Thanks for watching!
Some people start their day with coffee. I now start mine with a Jay video. Same effect - wakes me up, puts a smile on my face. Thanks Jay!
😁😁😁
Your very polite way of describing a shadey park after dark made me chuckle
😂
I love this tour around the different Arrondissements and hearing and seeing what each has to offer. Thanks!
My pleasure!😁
Jay, I did it!!! I bought my ticket for Paris in October! Prices were so ridiculously low, I had to do it!!! Thanks for keeping my dream alive. I like to have a trip in the fall or winter to look forward to something when chicago weather and work has gotten on my last nerve. LOL!!!
Soooooo excited!!
Excellent! Hope you have a great time!😁
take your yellow vest , it 's à la mode and you'll can participate and to play with the french police .
The first time we went was in October; it's the perfect time--the weather was mild and the leaves in all the parks were turning. You'll have a great time!
Im thinking about going to Chicago in December... Is it really too cold to enjoy?
Awesome! Why were the prices low? I want to go too! 😊
I LOVE the 16th! It's quintessential Paris in all its glory lol
Lots of beautiful streets to be sure
What appears to be a stagnant pond is often meant to be a reflecting pool .....hehehe. love the tour
😉
"stagnant".......
so much more romantic AND descriptive !
Hi Jay, I just wanted to say your 20 in 20 series is absolutely fantastic. I am still working my way through each of your 20/20 vlogs but have loved it so far. A wonderful snapshot summary of each arrondissement has been wonderful and interesting. I love the views, history and culture. I can't wait to visit Paris again to experience all these new places you have shown, as well as to see the sights, taste the food, hear the sounds and get the same joy you get from being in this amazing city. I must admit that this series has reinvigorated my interest in your vlogs like an enormous boost of adrenalin. Thank you.
You're welcome! And thank you for the kind words 😁😁
Just came back from my trip to Paris. Thank you for all of your videos and your guide. They made me feel comfortable traveling around the city.
Great!😁
Never knew Paris had this kind of greenery and big wide roads without people, in the city, thanks for sharing it with us.
Sunday mornings make all the difference on traffic 😉
Thanks for making me laugh this morning. Also to learn something(Avenue Foch) and making me want coffee. I’ve also realised that when I eventually make it to Paris, a long weekend isn’t going to cut it.
Indeed, 3 weeks just to barely scratch the surface of Paris clearly isn't enough.
It's one of the joys of living here 😁
It’s impressive how you just know your way around Paris so well!
It's a life goal 😂
Missed you zippering around on the wheel! Great video! Two weeks left until my trip!! So excited to visit Paris! Have a Wonderful Day!!!
You too!😁
Ça se voit le chic. The most beautiful arrondissement of Paris! Beauty, Grace and Classic. Beaux souvenirs. Merci Jay 🙂
😊😊😊
Do love the 16th....the LV foundation is great ...see you tomorrow xx Kerrin and Leia xx....
Gotta go in sometime 😊
Loved the 16th! Jay, I think Paris has raised your standards for architecture 😊
Very much so 😂
Ah thanks for enlightening us to the ways of the 16th. Always of interest to see your coffee shop haunts too. We'll be visiting to do a little filming on Friday so your films have helped to orientate us. Look forward to seeing more from you.
😁👍👍
I found your channel because I'm going to Paris in July. Now each time I see one of your videos I get more and more excited! Can't wait to see the places you show in person!
😁👍
One of my dear friends lives in Passy, and my book club started in a home near Victor Hugo. Love the Bois de Bologne, too. This one brings back good memories! 👍🏼✌🏼
😁😁
I recently went to Paris and i miss iT so much
It's easy to miss!😁
Great video. Can’t wait to be there in Paris Tuesday morning. Thanks for the Videos.
😁👍
Hi Jay thank you so much for showing us how to go around Paris and have fun! Loved it!
Happy to!
Haiku 1016
16eme is laid back
pollen gets into our eyes
love it anyway
Indeedydoo
Thank you for your videos Jay! You are hilarious and you really do an amazing job of showing the beauty of Paris France. I have been twice, but it has been forever. Looking at going this Summer with my husband. I hope we see you!
Thank you!😊
I love how you ride your wheel on the road like you are a motor vehicle !
Vroooooom!
My fav area.
😁👍
Jay, thank you for sharing your days w/ all of us. I give you a thumbs up even before I view your videos! You are a part of the joyful moments that I relish each day!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Aww, thank you!😊
❤❤❤ keep doing what your doing
Thanks!😁
I´m going to Paris at the end of May and I´m sure I ´ll take into consideration your pieces of advice..so useful really. Thanks for that! I like your videos very much.
On the other hand, I can´t understand how you can keep the balance with your wheel all the time...
C'est magique 😉🧙♂️🎇
And as the weather starts to get better, I'd recommend the "Parc st cloud" (end of line 10, across the Seine), very big and nice park with one of the best views of Paris. And to go out a bit of PAris, St germain en Laye has a nice castle, and charming streets (and also a nice view of Paris).
I went and watched an outdoor movie there once. Really nice 😊
A hidden gem, an historical architectural anomaly, a neo-Byzantine style building that blends in with the Haussmannian architecture around it on rue Georges Bizet, one of the prettiest streets in the 16th arrondissement, is the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of St Stephen from the Belle Epoque period, consecrated in 1895, the height of beautiful decorative classical architecture in Europe. It was financed by well-known Greek shipowners and industrialists who were active in east-west trade during the 19th century and were particulary present in Marseille, which of course was France's most busy and important port city. The church is like a little bit of old Constantinople in a very Parisian setting.
Maria Callas, considered the greatest soprano of all time, had her funeral in the church and Edith Piaf's wedding to her Greek partner Theo Sarapo was also held in the church. It's not big and somewhat inconspicuous externally, but beautifully decorated internally, with minton tiling on the surfaces and a lovely marble iconostasis. There's also a memorial to the Greek people who fought for France.
Anyway, just thought I'd share that with you, as a lesser-known and unusual attraction of the 16th arrondissement. IMHO it's these type of diverse anomalies that add interest and character to a city. You should visit one Sunday if you like. I am not a member of the church and as an outsider had no issue walking in, going upstaris to the gallery and checking it all out.
That amusement park next to Louis Vuitton is steam punk / Jules Verne themed. We entered FOC from LV. Small but well done aesthetically. Definitely for kids. Lots of greenery. Food and drink inside is better than your average amusement park, but not so satisfying. There was one interesting upscale lunch place in an old fashion house, but had a very looong line.
The Jardin d'Acclimation is strictly for young kids but it is pretty amazing, charming, kinda old school and dare I say magical at dusk in typical French amusement park fashion. Lots of old style rides, animals and petting zoo, a Petit Train that circles around back to Porte Maillot and fun things to do. Rides are kid size but some adults get on with small kids. I ended up there after going through the Foundation Louis Vuitton museum. They wouldn't let people leave through the main entrance only the back which puts you inside the Jardin d'Acclimation. So I just strolled through the whole thing and left since I was a single middle aged man with no kids (I started to feel self conscious about giving off a creepy vibe). The Louis Vuitton Foundation by Frank Gehry is pretty amazing on the outside but it is hard to get a good look at it because you are so close. The park out the back entrance gives a much better view of the whole thing. Inside it is a great contemporary museum but the real star are the multilevel roof terraces that the glass "sails" enclose. Very cool with fantastic views over the Bois de Boulogne to the Eiffel Tower and skyscrapers of La Défense while you take a break, sip coffee, and fantasize about flying your futuristic sail barge over the city of Paris. Maybe that's just me.
Frank Gehry is pretty distinct, he's like those fancy wines that you know are expensive because they're complex and structured but you'll still it pass over for a glass of £4 mixed red.
😂
The Maritime museum at Trocadéro, one of the more random museums I’ve been to, was oddly compelling and definitely worth a visit. There was a special exhibition dedicated to the Concorde obelisk and how the French managed to cart the thing back from Egypt, an engineering challenge of no small order!
I also forgot to mention the night club 😂 but that's in my guide at least
This is one of your best vlogs, Jay. You definitely need to go back and see the interior of the Fondacion Louis Vuitton. I think it's one of the most exciting recent buildings in the world, designed by Frank Gehry, of course. Perhaps you should devote an entire vlog to the Bois de Bouologne; many people never see it because they think it's too far away. You could talk about Roland Garros and the waterfall next to the spectacular Grand Cascade resto. There is a navette at metro stop Etoile that for one euro will take you straight to the LV Fondacion. I saw the inaugural exhibition a couple of years ago and then went again last month when I was in Paris for my birthday. I am loving this series; I feel like a short trip to Paris every morning. I do think better of the Palais de Tokyo than you do, however. ;-) Thanks so much for all your energy and stamina. BTW, that photo is from my AirBnB apartment on Place Blanche with the Moulin Rouge in the background. What a locale!
Definitely a ton more to see out there than you'd think!😁
is the louis vuitton fondation still colorful?
Just behind the Louis Vuitton fondation you have a small lake, ideal for pic nic. Also walking distance from "Sablon" line 1. You have a few café & stuff at Neuilly. At dark, its mostly the main axes of the bois that are "gloomy"
Just saw that lake for the first time! Missed it in the video sadly
I just discovered your channel ! OMG, a daily vlog in Paris, very nice ! BRAVO !
The street I stayed on has or had a domino's pizza. Used it a few times when wanted a quick bite to eat at night.
😊👍🍕
that area around Palais Galliera is really pretty 😍
Indeed!😊
I had to binge watch today cause......work (blahhhh) The nerve, to keep me from my daily Jayvision
Worth a binge from time to time =D
100%
I think there is an exact replica of that LV Building in Las Vegas!
I would not be surprised haha
I will be sad after you're done with the 20th. I hope you come up with another themed series.
It will be entitled "Jay sleeps 24/7"😴
You should totally check out the Green Houses of Auteuil! It’s in the 16th and it makes it feel like you’re not in Paris
😊😊
For people who need a cheap place to sleep in Paris. The Bois de Boulogne has a little camping :o) but you need to book at least few months before your trip.
Jay I looked up Avenue Foch , thanks for the tip. I love history and am especially interested in WWII. Are there tours of Paris that focus on this?
I'm sure there are, sorry I don't have any to recommend off the top of my head though
Jay, we are staying in the 11nth and had Melt barbeque tonight. It certainly rivals anything I've had at home in Texas.
Glad to hear it!!😊
Nice & friendly!!!!!! Wasn't the Bois de Boulogne the area where many immigrants were displaced from the Sacre Couer area and put in tents!!! We were here in July and that area was not recommended. It looks pretty though.
We have a Gehry designed art gallery
in the town next to us.
Visually it is interesting but
and it is a big but...
there are few if any flat walls in the building
and many of the art works are flat.
I suspect the Louis Vuitton Foundation
might have the same problem.
I think that the building for art should not overshadow the art itself.
In the town where the Gehry building is
opposite the building in fact
there is the old post office
which is a "boring" and very rectangular building
ideal for an art gallery
but that has been turned into a shopping arcade
Wow you're cold and it's almost May!
We had warm weather for a minute there 😂
Wow, I picked to be relocated from SEA to Paris and to live on the 16th. Now you tell me that it's boring with absolutely nothing to do. No coffee shops, bars, restaurants, nightlife, etc. I can't believe I was told it was the best place to live in Paris. HAHAHAHAHA 2021 starting off well. Great video!
Sounds like someone with kids might have told you that 😆 It's still nice and pretty, just largely empty and quiet
@@JaySwanson Wow, Thank you for your response. Yes, that’s the case lol. I even Facebook messaged them your RUclips video lol. What Districts would you recommend for a young executive couple with cost not being a concern?
What way I can check out the videos of the other district you posted.
Foch seems to be getting a couple of mentions. Pronounced Fosh. Actually first world war - allied Generalissimo in the latter stages of WW1 technically outranking even Pershing and Haig. Masterminded the allied victory in 1918. Tomb near to Napoleon's under the dome of the Invalides (shows how highly he was regarded). Awarded France's highest military honour (Maréchal de France) and also made Field Marshal of Great Britain and Poland for good measure. His equestrian statue is by Trocadéro near the most famous view of the Eiffel Tower. Also commemorated in street names across France.
Definitely been mispronouncing that forever 😂
What was that style of architecture you mention? Ausminian??
We are moving to the 16th in August for three years. Thank you for the interesting video. We live in Charleston, SC, now. What is the name of your electric wheel and who sells it? Are there any age restrictions for it in Paris for these wheels?
i thought the palais de tokyo would have been a japanese temple... :/
Say more about your wheel. Did you buy it in France or bring it with you? What did ut cost?
I bought it in France, and the prices vary widely. You can find them online on Amazon and elsewhere 👍👍
hi Jay can you make a video of the 20/20 but just more in detail of each arrondissement? thanks
Yeah! Frank Gehry, Canadian eh?🇨🇦. Jay, you gotta go to Bilbao and see the Guggenheim.
👍👍
Awesome
😁👍
LE GRAND EPICERIE! I won't even begin to tell you how much money I spend in there last summer...
It's easy to do 😂
We got some hot chocolate and americano from a cafe next to victor hugo station and paid 12 euros.... very overpriced to say the least!
Definitely
Also, this may just depend on my bank but since you’re in France and I’m in the states I’m assuming foreign transaction fees would apply to your Patreon?
Nope, thankfully Patreon is US-based so you're A-OK 😁👍
Why is coffee so bad in France! I’m struggling to find a proper flat white. You Decide is permanently closed, according to Google.
I live in Paris (suburbs) for a longer period than you, yet I don't know the town as well as you!
Did you ever realize that when you get polline is basically like some plants are very slowly ejaculating in your eyes?
Hi Jay! Will visit Paris in Mid May..sooo excited! Thanks for showing us around. How's the weather in May?? Little Tip on what clothes to bring will be helpful.be safe riding your wheeler!
The weather in May is generally nice :) I wrote a new section about whether in my guide if you want to pick up a copy here bit.ly/ParisVloggersGuide 😎👍
U decide looks good
It's so good!😊
Coffee buildup, buildup, buildup aaaaannndddd letdown 😂
😂😂
"A stagnant pond." That would be a reflection pool.
👍
Be careful out there Jay! Hope that company gets your helmet soon!
👍👍
I'm very interested in what you're calling the amusement park. You can get a ticket to just access the gardens for 5 euros and there are events and workshops that take place there. Here's a link www.jardindacclimatation.fr/ Maybe one day you can tag along with Gustave's siblings and check it out. . . . unfortunately Gustave can't come though :( The park has it's own animals.
Gustave would make a tasty leopard snack, unfortunately
Just sent you a pm on IG...god I feel so social mediafied!!! 😆😆
😂😂
"Huh, that LV building sure looks like Frank Gehry designed it." Nah, the French wouldn't go for outside design, surely **google** Oh but they did! It is a Gehry design.
Haha
Heard on Friday or Saturday that they hold the parks shut until it have rained a good bit, for people and animals for the led contamination after the fire! BarbroSweden
Waiting for you to reach 100k subs then 300k subs then 1 Mil
The restaurant at the Palais de Tokyo is over rated in my opinion; the food was good but not great.
Can't win em all 😉😂
Great theme but nearly every frame has a face in it when really the focus is Paris. I hope someone does it without their face one day...
aeiou
awful, can barely see with his face in the camera most of the time. next.
