Camoes was in the military as a young man (hence the sabre on the sculpture) and lost an eye in a skirmish.

I had the great fortune to live in Passy for a month and walked by this garden and never knew what these doorways were until I watched this video. Thank you Corey! Superbe!

Thanks for sharing. I lived on Camoens as a teenager and loved seeing the street and learning some things I didn't know.

@afrenchfryeinparis 4 года назад

Ken Halla I’m glad to hear that; thanks for tuning in!

I recently learned that the statue of Luis de Camoes has one eye closed because of a battle wound. He lost his right eye in a naval battle in the Strait of Gibraltar.

Just returned from Paris where I took my extended family on this tour. They loved it. Nice to know that you can continue up and along the garden stairs and path and return to the Tocadero that way. Thanks so much. A highlight of our trip.

Just discovered your video and out of curiosity I visited your channel. Your off-the-beaten track Paris videos are highly original.

@adele3264 3 года назад

Regarding your reference to the Stalingrad metro station, the station was previously called Aubervilliers - Boulevard de la Villette. In 1946 it was renamed "Stalingrad" in honour of the Soviet victory at the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 - February 1943). The section of Boulevard de la Villette near the station was named Place de Stalingrad at the time as well. Given all the battle-related place names in Paris, I just wanted to clarify that the battle in question was during WWII and not the Napoleonic era as so many are.

@TheTangofrog Год назад

Mon Dieu! He even called Stalingrad a place where the “French won a battle.” 😮

@markscranton6609 4 года назад

Regarding Camoes' right eye, according to Wikipedia: "He enlisted in the overseas militia, and traveled to Ceuta in the fall of 1549. During a battle with the Moors, he lost the sight in his right eye. He returned to Lisbon in 1551, a changed man, living a bohemian lifestyle." Of course, this is Wikipedia, so only as good as the source.

The gimbal and wide angle lens adds a smooth professional quality. What a mood! I feel like I’m in Paris. Thank you! Excellent tours with the wisdom and peacefulness not to fill up the audio completely with words. Just the right balance of talking and contemplation, an aesthetic touch that is your own. Bravo!

I've just found your videos,you are so informative about Paris where I am hoping to visit in September so I am learning lots of information from your films.

El punto central del TROCADÉRO 1874 a 1932 era un Templo Teatro justo en el medio de esas 2 alas semicirculares ,hay unas cuántas fotos ,pero desconozco si fué por la guerra o por cambiar la arquitectura de París que demolieron dicha estructura .Saludos desde México Guadalajara.

Corey: I am a Francophile from Louisiana. I don't often see your video tours live, but try to see the replays. This was another good outing in an area I knew little about. Looking at the first bust you showed at the bottom of the staircase, of the writer Camoens. You didn't mention it and perhaps I read into it more than is there, but the way the plume and livre sit above the sword (epee?), could the sculptor have been indicating "The pen is mightier than the sword"? That saying came into being in 1839, if that fits as to when the sculpture was done. Perhaps others noticed. Great programs.

@afrenchfryeinparis 5 лет назад

Hey there, thanks for the support! Interesting theory about the bust...I suppose it could be the case. There’s very little substantial info available about this piece, and I’m personally still trying to find out why he of all people were placed here. I was looking for maybe a Portuguese embassy nearby but so far, no. Thanks for leaving a comment and have a great day!

@elgoognazo 5 лет назад

Didnt know the history of the avenue de newyork. interesting!

@afrenchfryeinparis 5 лет назад

I’m glad you think so - I find it quite intriguing, as with so many other random forgotten stories about why things are the way they are. 😊 I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! I look forward to sharing more with you in future episodes.

@biomanization 4 года назад

Maybe the statue of Luis de Camoes, winks a cautionary note. He refers to his mythic creature Adamastor, who stands guard, at a beautiful site opening up to the Cape of Good Hope, winking at the knowledge some people will perish as they cross the Cape of Good Hope.

@bmpvw 5 лет назад

I often wonder why Paris does not have a world-renown underground museum encapsulating both creation and maintenance of the railways (metro, RER...etc.) and the secret catacombs you speak of here. I think it would be fascinating and of interest to many. Maybe someday.......Enlighten me if there is something like this already. To date, I have not been able to find anything even remotely similar, only the tour of the Paris sewer system, which was interesting and disgusting at the same time.

@afrenchfryeinparis 5 лет назад

The only historical displays/signage I’ve found about underground Paris are the rooms at the beginning of the Catacombs itinerary. But that’s only the stone quarry history and doesn’t mention the metro system at all. It’s certainly a rich part of the city’s past and I agree that a proper (underground) museum dedicated to this stuff would be great. Thanks for the comment!

@bmpvw 5 лет назад

@@afrenchfryeinparis I agree, an in-depth museum would be great. (Hah...pun intended!).
