Thanks
Welcome!
Thanks
No problem!
This most definitely is not Art Moderne, Deco or any other name for the period. Biggest hint 1906..... Art Nouveau-- the organic lines v geometric of deco.
Thank you for watching!
OOOH LA LAA ❤
Merci
Beautiful beautiful video of this amazing place, and it's definitely on our next bucket list for Paris. You need your own TV show, my friend! 🌹
That’s so kind of you to say! Thank you for watching. I’m thrilled that you liked this video. 🥰🥰
Wonderful video thank you! …btw loving your sunglasses what brand ?
Thank you so much! I have an entire playlist on using the Paris metro with tips, tutorials, all the info you need so you can feel confident about using the system here in Paris. I hope you find that helpful! And my sunglasses are Jimmy Fairly.
I've joined your channel.....I saw this and I love this ..very very good job❤🎉
Thank you so much, Glenda! 😊
Wow. I can't wait to go next time I'm in Paris. A must see.
You’ll love it, Colleen. ☺️
OOOH GOOD ONE! I'm moving to France in October and will be doing monthly trips to Paris for design inspo. I have never heard of this museum. Merci beaucoup, beaucoup!
☺️☺️ Have fun!
Enjoyed the music choices & use of subtitles!
Thank you so much, Carol!
Great video. Don't forget you have 90 minutes to transfer on the paper ticket. I read they're doing away with the paper tickets in 2025 😢.
Good point!
I visited in 2022. Surprised you didn’t show the stunning crystal-effect mirrored skylight by architect Hugh Dutton over the whole centre courtyard, which allows the courtyard to be used as a reception hall. It’s dazzling and uses innovative glass technology and mirror. The French are very good at combining the modern with the old, albeit in this case it’s English design and engineering.
Thanks for watching!
Hi, does it need two tickets to transfer from Rer to metro ? Thanks
Hello. I’m not sure I understand the question. But if your round trip journey starts and ends in Paris, but requires use of RER, that will be calculated into the cost but won’t require additional tickets.
I had no idea that something like that exist in Paris. Thank you thank you thank you so much to show this increíble palacete. I could live in that bathroom for ever!!😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Happened upon your channel while purchasing the book of the Hotel de la Marine and AM enchanted! The entire video is wonderful and you are so good that it is almost palpable. I cannot wait to come back to Paris for this experience! Thank you so much. Liked and subscribed. ❤
What a gift this message is. 🥹 I truly appreciate your support, your kind words of encouragement, and for taking the time to share such caring feedback. Thank you! I hope you enjoy HDM as much as I clearly did 😅 and that you like the rest of the episodes in this series. Welcome to our TFL community! 🥰🥰
Your enthusiasm is as beautiful as the chateau! Thank you for this lovely experience! 😊
Thank you so much, Brandy!
STUNNING❤🎉
Thank you!!
Such an amazing tour. You explained the metro and the small details here and there, very very helpful. Im taking notes as I will be visiting this beautiful city in the month of November ❤ You look very Pretty 😍
Glad it was helpful! Be sure to check out my metro tutorial playlist. I have a lot more videos to help you feel prepared and confident before your trip!
@@ThisFrenchLife Thank you for replying!! I have been watching your videos all day. I checked the metro video, I will definitely get the app. There are many beautiful places in France, If I'm planning to go to one city or countryside near by Paris doing a 2 days trip, will it be possible to suggest a place? I thought Normandy but then I couldn't decide one city.
@@sanikakulkarni919 it’s hard to make those suggestions for you as I don’t know what your interests and budget are. But I will say that the closer you stay to Paris, the more time you’ll have to explore and experience vs transport to and from. It also depends upon how you like to travel. For me, I don’t like to be rushed. So I’d suggest day trips from Paris that take an hour or less in travel to the destination (as you still have to get to the train station before departure, return etc) vs longer overnight stay. But that’s just me. Here’s my metro playlist, which includes a video on how to use the train system in France. Bon voyage! Paris Metro Tips & Tutorials, Don't Make Mistakes. #ParisMetro ruclips.net/p/PLKLUoQxgk0MRTtrdNyvRAtmY9jVAkhhM2
Merci beaucoup ❤️ j'ai vraiment apprécié cette vidéo. c'était sublime😊
Merci! ☺️
Words can’t describe the beauty of this fabulous Chateau! Thank you for the tour!
My pleasure!
Cant wait !!!!❤
I hope you enjoyed the first episode!
I know this was made 2 yeqrs ago but damn it calmed me so much knowing what and how to do . Thank youuuuuuu
Thank you! Yes, it was made a little bit ago but nothing has changed! It’s all still very much valid and I hope it helps you travel easier in France. Be sure to check out my Paris metro series and playlist if you’re spending any time in the city! That should help too. ☺️
This is very specific because Banque Populaire, Crédit Agricole, Crédit Mutuel are based on a regional and “mutualiste” system. But this is not a “franchise” system. If you want to avoid this problem. Open an account with one of the two big (and old) national french private bank, BNP (Banque National de Paris) or Société Générale. For the spending limits, it often depends on the type of credit/debit card you have: normal, gold, premium, black, platinum… You also have the option to ask you bank adviser to choose their wealth branch. It is usually a private branch of their bank group where they handle privileged accounts, for privileged people, with privileged services, and with privileged higher spending limits.
As mentioned in the video, this is just my experience and what I’ve been through as an American living in France. But thanks for your perspective and sharing additional thoughts that others can review and discuss.
You don't explain that this building was built to be the "Garde meuble" of the Royalty , an official place to keep, save, and a sort of wherahouse of the furniture of all the palaces of the Royalty and this rooms ( bedrooms, salon, bathrooms, etc...) used to be the appartment (flat) of the director (CEO) of this administration. It was transformed later and after the revolution into the Minister of the Marine, (Navy ministery).
You are incorrect. I mention the garde meuble twice - at minutes at 3:19 and 6:43. But thanks for watching.
Thanks. A. Lot. For. Showing. This Video. It. Is. Going. To. Have. Priorty. In. My. Next. Visit. To. Paris. I. Hope. It. Will. Be. !!!!!!!!!!!
Most welcome 😊
Very well done, thank you, glad you share, i will visit that soon!!♥️
Thank you. Nikki!
💖
During the French Revolution in the 18 th century the guillotine was erected in front of this 'Hotel' and that is where the nobels including Louis XVI were murdered !
You’re absolutely correct!
The details and quality of the work are second to none! An incredible experience and the shop has some wonderful books and things to buy that I haven't seen in other museums.
Couldn't agree more!
What a beautiful video of this stunning treasure! Thank you for your lovely comments. My sister and her husband will be in Paris for the first time next month. They’ll be staying just across from The Louvre so I’ll be sure to send this along. I’m sure they’ll love to see it!💗
Perhaps they’d be interested in my companion guide? It’d be a great gift! I share day itineraries, activities, restaurants and more for that immediate area. I’m sure it would be very helpful! It’s linked in the description. Thanks for watching, Susan. I’m so glad you’re here!
fantastique! and eye opening to the inequality of the time. Merci. Mercy.
Many thanks!
🌹😍 💕 Lovely
Thanks 🤗
That was a fascinating insight into a world unbeknownst to the one that I am familiar with.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this! I’ve only been to Paris once, in 2022, and I fell hopelessly/desperately in love! It is my goal within the next five years to live in Paris even if it’s just for a few months. I will definitely add this to my list! I understand completely about being brought to tears by beauty, I came back from Paris saying I cried my way through Europe lol❤❤❤❤
I love this comment, Wendy. I’m so glad you’re here! And yes, until I moved here, it was absolutely gut wrenching every time I returned home. I completely understand!
@@ThisFrenchLife , When I get there, I will hit you up and we can have a coffee at an outdoor café. Heehee☕️😊
I just found your vlog! This is wonderful!
Thank you so much!!
Wow..soooo beautiful .. wonderful video content... lots of love and respect from India....

How beautiful! I love knowing about this though this video! I've been to Paris a few times and had no idea! 🇫🇷🤍🩷 Thank you so much for sharing!
You’re welcome 😊
I was in Paris a week ago and I didn't even know about this amazing place! I absolutely love visiting Versailles and now I have another amazing Chateau to visit!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!💖💖😍😍🎉
It's so good! Enjoy!
The absolute BEST tour/video of the Hotel de la Marine. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with all of us. Magnificent!
Doug, thank you for this wonderful feedback!
Absolutely charming.., congratulations❤
Thank you so so much! I appreciate your support, Jorge.
Question--- I tried a couple of times to buy round trip tickets on the Metro. Do the tickets expire after a certain time? Because I inserted my return ticket which I bought at the machine and it wouldn't take it when I was returning. I had to pay again, and this happened more than one time at two different stations.
Each ticket is a single use for the Paris metro city center. Once you leave the station, you discard that paper ticket and need a new one to enter. There’s no such thing as a RT single use ticket for Paris intramuros. Please see my other Paris metro tutorials. Another explanation could be that you accidentally demagnetized the ticket.
@@ThisFrenchLife Thank you so much. No wonder I was having trouble. I thought that I could just put in the return station to the destination station and purchase my return. So now I understand better. I'm used to the LIRR in New York.
@@rayeasummers9455 no problem! I hope you like the other metro and Paris train videos I have. Please check out my playlist!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I can only imagine how amazing and magical this was to experience!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this! I am always on the lookout for incredible things to see without all the other tourists surround. This looks simply divine. Thank you for such a thorough and wonderful guide!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed this tour, Don. And thanks so much for being here! I hope you enjoy the rest of the series ☺️
