    Love your videos, for us it's a brief escape to relive our previous trips to Paris. Including French and English means that I, being French, and my wife, being English speaking, can both enjoy your videos. Well done!

    Brasserie is beautiful. Delicious...menu.
    Oysters with chilli tobasco and black pepper! Try it.
    Alsace wine would have been a super accompaniment.
    This was awesome!
    I believe you will move to Paris this year! 🎉 The universe will fulfill your wish. 🍷Merci .

      @ I will be visiting Paris this May. It will be my first trip to Europe. As a 57 year old female solo traveler, your videos have been great. My plan is to “get lost in Paris” as you said. I’m very excited. Si jamais tu reviens au Canada et que tu visites le Québec, il me fera plaisir de te faire quelques suggestions de choses à visiter.

    I love your videos, especially to see your cute dog....she's adorable. You often ask if we would like to see a video about .............(filll in the blank). I say make a video about whatever interests you, all the neighborhoods, the history (both ancient and modern), art (old & new), architecture....I'm all for it. Keep going, I hope this channel builds.

    Thank you for the lovely video! You are a delight to watch. I found your channel via French Guy Theo’s channel and so glad I did. Are you ever intimidated to dine alone? Is Paris a single diner friendly city? Thank you 😊 edit: I didn’t realize you had a dining partner in this video until the dessert so my apologies…but still would love to know if it’s possible to visit as a single diner 😊

    This was absolutely delightful! I haven't explored the Bastille area before, so I really enjoyed 'virtually' walking around with you. Did you say you were invited to Brasserie Bofinger? Lucky lady! Wow! What a meal. All the Alsacienne classics looked delicious. Les plats looked really big too. I am like you and enjoy desserts very much. I hope you had some company (aside from Mei Mei - sp?) to share the food with. I look forward to your next neighborhood video. Merci, Elle!

I hope this doesn’t seem like an odd request, but I would love to see how you put on your cat eye make-up! Tell me the brand of the black eyeliner you use and do a short tutorial! I can never do it correctly! Wendy from Tucson, Arizona
