In this video, we cross Paris to see what is going on with the Olympics with @brettconti and @LivingBobby! I'll update you on the last minute Olympic makeover of Paris, on whether or not we will be able to swim in the Seine river, and on what locals truly think of the games. Also, I'm sharing my best tips (the ones I'll personally apply) if you're coming to Paris during the Olympics.

Sooo excited for the Olympics! Awesome video lucile :D
Me too!! :)
@LivingBobby hey 👋 Bobby, I'm excited for the Olympics. Also, you should try out for an Olympic event ! This is a new one. I just made it up ! It's called the human garbage 🗑 disposal where you eat and eat and eat ! Until someone hurls, throws up ! Jamie
Enjoy the Games! We live in Sydney and had a fantastic two weeks in 2000
Thank you for this video. I will be visiting next month so this is helpful!
Thank you for watching and enjoy your trip :)
I'm ready to watch the Paris Olympics on TV.
I’m very excited for your videos during the Olympics!! Please make some awesome videos!
I got out of Paris 2 weeks ago, thank gawd. was a great visit. but, it felt like the lull before the storm. ....and you, Persians run for cover at the sight of a single drop of rain. it's not raining for you whole bike ride when all footage shows dry streets. lol
What do the Persians have to do with anything?
@@peregrino9154 doh, autocorrect fail. Parisians. sorry bout that one.
Bonjour and good afternoon! Samantha and I love your videos. We will be in Paris for the Olympics from 7/28 - 8/11. We will use your spectacular advice to the fullest!!
Great to see cycling improving!
Evening Lucile how are you? I can't imagine how hectic Paris is going be during these days during the Olympics this year! Love watching your videos about Paris the city of Love & thanks for giving advice here! ❤
Thank you for watching this video :) I’m doing great, how are you doing?
@@LucileHR I'm doing well here & someday I would love to visit Paris next year!
Hello, I'll be there on the closing day morning. Hopefully movement will be better. Thank you for the information.
Subscribed ! Please do cover more around the Paris games. Really interested to see from a locals perspective. Thank you for sharing. Merci Beaucoup 😊
Merci !! I’m planning to vlog the games :)
@@LucileHR great, if you could try a Livestream someday as well that would be awesome !
Also there is a Olympic sport called sport-climbing, see it once if you get a chance, it'll blow your mind.
Great video, I learned a lot!
It’s been 15 years since my last visit to Paris. I’ll be there in 3 weeks’ time, for the Olympics. Excited to be in Paris again, but also sad that it won’t be the Paris that I remember and loved.
We were in Paris for the week of June 16th. Beautiful city! My boys loved seeing the Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower.
The Olympic Triathlon starts and ends on Pont Alexandre lll but there's definitely no swimming in the 42.195klm Marathon which concludes at Les Invalides. I've loved watching every one of your vlogs Lucile as we arrive in Paris for 3 nights on 30th July. We've not been to Paris since 2007 although we've travelled to Europe every year since 2017 (except covid years) and are quite excited to visit my favourite city in the world although I can't believe the cost of our hotel accommodation this time. In 2007 we stayed at Hotel du Louvre and this time at a boutique Hotel Le Littre. Keep up your excellent work!!
thanks a lot for the resale adv. I got one of the tickets that i really wanted to get.. you the best 🤗
Omg!! Yay! I love to read this! Which ticket did you get??
@@LucileHR I was able to get the volleyball game between Turkey and Dominic Rep. fingers crossed hopefully it will be amazing. I'll keep following your videos for the local tips as well to avoid the crowded franchise restaurants as I'd like supporting local boutique restaurants =) keep up with good work ☺
We need a collab video between Bobby, Lucile and Brett 😍
Yesss :)
@@LucileHRIt's crazy how my two favorite travel bloggers know each other lol. Small world. I'm surprised there hasn't already been out in either channel. If not now, probably during the Olympics or afterwards? ;)
Pumped up for the olympics!
5:28 I’m with Bobby! We were undecided until recently and booked our trip for three nights. Jeux Olympiques!
have fun!! :)
I watched this episode of the life of lucy . Lol sorry all you do is very entertaining and very insightful with boxes of knowledge!
I am going to Paris in 9 days I am so excited to go!
Enjoyyyyy!!
Look on the bright side: 15 million people bringing income they made in another country to be spent in Paris, is going to be good for the local economy.
A couple of weeks ago I was in Paris and whilst on the Seine boat cruise, I managed to spot the 5 Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower, which I had climbed earlier that day and completely not noticed! It's a nice touch, I must say!
In the light of recent events and talking to people who went on vacation in France (and cut it short in some cases), Paris looks like a very safe or enjoyable place to be at this time. I hope the two of you stay safe.
Do you own a television?
@@UA-camistreason The riots in Paris looked unsafe both on my phone screen and my tv…your point?
Thanks for the advise, it's super helpful. You mentioned there are 2 ways to resell the Olympic tickets. I can find the official one but not the other one. Can you please share? Thanks
Bonjour ... En dépit que je sois grand fan de Paris, je m'en fiche des jeux olympiques -mais quand même je vous félicite non seulement de votre maîtrise de l'anglais mais aussi de l'excellent reportage sur les changements liés a l'événement et les bons conseils pratiques ciblés aux visiteurs. ¡Felicidades por este muy buen trabajo! Atentamente le saludo desde Chicago ...
I got tickets for beach volleyball on 27 July. Can’t wait to see it!
See you there unless you got afternoon session:o)
@@ondrejsoroka8170 Dope, mine is at 10pm!
Thank you for the tips, Lucile! You and Theo are our go-tos for local info for the time we'll be there during the Olympics. Are bicycles available to rent, and are they a good way to get around in general??
I really like your enthusiasm but Paris is a disaster and I still don't understand how they chose it to host the Olympics when there are so many better and more prepared cities that could host them (I think the same about the next edition which is in Los Angeles, another disaster of city), the pollution of the air and the river, the garbage in the streets, the crime rate is scandalous, the homeless, the insecurity that exists and I don't understand why they haven't fought against this much before (simply answer, they don't care) and what about the 4 euros per ticket (like WTF???), everything is selling smoke and it's a shame that a city like Paris is so destroyed and that instead of being fine all the time for a long time it's only fine for three weeks and then what? I want to see the number of cases of pickpockets that there'll be and I hope you talk about not only the good but also the bad things that happened after this event.
Let me guess.. you are a french râleur ! Always complaining. Crying. You think your country is an hell.
Let me say it:
Those games will be incredible.
There's going to be some 🔥 over there for the Olympics. Stay safe 🙏
I was in Paris the first week of July and I cannot believe Paris will be ready for the Olympics. At least some unions may benefit from it.
It should be a beautiful Olympics. Do not forget the pool swimming.
Hi,
Thank you so much for the informative video. I will come to Paris at the beginning of September, and the Paralympic Games will be continuing at that time. Do you think some places will still be closed in September? Thank you , all the best.
I am looking forward with Men's Football Tournament! ⚽
Thank 😊 You For Outstanding 😘 Video. I Can't Get To Paris For The Games Will Watch Your Videos❤😅😊🎉😂
I love Paris❤
Nice topic!
Can you make a video specific for the bridges on river Seine?
Thank you! Do you mean a video about what will happen to the bridges during the Olympics? :)
@@LucileHR I was thinking about filming each bridge and tell us more history about it, but not Olympic related.
For me will be interesting to learn something for the constructions and the architects.
Not after watching the videos from the past 48 hours. Good luck France, you're gonna need it.
France has been hosting major international events for decades, like the olympics, FIFA World cup, rugby World cup and so on and it's always been perfect. They know what they're doing
@@almamater9566 You are correct. They have plenty of practice with riots, strikes and protests in Paris.
@@httr21skins not everybody has to be spineless. Some people prefer standing up for themselves and fighting for their rights.
I’ve been and seen soldiers/ special forces swimming in the river. Near the garden Des plants.
Imagine to put all the money that is necessary to make the Seine swimable into drilling water fountains in Africa where they really need them …
Past weekend I was in Paris, in 2 weeks again. But with the OG in stay in Belgium.
That was a neat video 📹 Lucille the Olympics wow ! Beautiful place for it ! And you certainly looked beautiful 😍 Lucille ! I hope your weekend was good 👍 😊 well again . Thanks. I love ❤️ you, Lucille, my buddy always ❤️ never forget jamie 😊
Thank you for watching this video Jamie :)
@LucileHR your welcome, Lucille ❤️ jamie
I know people classic assumption is that the Olympics is like glamorous show biz to sells sports , drama and competition but actually it’s like a massive makeover project to branding a city
As a sports fan, Paris Olympics would be a dream come true. Cependent, je n'ai pas d'argent...😭
:((( on avait trouvé des billets pas chers, mais on était hyper flexibles sur nos dispos, j'espère que tu en trouveras aussi !!
@LucileHR ok I will have to swim across the Atlantic first 🏊♂️
Bonjour - et merci!
I believe that they raise the price of the subway ticket (which is one time use, and must be bought each time you use subway) in ordre to oblige people to use long time ticket or navigo pass
Hotels are not even fully booked. I checked the hotel prices, I thought they were gonna be expensive but they’re actually quite cheap. Even the plane tickets from Canada are not that expensive, I guess tourists are shying away from Olympics and the violence of all the protests that are happening in Paris
Muay Thai also becoming an official demonstrations sport at the Paris Olympics ,since it is a demonstrations sports , of course there would be no medal count for this event ,
For certain sports to have an official recognition spot by the Olympic committee , certain sports should have a federations spans from 50 to 100 countries ,
I think it’s really make sense since Muay Thai federations itself have a large span from 50 to 100 countries
Don’t many/most Parisians usually go on vacation for most of August anyway?
All the predictions for a transportation nightmare during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics turned out to be wrong. So many people left the city that the freeways were empty and vehicular traffic was the easiest and fastest it has ever been.
Hope you get much the same in Paris!
Yes! A lot of people I know are leaving, so let’s hope things will run smoothly :)
I completely forgot those damn olympics and booked 4 days in paris. can you suggest me where to stay and what to avoid ? thanks! we were planning to book au nord de montmartre merci !! en espérant avoir un retour avant notre départ!! :)
Traveling to and from CDG Airport by metro is the worst ive experienced !!!!
Bonjour, LOVE your channel! I'm coming back to Paris in October, do you think the city will be back to "normal" by the time I arrive? My dates are Oct. 13-22. Merci!!
It will yes :)
@@jonathan-th4gr Merci. I'm really looking forward to yet another visit to one of my favorite cities in the world.
Awesome job Lucia a drop a like for you
thanks for watching :)
No problem
It's going to be a feast of diversity 🎪🙏bon chance ☘️
Merci Lucile :) how can I get that interactive map? 8:00 I hope you let me know the link.
Yes I have the same quesiton.
Hi, great video. I assume your video is monetised, in which case, may I ask how you got permission to film the Olympic rings and include them in your footage? My daughter is going to the Paralympics to do a documentary about one of the athletes, and it was made clear to the film crew that they are not allowed to include the rings in any of their shots. Thanks.
Waouh, Paris change beaucoup ! Les aménagements me plaisent beaucoup !
Oui c’est rapide !
Je viendrai peut-être Paris après les JO
Elle est vraiment tres belle Lucile, sans maquillage 💯🙏🏿❤
I will come to visit Paris right after the Olympic game on day 12 do you think that will be any restrictions since I have my car with me
Yes!! You should absolutely type « le monde interactive map of Paris restrictions » on google if you are coming by car!
@@LucileHRthank you for your reply 😊
Merci Lucile
Je viens a Paris pour les JO.
Pourquoi recommendes-tu d'acheter les billets de metro a l'avance ?
Est-ce que cela va couter moins cher ?
Corrige mon francais. s'il te plait :)
Rog
I will come on 30th . Any recomandations where to stay?
Will you need a pass or the QR code from Aug 11 - Aug 28? That between the dates of the Olympics & Paralympic games
If London with Johnson as Mayor can mount a successful Olympics then Paris can definitely do so! (I suspect Johnson hindered more than helped!!)
Thank you. Are their enough seating in Catholic Churches for all of the visitors to attend holy mass on sunday or during the week?
I was just in Paris in June and it was so fucking unpleasant with all the scaffolding and construction. Awful.
…….avoiding Paris until late May 2025. 🤷🏼♂️🤔
Imgoing to beach volleyball
Do you know where cauldron will be
Not going now with all the madness and riots...good luck
was in your city last month...between Olympics prep and Biden's visit, roads were a mess
Hello Paris, I wish France move to final match for Euro 2024 ❤
France revived the Olympic Games in 1894, so people must have an affinity for it. In the original Greek Olympic Games the athletes ran naked, apparently for more speed. There were no women present.
Why are you squeezing a small mouse in your hand 😂
🌹🫶❤️🌴🛣
Is the Metro fare going to triple as reported?
it was reported to be doubled
You can’t swim in the Seine because Under Paris 🙂↕️
Did You have a permanent contract with Landlord, he can not kick You out of the apartment, it is illegal.
A + V + C = 26
Waste of money tax payers inflation
"Paris" and "ready" just don't fit together. Paris is now ready for the 1924 olympic games
Quick answer to video title: No
Sorry, lost all interest in televised sport once the extent of corruption that has been exposed from player (competitor) to management, in the past 10 years. After they allowed professional athletes to compete in the olympics that was the end for me. Also, some of the events that are now part of this circus, who cares!! Most spectators/viewers would not know anything about the sport & once the games are over, the less attractive sports go back to being watched by a mere handful of people.
Uhhh…….. maybe trying learning
@@thatdude7261 Is your comment supposed to make any sense???? because it doesn't...
How dare people be allowed to earn a living playing sports - the horror!
Paris is not ready for the Olympics Lucile. Too much political turmoil and madness
