Going inside Paris without a plan was not great because it is a big city and the way from the airport to the center takes a while and is not the best. There are extremely beautiful places in Paris, but going there with the state of mind you had was not a great idea. You had a close minded idea of Paris before going, you went randomly to a place and stayed with your close minded idea. I am not from Paris but I lived there for 10 years and I will cherish the memories of those years, the good and the bad. PS: there are public bathrooms in Paris, you just need to know how they look like.
@@irisouyart well that’s good to hear that some people like it! I’m sure there are good places to see there. It was definitely kinda cool to have a croissant at a cafe. But I’ve just never enjoyed cities. Maybe I just need a good guide😉
Macarons are tricky. Plain bakery macarons are rarely good. You need to go to a place that specializes in macarons. You can try Ladurée (they have shops in the States) or better Pierre Hermé or Jean-Paul Hévin. Be prepared to fork out quite a bit. A small, bite-size macaron is about 3€. In a plain bakery, stick to croissants and pain au chocolat (same dough as croissants, different shape and chocolate inside, usually partly sticking out on both sides) or pain aux raisins (like a cinnamon roll with raisins but without the cinnamon). Come back, I'll show you around.
Yo, that sounds freaking delicious. I just had the plain bread croissant and it was SO good compared to what I’ve had in the states. I would love to try some More delicious pastries like that.
@@jakekblue I know the place you went to, their croissants are actually very good. AND you were lucky, it was early in the morning when they are fresh.Croissants and baguette don't keep very well. A good baguette is still a bit warm from the oven. They have a bad surface to volume ratio so they dry out quickly. They can also go limp and chewy on a rainy day. A good bakery bakes baguettes at least twice a day. What you had was the now rare "ficelle" (string), even trickier. Good for you !
If you're lost or wonder if you're in the right train, why don't you just ask someone ? We Parisians are grumpy and in a hurry, but we don't bite. Also : there's nobody in the streets ! Looks like a Sunday morning. Everything closed on rue de Rivoli.
I don't get why you're so scared. You're from the states ? Should be much more dangerous. You could have had a look on a map before. Tickets you get at vending maschines. Paris is awesome. I'm just back from Paris. Loved it.
@@connycatlady7429 I’m so happy you love it. For me, I just see no reason to ever go back. Absolutely brutal with zero wilderness presence and it’s really hard for me to be in places like that.
Slightly insulting that you showed up to Paris with no plan, no time and by your own admission, a terrible mindset and proclaim at the end that you “did Paris”. Paris is soooooooooo much more than coffee and croissants…. Don’t write it off yet.
This would totally be me traveling to Paris! No Thank you! LOL Safe travels Jake!
Glad I'm not the only one who freaks out in cities haha. Next videos from Greece will be much happier lol
