My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa and hoping to make the city of light my home base - at least for the foreseeable future. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much.

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? On and off for over two years.
What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS
You're always talking about living on some ship. WHAT SHIP? - I made a "Draw My Life" video that explains a lot here: • Draw My Life
Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).
What do you film with? - I've made a lot of changes recently, but I try to keep my gear list up to date if you want to see what I use and buy some for yourself: bit.ly/JaysGear...
What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school.
Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do.
Why are you living in #Paris? - Because I've always wanted to; I feel at home here: • Why I Want to Live in ...
Do you speak French? - Oui. • Un Jour en Francais (E...
Do you make money off UA-cam? - Ha, sorta. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.
I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - The easiest and best way to support me is through Patreon, where you can pitch in as little as $1/mo to help me make better videos: / jayswanson
I don't trust this Patreon thing - can I just paypal you? - Here's my ko-fi if that's your thing (and coffee is your game): ko-fi.com/jays...
But I want to send you something tangible! - I do have a wishlist on Amazon, though it's a bit complicated with the international shipping situation. This is the US one: amzn.to/2ykS9Ux

Thanks for watching!
Great video, definitely will do this if I’m lucky enough to return to Paris xx my favourite church from my recent visit was Sainte Chapelle, I was astounded by the stained glass windows xx
Quite interesting! Would love to see more day trips! One quibble: the second syllable of ‘Provins’’ sounds like ‘vin’ not ‘vent’. And if you pronounce the ‘s’ it would sound like ‘province’ not ‘Provence’.
Good point. I noticed that some speakers have trouble between "vin" and "vent". They can't tell the difference between the two sounds.
My understanding is that the final S is pronounced so the last syllable roughly rhymes with the word “dance” or “chance” in English.
Nice day trip. Thanks for taking us along!
You're pronouncing it as "provens". Make it like "vin".
Great Video jay
Great video Jay...would love to see Rouen where Joan of Arc died.
Brexit storm🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was really cool! I voted for it because I heard it was good. I’m glad it was! 👍🏼✌🏼
Thank you for visiting my department. Seine-et-Marne is full of historic places like the medieval castle of Blandy-les-tours, the cathedral of Meaux, Fontainebleau and Vaux-le-Vicomte. Without forgetting, the typical villages like Barbizon or Moret-sur-Loing.
Really enjoyed this one Jay! Thank you. How do these small towns maintain their Medieval buildings, churches and fortifications etc? It must be very expensive.
I hope you remembered to buy a letter/parcel opener at the souvenir shop so you won't have to use your keys any more! Cool day trip. Would love to be able to travel around France to see all of the towns and historical sites that abound across the country. We're making plans to be there within the next 5 years, so...fingers crossed!
Two days in a row of Jay Swanson videos 😲
I went to Provins in April 2013. Didn't see half of the town but was there for the best jousting match I'd ever seen along with a live-show on birds of prey (I did visit the main church). I stopped for coffee and sweet crepes at a shop -- great day trip. Small town that gets completely overlooked. Worth the visit.
One of the main reasons you cannot have your own moat is because then, the fire department can't get the truck close enough to put out the fire.
So you can't have one.
How does a video like this get downvoted? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Keep up the great stuff Jay!
I keep adding to my list of places to visit the next time in Paris. Pretty much planned our first trip with your videos and guide. And it was fantastic!
mall medieval towns of France are really beautiful! I have personally visited Dinan last year from Paris and loved it!
I really enjoy these day trip vlogs.Nice to see cool places not far from Paris.I've taken a few day trips from Paris in the past but I found my choices were always a bit disappointing.If only I'd seen some of your day trip choices years earlier.I'll be in Paris next month but unfortunately I don't have the time or money for a day trip.But Provins looks pretty amazing and I look forward to your trip to Reims.At least I can see some of these places through your vlog.Thanks for that.
Great job 👏! Thanks for braving the storm for your viewers 😉
Love Provins! We have family nearby, so we spent a lovely day there last Christmas touring the town and cathedral to take a break from busy Paris. Wish I could live there ❤️❤️❤️
Your vlogs are so engaging, butt I find myself wishing you had more stabilization. I haven't watched enough of the vlogs to tell what gear you used or if you talked about it before, but have you thought about getting an Osmo Pocket? The face tracking and smooth motion are really nice.
Around 6:40 he said “my gimbal is fighting me because it doesn’t want to leave my face” so I’m pretty sure he uses the osmo pocket!
Provins looks beautiful!
looks like a nice short trip. Good for you getting out of town for a while
Great video....Could explain a little bit more about the Navigo to get Provins? It is the one for the 5 areas?
Hello! Yes it is : 5 € for 5 areas :)
See You soon!
Provins in winter time 😂😂😂😂
Really loved this! I like getting to see some of the less talked about places to visit. Thanks! 😀
When I toured France 25 years ago, we brought the Michelin guide (green) which gave us lots of info on sights for even very small towns. It would clearly be very helpful on such a day trip.
Super vid, thanks! I am looking for day trips on my next long trip to Paris - Provins looks like a great one!
I love your vlogs!! I will be going to Paris in March with my daughter for her 13th birthday...Thanks to you and your information we have the most amazing itinerary!! #hugefan 💯🙏🏼🥰
You make me feel like I’m right there with you. Another great video.
Thanks Carole!
Looks like a fantastic day trip, Jay, other than the wind! Thanks so much for sharing. BTW, I love crepes and galettes. Yum! Look forward to your next trip!
Enjoyed the trip, another place to add to my list for May 2021, hopefully Australians are allowed to travel again by then.
Great seeing Proving again through your lens Jay! We took a day tour to see the Ramparts show with birds of prey and play acting of the medieval kind. Those birds have a tracking device on them and can be found if they fly away too far.
The show is in French but just seeing the actions of the actors gives one n idea of what going on.
We also had the crepes at Mammy's!
Some of the best and still integrated with thr modern life ramparts I've ever seen
Wonderful medieval town, great video, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
I'll add Colmar to the best day trips from Paris 🙂
Colmar is 5-6 hours round trip from Paris so it would be pretty intense for a day trip, I’d recommend spending the night or visiting Strasbourg and taking it as a day trip from there.
Fascinating. Thanks for taking us along.
My pleasure!
Thanks for taking me along on this day trip. Enjoyed it very much. I can always use ideas for day trips because I like to do them.
Birdcam
Thanks for the Rick & Morty reference at the very beginning! 🤣 Human Music! ❤️😂
Loved it! Funny I was already pausing and looking at the bell tower beams thinking the same thing about ND, and then you said it! Hope you're doing well, enjoying family time.
I’m in Paris now and I am planning to visit tomorrow … what train do I exactly take and where?
I dont know if you have ever looked into it, but Polar Pro makes a set of nd filters for that osmo pocket that are supposed to be pretty good for the price.
Beautiful town
Seems like a cool place to visit
Jay I started following you to prep for my first trip to Paris in 2018. We’ve ventured to 17 countries since and now coming back to France. Who do I think of first? Jay!
Amazing! I'm so glad you're still here, 6 years later!
You should go to Visby, Gotland, Sweden. You'd love it!
The Osmo is giving you trouble LOL the focus is so erratic ...
The osmo is starting to look like a gimmick to me. The washout in the background is kind of unforgivable.
You should try to pop to Troyes or Reims as not too far from Provins
Love this ! More day trip videos please :)
Definitely!
Did a day trip to Provins back in March last year shortly after I moved to Paris.
How was the weather in March? Do you remember? Thanks
That was fun! ❤❤😘
Can confirm it's nicer in the sun
I like your videos but that music is too loud and frankly annoying.
Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun
Navi go. Isn’t there a 7 day pass (tourists buy?)
Love these videos of day trips.
The great day i must celebrate this with my friends in here
Very cool,,, my name is Provine 🤔🤔🤔👍👍
Merci pour la recommandation! Have you been to Rouen?
Hey Jay! Please have more day trips like this from Paris. We actually did this day trip when we were there 2 years ago. I wish I knew ahead of time how to have made this day trip more efficiently. It may be a long time from now until we can travel again from the US, but I find myself watching lots of videos of places I would love to see in my travels. Something that can be planned and done on a DIY/budget manner. That is how I found your channel about how to use the metro. By far, the most useful video I saw when I was planning our trip. I wish the best for you. Stay safe out there.
More on the way! =D Hope you stay safe too!
Those were two fine fellows to travel with.
How do people make money in the offseason if everything is closed?
I can't say for sure but I'm guessing the entertainers of the Medieval Ramparts Show get jobs on the ski slopes and hotels - They are extremely fit from what I saw.
Bof l'eglise est gothique
Good morning ☀️
Loved the into
Do you have to stick your face in the camera all the time? That is so creepy. Once would be more than satisfactory.
I love provins 🥰
