    My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa and hoping to make the city of light my home base - at least for the foreseeable future. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlog daily, and love pizza a little too much.
    FAQ:
    How long have you lived in France? On and off for over two years.
    What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS
    You're always talking about living on some ship. WHAT SHIP? - I made a "Draw My Life" video that explains a lot here: • Draw My Life
    Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).
    What do you film with? - I currently film almost exclusively with my Samsung Galaxy S8: amzn.to/2lPKSpZ
    How do you get those shots where you're walking or running? - A Joby Gorillapod for smartphones, like this: amzn.to/2sXNIL3
    You drop your phone a lot, how does it survive? - THIS CASE IS AMAZING: amzn.to/2hoxgTA (Galaxy S7) - amzn.to/2Dt08Bu (Galaxy S8) - amzn.to/2FxVliP (iPhone)
    What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school.
    Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do.
    Why are you living in #Paris? - Because I've always wanted to; I feel at home here: • Why I Want to Live in ...
    But what are you doing there? - Living it up! • What Am I Doing in Paris?
    Do you speak French? Oui. • Un Jour en Francais (E...
    You talk a lot about the books you're working on, what are they about? - They're sci-fi (and fantasy) and I've got a decent pitch for you here: • The Pitch (Sorta) - Ag...
    Do you make money off RUclips? - Ha, no. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.
    I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - The easiest and best way to support me is through Patreon, where you can pitch in as little as $1/mo to help me make better videos: / jayswanson
    I don't trust this Patreon thing - what's your PayPal? - Here's a handy link! www.paypal.me/jayswanson
    I like PayPal in pink! - Here's my ko-fi if that's your thing (and coffee is your game): ko-fi.com/jayswanson
    But I want to send you something tangible! - I do have a wishlist on Amazon, though it's a bit complicated with the international shipping situation. This is the US one: amzn.to/2ykS9Ux
    And here's the French one: bit.ly/JaysFrenchWishList

    This is the best and most entertaining video I've seen about ascending the Eiffel Tower. I loved it. I started my first full day in Paris with the tower. I was a bit squeamish on the ride from the second floor to the summit because I could see the increasing elevation through the lift's glass windows. The view enthralled me, though.

    Bonjour Monsieur Swanson. I watched this video on Friday, which was also my birthday and it made me wanted to come home to Paris where I am from originally. I haven't been on top of La Tour Eiffel for over 35 years and this bring back some good memories. I enjoyed watching your videos about your life in Paris and your other videos . At the present time, I am in Boise, Idaho and I noticed from one of your video that you are from Pullman, Washington north of here. Small world isn't it? You're like a Paris native since you know your way around the city so well. I haven't been back to Paris in years and it looks like it hasn't changed much except for the hordes of tourists. 27 million tourist a year!! Incroyable!!!

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  6 лет назад

      Oui ! J'ai des amis à Boise aussi. C'est bien que tu m'a trouvé et que mes vidéos te plaît. Je crois que c'est vraiment le bon moment pour Paris - elle devient encore une ville tellement internationale et ouverte. Say hi to Idaho for me!

    • @frederickledoux2203
      @frederickledoux2203 6 лет назад

      Vous parlez français comme un vrai Français. Oui, Paris peut être une belle ville et très accueillante pour les touristes cependant, il y a un côté de la ville que la plupart des touristes voient rarement. En dehors des zones touristiques centrales, il existe des problèmes dans les banlieues telles que Clichy sous Bois, Seine St Denis, Aubervilliers. Ces zones sont comme Chicago Southside ou South Central Los Angeles. La vie à Paris peut être difficile pour certains Algériens français, nord-africains français, chinois français. y vivent depuis plusieurs générations.
      Oui, Idaho knows Paris and quite a few have visited the city. Some day I might return and take a bike tour to Versaille. That looks like a fun tour!

    Jay, thanks for this vlog! It couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ll be in Paris in another 14 days’ time with my 2 girls. Your vlog certainly helped me decide that going up to the 2nd floor of the grand lady will be good enough for us. Paris feels so cold now. I hope that it will warm up a little bit more by the time we are in Paris. Thanks once again and take care!

      Maybe not, but your vision of Paris is energetic & since you’re a resident we’re seeing a side of Paris that’s modern & not really Rick’s speed. Seeing your Paris, in all her historic glory & real-time graffiti art covered streets is a daily treat! Oh, & your time lapses are to die for! You give Woody Allen a run for his money, seriously. :)

    @Sodwee 6 лет назад +1

    Arrhhh longtime myself (Yes, I'm a Parisien) I've been up there. They've recently splurged on highly-luminescent LED lighting right up to the top of the tower (one of the budgets we had to vote for here in an online-town hall) to be able to dress her up in any colour combination possible. The paint is actually of 3 different shades from top to bottom. Lighter at the top and darker more prevalent towards the base, giving it a more spearhead-esque look from anywhere in Paris...

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  6 лет назад

      Interessant - I didn't know that the shade of paint changed. Do you know what they're doing with the fountains in Trocadero? It looked like they were setting up for repairs of some sort but then they strapped lights to the scaffolding.

      Arc de Triomphe or Pompidou are probably my top picks. Triomphe gives you a broader, bigger view of the city, but Pompidou puts you right among the rooftops - feels like you're flying.

I am OK with taking the stairs up to the 2nd level but was wondering if there is a separate line to purchase stairs tickets? We are worried we will spend a lot of time waiting in line as we haven't got our tickets yet. Thanks!

      Thanks! I think it's divided between them normally because the elevator access is on different corners. Have fun!

    Hi! I know this video was from a few years ago but can you still purchase Eiffel Tower tix the day of if you wanted to take the 669 steps? Or should we purchase those tix prior to our trip?

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  Год назад

      I think so! Grab your tickets online before heading there and you'll save yourself a bunch of time.

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  5 лет назад +2

      It depends on if you're fit enough to walk the stairs or would simply rather not. I liked taking the stairs, but it's up to you! 😃

    Hey Jay, I’ll be arriving in Paris soon and opted not to pre purchase Eiffel Tower tickets. Do they ever sell out for the day? Was planning on arriving early to the tower and getting tickets.

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  5 лет назад

      I doubt they ever sell out, you may just have to wait in line for a long time.

  • @nehabhandare3281
    @nehabhandare3281 5 лет назад +1

    Hello Jay, Planning a trip to Paris soon and we wanted to book our ticket to Eiffel tower. The option of stairs to the 2ndfloor and then lift to summit is unavailable to book online and requires to be booked onsite... is there a way around it, to make sure we beat the queues?? In the video u mention that u can purchase the lift to the top tickets on 2nd floor... is that true? Most travel forums haven't been able to give me a definitive answer to that.

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  5 лет назад

      I would buy everything on site if you can't get it online - and probably get there early to avoid the queues. Unfortunately in peak season there's always a line, but on off days or off season you can avoid it much more handily =D

  • @rachelmuircroft4390
    @rachelmuircroft4390 6 лет назад

    And I finally made it up there through you, haha! Great tour and views even with the smog. With my completely irrational fear of open air heights with stairs I couldn't even make it to the top of a wet n wild slide never mind the first tier of the Eiffel tower when I was there. But the lift looks good - so, next time! :D

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  6 лет назад

      Thanks =D And yeah - the boat tours are all pretty much the same (there's only one river) and generally worth it IMO. As for dinner tours, you get what you pay for

    Hi. I really like your videos. They are quite informative and straight to the point (except for one of cafés I think, lol). This is the first channel that I truly enjoy watching and it feels quite well structured and organized. Kudos. I found funny the little hater-ish comments towards the Eiffel T., but that´s ok. Also, I am writing a review and taking my time here so yeah, I really like your shit, man. Keep it up!

    how long did it take you to walk the steps? we are trying to figure out if we want to do the steps or the elevator but trying to also figure out how much longer it will take to walk the steps. Also if we buy tickets in advance does it save much time?

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  5 лет назад

      It's not bad, I'm not sure but I'd guess only five minutes or so. Buying tickets in advance is always a good way to go if possible

    Jay - if you are afraid of heights, like I am, would you suggest taking the elevators vs the stairs to the 2nd level? I'm OK if everything is enclosed - like walls around me, but if open, then no way. :)

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  6 лет назад

      Hard to know because information is often lacking on the internet here - however I would go to the specific site's website and see if they have rules listed there.

    • @TomalBhattacharjee
      @TomalBhattacharjee 6 лет назад

  • @robsweatherchannel
    @robsweatherchannel 6 лет назад +1

    I am going to the second floor, well good job cause me and heights are not the best ahha but I wanted to try it but due to the peak of season I am guessing they are sold out for the summit which is upsetting but hey 9:30pm slot I booked haha hopefully it will be a good time to see everything, cannot wait to go up

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  6 лет назад +1

      Hopefully you can make it all the way up if you want to! Peak season definitely makes it harder, but it's worth doing imo =)

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  6 лет назад

      Haha, no arm-tearing if you hike it alone ;D And yeah, they do a full metal wanding as you go through. No x-ray machines when I went through, they were all off, but they still get nice and invasively intimate.

  • @sarahbannon4752
    @sarahbannon4752 6 лет назад +3

    This was really useful, thanks for doing it (love that music too!) I don’t usually have a problem with heights, but for some reason, the lift to the top floor made my palms all sweaty 😳. I’m off to Paris in April and plan on walking the first two flights, then getting the lift to the top, how long did it take you to walk up to the second floor? Also, I can’t book a walk up ticket online, will I have to wait ages to buy it on the day? I’ve heard the walk up line is usually much shorter than the lift line. Loved how you dealt with the pickpocket at the end 😆.

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  6 лет назад +1

      It didn't take me long to get to the 2nd floor - I wandered around the 1st for a bit but in total, going all the way to the top and back down took about an hour I think. Not bad. And yeah, the stairs line is usually shorter in my experience. Get there early, and hopefully not during peak tourist season ;D

      It's SUPER off-putting. I totally agree. All security lines do is create an insecure hazard.
