye, right across from the Deux Magots. They have the most divine Grand Marnier crepes!!
I went to Paris twice this year. It is a beautiful city. I want to go back there. I love the cafe culture of Paris. Shopping experience is pleasant and enjoyable, and the sights are incredible.
This video shows where I wanted to walk two weeks ago. I just harry to Musse d’Orsay after arriving to CDG. I was lucky to get in without waiting so long at before 10:00. Since I have not visited it for a long time, I wanted to see everything as long as possible. I enjoyed many artworks for about 6 hours. Recently I saw another starry night by Van Gogh in MMA at the exhibition of Van Gogh’s Cyprus trees. I heard that some paintings of Degas and Manet are at MMA and I am going to see them at Christmas holidays. Thanks for wonderful video.
We have been following your videos since you started and look forward to every new one and really enjoy your video quality, insight and choices of what to present. Thank you for doing such beautiful work and entertaining us. Your newest is excellent. We are visiting Paris again this year, during the Christmas season.
Bonjour, Alain ! Superbe ! Pour mon prochain voyage, je resterai juste sur le boulevard St Germain et ta vidéo m'a donné encore plus envie ! Merci bien !
I love your tour and interactive map! The music, narration and street noises really transport you to the big neighborhood! Cafe de Flore, Les Deux Magots, Brasserie Lipp-would you actually eat there or are they just nostalgic institutions? Would you recommend the hot chocolate at Procope?
@@rnguyen2516 Thanks 🙏 Yes, I could eat at Brasserie Lipp, but maybe not at Flore or Deux Magots, though their breakfast was perfect, including the hot chocolate, that I haven't tested at Café Procope.
I just discovered this channel and this is amazing! I’m going to study in Sciences Po pour quatre mois et j’essaye d’apprendre plus de choses que je peux sur Paris. Mon appartement est en 15th arrondissement et votre video sur unsafe places était très bien pour moi.
Thanks! The routes I take in my videos are just how I feel people can see the best of Paris while having a stroll. But they can be taken the other way round or totally twisted: the essential is that it inspires people to visit the neighborhoods, not only the main Top 10 sites of the city.
Very nice video! I would like to go to Cour du Commerce Saint-André. I like that place. But the waiter of cafe Procope doesn't want us to take photos or movies? I saw him stop you filming.
Lot's of different music, but most of these are jazz pieces from Nocturnal Spirits, and also K-Pop. Tell me at what moment in the video and I'll give you the exact title and name of group or singer.
He may have considered that I was rude, filming him without asking. Some French people can be very sensitive to this. Last week I had a lady asking me to erase what I had recorded of her.
Just returned from a fantastiqué week in Paris in early November. For years I have been trying to figure out the meaning of Les Deux Magots…can you help?😀
Однажды я увидела в Париже странную женщину, у которой на лице была паутина, а из глаз и в вырез красивого белого брюссельского кружевного платья сочилась черная жидкость. Женщина была змеей. Когда она приблизилась, я почувствовал ужасный запах, будто мертвая черепаха приготовила яйца. Я даже не мог пошевелиться, и женщина этим воспользовалась. Она поцеловала меня в губы, и я начал задыхаться. К счастью, мимо прошел полицейский и освободил меня из хватки зверя. Затем злая женщина взлетела по лестнице на Монмартр, словно гонимая ветром. Потом у меня пошла сыпь по всему телу, я был похож на какого-то искалеченного жирафа без ног и без хвоста.
One neighborhood running into another isn't distinctive enough for people of this background. Normally every neighborhood has its own distinct flavor. Earth space should be observed between districts.
Saint-Germain used to be a small village built around the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Abbey, founded in the 6th century by Childebert I. A village grew up around the Abbey, which had about six hundred inhabitants by the 12th century. Today, even if it's bordered by other neighborhoods, Saint-Germain still has its own distinctive flavor...
It wasn't meant to be bordered by other neighborhoods. That's the point. I would argue that many of these places go back 2 thousand years. If there are Roman markings (can be seen from space), they are at least that old.
The romans established themesileves at the esat of Saint-Germain, in waht is today known as the Latin Quarter. There are still some interestiong remains of the Roman occupation there, at Musée de Cluny or at the Arènes de Lutèce.
@@paristoptips If it's 2000 years old, it is all "Roman" or the Jews territory and they just didn't build cities to run from one district to another. That was introduced in recent history to conquer from within.
