I was watching your videos for weeks because I planned to come to Paris. And today just randomly as I was in the metro I saw you on the street filming. I recognize you. Paris is small. 😆
If Jay will permit me a few extra details! Inside the lovely Gare de Lyon is the Galérie des Fresques (the Fresco Gallery) which contains some stunning paintings of the destinations served from the train station. The Gare de Lyon was the Paris terminus of the Paris, Lyon, Mediterranean railway (before nationalisation) - you get the picture - some of most glorious railway destinations in France wonderfully illustrated on the walls of the Galérie - well worth popping in. Bang opposite the station is the restaurant L'Européen with its hall of mirrors interior somewhere between Art Nouveau and Art Déco - it's quite the Parisian dining experience especially if you like seafood (try the oysters).
When you were on top of the old train station line (?) the trees were blowing and it felt like you would get a cooling rain... (that's what it does here right before it rains). I love that I could see the tops of the buildings (so beautiful!), some with enviable terraces, ooh la la sighhh. Liked the shops underneath the arches beneath also. I am still fascinated by the "Wallace fountains" you mentioned before in another arrondissement, how would I have ever found out about that without your vlog? Reading outside in a beautiful spot, priceless- in Paris, triple priceless :) I will not be surprised a bit to find out someday that you own the top floor of beautiful buildings in Paris. Like everyone that lands here, I am loving this 20/20 series, Merci beaucoup!
Jay I absolutely adore your channel and content- it is so calming, peaceful and beautiful. Please never stop! You deserve so many more subscribers you’re killin it my man💛
Man, how thrilled i was to watch your video of the 12th district. And especially the parkway similar to that in New York. I was hooked when you mentioned books as you walked thru’ that bamboo alley! I’m off to Paris next spring so your videos will be high on my list to watch and take notes of from now. I have actually been to Paris 14 times! Since 1982. Yes, ‘82. But I still have not had enough of it and enjoy seeing what others have come to see and show what I have never seen. Paris, like New York, London and any other large cosmo city well is worth returning to again and again. Thanks for sharing your 20 Aronndisments. I will be scrutinizing them for tips of where to go and what to see! Merci from a Londoner living in Europe and forever travelling.
So it seems while we were in France recently we missed you everywhere you were just about by a day while doing your 20 in 20. We also just went to Lyon - I'm sure you have been already - but if not - definitely visit The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière. It was awesome. And that view of the city from there was pretty great, too.
Jay! I saw a comment on a past 20in20 video lauding your updated spring 2019 guide. The version I have is the fall 2018 guide. Is there some way to get the updated version (assuming it exists) or do I need to purchase the guide again?
Hey Sam! I did indeed. I sent out an update link for everyone who purchased it previously to download it for free, which expired after a week - I'm guessing that you didn't tick the box to receive product updates which is unfortunate. If you want to email me through the account you used to order it I can try to get your download limit reset for another week (important to do that there because odds are good I'll never see this comment again the way UA-cam studio works).
Me: “I don’t think I spent much time in the 12th” Watches video. Me: “Oh riiiight, that’s where _____ is.” Realizes I spent more time in the 12th than I thought. 😆
Bonjour Jay. Je suis curieux de ce que tu vas nous faire découvrir demain dans le 13eme. Chinatown, le nouveau quartier Rive Gauche, la Butte aux Cailles ? J'adore la butte aux cailles et son esprit village. Toi qui aime bien la bonne cuisine, je te recommande Chez Gladines, 30 Rue des cinq Diamants. C'est Basque et c'est bon ! à demain ami virtuel.
Can you imagine living there!!! No thanks!!! It’s a nice arrondissement not my favourite though ....see you tomorrow xx Kerrin and Leia xx and the train Bleu is fabulous though!!!
Jay, that man who appears at the very beginning of your videos is becoming very unhinged lately but I’m glad he appears to be meditating on love. He seems to believe some people become allergic to it, to love. Do you see him too? Or is it just me? 😆
Thanks a lot for this video… I ll be exploring 12ve first time ever soon solo, and wonder what route/street/plan should I follow from say Cours de Vincennes toward say centre ville/Notre Dame? By the way, those arches remind me of Old Town Edinburgh but only with less shops in the arches
Hello attention " la galerie des fresques" is under construction impossible to see in the moment in railway station gare de Lyon. Pass to boulangerie maison menier beside railway station boulevard diderot good sandwich good cookies good price
Bonjour Jay ! J'ai un question mais c'est pas pertinent de votre vidéo ... C'est vrai que beaucoup (ou un peu) des Français parlent l'anglais ? Merci bien et j'adore vos vidéos ! Ciao.
The Picpus Cemetery is supposed to be cool, and my personal favorite of the 12th le Marché d'Aligre and all the food stores around it. And as for a cool old fashioned restaurant try Le Charolais. It's going to be my hood, at least for the first month.
General de Lafayette is buried there. Wikipedia : The cemetery is of particular interest to American visitors as it also holds the tomb of the Marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834), over which an American flag is always present. Every Fourth of July, members of the DAR, the Society of the Cincinnati and U.S. embassy officials gather at Lafayette's tomb for a celebration.
Please tell me that wasn't you we saw near Les Halles on your wheel today...otherwise, there is another man, with an orange beard, ball cap and shades running around on a wheel...
They will be watching The 20 for years. It’s a perfect tool for people planning a visit
Thanks! =D

It is not a big city haha - hope you're having a great time!
"Are you allergic to love?" 😂 I nearly spat out the water I was drinking!
That train station looked so beautiful! Loving the 20 in 20, enjoying the full tour of Paris and what each arrondissement offers.
Thanks! It's been fun for me too =)
If Jay will permit me a few extra details!

Thanks Paul! I am going to read more of this :)
😁👍👍
I can't stop admiring beautiful architecture ! The park is amazing! Merci 🙂
=D
I absolutely love the apartments at the top of the buildings.
Me too =)
“Are you allergic to love???
...just an open question.”
Laughed in public from that. :)
😁👍
How to the intros work? Do you just pre-record a bunch of random funny lines?@@JaySwanson
I love the music and enjoy the sunshine
Thanks!

That would be a really weird sighting
I'm feeling that French gansta rap beat. Thought I was about to watch a French action movie 😂
=D
not the first tie I have said this but great video and I'm loving 20 in 20
Happy to be able to share them =D
Jay I absolutely adore your channel and content- it is so calming, peaceful and beautiful. Please never stop! You deserve so many more subscribers you’re killin it my man💛

Yeeaahh finally, I've seen that place with lots of shops ateliers and cafes on french tv shows but never understood where its is exactly THNX ))
Happy to help =)

Covered in hives right now because yes, I'm allergic to love - but crazy about this vlog set! Another good one. Can't wait for the Coulée Verte
Thanks! =D

Can't wait to go see it in person!
I am going to be in Paris on the 13th for a week. I have been following you everyday. This is great! I will buy you your morning croissant. Thanks!
Hope you have a great time! =D
In the 12ième, there's also the Bois de Vincennes (if you like biking), the zoo and the "parc floral" (I like it very much in spring).
For sure!
Yay, Jay. My first croissant in Paris, out of 4 visits, is from Maison Landemaine in Place de la Republique. Very tasty. I love Paris!!
Happy you enjoyed it! =D
Thanks Jay. Staying in the 12th next week.
You're welcome!

I just got back from a trip to Lyon and Toulouse! I found one of the 48 Invaders in Lyon
Nice! I need to go find some asap
Love this! :)
Thanks! =D
Me: “I don’t think I spent much time in the 12th”
Watches video.

Haha - it's a stealthy one

Chez Gladines c'est un des que je n'ai jamais essayer mais j'ai pleins amis qui l'aime!
J'adore le 12ème
J’ adore Jay and Pushan! See you tomorrow.
=D
Can you imagine living there!!! No thanks!!! It’s a nice arrondissement not my favourite though ....see you tomorrow xx Kerrin and Leia xx and the train Bleu is fabulous though!!!
Not for me either ;)
Could you explain why ?
Nice one. Are you planning some visits in the Grand Paris ?
Jay, that man who appears at the very beginning of your videos is becoming very unhinged lately but I’m glad he appears to be meditating on love. He seems to believe some people become allergic to it, to love. Do you see him too? Or is it just me? 😆
He's got issues ;)
Hope you are getting in your wheel time. I do at least 3 times a day
;)
Thanks a lot for this video… I ll be exploring 12ve first time ever soon solo, and wonder what route/street/plan should I follow from say Cours de Vincennes toward say centre ville/Notre Dame? By the way, those arches remind me of Old Town Edinburgh but only with less shops in the arches
Hello attention " la galerie des fresques" is under construction impossible to see in the moment in railway station gare de Lyon.
Pass to boulangerie maison menier beside railway station boulevard diderot good sandwich good cookies good price
👍👍
Bonjour Jay ! J'ai un question mais c'est pas pertinent de votre vidéo ... C'est vrai que beaucoup (ou un peu) des Français parlent l'anglais ? Merci bien et j'adore vos vidéos ! Ciao.
Oui 👍
you forgot that bois de vincennes is part of the 12th^^
I mentioned it - but I think I jumbled it a bit ;)
A bit short for me on info..was looking for info on Bercy Village..
The Picpus Cemetery is supposed to be cool, and my personal favorite of the 12th le Marché d'Aligre and all the food stores around it. And as for a cool old fashioned restaurant try Le Charolais. It's going to be my hood, at least for the first month.
There's so much to see! =D

"No space invaders. What the heck?!"
They're all over - but I already had most of the ones we went by =)
always hungry in Paris
Time to eat more pastries then ;D
Holy shit they had Chicago Goose Island ipa in that restaurant???
Yerp!
Just cats. *sneezes
😂
What’s happening at the chateau? Water closet?
Mysteries to be reveald ;D
Quite frankly, I prefer less hairy (facial hair, not head hair) companions for your strolls like today. But yeah, I guess Puxan is ok 😄
He needs to watch your shaving videos ;D
@@JaySwanson 😂definitively
Where are the gang neighborhoods i want to avoid in Paris?
Please tell me that wasn't you we saw near Les Halles on your wheel today...otherwise, there is another man, with an orange beard, ball cap and shades running around on a wheel...
Definitely not me
@@JaySwanson oh, bummer. Was hoping I could claim to have seen you. That also means you have a doppelganger running about town!
DISLIKE. 👎👎👎👎👎
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment 😁👍
