- I begin 2023 by taking the Eurostar from London to Paris, showing what the experience is like in Standard Premier Class. It's also my first visit to France's capital city, despite travelling to the country four times!
After arriving in Paris, I take a sneak peek at the Eiffel Tower, before watching PSG at the Parc des Princes, getting the chance to see Messi play live.

I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and RUclipsr who's been to 60 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017.
I have travel series' from many of the world's best (and least) known destinations. I filmed the first vlogs on my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China. A proper solo trip around Eastern Europe followed after graduating from University in the summer of 2017, taking me to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. This marked the start of my efforts to turn vlogging into a full-time job.
After that European trip I explored much of Asia: visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan.
I have also travelled to North Africa and the Middle East fairly extensively over the last five years, filming videos in Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine.
I've travelled to North America just once as a RUclipsr, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was as a child on family holidays.
In 2022, I took my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting Kenya and Tanzania, before heading to the Middle East, stopping in Dubai and Lebanon. Europe followed, covering both the Greek and Turkish sides of Cyprus, and afterwards going back to Italy for the second time to cover Milan and Sicily. I then visited the Caribbean for the first time, covering the Dominican Republic, before heading to both Brussels and Amsterdam, then covering Taiwan and the Philippines in Asia. I finished off the year with a trip around Morocco.
I started my travels in 2023 by finally visiting Paris, taking the Eurostar from London.

Hey all, if you enjoyed this video, please be sure to give it a like above, it helps a lot. Merci!
Done mate ; keep up the good work . Love the videos
Nice to see you in Paris ! I watched and enjoyed your videos when you went to Algeria (my native country) and now you're in Paris where I do live actually. I really like your videos. You're always considerate and kind. Bon voyage and good luck for your future travels !
What team do u support?
Done
What website do you recomend buying PSG tickets from?
I appreciate how respectful you are to others while creating your content.
Congratulations on being understanding of others when filming
Well Done Jason, I've watched a few videos on the Eurostar but not one so far that presented the experience so clearly and efficiently
Have been to Paris twice A wonderful city.Thanks for the memories.John in Chicago
Jason Billam, I think Paris has a distinctive culture, history and architecture as well!
I am so amazed and I’ve booked my Eurostar tickets to Paris so excited for a weekend in Paris 😊
Thanks Jason, I admire your way of enjoy the opportunities, and not be afraid of traveling, going out alone, as we say in French "profiter de la vie" (taking advantage of life)! Cheers!
Glad to hear it. Merci!
The train is much more convenient than flying. It takes you from city center to city center both ways, so no 30-minute taxi/tube trip to get into the city. Not getting nickel and dimed on your luggage is nice, compared to RyanAir. The security line is more efficient, and they handle your passport for entry and exit, so once you arrive, you can just head into the city. You have more space to stretch out, walk around, and the experience is much less stressful.
Couldn’t agree more.
In my opinion Euro⭐️ is the most fascinating train in the world.
Thank you Jason , my dream destination , looking forward to explore in the next video !
Happy to hear that!
Thank you for sharing your trip on the Eurostar for the tunnel crossing. You are right about the price points. I hope the meal selection was a good one!
And you made me laugh a little! Hahaha! For myself, I like seating in the position of where I am going. Hahaha!! I always have but I do see that the seats there on your trip looked comfortable enough riding backwards for a what, 3-hour train ride. And I do see it looks like your table was good enough to get some paperwork done as well..
Thanks for watching!
@@JasonBillamTravel You are welcome.
I didn’t see the channel tunnel.
Very Nice Video Jason, Can't Wait To See More!
Hi Jason,I wasn’t able to type on your Channel for a long time and I realized I have missed your gorgeous vlogs.😀 I have been in Paris in 2010 it was great indeed;) the hotel I stayed at, the Louvre museum, the Eiffel tower, disneyland and more I have spiffing memories about Paris however When I look at it now, it seems to have changed a lot. Cheers 🇹🇷❤️🇫🇷 🤎🏴Much love to France and England with all sincerity. One day I’d love to visit London definetely✌️
Welcome back, I’m glad you love it too. It’s probably the best city I’ve ever visited.
@@JasonBillamTravel Thanks for your response it’s a great city for me too! I also strongly suggest you to visit Southern France Nice, St Tropez on the other hand Monaco as well fascinating places😊🍷
I took the Eurostar to Paris in October and I loved the journey
Nice video! Glad to know that you are a Messi fan like me, lucky to watch him playing football live ❤️🙌🏻
Very lucky!
Jason, I hope you explore Paris, France 🇫🇷!
Welcome to France! If you're into French food I'd recommend to eat at "Au Pied de Cochon". I believe they're open 24/7. Used to go there with friends after partying, eating entrecôte at 3AM 😅My favorite pizza is at "Pulcinella" in the 16 arrondissement. The "quartier Latin" is worth visiting as well as the Marais. Enjoy your stay!
Thanks for the tips. I visited the Latin Quarter and it’s definitely one of my favourite neighbourhoods, along with Montmarte.
Paris is my favorite city in the world ❤ I hope you will show us the Louvre especially the Napoleon appartment, the Versailles castle, Trocadero, Opéra Garnier, the beautiful fountains at place de la concorde, the stunning bridge Alexandre 3, inside the Hotel des Invalides, Champs Elysée, cathedral Notre Dame of Paris, Monmartre and I could go on lol. There are so many amazing places to see in Paris.
Sadly Paris is a shithole now
😍😍😍 Already planning a 3rd visit to the city...
La plus belle ville au monde !
@@kamelryke31others might disagree
@@David.L291 les goûts et les couleurs ne se discutent pas.
Beautiful vlog as usual! Love Paris and this just refreshed my memories!
Can’t wait to visit
Nice to see you in France. For me, the most amazing part of the country is Alsace region (Strasbourg, Colmar, Eguisheim, Riquewihr, Kaysersberg). If you go there (it is possible with a train from Paris to Strasbourg, at least), I assure you that you won't be dissapointed as there is simply magical, like in fairy-tale.
Agree! Alsace is beautiful! I'm from Normandy and I can say that it's with visiting too. When tourists ask me where to go in France I usually say that all the edges, or close to the borders are beautiful regions. The center of France is more rural and "empty" (still beautiful ofc). I'm blessed to live in a country where the regions and the culture ( and food ) are so different from where I live.
@@thefrenchbullet4246 It can get really touristy, though, in those exquisite little Alsatian villages like Riquevihr.
@@thefrenchbullet4246 , I have also been in Normandy and really liked Falaises d'Étretat (cliffs), Honfleur, Mont-Saint-Michel, the Bayeux Tapestry, along with all apple culinary and drinks. ;) Rouen as the capital of the region also remembered me a little on Alsatian villages in its old core as it also has some half-timbered houses. So I rate Normandy as my second best region in France. The third for me is Chamonix Alpine High Savoy region (with Aiguille du Midi as the ultimate adventure for a non-climber) and the fourth Provence (especially Arles, Pont du Gard, Nimes from Roman times).
However, I haven't explored Corsica yet as I believe that it would also be quite interesting. In my childhood, I really liked tracks of Auvergne, Corsica and Normandy in the videogame Need For Speed: Porsche 2000, just as the Alps and Schwarzwald tracks.
@@Ojstra My favorite part of France is Gascony (Gers) followed closely by Lot and the Midi Pyrenees. Burgundy is lovely too.
Thanks, Jason! Now I want to visit Paris more than before. I hope one day I will be able to do that. Quand notre vie change..
You should!
Dear Jason Billam thanks for your honest description of Paris, I am a proletarian or may say Bohemian traveler who don't care of luxury but the acquaintance with the people. Thanks
Hey cheers Jason Really Good to see your coverage in paris especially the Eurostars and the eifel tower and the game with Messi. What a great experience that makes me feel like I am there too. You do a great job. Good luck will stay in touch
Cheers and like you say also peace ✌️
Happy to hear that!
Thanks for the guide!
You should visit Musee D'Orsay and Musee de Rodan in Paris.
Good to see you on home turf, or starting from there!!
Great info!
Thank you for sharing. I've always wanted to try riding the Eurostar😊 By the way I know a discount can find cheaper train tickets, if someone needs, I am happy to share ❤
Hi, can you please share the discount? Thankyou
It's funny to see how, after travelling to so many places in the world (sometimes well off the beaten track), you get all excited and starry-eyed seeing the Eiffel Tower, THE tourist cliche if ever there was one! 😅 But I guess Paris does that to you (especially on a first visit)... I was lucky enough to live there for a couple of years, and when I went back last year I started bawling my eyes out while passing by the Louvre on the bus. When my husband asked what was wrong, all I could say was: "I had forgotten how beautiful it is" 😭
I couldn’t hold my excitement back, I had to fit it in before heading over to the match. I think it felt even more special given that I’d put off seeing it for so many years.
Another great video. I've been watching your vlogs for some time. You've got a great presence and laid back vibe. Really enjoy them and always look forward to watching your exploits. Well done 🙂👍
Thank you, Jason. Planning a trip to Paris soon and I want to take the train from London.. First timer!
Thank you so much for staying with us !
Thanks for having me!
The carriage was very spacious and comfortable.The hotel location is great.Eiffel tower is good at night ,well illuminated
Love your videos!
Glad to hear it!
thanks for the tour!
Thank you! That was worth it just to see the Eiffel Tower lit up at night! Must have been great to see your all-time favourite footballer in action as well. Looking forward to the next instalment. 😀
A lot of bucket list things completed in one day.
I remember arriving at Gare du Nord in about 1981, the first time I had been overseas without my parents (I was 13 at the time), and seeing people standing on the platforms wearing Moroccan jelabiyas... it all seemed hopelessly exotic.
Want to visit France in future.Hope 🤞
I’m sure you’ll love it
I hope you visit champs des elysees, musee des louvre, chateau des versailles and disney land paris
Great Vid!!!!❤
Glad you liked it!
It seems like you are really enjoying Paris! It really is such a beautiful city. Can't wait for your next video as I will be heading back in a couple of months!
It really is!
“There’s so much French food I want to try.” Well, you’re in the right place 😃
Video is nice like always
Cheers!
Hello Hello Jason, I Have Not Received Any Notifications From You And I Have Missed So Much, Since I Was Wondering Where You Were!
Loved this video my friend. We are planning a trip to London/Paris/Basque Country in August so this was very helpful (taking the euro star), What kind f gimbal and microphone? I have a canon T6 EOS. Thank you in advance!
Wow Paris is everything people says it is.
France is a beautiful country and not too far to travel from UK 😊❤
Loved the video, Jason. Eurostar is a great way to travel. Do not worry about butchering pronounciation........ never knew you were a football fan. What a great evening you had.😁
I was shocked with all your travel that you are visiting Paris (the most visited city on the planet) just now! I have been to Paris 3 times and it is definitely a place I love. I also love that you went to a PSG game. As an American, I have recently made a deeper dive into football (soccer) beyond the World Cup. I like Messi, but like Neymar better. I was surprised that your Morocco series was so quick. Hopefully you will be able to travel more this year as I love seeing the places you go. Would love to see you do South America! I am heading to Argentina/Uruguay this Fall for my first visit to South America.
South America is on the agenda for later in the year. Wanted to visit Peru but the protests make it a bit of a no-go at the moment.
So funny, I took the same Eurostar but in Business cause the other classes were sold out from Paris to London last year for the Queen's funeral and to visit the city. 😊
Jason, do you remember if Standard Premier had seats that faced each other for groups of 3 or 4 or was that just offered in business class?
Thank you
Greetings from Australia. Sorry for my ignorance but how far (long) does it take for the journey?
Around 2 hours 20 min.
I watched another video of a London to Paris Eurostar trip in 2024and it was crowded! There were crowds at the station in London and the train was full.
As usual, 'extraordinaire'. Although I felt the video somewhat rushed.
Apart from your unusual pronunciation of Ankara a year or two back (!), I love your vids, you handsome rascal.
What a lovely train, it’s nice that your compartment is roomy and quiet. The metro looks nice and clean, your room is cool and your view spectacular!
It’s worth the difference to go for Standard Premier!
Hi Jason, did you watch the game alone?
I was amazed to read recently that Eurostar is currently obliged to keep 350 seats out of 900 empty. This is because any more would not be able to get through the passport checks without disrupting the next service. This is apparently because of the more complex passport formalities for British citizens travelling to the continent of Europe following Brexit.
That’s very interesting - I had no idea.
Great Content! I was thinking about doing a day trip to Paris. Do you happen to know how late the Eurostar runs? Last ride at 8pm?
plan on doing this next year
Great informational video! How far in advance did you book your ticket to get that Price?!
A month - the prices can tend to change/fluctuate based on demand.
Where was the channel tunnel?
very interesting video. how long it tales to reach Paris from London by train? Very interesting to watch this video.
It depends but generally 2hrs 30m
Hi bud , do you think it’s safe to walk from the train station to Bercy ????
♥
Hey Jason one question. Did your hotel was near important attractions in Paris like Arc de Triumph, , Eiffel Tower of course and their surroundings. Also Was it a metro stations near by also by your hotel? Did it include breakfast?
Hellooo my dear how are you nice to meet you after long time
Hello
The 'T" is silent on Escargot =)
is meal included in standart premium?
Nice.
5:24 no pickpockets or scammers ? did they finally clean up paris ?
Nice
Ticket price from london to paris. For both side
How lond does it take to reach Paris from St Pancras London
Just over 2 hours.
there is an english and american serious food?
Just asking, do you plan on going to new york or somewhere in the US or Canada?
New York is now top of my list in terms of iconic cities I haven’t yet visited. Though, I likely won’t have a chance to head that way until at least later in the year.
My friend sam love eurostar train
How long is the ride to Paris?
Usually it takes under 2hrs 30m
It was forbidden to shoot on the train, so so little was filmed on the train
I was told by the staff almost immediately after boarding so I just kept it subtle, as I still wanted to share the experience.
Hello. take care ♥️♥️♥️♥️
strange metro gets out the door.
tbh everyone who thinks about going to the paris metro should change their mind just as you did.
well done mate, but if i had to whisper been on a public train, i,d def get on the standard class, cos the more down to earth & talkative people are to me the better, cos with coming from the north of england, i will talk to everyone & anyone, the the posh people can stick to their laptops or phone,s etc, i,d rather be with folk like myself any day, & possibly have a chat & a laugh with people.
Wow can’t believe you’ve never been to paris
I know right!
Kylian Mbappé
How old are you
27 when this was filmed - now 28!
สวัสดีครับ
No Romanians asking you if you lost your gold ring at the tower then.
Nice beard style
It would be nice if the restroom was that roomy on airplanes. I have my son with me who uses a wheelchair.
Jason really enjoyed the video and seeing Paris through different eyes. Shame about the pronunciation!
Jason you are beautiful
Hello Jason stay in London what are you doing in Paris ? It’s just awful there
I loved Paris!
I agree London is better. Paris is awful but not as bad as sh!thole NYC
it's not psg, but peh-ehs-ze, mate.
Why should they object to you filming aboard the train, just explain that you're a famous travel vlogger with over 560K subs, it's free advertising!
You botched the pronunciation of ‘Gard Du Nord’ also :p
สวัสดี
