  • Thank you for being a part of the ride. I'll make a video about the whole story when I get further into the paperwork (there's always more). Be sure to check out the new Paris in my Pocket channel!

    My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa. Paris (yes the one in France) has been my home for years now and I have every intention of staying here for as long as they'll have me. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much. Now I make videos about visiting Paris, traveling in Europe, and try to share what I've learned along the way. I hope you enjoyed what you found.

    The identity card is free Jay and getting a "acte de naissance" from Nantes is pretty straight forward, it takes about 3 days. Bienvenue parmi nous !

      Actually, you dont really need a carte d identité if youve got a passport already. I lost my last identity card around 20 years ago.

    Congrats! We will toast to you tonight on Pizza Friday. We went to a wedding in Scotland in 1989 and it was wonderful! We hardly knew anybody and still had a great time. In the church, my husband told me to look as the officiant and then said, “Mawrage. Mawrage is what bwrings us togever today” I almost busted a gut laughing. Enjoy Scotland and again, congrats.
