    My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa. Paris (yes the one in France) has been my home for years now and I have every intention of staying here for as long as they'll have me. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much. Now I make videos about visiting Paris, traveling in Europe, and try to share what I've learned along the way. I hope you enjoyed what you found.

    I have a French son-a young man who stayed with us one summer when he was 17. He lives in Lyon and we stayed in touch. After moving to France, we went to Lyon to see him and he took us to a restaurant for dinner. He was so proud of me because I ordered bone marrow. I really liked it, surprisingly. My tastes have drastically changed since moving to France!

    Those fountains with all of the gold are just exquisitely beautiful. Growing up in Canada, we too were always warned about not eating raw or under cooked hamburger so I don't think I could even force myself to eat steak tartar. The fries looked good however. Enjoying my morning coffee while watching your fun video. Paris is so beautiful.

    So here's my question and or suggestion. I subscribed as soon as you mentioned for your new channel which will be mostly Paris, but I still like this channel so I'll follow that too. My suggestion is similar to what Le Frenchies do, whenever you go out to eat somewhere, if you could just flash up on the screen a little priceless, that would help us when we're trying to think of eating out and dining in Paris. They recently did one last week and I almost lost my shit at how expensive it was. I'm hoping it's not always that way. Keep up the good work and hugs and pats to Cooper

    I used to LOVE eating raw hamburger when I was a kid but haven't done that for years. It's not safe anymore and that is sad. I started eating Escargot by dipping my bread in the lovely garlic butter and then transitioned to eating the snails. I just try to avoid looking at them, they are not pretty, IMHO but oh my, so tasty.
    I love the way Paris actually being used so events are IN Paris not all out in the countryside somewhere. I'm glad I'm not going to be there during the Olympics but can't wait to see the city as I watch the games.

      Un escargot ... ail + persil + beurre ; on peut même y ajouter une goutte de pastis avant de mettre le beurre aillé et persillé c'est meilleur.

    • @gregoryhageage6362
      @gregoryhageage6362 Месяц назад +1

      The one at the end of the vid is the Fontaine Saint-Sulpice in front of the Saint-Sulpice Church in the 6e on the Left Bank. The fountain dates from the mid-1840s and the church has some interesting ties to the book, The daVinci Code, as well as a huge pipe organ. Very cool…

    Be careful with mixing to many shorts with the long format videos on the new channel. It tends to mess with the algorithm and a lot of channels that adapted shorts are struggling with their primary content. Better to keep the majority of the shorts on a shorts only channel or Instagram and TikTok. Can’t wait for the new channel to launch.🎉🥳🍾

    You have to have steak tartar while in Paris. I've had it in the steaks but always too salty, but in France they know what they are doing.
    And the BEST hamburger I've every tasted was in Paris, not far from the Catacombs, at a small cafe. I think the just use pure ingredients and you can taste it.

    I was in Paris last summer and have been there multiple times since 1957. I’m bilingual and actually enjoy living in France more than the US. Especially with the possibility of Trump. Steak Tartare is a very common dish and is delicious. You didn’t mention that it’s common to take your leashed dog on patios and less common inside but still permitted. I have traveled extensively in France but my home base is La Côte d’Azur: Antibes or Cannes.

    I’ve heard those rumors about banning cars around Place de la Concorde after the Olympics. Dang! Crossing the streets around there just won’t be the same should that come about. I guess it would be too much to ask about banning them at rue des Pyramides and Rivoli also, no? Thanks for the update, cool vid, and cool dog.🤙🏽

    Hey Jay! I'm traveling to Paris next week, I'm slightly paranoid about the pickpockets. I'm mostly traumatized from when my phone was stolen during one of those classic clipboard interactions in Spain 10 years ago. I live in NYC now so I would like to think I'm a little more street smart now than I was in high school, but is this something I should be worried about? We're staying in Saint Germain de Pres and probably not going to any of the major attractions since we're looking for more of a relaxed trip going to coffee shops and restaurants.

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  Месяц назад +1

      If you've been living in a city, you're probably aware enough. Big tips are - don't put things in your back pockets, try not to have your phone out and loosely gripped on public transit/tourist hot spots, and of course, avoid the clipboards!

    Loved the jump from getting off the train at Republique metro to coming out at Concorde - worthy of the geographical nonsense we see in American films :D (I remember one scene, but not the film, in which a car goes around the corner near the Eiffel tower from one pov and turns up at the Arc de Triomphe from the next POV! All of that is incidental to why I started writing this- between now and the olympics you have the Bastille Day celebrations for which I assume Concorde will make a major appearance so they're probably getting all that infrastructure in place early for that? I lived in Paris many many years ago and the idea of Concorde being pedestrianised fills me with glee! But how is all the traffic from the Champs Elysees getting on and off?
