I think Paris is a more classy, classic, elegant, city with a lot more beauty whilst London is a more edgy, daring, alternative city with more quirk and charisma. I love both 💖
I have to say London shocked me with all the goth fashion still for sale at every market, especially Camden.
Tasha Dezarae Swinney - not surprised, there are a lot of wacky and out there styles in London, vintage in very big as well, there’re dozens of vintage shops and vintage markets here.
i wouldn't call paris "classy"
@@aletheiaverite Paris is a shithole. Just stand at Gare du nord and look around you.
@MrAeronuk1 Honesty hurts but accurate
Being a French person living in London I find very funny all those Parisians telling me how life is so expensive in France. Come to London and you'll see what expensive means
When even belonging to the 10 % the most rich of the population is not sufficient to buy an appartment, sometimes even to rent it, you can say the city is very expensive. The only circumstance another city is much more expensive don't give you the right to say the contrary.
I totally disagree!
@@Elfian66 yeah to me that's the benchmark of a truly expensive city - when you're earning €62,000 /£60,000 and you still cant afford your own place
I don't know what your life is like in London/United Kingdom, But France, And, Especially, Paris Are Places With Very High Costs Of Living!!!
@@mariagabbott I mean 60K a year pretty much covers 99.9% of cities around the globe for decent living (perhaps not full on luxury). The only cities I say that wouldn't really cover is Monaco, Dubai and Singapore perhaps. But even Dubai and Singapore have some level of budget options when living. Monaco might be the only exception.
Hard to say! I'm English originally and lived in both cities for 4 years each - I loved Paris as a student when there was so much time to wander around, visit all the amazing museums etc, but I could not handle the strict work culture there or the constant judgement from other people, pressure to be skinny and conform with their uniform etc. I got so frustrated by the daily negative interactions in the end! Moving to London afterwards felt like being in disneyland by how friendly people were in comparison (even though people joke in the rest of the uk that Londoners are so rude) and I loved how people dress crazy and nobody looks twice! I enjoyed that in summer I could wear a dress and not worry about people giving me dirty looks for having my legs out for example. I noticed a huge improvement in my confidence when I moved to London and I felt I could be more 'myself'! Hard to say which I prefer because I love both cities so much and each have their pros and cons, those were just my observations! Now moved to Stockholm and that's a whole other kettle of fish :)
Amber deane - I think you would enjoy Barcelona, Lisbon, and Amsterdam, in the former two cities people are really warm and friendly, they enjoy life, and take the time to celebrate life, Amsterdam is a laid back, charismatic, and relaxed city, people have a “live and let live” mindset somewhat similar to London’s anything goes tolerant mindset. How do you find Stockholm? Are you learning Swedish?
I would also be curious on how is it in Stockholm. I am French and lived all over. Now in Ireland. That’s also a different life style. 😝
I got judged for wearing a hoodie with Japanese lettering and me wearing jeans with white hair
@@alchemy1769 where in London or Paris
I love your point of view.. I came to Paris for study and stayed one year.. I have visited London and I can sense straight away the diversity culture and general acceptance. I am very interested to know your life in Stockholm.. is it better than Paris and London?
I was born and raised in Paris, moved to London 7 years ago and just back from a trip to New York...
Definitely Team London!!!
I don't get tired of this city, it's energetic, opened minded , diverse.
I go often to Paris to visit family and friends and I always come back home (London) feeling more convinced!!!! London forever
Doffy Rob - Pardon me, but your racism is showing.
London is a very fashionable city but unlike Milan, Paris, and Scandinavian capitals we don’t really have a “defined look” or a uniform, though our creativity is our signature point/USP. We’re eclectic, there are so many different styles here.
French woman living in London - really agree with what you both said. It's actually nice to hear a New Yorker say how expensive London is. I always find the stats on cost of living false for London as there is such a huge discrepancy between the average salary for "normal workers" (office jobs to working at Pret-a-Manger) and the bankers (whose salaries are exorbitant and completely skew the average London salary). If you look at cost of living in London with what is a normal salary, it's really high. I work for a multinational corporation on a really good salary and there is no way I can afford living in zone 1 or even zone 2 on my own.
Yes I agree!
Not sure anybody actually 'lives' in zone 1(apart from 'the mega rich', not sure what area in Paris that is?) but a cup of coffee in London is not 7 Euros
@@Pistol_Knight no but a regular coffee is $7 AUD which is a massive RIP off for the quality you get 😂
@@mariagabbott Hard for me to agree/disagree as Coffee is an awful drink
@@Pistol_Knight OK but in london all you have are coffee shops chains (Costa, Starbucks, prêt) that's crap. Lack of personality. It's everywhere the same whatever tube station you get out of.
I’ve been living in London for three years and I lived in Paris before.
Basic difference: Paris is much smaller and easier to go from one point to another.
Paris is also more homogeneous. London has beautiful areas, but also some ugly areas not far from the centre. Cost of living is not that different, as London salaries are slightly higher. Rent is comparable, supermarket is cheaper in London, transportation is (much) cheaper in Paris. Eating out is also the same, as are the Museums, but most of them are free in London. Both cities have beautiful green areas, but Paris uses better the areas by the river.
Londoners are more welcoming than the Parisians.
Well. London deff has more parks. Paris not really
@@SPATX89paris has huge parks, woods
Thank you for having me Rosie! I’ll have to come to Paris sometime soon :)
Salut and Cheers! I'm a fan of you both! Two great RUclipsrs!!
thankyou for the information
My circle of Londoners love going to art galleries, museums, concerts, to the theatres, markets, car-boot sales/vintage shops, and we have dozens of wonderful ones in London! I also like going for walks in parks and when the weather’s good picnics in parks.
Sounds like you have lovely weekends ♥️
Love and London - London’s blessed to have so much culture I want to experience it to the fullest 💖 !
I've visited both and as an American in NYC, I think Paris is just more exotic. London speaks English and most of their pop culture's already pretty well known in America. Paris is more exotic, making it feel much more magical, the food, way the language sounds, accent, pop culture, music, it's more refreshing as an American.
I can understand that!
@@loveandlondon Haha same, I wish people could go back to traveling like normal again, but times and history has happened, stay safe and just hoping for the best!! :)
Completely the opposite for my American best friend. London is more exciting, cooler, larger, diverse, and often more beautiful. Architecturally more exciting too. That's my American friends analysis and my Mexican friends too.
Fellow Parisian here. I mostly agreed with everything, but a couple of inaccurate stuff stuck out to me. 1. Paris is notoriously under-bound compared to every other city on Earth. What this means is that only the downtown core is officially considered Paris and therefore many maps or statistics are completely skewed. 2. A lot of expats are obsessed with living within Paris, but most French people are very happy in the suburbs. The "many little villages" idea is very true regarding the suburbs, and coming back the underbounding, are just as close to the centre as London's. 3. I find Paris equally diverse compared to cities like London, Toronto or NYC. Part of the reason why its not so evident is because our downtown has become a sort of "Frenchie Theme Park" for tourists, but I really wouldn't say that it takes much effort at all searching for ethnic food for example.
Au sujet des frontières de Paris ils ont techniquement à moitié raison, la ville de Paris est en effet relativement petite comparé à d'autres grandes villes. Mais il est également vrai que pour comparer Paris au autres grandes ville on devrait parler plutôt de la métropole du Grand Paris.
Agree. There are plenty of ethnic neighborhoods in Paris. Jewish, North African, African, Chinese etc. In fact there are two Chinatowns. London has one.
I am Mexican living in Mexico, as a tourist I love both cities. I think London is more expensive than París, I loved how the modern and the old and classic intermingled in London. I prefer London, in part because I speak English.
According to The Economist (Worldwide cost of living survey 2019) Paris is now officially the most expensive city in the world to live in, alongside Singapore and Hong-Kong. Then comes Zurich, Geneva, Osaka, Seoul, Copenhagen, New-York, Tel Aviv and Los Angeles. London is actually far behind (22nd) but it might not be a bad thing. Some french newspapers say that the survey methodology is flawed, though.
I LOVE that you and Jess have teamed up!! Both of you have channels that I ADORE!!
England = Drinks whenever or whatever time you feel like it. 😍
@@NotEvenFrench But New Zealanders/Kiwis are seen as bigger drinkers to us here in the UK. :)
Lol!
Actually London is not that much bigger than Paris if you take into account all the suburbs around Paris. Historically London wasn’t that big, it’s just that a lot of the suburbs you had around London were merged into London as the years went by. In Paris they decided to not do it that. They actually did the opposite by subdividing the suburbs in even smaller pieces by creating the new « départements » (91, 92, ..., 95). And so this is why Versailles or Créteil are outside of Paris as Richmond or Stratford are still inside London. The tube outside of central London is often more comparable to the RER than the Paris Métro.
This is true. That said, NYC and Paris are similar in that most major attractions and hotspots are concentrated in densely populated areas, ie, Inner Paris and Manhattan.
This was fun to watch. When my husband and I went to London and Ireland on our honeymoon almost 30 years ago, we were afraid to talk out loud on the tube because the people were so quiet. However, when we got to Ireland, it was the exact opposite. As soon as anyone heard us talking they would immediately start talking to us about being from “the States”, and then enter into lengthy conversations with us. We laugh about the difference to this day:)
Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and northern England are all very chatty and talkative areas/regions/countries, people make conversation with strangers on public transport there, they greet strangers, they treat strangers like friends.
Southern England is different, people are reserved, private, they keep themselves to themselves so they’re somewhat aloof, and in that way are more similar to other European countries with reserved cultures like the Netherlands, France, Belgium, etc.
People in Ireland are so friendly and nice. I would live there but prefer London and Paris (bigger cities).
It depends on what part, and your socio-economic status. There is the house-share and lodging option in London, which makes living costs more accessible. Leisure and social life can be cheaper in London - lots of free activities, eating out can be cheaper, also cheaper drinks, safer for women on their own too.
Je viens decouvrir et j'aime vraiment la façon super respectueuse avec laquelle tu abordes la France, les français et nos habitudes 🥰 continues comme ça, c'est vraiment cool ce que tu fais 😀
I use to live in London for grad school. I'm moving to Paris in December so I'll let you guys know but London really has my heart.
I'm moving to Paris soon so your feedback would be truly appreciated.
OMG!!! I LOVEEEE BOTH OF YOU!!! THIS IS SOO GREAT!
As a French newly arrived in London, the thing that chocks me the most is the alcohol culture here. Any social activity is more of a drinking activity and it feels like if there was no drinking, people would not even go out, which is kinda sad. And it's not just drinking in a sophisticated way like in France, it's literally about trashing yourself out with glasses and glasses or bottles of alcohol. Pre drinking before going out, drinking on the way there, drinking at your destination. It literally is going out for the sake of drinking. Of course alcohol is a thing in France but it's never been like that in my own experience.
Interesting note on living in the suburbs - just compare the literal translation of ‘suburbs’ to the French ‘banlieue’, which has the opposite connotations. Banlieue suggests dirty, cheap, rough neighbourhoods compared to ‘suburbs’ which suggests green, quiet, safe, family areas. But they both mean the outskirts of a city!
moyse001 It’s not entirely true. You can have « banlieues chics » and you can have « banlieues chaudes ». If you just say « une banlieue », indeed you probably mean a bad suburb but the word can be used to mean any kind of suburb. « Je vis en banlieue » could very well be you living either in Saint-Denis or in Levallois-Perret which are very different neighbourhoods.
I was born in London though I live in New Zealand’s South Island, but I would choose to live in Paris because I love the French and because I speak French (not super fluently but enough to get by comfortably). Of course I’d be visiting London all the time!
I am very fond of both Paris and London. I like to fly to London, stay a bit then take the train n to Paris, and fly back home to DC from there.
London to me feels like home. The language of course, and culture is similar to DC. London is more diverse.
The interestingly, the best French restaurant I’ve even eaten in was in London.
Paris is more of an adventure, and I like it for the art and general aesthetic quality. But really too many Parisian service people are unnecessarily obnoxious. But I don’t care. I love Paris all the same.
So I am team both. But I would rather live in London.
Definitely #Paris ! I feel like maybe it's because my personality suits a city more like Paris, but Paris all the way!!!
Can you explain further? I'm moving to Paris and I'm so scared about all the negative feedback I've heard.
Very interesting video !! I live in the suburb of Paris (91) and i love this city. But last year i went to London for one week during summer and since that, i love this city. I don't know why exactly but i felt so good there. I had some kind of feeling that people is less stressed there. Moreover there is parks everywhere, like if i could breathe more easily there :) But it was maybe the holidays' effect ! 😁
The parks are amazing!
Love you collaborations with others.....very interesting..
Went to Paris in 2015 and London in 2017...... I loved both but Paris seemed easier and more cohesive for me. Almost intuitive. I loved the Covent Garden and Seven Dials area of London very much but other parts left me a bit colder. In Paris, I loved it all. Felt more cozy and less crowded. It was November for both trips so not different times of the year.
Great video. Thanks for doing this one.
You should visit London in the summer, the vibes are amazing. There are many green parks in London that are magnificent in summer
I've only spent a few days in London... I'm from New England in the US and I felt really at home there, except that everyone had a different accent of course lol
Meat, drinks and cheese - my 3 favourite food groups!
Paris is still charming and beautiful, but #TEAMLONDON all the way! London is just so much more diverse, tolerant and fun! safer and cleaner than Paris and NYC. the cost is horrendous but if you don't mind living outside zone1 then it's not that bad. 'if you're bored of London, you're bored of life' I've moved around all my life including France and US, but London is hands down my favourite city for long term residence.
I was just in Paris for a week this past few weeks ago and then I was in London for a week staying on the cheap and just walking around everywhere too. Definitely Paris is a lot more denser and there is a lot more nice little restaurants here and there. Though London was easier to traverse. I had fun on a Saturday night when two French men took my Welsh friend and I around the sites and sounds of pubs and clubs of Paris. I always spoke in basic French to people all the time and everyone I met was happy with my effort in this. And so I had many a happy moment with people everywhere I went . In London was definitely a cool pub culture and I met a lot of different people too from all over Europe and had lots of fun. Because speaking English was easier.
Deciding between Paris and London is like trying to choose which brother or sister is better yeah.
Lol that's a good way of putting it!
Team Paris for me, I find London *too* sprawling and like the compactness of Paris within the Périph'. But the 'banlieue' includes many pleasant, middle class suburbs as well as the notorious high-rise estates. Re. property, I think expectations of size vs price are much higher in the UK than in France. In Paris, people accept living in studio apartments even if they only have 20 sq m or less. In the UK that is seen as an unliveable amount of space but in London rents are so high people are forced to flat share if they want a proper kitchen and a bathroom with a tub. However, much the same as London, people have to commute to Paris from the Ile de France for work if they want a more spacious, affordable home.
Thank you, great video!
Hello, for me these are the two biggest and best channels ... both about London and Paris ! ;) This video was a dream come true to see y two together. S2 THANKS FOR THAT, SEE !?
Thank you so much Amanda!
@@loveandlondon you're welcome ! ,3 S2
I'm a NZer that visits Paris regularly and try to spend a night or
3 in London, where I feel a great weight lift off me, as I don't speak French.
London by far. Biased but still London is the best.
My absolute favourite two cities in the universe 💓 - I am living in London, but travel to Paris in every chance I get
Princess sirenity Bienvenue à Paris miss! although we have no Nando's, it's a shame cause i love it😉
Ahhhh!!! My faves in one place!
A fellow Kiwi here. #TeamLondon but loooooove visiting Paris
Comparing greater London ( more than 5 zones) with Paris intra-muros ( one zone) it is very sensible.
I spend one year in London: in spring and summer it is really fine, but in automn and winter it is horrible: dark, dull, rainy. And this period lasts very very long...
Hi Rosie, thank you so much for making this video, it is really helpful. I am #teamlondon because I absolutely love the english mentality, that english pride ,the fact that they're not approachable, it's the best and easiest way to have your privacy because english people don't care about you at all if they don't know you
Yes spot on 👌 that’s a southern England mentality, Northern England is different they approach and interact with strangers similar to Wales, Ireland, and Scotland.
@@Samchocolate11 thank you, that's very good to know, I didn't know that northern England had a different mentality, really interesting
Rose Dawson - You’re welcome. Yes there’s a north-south cultural divide in England, as a southerner it often feels like you’re visiting a foreign country when you visit the north.
Blueskies11, my friend moved to the north a couple of years ago and found it odd that strangers smiled and said "hello"! :D
Mia Schu - I find it odd too :’D we don’t acknowledge strangers down south and I much prefer it that way, southerners are very private and reserved.
I just got back from a two week vacation in London and it was AMAZING. Everything was pretty expensive (the numbers really added up by the end of my trip) and the food wasn’t super great but nonetheless I would absolutely love to come back to London. I’ve never been to Paris. I’d like to visit one day once I have more money. As of now I’ve only experienced London but I loved every second of it.
We have amazing food but you have to know where you're going and expand beyond British fare :) come back one day again and I'll help you!
What hit me the most were the typical beautiful old houses in central London. While in Paris it is mainly 7 storey apartments pretty much everywhere, it rarely gets higher, except in some non central arrondissements.
yes...exactly!! London architecture is awesome
You obviously missed a lot in Paris!
Guess you have not seen much of Paris, the architecturally most diverse capital in Europe along with Prague.
My two favourite cities ❤️
As a born & bred Londoner its funny to hear an American s perspective especially having lived in New York as an expat for 5 yrs & sadly didn’t have a great experience in NY! 😂 As for the salary, I would say London salaries are higher than in New York & Paris for the same job,they are at least 25% higher based on my experience at least! To the question what do Londoners do for fun, strange there was no mention of theatre,gigs,concerts,comedy nights which are all certainly popular for real Londoners, not just pub crawling! 😂
As part of my job, I was privileged to be paid by my company to live & work in several countries as expat - couple of years in Australia,3 yrs Singapore,2 yrs Ireland,2.5 years in Paris & 5 yrs in USA( New York) & my personal worst experience unfortunately was New York! Not to say it is a bad city, visiting on holiday is great but found living in New York as an expat, a very challenging experience! Not sure why anyone would assume Paris is less expensive than London though, found it actually equally expensive & salaries are lower for the same job in my experience anyway. But I did enjoy my time in Paris & loved Australia and Singapore but in the end there is no place like London. Absolutely love the wide variety of things I do with friends over weekends in London - the theatre,the concerts,the comedy shows, the quiz nights in the local pub- this is what makes London different to other cities that I have lived in but then again I could be biased 😂❤
team london
I’m #teamboth Hahaha oh no. And to be honest both countries have their own special place in my heart. I just love that each offers their own unique lives.
It would’ve been better if you could get a parisienne who lives in the uk to comment on london
Yes!
I like London better because there is more green places, threes , square, hudge parcs, and squirrels
London is winner
#TeamParis but I think London and Paris are hard to compare. I recognized that most Parisians love London. I wonder if Londoners also love Paris that much?
No.......
quoi de neuf - they do! Londoners really like Amsterdam and Berlin.
I'm parisian but I don't really like London, I prefer scandinave cities. it's according to everyone's tastes :)
quoi de neuf - Londoners admire Paris, they appreciate it and are in awe of it, but as other commenters have said they don’t love it in the way that they love Amsterdam, numerous cities in Spain e.g Barcelona, Madrid etc, and Berlin. Londoners like alternative edgy cities, Berlin and Amsterdam are definitely that.
But millions people in the world love Paris. And seriously not all Parisians love London ^^
How about a similar video comparing Paris and/or London with Rome?
#TEAMPARIS - I dearly love Paris like no where else on earth and I dream of visiting again some day.
I think I have to go with Team London. I have so many places I want to visit in England! I can go to visit Paris easily on the Eurostar while living in London.
I found that eating in London was overall much cheaper than in Toronto and Vancouver. That includes eating out and buying groceries. When I lived in London, food costs hardly made a dent in my budget. How would you compare food costs in London to Paris? Whether it's eating out or cooking at home? Thanks for the video btw!!
London definitely cheaper! Waitrose vs Monoprix? Waitrose sooo much quality.
En parlant de Brunch, est ce que tu as finalement trouvé l’endroit à Paris avec LE brunch parfait ? 🤞🏻🤞🏻
#teamparisandlondon I am french have lived in the UK for seven years and although I have been back more than 20 years I love both cities
Hi, This is very awesome video. I am in the process of making decision to study further either in Paris or London and have been extremely back and forth about it. I am 30, originally from India, spent 6 years in the US and currently taking a bit of a break from work. An input here will really help.
I went to both Paris and London on my honeymoon in November and fell in love with the street fashion in London. You are sooo right about the “uniform” in Paris. I noticed it immediately that everyone wore black or navy, bare nails and face and Chelsea boots. It was like an unspoken agreement! But londoners had all kinds of looks. Especially the MEN. The menswear was soooo cool. Colorful socks peeking out of tweed suits and very cool shoes. My husband was drooling.
YES! London street style is the best! It’s so inspiring, eclectic , and artistic. When I don’t know what to wear I find London street style gives me more inspiration on how to dress more than any magazine ever could.
Your husband was drooling over the MEN!? Uh oh, you in danger girl.
Hi thanks for this video. Paris and London rents are both expensive yes, but could you briefly discuss the rent for people that lives 1-2 hours outside the city and only goes there for work?
As for the size of the two cities, they're basically the same. The tube in London is the equivalent of the RER in Paris.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_urban_areas_in_the_European_Union
Thé RER isn’t Paris.
London baby! 👍🇬🇧
London 19.8m visitors a year, Paris 17.4m...
What is the average cost per person of a dinner out. Not an expensive one, but just in the middle? Here in California, it is about $12 to $15 now with people making $15 an hour to work there. The cost has gone up because of that.
In Paris, a decent dinner is around 30 euros. Minimum wage is 8 euros per hour after deductions.
Stop comparing absolult prices per square meter. Compare rent price VS average net income or the pourcentage of an average salary you have to pay for one meter square... You'll see that the part of your income you have to put in your Rent is higher in Paris on average.
Love Paris and London. Been to both cities 4 times. 5th time in Paris in 3 days time. Cheers from the other side of the world. 🇦🇺
Fab!! You both are so pretty! Where I live it still takes 1 hr to get Around!!! Tell me what is the purpose of yr lives?
There’s quite a bit of difference in salaries between Australia and New Zealand. By some estimates, salaries in Australia are 40% higher than New Zealand!… Here’s a video about New York City for comparison purposes with other major cities: ruclips.net/video/KtcNX1qaQ3Q/видео.htmlsi=J9eo7UOblHasLd7q
I visited London last week, it was great, very crowded...I want to go back and see some musicals. I loved that there were so many restaurants and fast food as well as street food. The National Gallery is free and hosts world class and world renowed paintings. The only thing I didn't like is the Tube, it's very small inside and stuffy. I don't see myself living there though. Paris is more charming in my opinion and a bit less claustrophobic. Would I live there, I don't think so. But I don't think I'd like to live in a big city anyway. It's fun for a day or two.
Well, Team Lyon
So when we visited London we stayed in Islington, which felt very outer ring - Still London, but kind of suburban. How would you consider Islington?
Kit Schroeder - I love Islington, especially Angel Islington. I wouldn’t consider it outer London nor suburban, it’s north London/north-east London and north London has a more relaxed, suburban-leafy, vibe to it. Outer/suburban London are areas like Enfield. Edmonton, Edgware, Croydon, Bromley, Sutton, they’re on the edge of London not too far from being outside of London city.
I don't like the terminology 'suburban'. London is very much a city like no other in that it is very much a city made up of villages. For example, I live in Highgate which is very much London but is perhaps different from the Tourist preconception of central London and a bit of West equating to London in its entireity. London is such a patchwork of communities and I feel that to label them as 'suburbs' devalues them somehow. Yes, there are boring London commuter suburbs but Islington is not one of them. It only feels outer ring if you consider only the centre to be London.
I love also london
London work sounds great. In canada we get 5 if any depending on what you do, at my place you get more added on the longer you're there. We usually eat at our desks it's hard to take lunch breaks.
Even if we have some vacation days many places dont seem to like you taking it -.-
Similar here we dont talk to each other in the city but the suburbs are so friendly and chatty
I'm gonna have to buy a new wardrobe on my trip, I live in sweat pants , even my job many are in sweats or casual wear 🤣
NOT ENOUGH RESTAURANT VARIETY ????
OK sorry to disagree. I think you said your from the 9th district, here are some VARIOUS RESTAURANTS:
Brunch : l'atelier saisonnier 58 rue la Fayette. (It's a as much as you can eat... So you'll be alright)
Burger (there are a lot of that but) le dépanneur 27 rue pierre fontaine
Indian food : Om Shiva, 28 rue saint Lazare
Quality french food (and original) : le Padam Padam 29 rue Véron (ok this one is on the 18th)
Grilled meat : Flesh 25 rue de Douai
Ethiopian : Addis Ethiopian 52 rue Blanche
North African (as couscous) : l'Oriental 47 avenue Trudaine
Italian (no pizza) : Salsamenteria di Parma 40 rue st George
Spanish : Bocata 31 rue Milton
And I don't talk about asian food, bagels and pizza because those are eeeeverywhere
And that just SOME restaurants in your neighbourhood.... So nono, no variety at all.
Let me know if you liked them !
Ps : just as a little gift, here is a reaaaallly good blog to know about amazing restaurants :

Have fuuuuun :D
As an American I’ve heard it’s easier to get a French visa and also easier to access French healthcare system versus UK visa.
#teamparis, but I thoroughly enjoy both of your channels, so this collab was great for me!
Merci pour votre belle vidéo. J'habite à paris. C'est une ville magnifique, probablement la plus belle ville du monde.
👍❤️🇫🇷
Thank you for your beautiful video. I live in Paris. It's a beautiful city, probably the most beautiful capital in the world.
Rent in London is very expensive. Apart from that, London is not an expensive city to live in, especially if you live in the suburbs.
#teamparis but London is growing on me. I just connected more with the French than with the British. I miss France (and Paris) a lot. I don’t miss l’administration française though!
I really love both, becuz it is small and beautiful out there and some people speak English and some people speak French words. Some people will get married and have kids and New York and London are relatively different than Paris.
The difference is, in london there are some very cool places outside the city, full of young people... it's not the same in paris. The suburbs in paris are either for families or just cheap and depressing areas. It's just not cool outside the city in Paris.

Then you should try Sydney which takes more than 2 hours to get from the middle of the city!!! Our radius is 50 miles so diameter 100 miles!!! I will take london or Paris any day!!!
I’ve lived in Syd and London. London is TEN TIMES bigger than Syd. They’re just talking about central Lon predominantly. Zones 1-4. If you include greater London it’s a couple hours AT LEAST to commute end to end.
TheMissLexi sorry you are wrong.....I have lived in London and Sydney has a larger DIAMETER than London....NOT RADIUS!! Just saying
# Paris. I find it prettier, safer, more functional and way, way more affordable. I love bistros, crepes and do it yourself picnics. For Decent brunch in Paris, go to Who's in the Marais, 28 euro gets you access to all you can eat omelettes, crepes, cheese, charcuterie, salad, tiramisu, profiteroles, smoked salmon, bacon, toast, scrambled eggs, juice, hot chocolate and coffee.

London is probably the most expensive city in Europe to live in. The further away the cheaper everything gets. :)
but it's the greatest city
Phoenix Fire No, It’s actually Rekyavik
If you're a local, buying food is MUCH cheaper and there's a wider variety than Paris. Dining out in London is very expensive, but there are much better cheap food options. Flats more expensive in London, but salaries are so high. I say London because people are more civil and calm. Central London feels more safe than Paris. People are free to do what they want.
Lol buddy Switzerland is in the EU try living in Geneva or Zurich
Mate according to date the most expensive city in the world is Oslo, Norway. But we can't ignore the fact that the gdp per capita of Britain 🇬🇧 is 42,943 US dollars whereas the gdp per capita of Norway 🇳🇴 is 81,697 US dollars but as we are talking about the the cities only then the average salary in London 🇬🇧 is around 58,000 US dollars(I am not sure about this) but not all regions in London provide this salary regions like inner west London the salary is like 237,200 US dollars which is more than the average earning of Liechtenstein(the wealthiest country in the world) but as the average salary of the whole London city 58,000 US dollars it is whereas the average salary in Oslo 🇳🇴 is around 87,011 US dollars. So London is not the most expensive city in Europe, it's Oslo but as their earnings is very much higher then Londoners average income, people in Oslo really are very comfortable even with such expensive prices and live a luxurious life.
London is bigger because London includes many outer suburbs as the city. Paris is very definite that way. One you hit the highway, that’s it. Not Paris anymore ;-)
I would love to live in the UK but I live in the states 😅 but I don't think I'll ever get to visit do to income 🐿️ but I will always dream
i lik it verry much
J'adore Paris et . . London is also an amazing city where you can get and do anything you want (if you can afford it).
s'il vous plaît, ne me faites pas choisir! (ah. . .mais Paris. . . .)
#TeamParis.

Love Paris. Go every year and have family there,
I love both but in different ways. My favourite including NYC, it's London. However, London's food, the majority is bland, so sorry, unless you belong to private club so you could go to their restaurants. Fashion or style wise, the more eccentric you are the better. But with this vlogger era, every vlogger in the world that have made it in fashion wear the same everything and has the same style so it gets boring to watch. Having lived in London for 5 years and Milan for decades and visiting NYC often and now living in Indonesia, to me I love Milan's style the best. It has composition, codes, rules that will never make you out of place, anywhere! Conformity to their style is the best as it is understated. By the way, London is expansive, so it's their mentality as opposed to the Continent, they can be very narrow-minded.
Are you joking? I agree with everything you have said about style but in terms of food; London is unrivalled. This is due to its huge immigrant population-it is the most culturally diverse city in the world. London food is anything but 'bland', London food is world food.
@@evimbourger No, I'm not joking. Could be my Italian palate. The best food in the world to me as a world traveller and citizen: French, Italian, Japanese, Thai. The rest is a close second. Mexican etc. I lived in London, I visited several times. I could never go and sit somewhere to have even a simple cappuccino and it tastes satisfying. I love English breakfast though, that's the best in the world. Doesn't mean huge immigrant equals good food. Sorry.
@@evimbourger there is not such a thing as world food. Food is part of a country 's culture, and there is not such a thing as world culture.
Hi,
I'm Parisian and lived in London a few years ago.
London is indeed waaaay more expensive making the quality of life lower as not only rent but also food, transportation and healthcare are more expensive. Living in a shared flat was definitely a big turn off for me.
I was pretty shocked at how many people were eating lunch at their desks.
On the plus side, many multinational companies manage international accounts from London or have their hubs in London which allows you to expand your skills.
Overall it is a complete different way of life.
