I hope you enjoyed this wander into the 16th arrondissement! Grab all my recommendations in my guide at parisinmypocket.com and thank you to my Patrons for making this possible from the very beginning!
Thank you Jay. I lived in Passy for a month, 9 yrs ago, after a previous weeks stay with my daughter, 2 yrs previously. One of the highlights of my life. First time in my life, at age 52, when I didn't have to answer to anyone else. I cannot think of a better city for a woman to embrace her independence than Paris. I never felt unsafe, common sense is key, walked everywhere and just generally fell in love with your city. I will never stop loving her. Hoping to introduce my husband to her next year, for what would probably be my 3rd and last visit. Australia is too far away. Thank you so much for sharing your Paris. Love her. 😊🐨
I stayed at Passy 2 yrs ago and loved it!! Had an amazing view of the Eiffle Tower from my hotel, Trocadero and the Seine. Felt totally safe walking around too.
Loving this series! I am staying in Passy for a month in July and could not wait to see your take again on it. Thank you for view from Avenue Georges Pompidou! There is also a stunning view across the seine of the Eiffel Tower near Maison de Balzac. This is a more residential area which is what I wanted. My plan is to do my own 20 in 20, leaving days to visit some arrondissements(like Marais and Montmartre) more than once. I will just be a flâneur!
Thank you for this video, I have purchased Paris in my Pocket and we’re staying at the Hotel Palais de Chaillot. I love a good lobster roll so Homer is now on my list ❤️
N.B. It's free to enter the gardens of the Palais-Galliera which have some benches (Paris has so few benches!) to sit and rest or even discreetly picnic.
I love this series so much. I'm really looking forward to next week's the 15eme because I lived there. I can't wait to see what you decide to highlight! Side note, I loved the mirror reflection when you're having your coffee at coutume - un mur de mariage freres....
Darn! I am leaving Paris today and I wish I would have seen this before, but I was busy checking some Paris in my pocket recommendations which I loved, including a visit to the Peloton to have a quick coffee and take a pic. By the way I learned how to pronounce “ellongue “ today there ❤️
Thank you for another great video! This is a great way to spend a half day in the 16eme. I bought your guide a few months ago but hadn't checked out what's in the 16eme - I'll do so now!
I took the exact same shot of the Eiffel tower from next to Musée d'art Moderne. Watching.your vid I said to self... I know exactly where you were sitting! Cheers from 🇨🇦
Great video once again Jay!!! Thank you for sharing these wonderfull sights and places... I'm very interested to check out those lobster rolls from Homer Lobster when i visit Paris this summer!!!
Glad someone chimed in there - and a crackin' art nouveau at that... it's great how some of the letters are missing on the window signage - a charmingly perfect detail👌
Jay, I've been meaning to ask you a coffee question: the last time that I was in Paris (embarrassed to say 2004) I was in café au lait heaven - I just loved drinking it from the large bowls offered. Now it seems that coffee shops just offer café latte; what gives? Is there any place that I can find the perfect café au lait or are they too old school?
Any 'corner café' will have café au lait in a bowl. Perhaps Jay will forgo his 'nice coffee' for once and make a video on traditional cafés ? ; ) As a rule of thumb, if you see a 'Café Richard' logo, there will be traditional café au lait.
Do you make yourself available for email communication or teams/zoom for fee? My wife and are going to be in Paris for a day and a half next month for a quick stop heading from London to Switzerland. I would be curious as to what your advice would be for that short of a duration
Are you travelling into Gare du Nord (Eurostar from London) and out of Gare de Lyon (train to CH) ? Jay made a good video on 6 hours in Paris ruclips.net/video/c9TdRiqwwh8/видео.html
Great video as always. I'm going to Paris in April 🎉 I'm a little concerned though,about the Olympic games. Are the previous preparations for the games affecting touristic places?
Do you know this song? Your French is probably good enough to get by without closed captions, but, it's a good French lesson, and it portrays the 16th's reputation. (Don't get me wrong, I love the 16th. We stayed there a few years back. But, i still like the song.) ruclips.net/video/L1N3WXZ_1LM/видео.html
I want to visit Paris next March or April and fly over to France from Florida but I think that I am going to delay a trip to there until 2025. I’ve read and heard that Paris is torn up and under massive construction for the upcoming Summer Olympics next year. I might as well just wait another two years until things calm down there.

"Why would I go see a grocery store while I'm in Paris?" Wait, there are people that DON'T do this? :)
Ya gotta see what's different right? Same thing with like trying the special menus in international chains.
Exactly!
Last Tango in Paris was shot around the bridge too... 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
Ah niiice reference, sir

The 16th is my favourite arrondissement in Paris! So many great things to do, see and eat.
palais tokyo got a famous skate spot!
0:23 OMG this was that scene in ‘National Treasure 2’ where Ben and Riley find French writing on the Statue of Liberty.
Well done!
I really liked the closed captions at the "upper left!" 😂
Emily's been really helpful with getting the CC game up

7:26 Happy Belated Birthday to Mr. Swanson Senior.
4:42 The dyad behind Jay is the MVP of this video.
First such complete video that I could find of this beautiful district in Paris...True Parisian air 😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾
My pleasure 😊

My pleasure!
Thank you for this video, I have purchased Paris in my Pocket and we’re staying at the Hotel Palais de Chaillot. I love a good lobster roll so Homer is now on my list ❤️
First trip to Paris coming in November. Really enjoying your channel!
Another great video, Jay! We only made it to part of the 16th, so this is inspiration for our next visit.
Lovely…as usual!!! Happy birthday to your dad!!!
Add to that the French-Canadian series The Highlander, with, Adrian Paul I think. Funny how you get forgetful as time progresses.
I didn't know that either! The Highlander, that's a throwback
5:27 Not everyone is gifted with selfie skills 🔥
Considering what a ‘catch’ lobsters are, I wouldn’t expect it to be less than €20 lol
P.S. I love thé song in the background.
Another great video! Merci, Jay!
N.B. It's free to enter the gardens of the Palais-Galliera which have some benches (Paris has so few benches!) to sit and rest or even discreetly picnic.
Loving this series Jay 🙌🏻 now I just need to find my way back to Paris…again 😂💕
5:48 1997 is on its way to be vintage. The early ‘90s are already vintage.
I love this series so much. I'm really looking forward to next week's the 15eme because I lived there. I can't wait to see what you decide to highlight! Side note, I loved the mirror reflection when you're having your coffee at coutume - un mur de mariage freres....
0:09 Fun Fact: A Hindi film called ‘Befikre’ was shot here too. Clearly a place for all the shootings.
Great video, Jay ❤❤❤
Well it's always good the advise for getting the great shots when on your vacation.
My daughter lives in the 16th, she says it’s too boujee for her too. I love visiting her nonetheless.
Glad you enjoy visiting her! It's a nice place to go
Fantastic photo tips! Thank you!
You're so welcome!

What is ellongue ? Glad you had a lovely time in Paris.

The statue at 4m30s marks a tomb, that of France's 'unknown soldier'. There is an explanatory plaque to one side.
I took the exact same shot of the Eiffel tower from next to Musée d'art Moderne. Watching.your vid I said to self... I know exactly where you were sitting! Cheers from 🇨🇦
Great video once again Jay!!! Thank you for sharing these wonderfull sights and places...
I'm very interested to check out those lobster rolls from Homer Lobster when i visit Paris this summer!!!
The Cravan store front and a lot inside are "art nouveau".
Glad someone chimed in there - and a crackin' art nouveau at that... it's great how some of the letters are missing on the window signage - a charmingly perfect detail👌
Love that cocktail bar. I’m guessing it’s from the 1920s?
It's so cool
Great recommendations! Now im craving a lobster roll!!🤤🤤

I can't find the name of terrace you were on at Palais Tokyo with the view. Thank you.
5:03 You may be near a water body but that’s no excuse to fish for compliments 😂
What the heck. How did you get that shot at 2:40 and not show your camera in the mirror! very smooth.
Thanks!
9:15 AAAAAA I love this shirt! Details, please.
Also that big modern kitchen of yours haha, have you ever thought about getting a Thermomix?
I hadn't heard of them until now - looks super interesting, and super expensive hahaha. I think I'll just pray for a real apartment one day ;D
@@JaySwanson Thanks for the reply Jay, made my morning
7:08 Normalise ‘up my avenue’ in daily conversation.
Love Homer!
There’s an “S” missing on today’s map!
?Patreon Collector’s item…….?!😉
Good eye! It'll be funny to see what all gets found in the unintended errors department 😆
👍😎
It's also the last tango in Paris bridge, isn't it?
Indeed it is!
Great video as always. I'm going to Paris in April 🎉 I'm a little concerned though,about the Olympic games. Are the previous preparations for the games affecting touristic places?
At the moment, there is a lot of building work going on but everything is open. I guess it will still be OK in April too.
Do you know this song? Your French is probably good enough to get by without closed captions, but, it's a good French lesson, and it portrays the 16th's reputation. (Don't get me wrong, I love the 16th. We stayed there a few years back. But, i still like the song.)

10:07 "...epuis je fyooooom..." that lyric malprononcé makes my ears bleed EVERY time. 😖
I want to visit Paris next March or April and fly over to France from Florida but I think that I am going to delay a trip to there until 2025. I’ve read and heard that Paris is torn up and under massive construction for the upcoming Summer Olympics next year. I might as well just wait another two years until things calm down there.
There is a LOT of building work but it's absolutely fine to visit, everything is open and no more busy than usual.
P.S. I doubt Paris will ever be 'calm'.
