A little recap:
1st arrondissement: The tourist heart of Paris with the Louvre. Despite its recent makeover, it’s a bit trashy. Don’t miss the Palais Royal.
2nd arrondissement: Young and lively, especially around Rue Montorgueil. For a quieter experience, visit the elegant Galerie Vivienne.
3rd & 4th arrondissements (which make up the Marais): A busy mix of locals and tourists, with historic Jewish and gay communities. Skip Place des Vosges and explore the charming streets nearby.
5th arrondissement: The Latin Quarter, home to the Sorbonne and the Panthéon. Avoid the touristy west and head east to Place de la Contrescarpe, les Arènes de Lutèce and for tea at the Mosque.
6th arrondissement: Picture-perfect Paris with Jardin de Luxembourg and Café de Flore. Wander the quaint streets between Boulevard Saint-Germain and the river.
7th arrondissement: Known for the Eiffel Tower and Musée d'Orsay. Discover the quieter Musée Rodin and lively Rue Cler.
8th arrondissement: Touristy Champs-Elysées and Arc de Triomphe. Locals prefer the beautiful Petit Palais and Pont Alexandre III.
9th arrondissement: Famous for the Opéra and Galeries Lafayette. For a more local vibe, visit the northern Rue des Martyrs.
10th arrondissement: Known for Canal Saint-Martin. Avoid Gare du Nord but explore the vibrant Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis.
11th arrondissement: My favorite! Full of hipster gems and lively streets like Rue Oberkampf. Great for bars and bistros.
12th arrondissement: Often overlooked, but check out Marché d'Aligre and the Coulée verte bike path.
13th arrondissement: A mix of old and new, with Station F and the national library. Enjoy the péniche bars along the river.
14th arrondissement: Residential with local cafés and parks. Visit the Catacombes and the delightful southern parks.
15th arrondissement: Safe and low-key, with good accommodation options. Check out Le Café du Commerce and the bridge featured in Inception.
16th arrondissement: Known for Eiffel Tower views and Bois de Boulogne. Wealthy and residential with affordable back street cafés.
17th arrondissement: Divided between old-world wealth and lively Batignolles. Perfect for family brunches.
18th arrondissement: Home to Sacré-Coeur and Montmartre. Explore beyond the tourist traps to find local color.
19th arrondissement: Features the best park in Paris, Les Buttes-Chaumont, and a vibrant canal scene. Young and creative.
20th arrondissement: Famous for Père-Lachaise Cemetery. Discover the vibrant streets around Rue de Belleville.

Best Paris video I've seen on here, such great quality
Now, not only is that a comment that lifts my spirits for the recognition it gives -- but coming from someone who has 107K subscribers himself and obviously knows a lot more about this thing called UA-cam than I, it is positively awesome! Thank you Part Time Larry. Your comment, very sincerely, means a lot.
Oh yes, very good camera work as well. Not a second you wanna miss.
This is the most detailed video ive seen about Paris i had no idea how massive and diverse this city was i cant wait to visit someday
From the USA. This is the best video I have seen on explaining the landscape of Paris. Thank you.
Wow, thanks, that is high praise indeed. Yes, I wanted to give just an overview of Paris. Of course the city is a lot more complex and nuanced than that. But having one video to refer to with an idea of each arrondissement I thought would be helpful.
Better than any tourist book ive come across, wonderful.
Oh, there was so much more I could have said about Paris, so many more little neighborhoods within districts that deserve to be seen. But I wasn't going to run around and do a 3-hour video! Just stay tuned and hopefully I'll put out future videos on other, specific areas....
I went to Paris for the first time last year, and I was treated so kindly even though mon français se limite à bonjour et merci. The French aren't rude like people say. I'm coming back again this July. I'm trying to learn more French in the meantime. This was a really good video.
Thanks so much. As for the supposed rudeness of the French - it's a myth as every vlogger and visitor in Paris will tell you. Paris is a big city, full of working people getting on with their lives, so there's no red carpet treatment for the millions of tourists who drop in. But it's by no means rude. One day I'll try to track down where that misrepresentation came from... (Oh, and if in French you're already saying que votre français *se limite à* I suspect your grasp of French is better than you're letting on)
Great overview of the 20 arrondissements. Staying in the 11th (Rue Trousseau) for 3 days in early July. Can't wait.
My favourite arrondissement ! And you'll be near rue de Faidherbe, and Charenton (and maybe book at Bistro Paul Bert around 2 weeks ahead). You'll love it.
@@amusingaida Merci beaucoup Aida! I will definitely check out those recommendations.
Yes, a fantastic presenter with fantastic production.
Thank you! Lovely to hear all the effort paid off!
That’s all so amazing… I didn’t know all those ‘secret’ things about Paris! Thanks… if I ever get to go, now I’ll know where to go!
And I barely got to scratch the surface! Paris is an alive city with so many layers and things to see. I'm happy I was able to show you some unexpected aspects of it, for whenever you make the trip.
The articulacy, video content, and editing in your videos are all up to the level of a TV production. -Los Angeles
Wow, now that is one helluva compliment! Thank you! (Really though, UA-cam is a steep learning curve, and I feel I still have a long way to go....)
Beautiful city, beautiful tour guide. What's not to love?
Paris grabs everyone I think
Lovely funny! So fun, breezy, and informative. Brava!
Thanks Hemingway! I figured it was about time to do this one, which I planned to do ages ago. Having the sun and springtime weather really helped to show Paris at its best.
Perfect local tips from a Parisienne. Merci !
Thanks Philip. I was delighted to do this one, and have soooo many ideas for more videos on living in Paris.
I love the low key sarcasm in your videos. You go some place for the food, and have steak tartare...
I actually love tartare when it's well-prepared. It's a good gauge for me to see how good a restaurant is.
Another lovely video, as always❤
Thanks! It was a big production this one, so I'm really glad you liked it.
@@amusingaida I can’t even imagine how much work it took, but the result is amazing. Well done👌
#6...Jardin de Luxembourg is my favorite garden. #8/9...beauty and buying, #19...vibrant and pretty, #20...music and memories. Something lovely and worthwhile at...#1-20! Great video, clever cinematography...❤❤❤❤
Hi Carol! I'm glad I hit some of your favorites in that bumper video. And that you noticed the camerawork in every arrondissement!
Team15th - we're not boring! :)
I knew -- I just knew! -- that someone from the 15th would jump in. Look, I like the 15th, and Le Café du Commerce is delightful (and Rue des Entrepreneurs, and le Parc André Citroën and some ephemeral bar I went to on the river once -- and my best friend lives in the 15th)... but I still find the east of Paris much more lively. (C'mon, admit it: you like the east too?)
@@amusingaida But of course! :)
I like them all!
That's a lot to pack in! But if you really think back to your last trip to Paris, was there a neighborhood where you really felt comfortable, that brought a smile to your face?
Well another wonderful video
From you i love it .
Paris is amaizing .
Thanks 🌟
Sending you a big hug from
Utah 🌟💚✨️
Hi Dolores -- I'm delighted you like it! And, yes, I agree: even after all these years, Paris is amazing.
My condolences on your dog. Looking forward to many more of your videos!
Thanks. On both counts.
I LOVE how creative this video is! I visited Paris for the first time last year, and this year I am going back with my sister. This helps a lot when it comes to selecting a hotel. Thank you for a very informative and entertaining Vlog🙂
Hi Cathy, I'm really happy it gave you an overview of the city (though colored by my personal opinions of course). I hope the end message you take away is that every arrondissement has something worthwhile.... and the city's so compact you'll be good just about wherever you get a hotel.
I love this! Honest information ❤ just what I was looking for. Thank you!
Great! So glad it was helpful to you. Any arrondissement in particular got your attention?
Pili Pili for LIFE. Great seeing David on here! Incredible guy and his bar and the local community in the 11th are worth a visit to Paris anytime.
Ha! A fellow David fan... Cheers to that!
Lovely video, I cannot wait to see your future videos. Literally cannot, as I will be in Paris next week, so I am rewatching the best of Aida. Ready to explore (and perhaps get lost)!
Great! You'll be in Paris to see it all shiny and done up ahead of the Olympics. It's looking better in many areas. And do just take whatever street takes your fancy -- it'll probably lead somewhere interesting.
The most comprehensive tour of Paris I've ever seen. Thanks so much !!!
Hi Gino and thanks -- I'm very glad it brought some useful information, and hopefully in a fun way.
Really enjoyed this! Your style of presentation is excellent. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated to hear them!
...excellent overview...so succinct and charming...and thanks for sharing your priceless local tips...
You appreciated it? That's great to hear! Thank you for the compliments. Seeing all 20 arrondissements and trying to give you a flavor of each one, all in one video, was a real feat, I can tell you.
Walking! Being a flaneur. My favorite way to see Paris. Thanks for a great vid! 🤙🏽
Absolutely! A good pair of shoes, a healthy curiousity, and all of Paris is yours...
200 cafes and just 875 smiles and grins of narrator!
Yes, obviously the world needs fewer smiles
Excelente la calidad del video, edicion, sonido e informaciones. Reserve un arbnb en Les Marais por diez dias a mediados de junio y todos los datos me van a ser muy utiles. Suerte con el canal de You tube
Muchas gracias Gerardo! Y estaras en Paris al buen momento, con un tiempo maravilloso para ver la ciudad antes de los Juegos olimpicos. Y ademas en Le Marais! Que suerte!
Coming from Los Angeles California, I am worried about which area has the most violent crime. Thank you. This was a good introduction
Hi SR, I'm happy to report that Paris, and much of Europe in fact, has nothing like the violent crime you might hear about in LA or other US cities. If you're from LA, I'd say no area should be avoided - you'll be more than prepared for even the worst little zones that are often only a couple of streets deep (on Paris' periphery to the north, near the railway line, and a bit in the northeast but in far-off areas you will have no reason to go to). Pickpockets and street scams are the worst you'll encounter, and they mainly just try for the more innocent variety of tourist. An Angelino should have no problems seeing them a mile off. So: enjoy all of Paris with a light heart!
❤❤❤oh my good , I love it , so easy to understand. Thank you
I'm really happy to hear that. I know each arrondissement was only up for a short time, but I hope I got the overview of each one right.
This is the most interesting and entertaining Paris video I have seen in a long time. Chock full of great off the grid places that I will make a point of checking out on my next visit.
Thanks for the kind words. I really threw myself into covering all of Paris for this one, so you'll have it all in one video. And I've barely scratched the surface of off-grid places.
Merci beaucoup ❤ fun, informative and enjoyable video of Paris.
Thanks. I really threw a lot of effort into it, so I'm happy to hear it hit the spot
Congratulaciones and thank you ! This is a fabulous video about the neighborhoods of Paris. I definitely think you should be in a perfume ad as a model and or its creative director. You are very very talented . I was lucky enough to visit Paris and my new friends living in La Marais (?) . It was lovely. They lived just off a little park and in walking distance to small markets, restaurants and other businesses. It was enchanting and busy. In any event I loved your work and I am so glad to have found your channel. Looking forward to more of them. I am getting a bit older and I have a favor to ask. When you side in titles on the lower right please make them stay there a bit longer. They were in and out 🎉too fast for me. 😊❤❤❤ If I was ever coming back to Paris I’d love to spend a day with you just walking around and stopping at cafes and restaurants on the way. Please keep making your videos !!!
Thank you, sincerely, for taking the time to write out your comments and thoughts on the video. It means a lot to me to read detailed comments, and encourages me to keep making videos I hope you'll enjoy. I don't know if I'll make the perfume ad roster (quite often they like the cinema actress du jour). But how lucky were you to stay in the Marais with your friends? Ideally located! And yes, I'm realising my hyperspeed editng on the location titles might have been a little too swift. Next time I'll make sure to hold them up for longer. Thanks again for watching, and for pointing that out.
This is most in depth guide i've seen about Paris i've shocked on how massive and diverse this city is i cant wait to visit someday ❤
Paris is truly shocking - shockingly fascinating, I find. Follow your dream to visit!
J'adore! my favorite UA-cam channel, I start my mornings with you (always!)
Wow, that's a big honor -- and a whip crack for me to get more videos out there!
Aida is my dream guide, as Paris is my dream city. I was in Paris for six months during a romantic mistake, but Paris married me, secretly, and I can never leave her in my dreams.
Paris and romance seem forever entwined. And that runs deep. A City Memory.
Best Paris tour guide, J'adore Paris, and I've been tens of times Bises
Thank you! And it's fascinating to hear you've been so many times. I'd like to make my videos better for people who like Paris so much they keep returning, maybe show some more of the local life we live here. Can I ask: now that you've done all the bucket list sites and are starting to have regular places you return to, what sort of experience are you looking for each time you return to Paris?
👍 très sympa comme reportage : vivant , intéressant et sans prétention : j'aime beaucoup !
Merci, sincèrement, ça me touche énormément - et m'encourage d'en faire davantage !
Thank you Aida for your great idea…
Thanks Myriam
Wow, love this!! I stayed at the 11th Arr and indeed I loved it. My hotel is between two Metro stations so that’s a plus!
Good choice of arrondissement. Did you feel any differences in that neighborhood compared to others you saw?
@@amusingaida I actually did. It made me feel that I'm part of the neighborhood...like I "live "there! :-) It's homey yet young, funky, vibrant kinda vibe. Love the cafes and bars, and the farmers market on weekends and can easily swing by the "tourist" spots. I wish I've seen this before last month. :-) I love your video.. make some more!
Merci pour la video fantastique!
Merci de l'avoir visionnée et pour la réponse
magnifique et merci beaucoup
Merci à vous !
Great overview.
Many thanks!
Je suis tombé sur une de vos vidéos en flânant sur youtube, elle m'a de suite donné envie d'aller voir s'il y en avait d'autres. Beaucoup de qualité dans votre travail, montage, rythme, un humour certain qui englobe un "certain humour" et surtout une admosphère propre à chacune d'entre elles. Cela change des platitudes que l'on rencontre habituellement. Bravo. Du coup, je me suis abonné, ce qui est extrêmement rare dans mon cas.
Bien cordialement
C'est un commentaire qui me touche énormément, d'autant plus que c'est rare pour vous de vous abonner aux chaînes ! Et que vous appréciez mes efforts de ne pas suivre les "modèles" de vidéos qui préconisent une présentation souvent anodine afin d'attirer un maximum de spectateurs, ça m'inspire de continuer avec mon style de production. Merci !
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection *luxdups* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
That's a specific Paris memory
Hi again Aida. It''s Jenny from Adelaide here (still waiting for the big reveal about your Aussie background and wanting a leaf out of your aunties's book so I can live half my life on a peniche). Anyway. This is brilliant . Your cinematography and editing and everything is brilliant. It must have taken ages. I love it I'm just worried about all the work you are doing without enough people seeing it. Perhaps if you just drop a few short (and far less complex) videos more regularly it can drum up your subscriber count a. bit. This is said only with the best of intentions. Perhaps the videos could just be about your creative thinking process with regard to making the next one.
Hi Jenny! I'm actually really happy you're back to see a video that isn't about Oz. Look, in terms of subscriber numbers, I don't think about all that too much. I have other, non-UA-camy things happening in my life that mean I can't consistently post videos (I don't think I'll ever be a pro vlogger or anything like that). I just enjoy doing productions about topics that interest me and hopefully people like you. I think being an almost undiscovered videomaker gives me a lot of freedom to create, in different directions, which I really enjoy. Content treadmills really aren't my thing. But keep checking back from time to time; I have a long list of what I think will be very interesting videos that I want to make. Sometime.
I’ve been to Paris many times, 99% is for work but I love the different characters of arrondissements! Can’t wait to be there in a week at the 11e! Great video love hearing from the locals. Xo
You'll love the 11th. You can pretty much walk in any direction in the 11th and you'll find something worthwhile. And I'm glad my little local perspective can bring some value to your next trip.
@@amusingaida thank you!! I meant to say I’ve stayed at the 11e and loved it. But this time I’ll be in the 19e. 😺
@@winromeo Ah, the 19th. That arrondissement kind of splits opinions. It's true that the northern part of the neighborhood might be a bit bleak at times, but like many Parisians I really love the canal area and the park. On the plus side, it really feels like you're in a Paris for Parisians there. On the minus side it does lack some of the glamor and elegance that many people want to see in Paris.
Love it. Hoping to see more areas this trip. Went for the 1st time last year, stay in St. Germain des Prés. Going back and staying in the 16th this time, closer to Roland Garros which I am going to. Definitely going to check some of your suggestions out. Merci.
You'll be very close to the Bois de Boulogne. If you get a chance, go see the Bagatelle parc inside the Bois. One of my favorite spots!
Thanks, I am planning to go there and hopefully around Canal St Martin area too. Missed it last year, ran out of time.
@@sydneymommy yep, that's always very popular in the warmer months
I watch youtube frwnch content. Almost geek... this is the mielliure video j'avais vu. Best
That's a lovely, very touching comment. Thank you! I feel like all the hard work that went into this one is being recognised.
You do love to communicate with all of your audience from every corner of the world, don't you. Keep up your good products🎉🎉 We already bought tickets from LA to paris right after the Olympics.
Yes, I really do enjoy chatting with people the world over! I've had the opportunity to live in very different countries, and I find the different perspectives very interesting. Here's cheers to your next Paris visit after the Games -- you should see a shiny, buzzing city.
Mon arrondissement preferable, c'est Le Marais. J'aime cette video et aussi votre humour. Je suis ausi tres impressionee par votre accent parisien. Merci pour une video interessante.
Le Marais se situe à la tête pour beaucoup de gens, je pense, et avec raison. En effet, il reste charmant et rempli de lieux à voir. Un bon choix ! Et pour mon accent - j'espère rester compréhensible en anglais quand même ? Je reviendrai avec une autre vidéo sur Paris quand je pourrai !
Oh, what a great video. Brings back so many good memories. I wonder if the nightclub behind the Shakespeare and Company bookstore is still there. a little bar behind that block and downstairs - this little cabaret with low ceilings that didn’t really get lively till midnight.
Aux Trois Mailletz? Yes it's still there -- but I haven't been to that one in ages. Nearby also is a cinema that shows the Rocky Horror Picture Show every Friday night, with audience participation. Also fun...
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Oh wow. That's a super thanks thingy, right? I've never had one of those before. A BIG thank you! I'll think of you the next coffee I get.
I worked in the 1, 8, 9, and 14 for several years but lived in Versailles!!!
All good choices. And though I don't know Versailles (the town) that well, I've been a few times and it seems classically bourgeois, in a nice way. I don't envy you RER commutes though!
@@amusingaida I went by car could park underground garage in company la vie est belle ! Versailles is the best town to live but not there anymore now in Bretagne coastal area even better lol!
@fp2374 Bretagne ! Veinard.e !
@@amusingaida hahaha moi aussi chanceau ! Merci
What an insightful, delightful essay! My last few trips to Paris have been to walk/learn the non-touristy neighborhoods. The dogs in the 16th rock! Where’s your Fido? Where can we find more cats…or will you take us to Istanbul?❤
Your comment is a brilliant encouragement to do more videos. And I have plans for so many more, to really peel some layers back from this, the city I live in. As for my dog... well, very, very, very sadly he is no longer with me.
Je viens de découvrir votre chaîne!!! Ça y est, je m’abonne tout de suite! Moi, j’habite en Haute - Vienne, mais j’adore Paris. (“But then again, who doesn’t!!!”).
En tant que linguiste (je parle plusieurs langues) permettez-moi de vous féliciter, votre anglais est PARFAIT!!! Vos commentaires sont très intéressants. Votre humour est charmant! Vous avez toutes les qualités d’une présentatrice! Bravos!
Petite suggestion/demande:
Une vidéo d’au moins une demi-heure pour chaque arrondissement s.v.p!!!
Et merci d’avance!
Mon arrondissement préféré (raisons personnelles!): le treizième.
Merci, ça me touche, que ma chaîne puisse trouver un public en France aussi (et même si ce n'est pas votre cas, je suis consciente qu'il y a des Français non-résident à Paris qui n'affectionnent pas la capitale). Quant à l'idée de devenir présentatrice... hm, oui, ça m'attire, ça. Peut-être un jour....
Mais pour une vidéo de 30 minutes par arrondissements.... désolée, je ne sais pas si j'en ai la patience de bien faire un tel projet, au moins pas tout de suite. J'ai tellement d'autres idées en tête !
Very informative video. I would have included Place Vendôme as a place to see in 1st arrondissement : it's one of the most beautiful, with world renown jewelry,
13th arrondissement is also interesting for its large parks near Place d'Italie, where to take a breath between tours, with metros in every direction and hotels at reasonable price.
In 14th I like the small theatres and the streets specialised in briton pancakes around rue d'Odessa.
Southern part of 16th is residential, but northern part near Champs-Elysées have the most luxury fashion stores of Paris.
Western part of 17th around place Clichy is definitely crowdy, cheap and kind of downtown (although being uphill).
All excellent suggestions, and I would have loved to have squeezed more in. The Place Vendôme already featured strongly in my "Parisian Life" video (and again in my suggestions for a weekend in Paris) so I thought maybe it was already well-covered. As for the 13th and its parks -- Paris has so many beautiful parks located across the city. I thought about it but just wasn't going to be able to show them all. Just hit a few of the high notes when it comes to city green spaces (not even counting the Bois on either side). And for the 14th, around Edgar Quinet is one of my go-to places as well, yes (but again, choices were made). The 16th is a large arrondissement. I wanted to also throw in the Musée Marmottan and the Maison de Balzac and other things, but I think that will all have to be for a future video (some already featured in my Weekend in Paris one though). The 17th I wanted to show the market in Rue de Lévis and a few other places, but again... 20 arrondissements to show! I can see that you know Paris well, and you also have a lot to share. What are your favorite neighborhoods, out of curiousity? The places you just mentioned?
Greetings. Would love to see a video that’s exclusively about the quiet, obscure streets of Paris where there are absolutely no people at all - you could keep the names secret 😀 That said, loved this video!
That's a great suggestion. I'll think on it (though I must say I find people the most interesting part of a city, but there is something to be said about really artistic images of empty spaces....)
@@amusingaida Hope it happens. But I do understand. And thanks for the reply :)
Great vid Aida, I have some questions; Which arrondissements did/do Amelie, Astrid, Dix percent offices and La Belle Binoche reside? Asking for a friend 😉 Keep up the good work.
You know the answers, I'm sure! (Amélie in the 18th of course, and the café used is plastered with the movie poster; Dix Pour Cent offices, I think in the 1st; and Mme Binoche... don't know that one, but somewhere lovely I'm sure, and quite a few actors like the 20th and I also see them in the 2nd and other parts sometimes)
@@amusingaida Merci beaucoup
The 17th arrondissement..."has great architecture...and the midlife flex you get where money substitutes for creativity." 😂
You noticed 😂
Love your channel-keep up the great work!
@@jasonrhtx Thanks. I have another one coming - but need to make the time to edit it, which always takes 3x more time than expected...
This is amazing. We're visiting Paris on honeymoon early July. Would love more tips!
More tips you shall have! I'll have another video along soon. And congrats on the wedding.
Decent overview of the various areas of Paris, but overwhelmed by narcissism.
You mean my head got in the way of the view?
How long did it take you to walk through all arrs or was this shot across multiple days?
It took days! But luckily I had brilliant springtime sunshine, so it almost felt like a vacation.
Lovely video 👏 I just wish that you would leave the “place labels” up longer, they flash on and off the screen too fast. Thank you
Yeah, I've been told that. Next time I'll try to remember to do that. Sometimes when I edit I get carried away....
When are you going to lead us all astray in Pigalle?! 😅
Pigalle would make for a good video, but I fear it would be wall-to-wall cocktail bars and I might slur my words
T'es disponible pour être guide à Paris sur place (personnellement), ou tu connais quelqu'un ?
Si oui, comment on peux débrouiller les options ?
Bonjour Dale, tu peux me contacter par mail (c'est sur ma page YT)
I'm curious: what's your favorite arrondissement? Where's the part of Paris you like most?
This is all about young this and young that. There are other people in Paris.
@@nedludd7622 There are indeed! But allow me to cater to the young and the young-at heart.
I was also born in the 11th and it’s my favourite too ❤
Although I moved to Montreal a while ago 😊
And how is Montréal? I'd love to see it sometime (I hear good things about its summer jazz festival)
@@amusingaida Montreal has changed since I arrived in 2012. Great city but it is just more crowded than it used to 😉
Honestly, I initially planed to live here for a year and go back to France. But I never went back 😜 That should tell you how much I love it here.
If you can support the harsh and long winters (not an issue for me) lol
But Montreal in the summer is (in my opinion) one of the most amazing place to be !
It is safe, it is big yet very quiet! Beautiful parcs, beautiful and nice people, summers are very warm and sunny, festivals everywhere in the summertime
I suggest you come visit in the summer and I’m sure you will have a great time !
Just don’t come in February you’ll never come back 🤣🤣🤣
@@EliasBac You do a great job of selling it. Except... "harsh and long winters"??? Yeah but no. Je souffre déjà à Paris !
@@amusingaida I don’t think I did a great job selling it tho 😅 there is too much to say 😁
But I definitely encourage you to spend a couple weeks here between June and October !
There is no such thing as a perfect city/country. But Montreal has a very unique vibe you won’t find anywhere else in North America for sure 💙
Oh and about what you said regarding cold weather being hard enough for you in Paris : I get it ! But honestly, I’d chose a -15C Montreal over a 2C in Paris anytime ! Because although it’s cold, it’s usually dry. Paris is warmer but more humid which makes things worst than a dry -15
Un peu comme si tu comparais 2C a Paris et -15 dans une station de ski dans les Alpes 😉
At which arondissement you can find the most chic and/or coolest men and women from all ages for fashion inspirations?
Oh that is sooo subjective. Cool according to whom? Speaking only for me, I'd say the 2nd, 3rd and 11th. But that's a purely personal take. If you want the classical Parisian look of yesteryear, try the 7th and the 16th along Avenue Victor Hugo. If you want urban hipsters, the canal areas in the 10th and 19th are good places to start.
@@amusingaida merci beaucoup
Your signs are much too quick soooooo can you please tell me the first part name of the secret garden….your films are divine! Thank you.
Yeah, fast editing there! That garden is the Square Saint-Gilles du Grand Veneur in the 3rd arrondissement
Thanks very much. I lived in Versailles! XxxAnnie
@@annecampbell9236 Lovely town, Versailles. Very classical.
Which arrondissement does Lenny Kravitz live?
His villa is in the 16th
Alors ma puce. J'ai vu toutes tes videos! De quoi tu parles!
Now I don't know if that is grammatically correct but you get my gist
OK, yes! I do get it! And wow... all the videos? TBH, my early ones make me wince a little bit. I think I'm getting better at this UA-cam stuff, but there is always something to learn....
Alors j'aime bien ta vidéo mais même si il n'est est plus "à la mode" tu aurais pu parler du quartier de la
Butte-aux-Cailles dans le 13eme, non ?
Bonjour et merci ! Et j'en ai parlé si si - assez rapidement comme pour tous les quartiers, c'est vrai. Mais j'ai même titré la Butte-aux-Cailles, que j'adore
@@amusingaida dans ce cas, au temps pour moi, je devais finir mon croissant.....merci d'autant aimer Paris que je l'aime. C'est quand même plus belle ville du monde. Bonne continuation.
@@gilles2533 Merci Gilles, pour tes mots gracieux - et bon dégustation de ton croissant !
Where are the no go zones?
In Fox News' imagination
So 3, 4, 6, 11,19, 20 are the👍?
Depends on what you like, what sort of people you like being around. Truly, every arrondissement has its good things and I feel so lucky to live in Paris because of that. If you're after my personal opinion of what I think best for me, it would be the 11th, 3rd, 10th and 19th. But that's just me, and reflects my interests, and where many of my friends are, and how I like to spend my time. I'm not you. And that's what is great about any big, interesting city: you get to write your own stories in it.
@@amusingaida Merci beaucoup! 👍🤍 It's true. Extremely diverse city. You are lucky. Have a great time. You seem authentic,charming and really free spirit Parisian lady. That's awesome. Au revoir. 🙂
@@smiley9987Free spirit! That's me! Merci pour vos mots et je vous souhaite une belle après-midi / soirée
Why the quick cuts?
A little too quick, maybe? Just trying to fit so much in, within a manageable length for the video.
Paris has 20 arrisdoniments? Pardon my spelling and bad French, and I didn't learn it beyond elementary school in Canada, cest bon, mon ami!
Indeed yes, 20 arrondissements.
@@amusingaida I also heard that Paris has the la defense area with modern high rise skyscrapers with offices and residential buildings located in the west end of this city
@@MrDigitalman78absolutely - and that one is on my (long) list of videos I have planned!
TEAM 9eme !!!!!!!!! you spent too brief time in the 9th ! REALLY !
I know! There's so much more to say about that arrondissement (SoPi, all the restos, the theatres, the Musée de la Vie romantique, the passages....). But I kind of set a limit of around 1 min per arrondissement, otherwise the video would have been 90 minutes long!
One UA-camRS opinion....
Absolutely. I own that. This is my take, and others will have different views.
You couldn't be more patronising if you tried.
Sorry to hear you got that impression. What should I improve?
Yes, a fantastic presenter with fantastic production.
Thank you! Lovely to hear all that effort paid off!
