Based on your videos, I booked my first ever trip to Paris and had the most wonderful time. It seems incredible to me that the average stay for tourists is 3 to 4 days. I stayed a week and would have preferred a month! I know about ten French words but they are the right ones. Politeness is key. A proper greeting and Merci can take you a long way. I felt completely safe at all. hours of the day and night. I'm a senior and mostly invisible to people here in the states. Young people in Paris gave up their seat on the metro to let me sit, or held doors open for me. They were incredibly courteous. Yes, there was the one person inside the airport offering to take my luggage to their taxi. I knew to avoid that and go to the taxi stand, and avoid people wanting me to sign a petition and donate. Other than that, no issues, . Merci Les Frenchies for giving me the confidence to go on my great adventure. Next year will be a longer stay!
Go girl! Every time you go back, it’s a different experience. Try all different neighbourhoods. After a few short visits, I went there for three weeks and it wasn’t enough.
@@FreshGrey-pm4vw La Chambre du Marais. Yes, It was perfect, like staying in a velvet covered jewel box. I booked online direct with the hotel. Good location, bilingual staff, quiet and cozy.
I know you had a great visit. I did a 3 week solo European trip from Vienna to Paris in 2018 - as a retired senior woman. My last 5 days were in Paris, and although I had been there 3 times before, there is so much to see. However, this last trip, I really slowed down - walked miles every day sometimes aimlessly, spent more time sitting outdoors at cafes, and eating whatever I wanted. 😁
@@FreshGrey-pm4vw I stayed at La Chamber du Marais. Lovely boutique hotel, recommended by Les Frenchies. See their video on Best Boutique hotels. I tell everyone it was like staying in a velvet covered jewel box. I booked directly with them online and included breakfast. Perfect eggs and bilingual staff. Can't wait to go back.
As a parisian i think every tourists that come to Paris should see your video about scams and things to know before going here. I would also like to say that Paris is quiet safe for local, less safe for tourists but still very safe. My best advice is to always be aware and to detect weird people around you ib touristic spots like museums or airports
I was in Paris in July and all your tips are spot on...I found saying Bonjour and an opening sentence in French was easy and the locals appreciated the effort.
My first time in France I knew about 25 words of French. The next time that I traveled to France I knew a little more than 125 words, and I had a much better experience. I traveled to other cities, and often communicated in a combination of French and English.
Having visited Paris on several occasions- great advice and great video 😊 My tip would be, rather than asking if a person speaks English (which can be seen as somewhat impolite), simply start every conversation with "Bonjour, je suis désolé, je ne parle pas français. Je suis... (insert your nationality)- "Hello, I'm sorry, I don't speak French, I am..."- then continue in whatever fractured French you may have. Generally, if the person with whom you are speaking speaks English (better than your French), they will, very quickly, speak English to you if you are having difficulties. It shows your respect for the language and the culture which the French tend to appreciate.
If you are doing Duolingo - the french podcast or the audio lessons are the way to go for quickly learning some conversational elements. The regular lessons are a much slower way of building vocabulary! You two both made our trip to Paris so so much better, Thank you!
google translate was the most amazing thing for my very first trip to paris. i felt so comfortable because of it . it translates everything in real time. going to the grocery store was so easy using it 😃
We just returned from a trip in July and it was so fun. The people were wonderful and so patient and kind. The RATP app was super helpful with the Metro if we were trying to get someplace at a specific time, and also noted if certain lines weren’t running (like during the last stage of the Tour de France). We used Navigo Easy cards and the station agent helping us set them up spoke a little English so with my little French, we did just fine. I cannot wait to return and explore more. So much history, so many croissants, never enough time. We also (not on purpose) did a speed run in the Louvre and saw all our “must see” pieces in 30 minutes! We stayed for longer after that but it can be done! The Paris Museum Pass is great.
@@MarcellinaMoon so fun! It was warm but not too bad. We had just come from the UK where they experienced the hottest day ever recorded so anything felt better than that! The evenings got cool. We were find in light coats, then took them off as the day went on. We were there for four nights and it was good for us as we were visiting many places but I could spend a solid month there. We stayed in the Marais and I really enjoyed it. Lots of activity so even at night it felt fine. Lots of great restaurants and things to see and do. Just a note: we were there towards the end of July and noticed a lot of restaurants were starting their August holiday the last week in July. Not all, but a number of neighborhood places. We found PLENTY to eat at but just a note. Have the best time!
@@sarah-phillips thank you for your reply and help! We are thinking of going in early September because that's our wedding anniversary so I imagine it would be a bit cooler then and hopefully not as crowded. It will be our first time there and I have wanted to go to Paris since I was a small child! It's so exciting to even think about it. Thank you again!
Fantastic video! All your tips are excellent. In particular regarding the language. In many videos, derogatory comments, complaining that French people don't speak English. Well I don't expect the English, the German or in any other foreign countries that they speak French. It always surprises me. Anyway, Both of you are doing a great job❤️🌷
Leaving tomorrow for vacation to Germany to see family & Paris for 6 nights and 5 days! I’ve watched your videos over and over the past 6 months and you’ve been extremely helpful. This is a dream come true for me 😍 Thank you so very much!!!!
As someone who has taken and facilitated many European tours and study abroad trips for students, I was pretty confident with my travel know-how and experience. Then I found your videos!! They are absolutely brilliant and provide such valuable and relevant insider information! I wish you had these videos for every city in Europe! And your videos are done with zero pretense. Just friendly knowledge. I’ve been watching your videos and taking notes like crazy for two days 😂 I am a fan! It’s like a Masterclass to Paris! Thank you for this amazing content!
I was so happy to find your channel. It's wonderful! I live in NJ and I have never been to Paris, in fact I've never been to Europe. Though I planned to for decades. But life got in the way. I started to believe I would never get there. The two of you have made me enthusiastic again. I need to go before I get too old. Thanks! 💚
Another great video! Never let language be a problem. It feels like the stereotype of Parisiens is changing all the time and language is less and less of an issue. Learn some French phrases, say Bonjour and enjoy your adventure.
I am visiting Paris for 5 days (from the US) for the first time in just two weeks. I am so excited! I've been using Duolingo to practice my high school French for the last couple of months, and think it's a great app to feel a bit more comfortable about the potential language barrier. I appreciate your take on what to wear, as I was a bit concerned about how chic I needed to be. Great tips in this video. Merci beaucoup, bonne journee!
I hope you have an amazing time! Paris is a beautiful city, and the people are very kind and friendly to most visitors. True story, almost everyone who stopped to help us when we looked lost in Paris was an American living in Paris, so watch out, your 5 day trip may result in a desire to stay longer!
Thanks you for saying " it's their home and it's respectful to use their language" ❤️❤️❤️ I really appreciate 🥰. Coming from a french person who as being told multiple time from english person that I should speak english in my own french country 😅 Just trying to speak french is SO welcome 🤩 you'll have a better service. Merci 😊
In 2 weeks my Darling and I will meet in Paris, the city of all lovers. This will be our first meeting. We will stay there for 7 days and we plan our visit according to your videos. Thank you very much for the interesting educational channel, for the enthusiasm and love that you share with us!❤️
@@stmaartennannies315 Yes, we met and spent an unforgettable week in Paris. We were completely delighted with the city and each other. Now we are far apart, but we will meet again soon!
Leaving in 10 days, these guys are great in emphasizing the essentials in traveling to Paris. I’ll have to go back and rewatch some important videos and take notes.
I have stayed in Belleville whilst on holiday from Scotland for over 12 years. Belleville is very cosmopolitan and has a cool vibe. The transport is fantastic and the prices are good.
Great tips!! It’s a most to dedicate more days (3 to 4) to Paris it’s city with so much to see you need a minimum 7 days to get the essential and the beauty of it!!!❤❤ Paris.
Another great video! One thing I will just add is to look at which of the Paris/Euro banks are connected to your bank in the US. An example is that BOFA is connected with BNP Paribas and thus when you need cash from an ATM, you will not pay any transaction fee when you use the connecting bank in Pairs. :)
Just to add if you have a handicap card, bring it with you. You can use it skip the line for popular museums and even save your pay for tickets (you and your partner).
I love your video, I lived with my parents as a teenager...but it's amazing how things have changed in Paris, i see it through your posts and how the food too has become more multi cultural, even to see people eating in the street/street food is amazing because as youngster that was a no no...walking around the Blvd eating food. A Table was the rule....again you posts are great. A great video would be for the disabled/and the accessibility.
Fully agree! We used to travel to Paris a lot (via Eurostar) and found that taking a wheelchair around Paris is quite uncomfortable across the (many) cobblestone streets (pavés). A shame really, as Paris such a walkable city otherwise. A practical disabled guide/commentary from a local perspective would be really handy, although we accept it would not be easy for a non-disabled person to comment effectively. Love this channel, btw! 🫶🇫🇷👩🦽
I love listening to you Your voices have such an inviting tone Bright and joyful Your energy is so communicative Thank you for sharing your smiles And your light 😊🕊💕🕊💫
I just come back from paris !! I follow your guide, I went to a lot of the places you recommend to eat! for the transportation I like better the bus, so you can see everything. I struggle with the language but they were helpful and respond in english. The only thing I didnt knew anything about was Versailles, would like to have some of the info 😜 THANK YOU SO MUCH, looking forward to go back very soon!!
It's our first time to Paris. We're from Toronto and are taking a Mediterranean cruise for 11 nights leaving from Marseille. We decided to fly to Paris as it's easier to find a direct flight and they always say to arrive early to deal with jet lag. We are to land at CDG and are (from your tips) taking the train to Gare de Lyon and staying at Mercure Paris Gare de Lyon. We chose this hotel because we're taking the bullet train to Marseille to leave for our cruise and as we noticed, it's not a huge city and public transit looks like the way to go. After the cruise we reverse the process and come back to Paris for a day then back to "The big smoke" (Toronto) Thanks to your videos we are creating an itinerary to see some of the "must sees". Waiting patiently for the Spain and France football leagues to try to catch a game with either Marseille, PSG, or Barca. Definitely going to Camp Nou whether there's a game or not. We bought the guide for Paris, and are enjoying the process. Thank you very much for all your tips. P.S. I have a daughter than is going to school in Montreal, a city I have always loved. I think of it as out north american Paris. :)
After watching several of your videos, I realize you are in my top 10 excellent videos. For the reason that you do not have the annoying precursors of telling viewers to subscribe and to like the video. The length of your videos is excellent. They are "chewable" sizes and do not have too much information crammed in. Or not too long with unnecessary fluff. Thank you! Or shall I say merci beaucoup :)
Amazing video as usual. Anytime is certainly the right time for Paris!! Recommend people research any fees that might be associated with using their credit or debit card overseas. Some banks and credit card companies charge a flat fee or percentage on international transactions, usually quantified as an 'exchange fee' on your statement. I recommend finding a card that specifically does not charge these fees (personally use Capital One Sapphire) because Les Frenchies are correct - you'll use your card almost everywhere. Equally important is calling to notify your bank and credit card companies of when you'll be internationally traveling so they don't automatically flag your card or decline a transaction as fraudulent during your travels abroad.
You covered most of the questions usually asked especially dress comfortable and in layers. I always advise to bring a waterproof coat/jacket. Through May, weather is temperate but can get rather cold or cool and it can rain anytime but that should not dampen your fun. The other tip maybe over looked was not to over pack as tourists almost always shop and come home with lots more than they came with sometimes having to buy another suitcase. We did that more than once as shopping is great in Paris especially in small local boutiques. Have fun!
Très belle et très jolie nouvelle video culturelle sur comment voyager á Paris, merci beaucoup pour cette nouvelle information, very beautiful and very georgeous video cultural of the day on the theme of the travels to Paris
One question… can you two join me and my wife? We’re leaving for a wedding in Antibes in early September and then off to Paris for four nights. Your videos are fabulous! I’ll be tuning in A LOT over the next few weeks. So wonderful. The last time we were in Paris was our honeymoon, September, 1990. I think our hotel cost $300 a night then. I called them, $2,000 per night! Wild. Thank you for your help!!
Thank you so much for all of this videos, they are so good and full of information. They've helped me so much to organize my trip to Paris! Merci beaucoup!!!
Great advice. Re phone/laptop I was informed that chargers have built in adapters to handle the 220. You do need an adapter because our prongs do not work in the French/European configuration.
Thank you for your tips and videos! I'm pretty sure they help many peoplel (Brazilians like me, including) to discover this charming city! Allez, on y va
Thanks for the helpful tips, I'm making a mental note for when I do decide to visit Paris. I'm happy you shared your experiences on utube. God bless!🙏😊🙏😊
thanks for the video~ personally I love to travel Paris around end of May to early June, nice weather and relatively lower price for hotel~~~ also avoid to travel during fashion week, hard to get a room or even grab a taxi~~~~
Great video Les Frenchies! Your tips are well researched & very helpful to the novice & experienced tourist alike! Keep up the excellent vlogs- we look forward to them every wk!
Your vids are so helpful. In 4 weeks it will be my 5th trip to France in my lifetime. Am still learning a lot from you. Also, they are making me all the more excited.
What a useful video, you guys are the best! So thoughtful and detailed - much appreciated! 🙏🥰🥰🥰 I’ve been to wonderful Paris twice and yet this video is super helpful as I’m planning to come again 🥰 Merci!
Merci !!! 0:45 anytime? Ok for this gloomy December, but Paris will be nicer indoors ... Museums, restaurants, castles ... Unless you enjoy the poetry of the Paris-grey strolling by river Seine. The “King of skies” (Eugène Boudin-a few canvasses at the musée d’Orsay) did paint great views of the city’s sky, but I guess that was from the months of February and October ...
Love your videos! We've been to Paris once and are planning a trip back in October 2023. Can't wait and always something new to learn with Les Frenchies!
Heading to Paris in October, first/second week, what should I plan to wear? I’ve watched a lot of your videos and you talked about summer and winter weather but not about fall. Thank you! Love your videos!
Thanks for the excellent advice. As a Parisian having travelled in loads of place I can say that in Paris, the key to people's heart is "Bonjour". Never start a sentence in English straight away as this will close you many doors. Just trying to speak a little French will start the multi-lingual capabilities of the people you are talking to. Yes renting a car in Paris, like in London or New York is a waste. Better use the excellent public transportation: faster and much cheaper, especially with Tourist day passes. Excellent suggestion about wearing confortable shoes because to really enjoy Paris, you need to walk. You will discover so many more things (hidden treasures). Avoid having a camera as this will label you as a tourist, just use your smart phone. Plan ahead about the key things you want to do as this may save you hours of waiting time in queues (Le Louvre, Eiffel tower, night attractions, etc). Shopping place is les grands magasins, Boulevard Haussman, including Le Printemps and Galeries Lafayette in the 8ème Arrondissement (8th District). You may even, for large purchases, get a VAT refund at the Airport when leaving for a non-EU country. Never have a fat wallet in your jeans' rear pocket (this is an invite to pickpockets). Enjoy your stay in Paris
Awesome video thanks for both of you. I went to Paris last month after running BERLIN-MARATHON. I really love everything in Paris people, places and food especially croissants 🥐. Will be back again for sure 😁
Can you please do a video about the best restaurants for traditional French Foods such as Boeuf bourguignon, Coq au vin, Soupe à l’oignon, Ratatouille,… The kind of food that is great for colder weather? Thank you
I love your vids! I used the prev ones to navigate Paris this month! The scam vids were on point. The entrance to the Louvre was great cause the line was HUGE. You are amazing. Thank you
We'll be going to Paris soon for our 4th time and have never encountered a rude Parisienne, but we have always been polite and know some important French sentences. We always get euros and other foreign currency through our bank before going. Exchange rates are high at those kiosks.

After watching several of your videos, I realize you are in my top 10 excellent videos. For the reason that you do not have the annoying precursors of telling viewers to subscribe and to like the video. The length of your videos is excellent. They are "chewable" sizes and do not have too much information crammed in. Or not too long with unnecessary fluff. Thank you! Or shall I say merci beaucoup :)
I agree 😊
Amazing video as usual. Anytime is certainly the right time for Paris!! Recommend people research any fees that might be associated with using their credit or debit card overseas. Some banks and credit card companies charge a flat fee or percentage on international transactions, usually quantified as an 'exchange fee' on your statement. I recommend finding a card that specifically does not charge these fees (personally use Capital One Sapphire) because Les Frenchies are correct - you'll use your card almost everywhere. Equally important is calling to notify your bank and credit card companies of when you'll be internationally traveling so they don't automatically flag your card or decline a transaction as fraudulent during your travels abroad.
Great information! Merci! You answered all my questions! 😊
You covered most of the questions usually asked especially dress comfortable and in layers. I always advise to bring a waterproof coat/jacket. Through May, weather is temperate but can get rather cold or cool and it can rain anytime but that should not dampen your fun. The other tip maybe over looked was not to over pack as tourists almost always shop and come home with lots more than they came with sometimes having to buy another suitcase. We did that more than once as shopping is great in Paris especially in small local boutiques. Have fun!
Thanks to your advice. I really had a good time in Paris. Your advice was very useful.
Discovered this channel recently and I'm just in love with it. Fantastic job! You guys are great!!
Very informative and well presented.
Who's HUNGRY?!

One question… can you two join me and my wife? We’re leaving for a wedding in Antibes in early September and then off to Paris for four nights. Your videos are fabulous! I’ll be tuning in A LOT over the next few weeks. So wonderful. The last time we were in Paris was our honeymoon, September, 1990. I think our hotel cost $300 a night then. I called them, $2,000 per night! Wild. Thank you for your help!!
You're a lovely lady. Thank you for your video. I'm planning a trip to Europe. Merci Beaucoup!
I stayed at the Warrick Hotel in Paris and Hotel staff was outstanding.
Thank you so much for all of this videos, they are so good and full of information. They've helped me so much to organize my trip to Paris! Merci beaucoup!!!
Of course, France is all about wine, but could you do a video on the local/regional beer? Merci.
Connaisseurs not connoisseurs 😅
Great advice. Re phone/laptop I was informed that chargers have built in adapters to handle the 220. You do need an adapter because our prongs do not work in the French/European configuration.
Thank you for your tips and videos! I'm pretty sure they help many peoplel (Brazilians like me, including) to discover this charming city!
Allez, on y va
You English is just superb, I've learnt few words here. Thanks !
Thanks for the helpful tips, I'm making a mental note for when I do decide to visit Paris. I'm happy you shared your experiences on utube. God bless!🙏😊🙏😊
I have just bought the Paris Travel Guide. Imatient to explore and the guide and Paris soon. Thank you for your very useful and nice videos.
I don’t allow myself to be vulnerable to anyone because vulnerability can lead to emotional/physical harm especially if not aware of others intentions
Get the Travel Guide, folks. It’s really helpful.
Graat, informative video. It's nicely laid out, easy to follow.
Thank you. Enjoy your travels!
thanks for the video~ personally I love to travel Paris around end of May to early June, nice weather and relatively lower price for hotel~~~ also avoid to travel during fashion week, hard to get a room or even grab a taxi~~~~
You 2 are sensational... everyone of your videos are gems...perfectly precise. Planning my trip as I type this!!
Great video Les Frenchies! Your tips are well researched & very helpful to the novice & experienced tourist alike! Keep up the excellent vlogs- we look forward to them every wk!
Your vids are so helpful. In 4 weeks it will be my 5th trip to France in my lifetime. Am still learning a lot from you. Also, they are making me all the more excited.
Thanks - brilliant content! Thinking of going to Paris in May, 2023.
What a useful video, you guys are the best! So thoughtful and detailed - much appreciated! 🙏🥰🥰🥰 I’ve been to wonderful Paris twice and yet this video is super helpful as I’m planning to come again 🥰 Merci!
Love your videos. You’ve put so much work into them! Any advice about the bedbug situation? What has been your experience been?
Every week, you always leave me wanting more....thank you for all your quality work, passion and content on Paris and France.
Merci !!! 0:45 anytime? Ok for this gloomy December, but Paris will be nicer indoors ... Museums, restaurants, castles ... Unless you enjoy the poetry of the Paris-grey strolling by river Seine. The “King of skies” (Eugène Boudin-a few canvasses at the musée d’Orsay) did paint great views of the city’s sky, but I guess that was from the months of February and October ...
Great tips as always! thanks!
❤ Thanks for sharing. We are planning a trip soon. These tips help. ❤
Those are all of the things I'm thinking about. Not worried. Been there before.
Merci pour les bons conseils.
Good overall advice. When it comes to hotels, I would always choose one that offered a good breakfast as part of the daily rate.
Thanks for the info about Orange. I have a plan with Bell but they keep upping the daily. It used to be $10 and is now $12.
It's $15 now. It's $12 for the USA but more in the rest of the world.
Love your videos! We've been to Paris once and are planning a trip back in October 2023. Can't wait and always something new to learn with Les Frenchies!
Another great video! One comment about Orange. Long lines are common: Monday’s, mornings at opening and lunch hour.
Heading to Paris in October, first/second week, what should I plan to wear?
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and you talked about summer and winter weather but not about fall.
Thank you! Love your videos!
I love your videos. They are so helpful. I downloaded your handbook and made myself a binder for my trip to Paris in two weeks.
Thanks for the excellent advice. As a Parisian having travelled in loads of place I can say that in Paris, the key to people's heart is "Bonjour".
Never start a sentence in English straight away as this will close you many doors. Just trying to speak a little French will start the multi-lingual capabilities of the people you are talking to.
Yes renting a car in Paris, like in London or New York is a waste. Better use the excellent public transportation: faster and much cheaper, especially with Tourist day passes.
Excellent suggestion about wearing confortable shoes because to really enjoy Paris, you need to walk. You will discover so many more things (hidden treasures).
Avoid having a camera as this will label you as a tourist, just use your smart phone.
Plan ahead about the key things you want to do as this may save you hours of waiting time in queues (Le Louvre, Eiffel tower, night attractions, etc).
Shopping place is les grands magasins, Boulevard Haussman, including Le Printemps and Galeries Lafayette in the 8ème Arrondissement (8th District). You may even, for large purchases, get a VAT refund at the Airport when leaving for a non-EU country.
Never have a fat wallet in your jeans' rear pocket (this is an invite to pickpockets).
Enjoy your stay in Paris
Love love love the video❣️Great info! My husband and I will be in Paris for four days and we’re pretty excited.
Excellent primer, one of the very best. Merci!
Awesome video thanks for both of you. I went to Paris last month after running BERLIN-MARATHON. I really love everything in Paris people, places and food especially croissants 🥐. Will be back again for sure 😁
Wonderful advice, wished I had it for my first trip there. Thoroughly enjoy all your vlogs. Your are such a friendly, warm and informative couple. 👌🤗
Going to paris nxt week... your videos are really helpful❤️❤️
I just arrived to Paris and I felt like a local (well almost, hahaha) thanks to this video, thank you!
you're very welcome
Thank you for sharing these informations, me and my friends will visit Paris this Nov.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel that would be lovely😍
You guys have fantastic content....
Can you please do a video about the best restaurants for traditional French Foods such as Boeuf bourguignon, Coq au vin, Soupe à l’oignon, Ratatouille,… The kind of food that is great for colder weather? Thank you
Great video !
But we're here now....lol
Thanks for all your tips, we're really enjoying ourselves here in Paris.
Love your video!! Thank you!
I love visiting Europe in winter. To us, it is easier to get warm than to get cool. You'd be surprised how many hotels don't have AC.
I have been binge watching your videos and wondering if you guys are USA citizens living in Paris or French but with an American accent?
I am loving these videos. Do you have any videos on what to do during the winter? Or suggest anyone who does? Coming Dec 26-Jan 1…
I've already looked up the bistro with the profiteroles, it's on my list for next time! Thanks!
I love your vids! I used the prev ones to navigate Paris this month! The scam vids were on point. The entrance to the Louvre was great cause the line was HUGE. You are amazing. Thank you
Where is the glass-enclosed walkway that is shown at the beginning of this video? Thank you.
We'll be going to Paris soon for our 4th time and have never encountered a rude Parisienne, but we have always been polite and know some important French sentences.
We always get euros and other foreign currency through our bank before going. Exchange rates are high at those kiosks.
In Paris best exchange rates are rue Vivienne or Chinatown (Paris 13)
The info in this video is very helpful. Merci.
THANK YOU
Such great advice. I love watching your videos. Definitely will be checking out the spots you suggested. You guys are awesome! 👍
