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, vlogged daily for 3+ years, 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've made a lot of changes recently, but I try to keep my gear list up to date if you want to see what I use and buy some for yourself: bit.ly/JaysGear...
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 ...
Do you speak French? - Oui. • Un Jour en Francais (E...
Do you make money off RUclips? - Ha, sorta. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first total $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 - can I just paypal you? - Here's my ko-fi if that's your thing (and coffee is your game): ko-fi.com/jays...
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 wishlist: bit.ly/JaysFren...
Thanks for watching!
Jay does it all. Juggling two glasses, recording and entertaining the lady. Good to see you back in form.
Haha, glad to be back in form =D
And cracking jokes with the other tourists
When I visited France, I booked an Air B&B experience in Reims for a day of Champagne. It was the highlight of my trip.
I really enjoyed it
And from today’s Patron Producer: « Il n’y a pas de quoi ! »
And a huge « merci » for these countryside tours. I hope it isn’t too long before we Americans are allowed to visit Europe non-virtually. And if not, well, as the song implies: “We’ll always have Paris.”
At least you'll have my camera to look through until you can make it back =D
Stay safe, mon ami. Stay healthy in body and spirit. Don’t burn yourself out. But, within those parameters, keep that camera a-rolling. Right now it’s all we have.
@@JaySwanson That's part of what gets me through my days.
@@jainthorne4136 moi aussi mon ami!
In the cathedral of Reims, on July, 17 1429, Joan of Arc was there for the coronation of king Charles VII.
👑
So, since Jay was there on 17 July 2020 (591 years later)....does that make Joan of Arc and King Charles VII the opening act for Jay? :). Just kidding but that was an interesting fact. I didn't realize that she had ever been present during a coronation.
I ❤️🍾🥂! 😍 The cathedral jogged my memory. I was there when I was 12 and visited with my grandparents. We stopped on our way out of Paris . We saw the cathedral and visited Maison Mumm.
There was a lady at the train station with a sign for Mumm picking people up for a tour and I immediately got jealous haha
My travel pal and I went to Maison Mumm for our tasting. Really chillax place. They had a special rosé champagne collabo (Foujita) that was delish!
Thank you for the very lovely day trip (drinking giggles and all) and thumbs up to the lovely lady.......skipping in the vineyard!!
Skipping through the vines was a must haha
Taittengier is a really nice house to visit the next time you’re in Reims. It’s still family owned.
🍾🍾
It looks like one tour is enough if they’re all that comprehensive. Best statement: “You only had one job!” This was in reference to finding a place for lunch. Ha ha ha!
My family & I were in Reims last year for a whole week, it was simply amazing! I miss the champagne from Reims 🍾🥂❤
Your opening shot of the pedestrian street with the fountain has a lovely row of restaurants where we had a beautifully champagny lunch 💗 Be back there in 2021!
It's where we wound up sitting to work until our train (cancelled 😆) was ready to go
Jay thank for this great vid. i enjoyed the content. Cute muse in green dress. more Kate in future vlogs.
Enchanting! I give it five stars. Cheers 🥂
Thanks Laurie!
I need to go to Reims ASAP. That tour was amazing!
We had a grand time!
Really enjoyed your day trip! We visited Reims 2 years ago and have wonderful memories of the cathedral visit and champagne tour/tasting. Looking forward to the day when Americans are allowed to visit Europe again. Meanwhile, I’m enjoying “traveling” thru your vlogs.
Happy I can be your surrogate traveler ;D
That lunch looked delectable and will have my mouth watering all day. I think I've been to Reims a long time ago, I mean like 40 years ago. That cathedral looked mighty familiar. I could use a glass of champagne right now.
It was a great day in the end - I want more of that chicken 😆
Jay Swanson ...What kind of chicken recipe? Please tell us!
The cab driver “LOLZ” super had the same effect on me. Cheers! 🥂
We loved Reims cathedral. Thanks for revisiting it for us😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
🍾🥂 Those caves at Ruinart were outstanding!!
I want my own quarry now 😆
@@JaySwanson *Crayeres
Such happiness. Looks good on you, jay! Plus, yes, swank!
We had a great day!
Gaze at the ceiling vault and imagine yourself in Notre Dame in 2030: the roof of Reims Cathedral was completely destroyed in WWI. The 'charpente', ie the rafters,was rebuilt in concrete. After what happened at Nantes Cathedral this morning (roof not damaged but the risk was there) fireproof concrete seems a good idea.
Love the Anchorman quotes!
This is so amazingly fabulous and fancy day trip. I specially love the church visit. Thank you.❤️
We’ve been there. Last year. ‘Runce’ is how I remember. Went on the Moët tour. Thx for reminding me. Sooooo want to go back.
I'd definitely go back for another house.
All the feels - thx Jay really enjoyed this vlog! Avec tes vlogs je me souviens bcp choses...
Feels like dream that I was in Reims last year for Womens World Cup & funniest memory was watching fellow Americans on train almost miss getting off in Reims as the PA was all in French announcing arrival. I used my projected teacher voice in English and told people to get off train if they were there for ⚽. Legit soccer mom & dad thanked and asked after exit how I knew it was correct site, told them I had to look up pronunciation doing research for my trip. Some folks still kinda gave me side eye (I guess not believing Reims was pr. "Rance" vs. Reems) until inside the train station had all sorts of FIFA stuff & welcome signs for Cup attendees. 😆
Haha - glad you were there to save the day!
I suppose it depends on the local dialect because modern French has also gone through the various changes depending on who was in power. Over the centuries changing from Germanic influence, Papal/Roman, French kings and all in between. Countries like the USA are more like the present day EU, without a fixed language, hence the number of translator employed by the EU council.
Regional dialects are abundant in all of the European countries, at times you even fail to notice crossing a border if you talk to locals.
Two thumbs up for this video!!! Brought back good memories of my visit to Reims years ago. Thank you for this video!
For my birthday I had this whole “wine country” trip planned for this weekend. The big 3-0. Obviously this isn’t gonna happen due to, ya know, the world. I can’t believe you did a champagne tasting and that’s all I would love to do!! I feels like fate. A present to specifically me. 😊 This video just made my freaking day. Thanks for the epic timing.
The history of the cathedral is unreal as was the stained glass windows👍
I'm glad we got to visit it!
I loved this video OMG ..loved it and I am so going to do this when I eventually am allowed to come back to France. As usual
What a lovely day trip and video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful Cathedral ☺️
It was so nice to see =)
Well, Champaign, fine dining and a gorgeous lady. Grandma must be happy. What a fun trip, definitively worth it. I'm getting more inclined to explore outside Paris on my next trip. Whenever that happens 🙄
There's a lot to see in the region!
Excellent info. touring video.
Good luck with your stay in France, Mr. Swanson (not many of us can do that) 🤔 !
Another thing not to miss on one's touring in Champagne region is to have Coq au Vin for lunch, it is the cooked chicken piece that melts in one's mouth without much chewing, yet the sauce from red wine supports the meat well until one swallows it down, 🙂 !
That was awesome... thanks for sharing
You bet =)
Waking up to champagne....even if it's only virtual champagne is a great way to start my day. Those deep caves were amazing and the light show was a delight, too. I'm trying not to dwell too much on the fact that today was the day I was originally scheduled to do the champagne tour with Bike About Tours. I'm holding out hope for next July. This also reminded me that after I lived for a year in Paris for the first time, I used to tell my friends that the most valuable thing I learned was how to properly open champagne (hold the cork and twist the bottle). Thank you again for including us all in your life. Now I'm wondering if I should do some champagne with my scrambled eggs and fresh berries....hmmmm. (The answer is yes.)
That's my sort of day trip 🙂 🍾🥂🥂
T'was a blast!
Thank you for another day trip Jay!
You bet!
What a lovely trip
What a perfect couple! Right people!
You guys are so cute! I went to a champagne house a decade ago (don’t remember which one due to brain cell damage) but found it very interesting! Loved her bringing up that if you go “that way” you’ll end up in Europe! Good to know.
This 'stache + beard combo (or Menu) was really working for you, Jay.
Glad to look on your video and your visit to the Chathedral of Reims! There is mutch to look at and it have in a way some history perpendicular to La Grand adame a Paris! And npw since you have been to Reims.....hope you have been at Saint Denise! The beginning and the end in the monarchistic time of France! I have not been at Saint Denise but will go if i can! Barbro Sweden
It's a really cool church! =D
Thanks for these day trip videos. Sorry you missed your second tasting but I am sure it will happen soon. Just spent a few minutes after watching to see what other day trip locations there are close to Paris. I was in Paris for a week and a 1/2 two years ago - took my Mom for her first trip to Europe ever at the young age of 82, stayed near Gare de Lyon. We also spent a week in Mirepoix and a night in Toulouse. From Mirepoix we made day trips each day in a rental car. I had lived in a small village in Arieges, Varilhes, many years ago with my grandfather for a few months. On another trip years ago I stayed in a friend's apt. on Rue Mouffetard for a week and a 1/2. I have been to Paris a few times but will spend more time there once I move to Europe within the next two years. My home base will probably be Spain, not completely certain yet. Good luck on your French citizenship goal!
Very lovely Jay... great tour .. much inspiration ... for a trip to Reims .
In the UK we would call it a set menu (not a combo). Went to Ruinart for a tasting some years ago on a champagne tasting weekend - we visited the caves and had a tasting with 6 different champagnes. Then did another tasting at a small local producer the following day at the small town of Bouzy (yes it;s really called that!). Great video.
In the states its called a “fixed menu” usually with 3 courses and three choices each course.
Fair points on the difference!
Nicole Foinette ...C’était un menu “Prix fixe”...
What a fantastic vlog Jay. I’ve never heard of Ruinard Champagne but will seek it out now. That place looked stunning.
Look at Jay, being charming AF at 9:07! 😂 Those were very healthy pours for a champagne tasting! 🍾 🥂 🥴
😆 We were in luck 🍾🥂
Nice thank you
I stayed in Reims last summer and squeezed in tour of Mumm in the morning and an afternoon tour of three other Champagne houses in the nearby vineyards. What can I say, I’m Australian, cheers 🥂🍾🤣
awww... I'm so glad to look through your eyes at France. This is the first year in a long time I haven't been. :'( It hurts my heart.
I'm glad I can share it with you! =D
what a nice place!
It really is!
All the French Kings' coronation took place inside Reims from Henry I in 1027...a fantastic Gothic cathedral!
This seems to This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thanks Jay and Jess a wonderful day trip one of your best videos
Hi Jay, NEVER miss an opportunity to see the caves of Pommery! The caves at Ruinart are great but the ones at Pommery are the best in Champagne in my opinion. Sadly, the champagne is not, but the cave are not to be missed.
Soooo fancy! Loved it!
Loved Ruinart. What fabulous cellars and art and champagne! Lucky you 😃
Lucky me indeeeeeed!
Have you been to Epernay? It’s beautiful too, lots of great Champagne houses!
If you ever go tasting in EPERNAY, there are two really good independent producers, Gonet-Sulcova and Saint-Chamant. We discovered them at the Salon du Vin, Vignerons Independants, this year Dec 3-6 at Porte de Versailles. Bummer, we will miss it again this year since they changed the dates. 😢
Memories of a much simpler time.😢😮😅
,amaizing. I add the place to my list. Lunch wow made me hungry for more. Hahaha.
That lunch was so good
Be still my heart! This is totally in my wheelhouse!! 🥂✨ 🥰#drinkallthebubbles Btw, nice form on the bubbly double fisting. 🥂🏆
Gracias - I was proud of my double-drinking-selfie-setup 😆
A true talent! Lol
Absolutelty fantastic content Jay! We have subscribed and are fans of what you do. 🔥
Bonsoir Jay great vid has always and good info to have
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wohooo another trip!
🥂🥂
Oooh getting swanky Messieur Swanson!
🍾🥂😎🥂🍾
One champagne house is enough - they all do the same thing.
Rheims cathedral is fascinating though and you could probably do several days in that.
There is the location where the end of hostilities in the second world war was signed on 08 May 1945 in Rheims.
I say it the English way when it is spelt "Rheims" and the French way when it is spelt "Reims" - though my partner is German and makes a completely different vowel sound and a clear m - not a nasal vowel.
There were tons of banners on the walls highlighting different historical events that had taken place in the cathedral. It was amazing - I feel like there's a solid book's worth of material just within those four(hundred?) walls.
@@JaySwanson
When my family went camping in Europe from Britain. We got off the hovercraft at Calais and my father drove to Rheims so every holiday started with a trip to something nearby before heading off for Northern Italy.
When you first mentioned going to Reims, I considered putting it on my itinerary for next summer 🤞 Now, Reims and Épernay are definitely on the list!
We loved the video. Fantastic.
On a side note......you both would make a cute couple.
Magnifique!! Merci, Jay😊
Great video jay
Thank you! 😃
Yesss. I love the daytime videos. Provins was great also
Glad you like them!
Great video Jay! Go to Cognac next time! Worth it😊 xx
I NEED TO KNOW WHERE SHE GOT HER DRESS...please ☺️
With beautiful company you can taste bubbly wine at any time.
So true!
Jess walking through the vineyard. 😍🔥
Could you share you camera gear set up you use when doing a day trip? I'd like to develop my other aviation RUclips channel and I'm a fan of you and your style.
Sure thing! I'm planning to do a gear video here this weekend.
Great video ! Side note, could you post a link or the source of the intro song ?
Sad sow sad that the Charedral of Nantes was burning....in three places....! Barbro Sweden
Yeah - I hope they got it taken care of!
Jay, love this episode. Where to book the trip to Dom Perignon if already in Reims? I am planing a trip this September and want to visit Reims for 2 days.
This video was mad hot! Love it
Maaaad hot! 🔥🍾🔥
Been waiting for this one!
Glad we finally got out there!
thanks for sharing . How do you book the champagne tasting tour & which train station in Paris ahs direct train running to Rheims
Jay is fun tipsy
🥂😎🥂
Jay Swanson my first personal reply I think. My college nickname was bubbles. Keep up these side trips they are amazing footage with fun people. You are amazing.
If we hv to choose any two day trips frm Paris which one it ll be..? Say under 2hrs tarin ride frm Paris
Jay, could I ask you please that in this video, you took the cab or Uber?
I think we took a regular old cab, I forget, but Uber works too as I recall
You haven’t used a disposable camera in a little while ?
Ok, that was just a lucky guess that we call it a brekkie dookie leguuke.
In 1940 They sealed off 5 caverns ''[[ the Germans couldnt get it]] and put there good stuff into them When they opened it in 1946 not one bottle was spoilt
So jealous I want your life now and try champagne is France
🥂🍾🥂
If you aren't going to wear your mask properly, there's no point in bothering! Please cover your nose properly.
You're right, but the mask is not used to protect yourself but to protect other.
Dommage que votre survie exige de ne pas quitter Paris plus d'une petite journée. Reims mérite un peu plus de temps, le Champagne aussi.
So true! Could spend a week in Champagne and never run out of wonderful experiences.
Vous parlez francais
I really enjoy your videos. This one was great, but.... I couldn't see anything else than your mask not covering your nose the whole time ! Be more carfull, don't get sick, we want you to keep making great videos :)
Nice mask, shame it does not fit 😂
Why use a butchered version of a classic song as your soundtrack? You clearly know nothing about music.
And I don't claim to!
