  • In this video I fly to Paris France to try Croissants! But the challenge for this video, is that I have to do it all in one day. So I take a flight with Easyjet from Manchester UK to Paris France, try to find the best bakery for Croissants, try, it, and make it back to the airport in time for my flight out of Paris later on in the day with Ryanair. So will I succeed? Or will I fail? Find out in this video!

      No but what you should do is visit some more UK towns, those episodes were great. The so-called worst towns are really not bad at all and don't deserve their reputation. For inspiration try Crap Towns by Sam Jordison and Dn Kieran

    Hi from warm and sunny Los Angeles 🙋‍♀️
    Ugh! I was yelling at my screen "You're underground! Don't go downstairs! You need to go upstairs to get out!"
    Underground aside, your trip was not a failure in my opinion! You kind of accomplished your culinary mission, had a big adventure, and a fabulous, classic meal. Plus the majestic Eiffel Tower thrown in! As for bakeries in Paris, in general, I always look for the super old looking, small boulangeries. You can never go wrong with those!

    Hello my friend lovely to see you as always!! It was a good idea for you to board another train to get out of that 1st station. Croissants & Pain Chocolat - lovely. Pleased you managed to find somewhere nice to have a meal too, the Steak looked absolutely beautiful, I don't like blue cheese so would have given the sauce a miss ! It's a shame you didn't get to sample Croissants where the Policeman recommended, but overall I'd say this trip was a success!! Thank you for sharing, take care 💜 XX

    The sign on the closed boulangerie said it was shut all week. When you said your return flight was from Beauvais, my heart sank, as it’s well-known that airport is in a completely different city, nowhere near Paris, in typical Ryanair fashion! Your coach transfers seemed well enough organised, but I guess not quick? If you can, get some footage in flight or takeoff/landing as it would help the video narrative of the journey and your videos will then attract the travel and aviation blog viewers!

    It was not an epic fail at all! Don’t be harsh! Quality Food is obviously much cheaper in Paris, from the Bakery to a Restaurant, those would've cost much more in the UK for lesser quality & quantity. Yes, getting out of that train station left me claustrophobic and your face looked worried! But the rest of it was a huge success and aren't French Police friendly? 😊 Though I don't know how you can drive in the dark on the motorway for an hour to get home when you're so tired? 😲 Loving these adventure in a day videos! 😎🙏👏

  • @christinez.
    @christinez. 26 днів тому +2

    I wouldn't consider it as a fail! After all it was a success, what a pity, that this special boulangerie was closed but the croissant and the pain au chocolate looked amazing - not to mention the steak. 👍 And you've seen the Tour d' Eiffel - how impressive! 👍👍
    I would still recommend the Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna or you visit the state capital of my home country Styria (Graz) and go for "Steirisches Wurzelfleisch" (don't know how to describe it the best way), or you visit a "Buschenschank". I promise you, you won't be disappointed, no matter what you would choose. Austria and Styria have a lot of gastronomic specialities to offer. 😊

You found what looked like a really good place and you did say that it was the best chocolate croissant you've ever had. The steak and fries also looked yummy and at a really good price. I would rate it as a successful trip.

      ​@@everydayimeating3407 looking forward to discovering what your next day of flights will be, maybe a hamburger in Hamburg? It's an 80 min from Manchester but via ryanair.

    I honestly don’t think there’s a bad croissant in Paris. They have pride in their food. Aussie Bob. 😊

    It seems France is quite good and easy for single day trip....
