I see, thanks.
~Ah bah, oui: en vrai, les Francais aiment bien leur "art macabre" - les Toulousains certes compris ({; > ...!
I thought its a dead body
so called art
I guess they will call anything "art" these days lol..😂😆😁 oh looks like a dead guy Haha no it's ART!
I've lived in Paris long enough to say that you should not sleep in the streets of Paris. Nowadays it's already dangerous in daytime let alone at night!
France is such a beautiful country. It has big mountains, small mountains, hills, plains, southern sea, northern sea, rivers, big cities, modern places, old towns... It has everything. ☺️
Merci pour ton commentaire ❤❤
@James H Many countries have high unemployment in a much worse scenery...
Yeah but the people aren't very nice to Americans
@@davidvilchez2209 They helped you get independence- what more do you want???
My first trip abroad was when I was 18 and I and some friends rented a car and drove from Miami to Montreal and back to New York.
We had less than 5 dollars together at the airport on our way back. Carried some bags for a lady and she took pity on us and paid us dinner.
Good times, before Google Maps, Cell phones, and even credit cards for us. Don`t know how we did it.
Hi Gabriel .This is Debashish Maulick from India.I am a subscriber of your channel for quite a long time.This blog of yours fascinated me to a large extent.I felt as if I am leaving my dreams by traveling along with you.Due to financial constraints it is impossible for me to travel to foreign countries.But still I can follow you around the world through your enchanting video blogs .Thanks God bless you.May you have a beautiful life ahead and entertain us through your videos.
There are beautiful places in India you can travel to. India has deserts, mountains, beaches, historical buildings and so on. It’s not necessary to travel abroad. First explore your own country and importantly save money for travel.
Exactly. India has the most variety of places to experience of any country on Earth.
Gabe you are one of the most interesting persons in the world..Keep on keeping on brother...
We agree. Awesome comment 👏
This is the city I spend my teenage years and young adult life :) I consider it my hometown. The main square is the Capitole. Where you'll find the city hall and the opera house.
Cool.
👍 said before, but I LOVE these wandering around chatting vlogs - unique. thanks for being a you-tuber😉👏
🌸🌷💕 so happy u r in France again. I luv your story from your teenage trip !!!
I lived in Paris till I was 6 years old. Such memories.... the way Paris smells after a hard rain. The sound our shoes made on cobble streets. Bakery fresh bread still hot with a slab of Belgium chocolate omg omg. Please take me with U????? 💕💕💕💕💕🌷🌸
💕🌸💕🦋🦋
Thank you Gabriel! Beautiful! 😊❤ stay safe!
Love these vids where you just wander and share stories of your interesting experiences. Thank you and Blessings Be Gabriel.
Gabriel, you have to have one of the best travelling YT channel. Thanks for taking the time.
Rob Bastien Agreed!
100% agree
I don't normally comment; just like, but today you have a high 5. Superb. Good luck Gabs x
Cool man, thanks for watching. High 5 back atcha.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the Saturday morning walk in France.
airbus airplanes are built there nice video..
You are a proper traveller Gabe! Love your videos 👍
France has so many interesting cities I would like to see : Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Rennes, Dijon, Orleans, Lille, Montpellier, Rouen, Nice, Toulon, Brest, Perpignan and so on.
Metsada007 Not Brest...
I saw your in Malta boss if ur in Bugibba let me know I show you around abit!!
Great, send me an email: gabrieltraveler at gmail and maybe we can meet up. I'm here a few more days.
Hi Gabriel, lot of greetings from Osijek, Croatia. You have to visit Osijek, you will sure stay here :-)
Hi Gabriel! Thanks for the Saturday Morning Tour. Very nice! Take care!😃
Awesome vlog! You are the best travel vlogger! I always look forward for your travel vlogs. I know that you spend lot of time and dedication to make these interesting vlogs!
One of the most famous airplane manufacturer factory located there. Good video for aviation geek thanks!
another enjoyable video from Gab..looking forward to see where you go next
The videos you make, are so awesome, real, down to earth. Great for the common folk. I will be traveling to Greece in October. Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini.... any advice Gabriel..
I've been to all three n many more islands they're mostly the same, make sure you pack water shoes the rocks are slippery on some the beaches! Wear comfy shoes you'll be doing alot of walking! The best way to see Santorini is rent a ATV they're cheap in you can see the whole island in 2 days! I also suggest a catamaran with meal for a day excursion about 150 euros each person, you'll swim in the turquoise waters get a climps of the island n enjoy beautiful sunsets around OIA! You can take a ferry or high power ski boat over to Mykonos for around 40 euros round trip. It's mostly a younger crowd full of night life but supah fun! Athens is really easy to get around taxi's are fairly inexpensive but I ideally for 1.50 euros you can take the trams all day n stop off wherever you want! Oh n no worries just about everyone speaks English! over all easy peasy to get around any greek island. Enjoy, watch your belongings on the beaches, I did have a pair of prescription Pradas stolen from my towel by a group of greeks, so be aware they know who the tourist are!😉 mostly take in all the sights, sounds n taste of beautiful🇬🇷 most importantly have fun!! The Greeks are lovely people n very helpful for the most part!
Thank you so much for the great info!!
Took my daughter to womens world cup in france last summer.....followed our team in montpellier...grenoble and reims....all 3 cities were beautiful with their own unique feel......i think missing paris was a blessing in disguise.....great vlogs
This was a really great video! I enjoyed how you allowed us to clearly see what a typical day in the streets of Toulouse is like (in my opinion, one of the best ones here on YT). Thanks for the upload!
Great, glad to hear it.
Like always a great video... Njoyed ur Airbus capital city (Toulouse) video...
Gaberiel You are the One of the best and oldest UA-cam Traveller vlogger..
Appreciate your hard work..
Happy and safe travels.
~Why, *Gabe* isn't so terribly "old" as all that ({; D ...!
@boris Odor ~Uhhh NO, darling: *you* don't know how to 'take a joke'! The comment to which i'd been replying had said that, "Gabriel (is) one of the best and *oldest* YT (travel vloggers)"; so i was merely making a *joking* rejoinder to that, actually. Perhaps it was you who had 'missed something', in "reading" ?! Ohhhh, ye-who-are-so-very-quick-to-[mis-]judge *({:* | ....
Thanks so much for the walk and talk Gabriel! Great seeing places I have never been to. I really am glad I found your channel and love all that you share with us! 🙆♂️👏👏👏👍👋
Nice vlog Gabriel, i like the walking around and story telling👍
Cool.
Hope you're having a good time!
Very beautiful 😍👍
*'It's very Expensive Paris France'*
*'You didn't mention the costs in Paris'*
Toulouse looks a bit different than other French cities, also there seem to be fewer narrow streets. It just looks like a more modern city with open spaces and broad streets.
this is my first time watching a FRANCE travel video👍 Thanks for sharing
Amazing france vlog gabriel well done 😊😊❤️❤️
When Wolters World and Gabriel simultaneously make a video about Paris
And his video is about scams, so it's a perfect fit.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos we got robbed in Paris this May 2019
@@effie-montreal Damn, sorry to hear it. What happened, pickpocketed?
@@GabrielTravelerVideos We were at the Flix bus station and of course all passengers have to put their own luggage under bus and as we were doing that someone ran off with our carry on bag...all our money some credit cards camera laptop all in there sorry but hate paris and our experience was ruined in that city.the whole time we were there we felt unsafe
@@effie-montreal That really sucks, what a bummer. Blasted thieves.
Excellent video. Beautiful City Toulouse
Awesome Gabriel
hope you had a safe flight!
Yep. :)
How did I know you were heading to Toulouse? lol! It is a nice place! Alot of red bricks! Not the typical French Architecture I expected. More Canadian or English but hey it looks great! Lovely city!
I really enjoyed this video but most of all enjoyed your travel adventures
Gab, gettin rob and pulling through is an eye opening and exciteing( in the worst way) as anyo other travleing experience! :) love this story and the other video you got in Paris where it occurred, Safe Travles Brother
I'm pretty sure you took the Ryanair flight to Malta. As a graduate student from a Uni in Toulouse I tried all of their affordable flights!
Brilliant detective work Watson.
Le Tour in Paris sunday evening!!!
The way you pronounced “9-noof” is very cute.
Very nice vlog!
My nephew is currently in the Chamonix Mountains in France for a summer job exchange through his College. He was able to study abroad in Paris on exchange from January to June, home 2 weeks, and then back to those beautiful mountains as a hiking guide to teens. He will return August 5!
Home to The airbus head quarters!
Thank you for inspiring the world to travel like me!
Great story Gabriel... I have found that when I have to find a place to sleep, the best place is as far away from the main touristic attractions and also make certain no one is seen you getting your place of rest or you will get robbed....glad it worked out...
its not the heat its the humidity. lol i live in Florida. i know humid.
Looks like an ideal place for walking.
Ilive in Europe in cernay France next to Germany Basel Switzerland
Indeed! Much different sleeping on the streets for the adventure from doing it because you're homeless. It's hard keeping the mind open when you're terrified and depressed.
Hi Gabriel how are you. I like your videos very much. 👍✌✌👍
I enjoyed your stroll through🗼I felt like I was right beside you taking in all the sights n sounds! I too travel the 🌎! I just don't vlog but you have me thinking I may have to start 😃 I've been to 50 countries lived in 2, Germany n Turkey which I loved! I've been to all 50 states in US currently living in FLA n I must say without a doubt, everywhere overseas I don't care if it's the poorest of poor! The streets are ALWAYS CLEAN unlike America!!! Not sure if you ever notice that when traveling but I sure do, it shows the quality n pride of the people in those counties👏👏👏 stay safe n I look forward to seeing many more of your insightful videos, your RoCk! 👍🤙✌
I'm thinking that you will possibly be in Malta next or very soon.
Good guess.
Come to Mostar Gabriel! I’m here now :) Always hoping I run into you somewhere while we’re both traveling the world.
Cool town, enjoy.
102 degrees! Have not been anywhere that hot in a long time. Do not miss it a bit, lol. Surprised how big that river is. Never been to Europe, so I will see it through your gopro. Enjoying your recent travels around the mid east and eastern Europe.
i would be like you, i just feel weird talking to a camera while passing people. lol
funny to see you walking in my old city !
*@Turpalele* ~Bah, bien salut, Toulousain *({:* D ...!
alexys q 👌👌
Damn Gabriel you have come a long way I remember when u had 5k followers! Thanks for giving me traveling tips! I used the bus you took from Peru to Macha pichu and the bus driver recognized you when I showed him your video !
Seriously?? Wow, crazy.
Bryan Adams: Summer of 69
Gabriel: Summer of 1990
Haha, pretty much.
~Lovely Toulouse video; interesting stories! Although actually, in Paris, i shouldn't be at all surprised by just about anything which might happen - as would be the case in quite a few, major metropolitan cities of the world, of course...!! Travel safely, **Gabe!*
Very nice city walk thank you, some beautiful scenes there. I can relate to the stolen passport story. I left my backpack with a hotel in Mexico City this past March, as it was too early to check in. So they offered me to leave it behind the reception desk. Thinking it was safe, I then went out for a walk. When I returned, my backpack couldn't be found. After about 20 minutes, they showed me security footage of a guy walking in off the street and taking it. Gone was my passport, cash, tablet, power bank and essentials. So note to other travellers, ask the hotel to lock your bags away, don't just allow them to throw it somewhere, thinking it will be safe.
Damn, that suuuuuucks.
Omg the way you pronounce “nine” in French is too funny 😂 don’t change it lol (French is the main language I speak and mother tongue)
The Farming Crew I’m sure many things you pronounce in English are quite funny :)
@@martinc.720 English is the most spoken language in Europe. French is not. Chances are an English man will have a more broken French than a Frenchman trying to spell out English words.
Martin C. Actually, I’m from Canada so you would be quite disappointed on that aspect btw, but nice try hahaha ;)
@@milton4867 So am I.Doesn't make anything funny here. It's not his first language, of course he is going to have an accent. Go to another province, or to another English-speaking country and locals will notice a difference as soon as you open your mouth too. Have fun always being interrupted to be told "hey you have an accent". Yeah, so?
@@andrei-cosmin.popa85 What's your point? All I'm saying is it's not worth pointing out every little thing someone says that you think sounds "funny". The guy is not going to learn a new language every time he goes somewhere.
Gab in all fairness you can say youre turning 30 years teavelling the world you should dedicate a video to mark the occasion
I did actually: ua-cam.com/video/Pxr_8Jr0rIU/v-deo.html
For a moment I thought that happened to you again now!! I'm glad to see your doing fine. Stay safe and happy trails!!!! 👍😉
Haha, have the same story. I've been slept in Vienna city park at night last summer
Neuf (nine) is pronounced Nef in french, not newf. Just a small correction, best regards.
*@Nikolas Kotis* ~Mais en vrai, les sons precis de la langue francaise sont presqu'impossible a` bien reproduire en l'orthographe anglaise, tu en penses pas...?

@@alexysq2660 Je sais. Je parle Francais un peu. Mais neuf n'est pas nuf!
@@nicolaskottis5245 ~Salut! / Hi! Yes - you're quite right, of course. I'd actually just been trying to express how very difficult it can be to adequately - or, *at all...!* - convey the correct pronunciation of French, using "English language spelling". Just as the reverse is, also, pretty much equally true ({: \ ...!
Slept on benches few times in Japan when missed connecting trains, but surely it is super safe.

Really amazing city Gabriel, thanks for the upload. By the way that is Lebanese restaurant @ 20:30
The moral of the story don’t sheep out on the streets!!!! Lucky they only took that pack... Be safe and sleep inside!!! 😂😂 (unless camping) ...
Gabriel, I went to Europe this summer all around and fell in love with several places. So much I am thinking of moving there for at least a year. What city/place do you recommend? I'm thinking Paris, Barcelona, Seville, or Berlin. What's your opinion I am a teacher here in the US would like your input. Thanks!
Got trauma from the robbery in Paris, material things we always lost and recovered with a lot of effort. We have to worry about the immaterial things, which there is no way to recover, such as love, time, and wrong people who spend devastating everything in our lives, there is not much to do and only makes them suffer.
Been to Paris twice...never again....way too many people.
Way too many non-European people.

HEY GABRIEL, VERY INTERESTING STORY. I HAD SOMETHING HAPPEN TO ME IN PARIS THIS LAST JUNE.I WAS ON MY WAY BACK TO THE U.S. AFTER BEING IN THAILAND FOR 2 YEARS AND LANDED IN PARIS BUT HAD AN 11 HOUR LAYOVER AND FELL ASLEEP AND MISSED MY PLANE TO LONDON. I WAS STANDING IN THE AIRPORT WITH $40.00 IN MY POCKET. NOT A GOOD FEELING. LONG STORY SHORT, I ENDED UP GETTING SICK AND SPENT 7 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL. 7,000 EUROS LATER THEY LET ME OUT AND I FINALLY GOT A FLIGHT TO FLORIDA. IT WAS NOT A LOT OF FUN BECAUSE I SPENT MY BIRTHDAY IN THE HOSPITAL. LOL HOPEFULLY THE TRIP BACK WON'T BE AS BAD.
Damn Brock, that's a harsh one! At least you made it back home eventually.
i thought the guy was at first a big salamander lol
I'm guessing your in Malta gabe, from the clues on your Facebook post 😃
You might be onto something.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Awesome ☺ Enjoy! Lovely island
No graffiti looks so nice
I had the same experience in Toulouse only I ended up dropping $400 for one night at the only hotel room left in town. That sucked.
Thought you would like to know that neuf in French is pronounced (neff)

I was 18 in the summer of '90 as well, Gabe, traveling brother-man. That's one of the reasons I have watched you for years now, plus I get to vicariously experience all these places via you and your GoPro. J'ai un question: Did you see any evidence of the Yellow Vest Movement in Toulouse or anywhere else in France in the last nine months? Blessings to you in your many travels.
Right on, no I didn't see anything of those protests happening when I was in France. I also visited Cannes and Nice just last week but didn't see anything going on there. I haven't been following it much, I just know there were protests in Paris but not sure about the rest of the country.
Going to Luxembourg perhaps?
Really enjoy your videos. Not sure if you knew or not, but the obelisk in the center of the Place de la Concorde in Paris marks the spot where the guillotine was during the French Revolution. Lots of heads rolled here.
Wow, I didn't realize that. Crazy history.
Hey Gabe! Did you get the camera trouble straightened out?
Nope, it still has the stuttering issue in low lighting. I'm working around it by either turning off the stabilization in low light or editing it out when it does that. Really annoying, especially if I try to film anything in the evening.
This town reminds me of Montreal. BTW, ninth is neuvième.
Hello... Gabriel... Bellissima Francia... Grazie mille... 👍👍👍👍
Grazie.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Take care of your self... Ciao... Bravissimo
The tour is going to be in Paris tomorrow, hope you get to see it
I caught a flight from Toulouse to a different country. It would have been cool to see though.
I don't think I would ever sleep on the street. Well actually I would never.
great video
neuf = new not 9.....pont neuf=new bridge.
That man submerged in the fountain water was scary!
Did you later find out what the deal was? I was hoping you'd ask someone if they knew if it was an art experiment, stunt or something else. Often times in big cities people don't want to bother about such things since everyone is busy. Maybe I should go through the comments below to see if anyone with better knowledge has commented about it. #DCTraveler
Yeah it was an art piece.
Great videos, would you mind scouting some casinos for me on your travels? Mostly blackjack, how many decks, how deep they deal, and the betting limits. I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks. I'm not a casino guy so that's not my scene to get involved in. I spent a week in Vegas and didn't gamble a single penny. ua-cam.com/video/WkSBRxx9uhA/v-deo.html However I did work for a casino in a small town in Nevada once for a few weeks, which is a whole weird story that I plan to tell in a video sometime.
That body in the fountain is so bizarre! Surely somebody has jumped in thinking it's a real person? It sure looks real and no sign saying what it is. It's almost like a very questionable practical joke aimed at freaking people out and maybe fooling somebody into jumping in. Weird!
My thoughts exactly.
Hi Gabriel, The French woman appears to be very fashion-conscious it seems to be such an artsy culture very open and very liberal.
i remember of this story
“Neuf” means both “nine” and “new”, so who knows... maybe you’re right and they meant new bridge
Yeah it definitely means New Bridge. Though it seems a bit silly to call it that since the name will undoubtedly become incorrect.
"Neuf" means "New" in Old French. Nowadays it would be "Nouveau"! (or Nouvelle)
That explains it.
nouveau pont = new bridge.
ya, new places new country,
