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? Almost four years now, holy cow.
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!
Aaah the one time I've been to Paris this was my stomping grounds! I stayed across from Forum des Halles, and the space invader on that old monumental fountain was the first I ever found 🥰 Love the ugly ole Pompidou Centre - could see it from my bedroom, overlooking the rooftops. And I walked past that tower you can see from the apartment many times, just loved it. 😍 Man I gotta go back.
I'm currently reading Le Ventre de Paris by Zola, which is about Les Halles. Two of the main characters own a charcuterie on Rue Rambuteau, so it was very cool seeing you walk around that area. In the old Halles there was a part underground where they kept live animals and where they butchered the animals that lived there and the animals that were brought in from outside of Paris. I guess a shopping mall is more hygienic.
Ah, missed opportunities..darn it. 😂😂
That apt is GORGEOUS 😍
And the accessibility to everything! Fantastic! That would be a wonderful place to live. I bet it's expensive too.😅
Parcour! I almost spit out my coffee, hahaha. You know I love Tour St Jacques. Absolutely fantastic apartment location. The Vossice! Nice! So very generous of the Vosses, and congratulations to John for retirement.
Thanks Jay for my Paris fix.
Cheers! 😎
What a fabulous apartment. So sad to see you have to leave it. Cheers to the Voss (spelling) family, from my neck of the woods, to allow you to use the space. Thanks for the tour of the neighborhood and space, Jay!
Fun fact: Tour Saint Jacques is the starting point of the Chemin de Paris and has an abundance of significance for pilgrims back in the day and today.
That was one awesome apartment!
Great place and the triple window is wonderful and definitely necessary. When we stay in Spain in any Pueblo we are amazed at all the outside noise there is....it’s a thing definitely 👍👍👍👍
Wow Jay , my wife and I watched your videos and planned our trip to Paris for our 5 year anniversary. We always wondered when we were there if we would have seen you. We stayed at Hotel Le presbytere which is right around the corner from this place. We were there in feb29th to march 4th 2020. When we left france on the 10th we were on the last plane to the US before Europe was closed off. Love your stuff, and have watched your videos for 2 years and followed some of your advice on places when we were there!
That apartment is lovely! When we lived in Rennes, we had the largest place-80 sq m-so we hosted quite a few events including Thanksgiving for 37 people. We had some friends with a 30 sq m place and they had wonderful parties. Take care and be safe!
Awww I thought this was going to be a new project reveal that might involve a new office. Nonetheless, it’s a nice space. Glad you had it available to you. I suspect/expect something else will come available to you.
I love that apartment. And what a view up the street to St Jacques. Ah if only I had the money. Lol. Hope you had a good weekend Jay !
No kidding - looking forward to having a real place like that someday haha
@@JaySwanson Am sure you will one day buddy !
Love this area, always stay in the 1st! Quite an apartment, probably for all that space in the Marais, we are talking 800,000 to over a million!
Thank you for showing us around the apartment. It is much larger than I thought it was. Also the images at the start of this video are great to look at.
Greetings from Central Massachusetts!
Howdy!
Really cool place 👌 R.I.P. The Vossice
Jay I knew where it was from the first video. I’ve spent a lot of time in that neighborhood. Great location too bad it is ending. Looking forward to your next offapartment.
A great apartment and awesome view. Glad you had some good times there Jay 😃 👍🏻
Love your videos Jay. I also live in Paris and this is a great way to find out more about the city!!
Love Tour St Jacques. Still remember that video you did of climbing to the top of it. Until you did that video I had no idea that it was ever open to the public at all and I used to live on rue des Lombards near it. As for the fountain des Innocents....I remember it mainly because it had a fabulous ice cream place that faced it. Wonder if it's still there. Used to love sitting at the Stravinsky fountain behind the Pompidou. Fun to see the area again.
My first trip to Paris in 2012 was a month in Le Marais (Rue des Rosiers, next to Finkelstein's and L’As du Fallafel) and I loved that little park with the tower! And Pompidou is one of my favorite buildings to visit.Great permanent collections as well.
I think it was very nice of the Voss family to let you use the apt. this past year. I looked up the tour and found that it is within two blocks of a small hotel I stayed at on my very first trip to Paris long ago. On my most recent trip I stayed fairly close to the Gare de Lyon. I seem to like that corner of Paris. Looking forward to hearing more about your various projects in the works.
I walk by Tour St Jac all the time. Never knew u can go up it, lol.
Connectivity...it brings unimaginable opportunities.
The Vossice/Vosses gets lots of internet hugs from me, great people! Hooray!
🥳🥳🥳
I loved seeing the Voss Office! Thanks so much for the tour. How lovely Jennica is the patron producer and I love the uplifting gratitude of this video. That’s a really fun area and yeah, I remember a couple of bars around there from back in the day. Very fun to see and reminisce. 👍🏼✌🏼
I love Pompidou and the Fountains were my fav memory of my trip to Europe in 1990 as a student.
omg! right across the street from you is where my husband and i stay when we visit throughout the year! Our friends live right there! ugh i miss!!!
Great place and great location
This was a confusing video, so thanks for keeping me on my toes! Ah HA! That's what he has been keeping a secret. He has a new office! Score! Fantastic location! Wait, what? It's the Voss's! I have seen this apartment. I don't understand. He retired so you can return to the apartment? And the company bought it? That doesn't even make sense. Well, maybe John had cut a sweet deal with his company. Like a model or actress who gets to keep the clothes after the job is done. Because not even a BAD company would forget that they had an apartment in Paris in the fourth on the first. Wait, you are LEAVING?!? I thought you already did. I just figured you got special permission when Kate had plumbing issues. Well, this explains 73 of the questions created earlier on this video. And now I have a headache. But I am mostly no longer confused. That apartment would be great when it is not during a pandemic. I would have spent more time than I had at the window and at the corner people watching. But I do that vicariously through you and your videos. Thanks!
Part of me doesn't want to know how much that apartment would be worth and part of me does. And they may not even be selling the place but keeping it for the next guy. I sure hope John retired because that had always been the plan and that the pandemic did not push it forward. Though if HE is happy and YOU are happy then I am happy.
Thanks Jay!
Loved this video - I miss Paris! Thanks, Jay.
Thanks Jay. That's a really cool neighborhood. We stayed on the next street over two years ago for a couple of weeks. (We also had a killer view of Tour St. Jacques.).
Wow, what an apartment!
Afternoon Jay great weather here seems u sending love and sunshine yeahhhhhh
Rawrrrrr Jennicarrrr!! Yeayyy lights camera PRODUCTION👏🤗
Another great video
This is my favorite channel right now 🔥🔔🙏
Its a pooping closet! A hotel I stayed at in Prague had a pooping closet complete with a tiny sink in there that you could wash your hands while sitting on the toilet!
Cool place Jay, as you say right in the centre of Paris.
At long last we get to see the whole apartment and very nice it is to. Be sad to see it go. Good luck to John in his retirement.
At 4:25 O’Tacos which really isn’t tacos 🌮. Still we had to try it once, just because?
Oh, what a fabulous apartment! It’s huge especially for Paris.
Ohh what a loss of a fabulous Parisienne glorious apartment, Yes the Vosses were very generous but so were you, by loaning it to some of your friends, I hope they are appreciative of your generosity....And Yes I hope they read this...what have you done for Jay lately?!!!.....Yes the person that saved your ass when you got flooded, Yes him ......indeed!!
LOVE the psychedelic skulls on the mask!
You know, psychedelic skulls would make a great band name. Well, I'm off to do some trade-marking!
Nice! Rue Nicolas Flammel🤔next to rue des Lombards, a very busy street with bars and restos...
So beautiful- would love to be there! lol parkour Lovely light in this vlog
The Vosses are bosses! :)
Agreed!
Not a lot impresses me but seeing the Eiffle Tower for the first time did, does seeing it everyday take away the magic of it?
Sadly yeah, but it took a few years thankfully
How much per month would that apartment cost to rent? What would an average price be to buy it? Curious! Thanks
I was curious too, so I looked at apartments for rent and for sale in that area. Rental was 2500 - 3500€ per month and prices to buy were around 1 000 000€. Of course, you'd have to know more information to get a more accurate price.
@@thedavidguy01 thanks David! Awesome stuff
@@Unkn0wnGuy I saw one place in the area for "only" 600 000€ but it looked significantly smaller.
@@thedavidguy01 thanks David, I was wondering the same thing myself - how may Patreons would Jay need in order to fund this kind of rental??
How much would an apartment like this cost, if one was interested? It's beautiful.
Somewhere around 13-16k€ per square meter given the location and view. To rent, prices have now been capped by the city government depending on the neighbourhood, so I would say about 30-35€ per square meter and per month, excl. utilities.
what's the area between the kitchen and bathroom behind the frosted glass? you didn't open those doors.
Awesome
I love the Pompidou Center.
Randomly - why don't you put put ads at the very end of every video? It will make RUclips happy and you could make some beer money. Maybe use it to buy a new bike...
You forgot to mention fontain des innocents is in European vacation. 🤗
Jay weird question. Is there any chance of letting me know the make of the espagnolette lock on the inside of the door? Love from Scotland!
I miss traveling 😏
When i watch your vlogs i seem to be looking at walls for space
invaders
That place must cost a fortune.
How many Euros would a place like that sell for? Maybe even rent?
Would love to know how much that apartment would rent for.
Me too haha
My buddy's company is sending him to Paris. They almost gave him a 5br apartment. 😳 But he is ending up with a 3br, 2 bath in the 16th.
The separate toilet is still weird for me. Soooooo small and not good for claustrophobic people like me.
Huuwwaahhh......"Parkour" lol 😆
Spent a bit of time editing at the start 👍
👍🏼🌼
Très étrange de constater la séparation entre la toilette et la salle de bain... Salutations du Québec
C’est souvent comme ça en France, les toilettes à côté de la sale de bain!
