  • Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2012 | In Paris, amidst all of its grandeur, the little joys of life are still embraced. In this first of two episodes on Paris, we'll cruise the Seine River, visit Napoleon's tomb, and take in the Louvre. Then we'll feel the pulse of Paris - shopping in village-like neighborhoods, attending church in a grand pipe organ loft, and celebrating the mother of all revolutions with a big, patriotic Bastille Day bang. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #paris

      He does have the special ability in himself to make the places look way better and more beautiful than it is in reality. Or it might be that his voice and the way he narrates is just so calming that he can possibly make places in any corner of earth look like historical sights.

    I like the French cities, castles, chateaus, palaces, cathedrals, monuments, architecture, nature, beaches, culture, literature, writings, books, art, history, music, cinematography and cuisine. Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world; it has gorgeous/beautiful art, architecture, museums, culture, history , cathedrals, castles, palaces, monuments and parks. It has one of the best cuisines in the world: French cuisine. France is a highly developed country, and continuously ranks high in measures of socioeconomic performance. France ranks high in international measures of economic freedom, quality of life, education, and human rights. Paris is the capital of France. Since the 17th century, Paris has been one of the world's major centres of finance, diplomacy, commerce, fashion, gastronomy, science, and arts. France has a highly developed democracy, culture, society, economy, infrastructure, technology, industry and agriculture. I have great respect for the country, culture and history of France. I like France and Paris....Respect for 'France' . Best wishes for France and God bless France.

    I miss living in Paris, Im from Brazil and lived there for six months in 2012 when I was in college. Although I didnt have much money and actually shared a small flat, those were really great times, the excitment of going out and always meeting new people or just experiencing the city and walking around were great.
    Now Im a lawyer and though I have a lot more material conforts, I do miss the freedom of walking around in Parisians streets, I hope someday I manage to live there again, or at least have an apartment where I can go every now and then.

    We were fourtunate enough to visit Paris on our trip of a lifetime with our two children (one almost 4 and the other 14 months).
    We arrived in mid-may 1999. Things certainly have changed. I'm glad we were able to visit when we were able.
    It was the Paris of one's dreams, perfect.
    We saw quite a bit of sites in this video.
    Visited all the famous Paris icons, cozy neighborhood shopping streets, parks, rivers,
    It was glorious.

    Love this show, I look for it whenever I tune in PBS.
    From my knowledge, I have ancestry from Ireland and Germany and maybe Poland, but I've always been endlessly fascinated by French culture.
    Starting with hearing about Napoleon in grade school and learning about The Eifel Tower, to hearing the language expressed in one of the most enigmatic songs of my youth, Lady Marmalade, my interest had been invariably stoked.
    😀
    As an interesting anecdote: when I was in Jr. High, there was this group of popular girls that enrolled at the school towards the end of the year, with one of them standing out, partly for her looks.
    But then, there was this French phase she use to say all the time, "Excusez moi, which stuck in my head, years later. The interesting part is that when the sitcom Friends came out, and I heard Phoebe use that phase, I started wondering if this wasn't the same girl all those years ago.
    She had long blonde hair, and like I mentioned, a total hottie. Lisa Kudrow is the right age, I checked.
    Anyways, that's just one more reason I've been intrigued by this culture.
    So I appreciate you and your travel program, especially those on France.💪🏼😆👍🏼🇫🇷

Seeing Rick stand near Mona Lisa (near the end of this video), I am really envious ... because that painting is always surrounded by crowds, and it would be impossible for any visitor to get that close, and without anybody else in the background of your photo.
    All the work that was put in making this video is very much appreciated.
