What I loved about the 17th when I lived there was the lack of tourists and hipsters. Was a great place to live. Also the cheese shop on rue poncelet was so good!
I enjoyed staying in the 17th arr. my first time in Paris because it was basically a residential area and I got to see how parisians lived. I’m an introvert so it was nice to hang out in parks and restaurants that are not always busy. The main attractions are far but I’m used to taking a 30-40 min bus or train as a native New Yorker. I loved not having to spend Montmartre prices on accommodations but being able to walk there everyday to do different things. To me it was worth it if you’re staying more than a week.
I’m leaving for a trip to Paris in a few weeks and have been devouring your videos these last months. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your hard work and pain!
Hahaha…much, much, much appreciation for all your pain and suffering! (And so wonderful to see your fun and lovely friends, Paul Taylor, and Nathaniel Drew!) I’ve got the PDF Paris in my Pocket, and deeply hoping the App will be up and available by July! Thank you for these fabulous vlogs!!
We're pushing hard! It's had its delays but I'm hoping that the very basic version is available soon, and then we'll keep building from there. I hope your trip is amazing!
I just got back from nine days in Paris. I was staying on Ave de St-Ouen so Batignolles was very close. I loved that whole neighborhood; great shopping, wonderful restaurants and the Be Bop Bar was the perfect spot for an evening cocktail.
Thanks for covering some hotspots in my neighborhood. My in-laws from TX have also given Melt their stamp of approval...definitely the best BBQ in Paris.
great video, as usual, Nathaniel - hi, I knew I saw you somewhere. I follow your parents' journey in France. I can relate to that since we took our small children and moved abroad as well. Same fears, concerns and joys no matter where you move. Please, say hello to them and I am waiting to see the house they bought. As per the 17th arrondissement - I live in NYC right now. There are very tourist places and others very interesting, unusual but yes, for the second, third time you come. The 17th has a very strangely different architecture, and for those interested in this subject it may be the place to be during the first trip, but if you don't know...... thanks for sharing.
Hey Jay, watched all your videos for my trip in Paris 3weeks ago! I stayed in Vincennes and maybe you can do a video about that area? Lots of Space Invaders and convenient to get to. Thanks
Paul, Nate, and Jay.... THAT would be an interesting lunch! LOL... And Nate couldn't help himself!!! Such a Vlogger! :) I admit, the 17th is an arrondissement that I need to explore more. Going to plan it when I am there in early summer so I can enjoy the flowers in full bloom on the Pereiere !
Staying at the Ibis Clichy-Bat soon. I almost booked a hotel close to Gare du Nord.....hope i made the right descision. Still looking for a breakfast place in the 17th.
Yep, I suffer with you, or do I? There has to be one place that has to be to worst. Luckily there are 20 to chose from...😊 the massage might make worthwhile to actually visit there.
