I don't know how it is for others, but for me Paris becomes romantic when I interact with French culture. Of course, anywhere else in France I can do that, but French culture in concentrated form is found in Paris. I feel romantic Paris on a very personal level when I go to a concert by a French musician, when I read a French author, when I watch a film by Godard or Melville, when I drink coffee on a Parisian terrace or when I eat charcuterie. somewhere in Le Marais. I feel romantic Paris in all these little pleasures. Nice mustache by the way! :))

It's a sense you feel when you're there...Paris has it. The dunes of Cape Cod have it. It provides the surrounding emotionalism that completes your feelings of love for the person you're in love with. So yes..Paris fits...it is romantic..so are other locations. It's personal. 🫠

I just got back from Paris and took the entire 3 weeks just walking to all of the arrondissements and getting the vibe from all of them. Needless to say, each day. I clocked in over 30,000 steps. I was really intrigued to discover some of them, Le Marais being one of them. Once there, it didn’t take long to be a bit disappointed because of all of the obvious tourists. Yes, I too was a tourist, but I wasn’t there to hit the highlights and move on. I wanted to see the hideaways and the architecture and find a quaint cafe. After walking around most of the day, I was ready to head back to the 17th where I was staying and I finally found the Marais I was hoping for. Please don’t allow it all to be sold out to the tourists.

I love your videos. Very deep, well crafted, and fun to watch.

Another beautiful video by a beautiful lady. What is your day job? Are you a fashion model or actress? I was hoping I could visit Paris last summer but I’ve been having health issues. Hopefully I can make it there this fall. It’s been about 45 years since I’ve been there so it’s about time! In the meantime I’ll have to try to find the romance in Los Angeles, California. There are some beautiful places here connected by the spider web of freeways - my favorite being the beaches. So I’ll just have to find romance on a sunny California beach😊

Hey, congrats for the video. And very well for being so dedicated and learning English that well without ever lived in an English speaking country. Personally I always thought you were from US or similar due to the perfectly spoken language. Beautiful and poetic, but also funny video, as usual. Thanks for sharing and congratulations

Such a well made and detailed video ! Thank You. I have found a great accomodation in Buttes Aux Cailles and another one in Lamarck Caulaincourt in Montmarte, which one would you pick to stay for 4 to 5 days and why ?

Beautiful Video Aida ❤❤❤Keep the Good Work Greetings from Miami Florida Saludos ❤😊

Agree 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

So enjoy the artfullness of your videos, the personal touches are a "chef's kiss" ~

Thank you so much for this summary of what it is really about when encountering this wonderful city. Intimacy is key.

I would walk around. I would sit in an outdoor cafe. I would watch the women and notice their style and hope that it is different than American women's.

Paris has, and will always have, a special place in my heart. I've been five times, if I remembered and counted correctly. Most recently was right before Christmas in 2022, when the trip was interrupted by us (primarily me) getting sick with COVID. And just about everything else going wrong, from my watch battery dying, to my laptop charger being left at home (and me having to try to get a new one at FNAC), to our hotel having the wrong dates and us having to get a new hotel, to the jackhammer at 8 AM every morning against our bathroom wall. But… I loved that trip, perhaps even more than some earlier ones. And every day in the nearly two years since, I've felt HOMESICK. For Paris, a place I've never lived more than a week. LA - where I'm from and where I live - can be outstandingly beautiful. Go for a short hike in the hills, and look over the Santa Monica Bay and the gorgeous mansions in the hills, and on a clear day, see from the ocean on one side past Downtown's skyscrapers on the other, even to the snow-covered mountains in the distance in winter. The beach, and the pier(s). The Getty Museum, and the architecture of the complex, and the views, and the gardens. Union Station. The views from Mulholland Drive. The parks; we're NOT just a concrete jungle. Famous spots where HUNDREDS of movies and TV shows were filmed, like the “Beverly Hills Cop” and the “Pretty Woman” hotel on Wilshire Blvd. But Paris… there's just art for art's sake, everywhere, around every little corner, on just about every building. And yes, I got engaged ON the Eiffel Tower, not under it. 24 years ago, back before 9/11 (it was actually 9/9/2000). Before metal detectors to get anywhere near it. Before the bag checks. Before all the construction. Before all of the “keep off the grass” signs. When it was a wide, open, PUBLIC space, for the PUBLIC. Our actual wedding - 12 years later (and the engagement itself was 7 years in) - was in the US. Las Vegas, to be exact, with a reception in a French Restaurant under their fake Eiffel Tower, and with Parisian-themed everything from the invitations to the model Eiffel Towers on the tables to the Eiffel Tower keychain giveaways. For me, yeah… Paris is ALWAYS romantic, even through the dog poop and the pee smells, and the crowded Metro, and the snow and ice in winter, and the broken, dirty streets. I don’t like the tourists there anymore than I like them here in LA, either.

Photogenic location surrounding a photogenic presenter. Kudos. Great video!

Very nice video and your commentary.

After a nice diner, just take a walk with your partner , down small streets. The next thing you know, you have covered miles of streets, and spent hours talking and getting closer to your partner. That is pure romance.

Is Paris Still Romantic? Yes, if you like rats, dog poops, dirt and unpicked garbage, lots of graffiti, homeless people, everything overpriced, and rude people.

Lovely vlog!

I am almost afraid to watch this. The emotions I felt upon visiting Paris in 2022 after my wife's death were intense, private, perfect, and built upon connections to France of seventy years of family and language and culture. The bodily ache I felt to get back in 2023 to be there, to get there again, was almost unendurable, but I went with a supreme romantic confidence. The sensations I felt in Paris, in Bordeaux, in Montpellier, in spring 2024 were those of warmth, love for the people, and respect for the history of Paris and the language and cuisine and culture of France. I plan to be in Paris twice in 2025. It is, next to Rome, for me, the most important place to be in the world as an old man as it was as a child.

Once more, Aida, you are a refuge from the pain and sorrow of the times. If I had to pick one place on the planet as the epicentre of all that is good, it would be Paris. Please keep your videos coming. I need them.

I agree, I like to overthink my overthinking! Nice vid Aida

being a french far from Paris, I don't go that much, but everytime, it's always a "bonheur" to wander near to the bank of the Seine.

Romantic for me is a simple expression of love . Can be a sweet hug ,a passionate kiss 💋 or whatever you want to do for express your love . 🩵🌟💋

Anywhere is romantic when you’re with the right person

Here I am sitting in my apartment in Pasadena, California, and 95° weather. My husband and I spent nine days in Paris in September. I had been wanting to go to Paris France since I saw a travel video about Paris in the 80s. I knew that I was going to go before I turned 50. But I went at 51. my biggest fear was that I was going to suffer from par syndrome because of my expectations. However, my expectations have changed over the years because of the reality of adults life and putting things in perspective. When we landed in Paris after spending an hour in customs, our taxi driver drove us to our hotel in the Batingnolle neighborhood. Immediately, I felt a weird sense of being at home and a place. I’ve never been. Staying in the 17th was a good idea because of how village like it appeared to us. It was manageable. Everyone was super friendly and nice. Luckily I speak a little French. This was enough to open up, the world to me and my husband and made our visit all the more better. Each day we spent walking and walking and getting lost but discovering such beauty and romance in a city that is eternal. Every time we would get off of metro stop or a bus we would discover some thing that was just wonders to our eyes. I love that you mentioned the Jardin des plantes. While we were trying to find the pantheon and getting horribly turned around on the bus, we decided to get off at the Jardon, the plants and walk-through, which was an excellent idea because my husband loves plants eventually ourselves to pantheon and in all of its splendor, not to mention the fact that it was just down the street to Jardin des Luxenberg. everything about Paris that I felt that I would feel when I got there was on point. Is it romantic in a way it is and in the way it isn’t what I found. Romantic was my husband and I being able to get lost be patient with each other and be soothed by the beauty of the city. We were both charmed and excited about all of the things that we had set out to see. We didn’t get a chance to see everything, but it gave us an excuse to work hard and save our money so we can go back. What blessing is that you get to live in a city that is constantly exposing itself and showing you what it has the possibilities to be every day.

That is a wonderful love letter to Paris

Aida still makes Paris look romantic even while dispelling a few myths. Great video! Hooray for Paris' parks. One of my favourite memories is sitting in Jardin du Luxembourg first time I arrived in the city. It was early and I had the whole place almost to myself while I waited to check-in to my hotel. The grandeur of it all🙂

I lived in Paris for a year and yes it is romantic! Every memory I have exceeds any Hollywood version and any movie I’ve seen. Paris me manque!

You can find romance in any city. Just as you will likely smell pee in any city.❤❤❤

Romance = compatibility.

Ireland is the best place to learn how to speak and write English.

I absolutely adore your Pars perspective. The video is a work of art.

Well i think it have always been a fashion capital. Now instagram and artsy cafe photos are what people look at when it comes to fashin/art. So Paris is still fashionable just in a modern way. And most people upload their wedding photos or when they read at a cafe looking all cultured.. Its just because Paris is fashionable and hip/cool. I for one really want to visit and i would even like to try to live/work there for a year or two. But we will see what happends. I will however visit it for sure to check it out myself and get my own opinion of the place. Id also love to visit the more mountainous reigions up north/north east. Thanks for another cinematic and interesting video Aida.

That's a good question, with the answer within it 👍 Many times , romantic is in reality superficial or scam_antic..

Paris est chic comme vous ❤

I loved this video the most and Adia not only you are beautiful but also funny and friendly at the I enjoy the subject too very much

Great food @ Wework, did not know.

To quote my first French love, Amelie Poulain " Without you, todays emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's." Romance brings hope to the heart and change to the mind.

Very charming, thoughtful, skillful...your talks almost seem unscripted, but one can tell there's excellent writing behind them...

Paris is undoubtedly evocative, atmospheric, beautiful and yes romantic. The exceptions are of course where there are hordes of tourists and the type of instagrammers that bring flowers, change of clothes etc to create cringe worthy cliches.

It is refreshing to watch your videos, not only because you have a camera person/cinematographer that captures you better, but also because you make viewers reflect and smile. Or maybe I am just overthinking that 😎

At 4 a.m. it is :)
