Do you have a layover in Paris? As long as it's at least four or five hours, you can make it into town to see some things. Six hours in Paris is ideal. (Helpful links below) Just plan for 1.5hrs of travel time between the airport and the city round trip and spend the rest of whatever you have accordingly.

Hey Jay, would love to see an updated version of this video. We have a layover in Dec 2023 where our flight gets in around 8:30am and next flight is 6:30pm. Between customs and storing our luggage, I'm thinking we may only have between like 11am and 2:30 to explore the city. Planning to use the RerB to get to and from CDG. Would like to maybe see one or 2 quick/easy things and grab a lunch before heading back. Thanks for your content and would love a video on this subject if possible.

I followed this guide in July 2013 and it was perfect! I would recommend it to anybody and everybody. The second time I was in Paris in July 2015 I had already seen some of the sights so went for a day in the Louvre!

Glad it worked out well for you Josh =D

This was so good! You keep upping your game. I love the idea of a separate channel that houses a collection of all your French Friday and travel themed vlogs. Might reach a wider audience, and drive traffic to the rest of your work. You are a very, very good tour guide. You'd be an excellent host for a travel channel of some sort.

I think I move too quickly for traditional guide jobs, haha

@kelerenmillham6451 7 лет назад

Who said anything about being traditional? 🤓

@kelerenmillham6451 7 лет назад

For every skill, talent, or muse, there is a niche. 😊

Great video Jay !!! Sending the link to all my foreign friends right now haha

Léa Natoli here's hoping it helps! I forgot to link to the map, whoops, doing that now. jayswanson.me/2013/04/how-to-see-paris-six-big-attractions-in-under-three-hours/

ah I still haven't tried Hardware Society, but I've heard great things. I didn't realize it was right there :)

@JaySwanson 7 лет назад

It's really good. Not really a work friendly place but good coffee.

@frobinson6876 5 лет назад

Great video, packed with information, as usual. I'd be very interested to hear what you would recommend that someone eat if they are in Paris on a layover. What would be an especially good, while still representative (and ideally not overpriced) place to go for, say, a layover lunch? All the coffee tips are useful and welcome, but I'd love to to know what you'd recommend by way of solds...

@JaySwanson 5 лет назад

I've covered just about everything you asked for throughout my videos - I hope you enjoy watching them!

@magnusdeus123 7 лет назад

So, Jay... you might remember me from a comment I made somewhere a few days ago. I've watched half a dozen of your videos. Cool stuff. Still don't know why you're there. :/

@JaySwanson 7 лет назад

Why I'm in Paris? I think there's a video entitled "Why I'm in Paris" in here somewhere, haha. If that doesn't end up being informative enough, let me know.

@yannikhadorn3065 5 лет назад

@jayswanson do you think that 8 hours are enough? My flight arrives at 10.45 and leaves at 18.45

@JaySwanson 5 лет назад

For sure! Scope things out in advance and give yourself enough of a buffer in case things get tricky =)

@yannikhadorn3065 5 лет назад

@@JaySwanson thanks a lot...i've spent an amazing layover in Paris

@reppinjnf 6 лет назад

If I buy a lot of 10 tickets from the airport can I use them on the metro? I'm planning on going from attraction to attraction. I have a 12 hour layover.

@JaySwanson 6 лет назад

You can - but the ticket to get into Paris is different than the carnet 10, so be sure you get both (and buy a round trip from the airport to Paris and back)

@reppinjnf 6 лет назад

Jay Swanson If I've done my research correctly the RER ticket will get me into Paris from CDG and then the metro tickets will get me around Paris by metro, correct? Thanks for replying love your videos man! Thank you, from Canada :)
