Fun fact the passages (covered galleries) existed before the creation of the hausmannian boulevards. The central streets were narrow, crowded and famously muddy back then, so the passages were welcome !
That library - wow! The reading room looks awesome and that ceiling in the museum hall is amazing. Yeah I like Rue Montmartre ; I prefer it to Rue Montorgeuil. Thanks for another top video Jay 🙏
Thanks, Jay! The second is my favorite and you showed me some new places to go. I really like to stay there, too, because it is close to the Louvre and the Seine, and fairly quiet. All the best to you and Coop!
Paris has good food to try. But be careful some tourists traps that are expensive and not great. Years ago I spent a 15 euros smoothie to land it in the trash, even though I was so thirsty on that hot day. They have so many places that range Michelin grade, good so delicious and very affordable and you got to do some research or get references from your hotel
First trip to Paris in May this year: stayed in the 2nd Arr (near Bonne Nouvelle Metro stop). Was totally spoilt for choice for food and an evening beverage. Originally chose there as it’s a pretty central for most things (apart from Tour De Eiffel 😂 ) but was pleasantly surprised at variety and quality of the food and drink establishments within a 5 to 10 minute walk from my hotel😎
We stayed in an AirBnB just above Bone Shaker. Great place to stay. And the donut smell in the morning is awesome. The area was the absolute best for food.
Yeah! I was wondering what the best way to do that would be. I have a few versions I've done and I think a hand drawn then vectorized one might look slick
Keeps getting better, the camera shots are top notch. But Jay, there are some good places to eat even on Rue Montorgueil, my kid loves L'Escargot and their mega snail plater and the onion soup is great with a pastry hat on it. But yes the 2nd is food central if not quite as good as the 6th, with Aux Lyonnais, Palais Royal, and Grand Colbert are worth doing.
For our 31st going to Marais and Epernay the 2 nd week of December. Epernay has the Festival of Lights going on that weekend. Ave of the Champagne is our host and looks like a great festival to attend. Your videos have been very helpful. I will be trying some of your restaurant suggestions and hope you have a good palate for food. Thanks !
I have not watched enough , but I watched this one. Now I need to watch them all. I am coming back for a couple days. I have a plan (my plans don't always work) HaHa. I will go to one area. (arronindissement). Which ons do you think would be funnest? #2 or ... Be bold and tell! 🌴🌴Aloha
