I think Cooper already figured it out that you are talking to little people inside your phone. His face looking at the screen while you talk is priceless. 🥰👍 Thanks for another lovely video.
THANK YOU Jay Swanson for all of your educational videos I was able to enjoy over and over in preparation for a mother - daughter trip to Paris I took this late June and into July 2023. You do great work and I found your tips 100% valuable to have a safe and comfortable time while in Paris. Keep being YOU!
Versailles, "erk" ? You're definitely a true Parisian now! 😂 So accustomed to great architecture and palaces that we get picky and jaded, almost bored. Great video!
Lived in Paris for two years a few years ago. Spent my evenings and weekends wandering the arrondissements, eating and drinking. This channel brings back all the memories, and also makes me question why I ever left.
Pour répondre à ta question, en tant qu'Américain, je ne peux en aucun cas parler français. On est simplement pas capable. Jay, tu es manifestement l'exception.
Mad props for the longer-than-arms-length video perspectives! And excellent audio to go with - well done! And don't get me started on the excellent tracks you use - wow! Super job, man.
I went to 17.45 this summer! I also went to Versailles and loved it. My daughter and I went to a “summer evening in the garden event” which culminated with a fireworks show. Very memorable and the gardens on a beautiful summer night with a glass of champagne in hand: swoon ❤. Thanks Jay for your fun videos that I continue to watch even though vacation is over.
Jay I loved this video. The first time I ever visited Paris when I was a student, we stayed in Pigalle. It was so much fun and like you said a tad seedy. I remember buying phone cards at the Tabac and calling my parents from the booth across from Moulin Rouge. No more booths nowadays. Great place the 9th. 😄
I was born and bred there, rue des Martyrs - my parents just moved out very recently. So strange to see it from your point of view. It was never a working class neighbourood but it did get sooo bourgeois it's crazy.
Hi Jay ! I'm from Paris and everything in this video is great ! Pure facts, the 9th is one of the best if not the best night life district in Paris ! Sadly people that comes to visit Paris tend to gather in Châtelet a lot... Please go enjoy the 9th rather than Châtelet guys ! We are also more welcoming and nicer, but thats probably because we are drunk at this point ahah
Stayed at hotel sacha this week and yes Pigalle was smutty 😂 but also a great location with great shops and restaurant. Also perfect for getting to monmarte and le marais ❤️
This was filmed earlier in the summer - It's August in Paris, so lots of establishments will be closed for part or all of August for their annual vacations. We always recommend checking their instagram/websites for updates.
Several years ago I met a storyteller/writer from the Congo and she told these funny fabulous stories of Bijoux (sp?) The Prostitute Ghost (or Ghost Prostitute); are you familiar with these tales?
Yes, it's closed from the 1st to 20th of August for their vacations, but the Dumbo in Petites-Ecuries is open all summer. Best place to find / confirm information is on each restaurant's instagram page :)
Hi Diane! Captions are optional on UA-cam, and you can turn them off by hitting CC at the bottom of the video. They aren't built into the video, so you can take them away, and the size of them depends on your personal settings - Hope this helps!

OMG i love that you know Antoine!!! I follow les frenchies! 😊
Yes! Les Frenchies are awesome!
I think Cooper already figured it out that you are talking to little people inside your phone. His face looking at the screen while you talk is priceless. 🥰👍
Thanks for another lovely video.
Love Les Frenchies looking forward to seeing them in one of your videos.
You and Les Frenchies are my ONLY source for Paris insiders knowledge.
They're a great resource!

Thank you so much!
I live for Fridays and these videos! Also, the squat/lean toward the video always makes me crack up for whatever reason.
Amazing, thank you!
Thanks for highlighting LE17.45! I had already bookmarked this for our trip in December so it’s great to see your feature.
Hope you enjoy it!
Also just bought your book 'Sea of the Unknown' @@JaySwanson

Paris makes the best memories! And will always call you back, even just for visits.
Excellent Jay.Glad you took my feedback on board and made a longer video.Thanks dude
Bonjour et merci de Denver! Really enjoying the arrondisement tours and looking forward to more 💙🤍💕
More to come!
Great seeing you today Jay! Dumbo did not disappoint.
Glad it hit the spot! Thanks for saying hi 🥂
7:56 I love the Palais Garnier. It’s so cool and classical.
I would love to see a video with you and Les Frenchies. My best UA-camrs when it comes to Paris!!
We're hoping to make it happen!
Keep em coming. I love how you go to different arrondisments, and list the best places to eat and enjoy the view. so much fun. Thank you
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying this series.
both times I’ve visited Paris, the 9th arrondisiment was my favorite. Great vid as always!
I would love to see a Le Frenchies collab. So happy you have met.
Hoping to get you one soon!
Another cool video! Thanks Jay! Love Antoine and Colleen from Les Frenchies! Nice that you mentioned them.
Very nice indeed.
I'm glad someone else noticed it, too.
Class.
You bet!
Mmmm that charcuterie board- yum! I love that area where KB is and the walk down (I think!) rue des Martyrs. Cheers for a great video Jay! 🙏
My absolute pleasure!
The 9th is my favorite arrondissement ❤ The wework on rue Jules Lefebvre has some of the best views of the city from the rooftop
Funny you mentioned that lovely couple from Les Frenchies Jay... i follow them too!!!

Love it, Jay! Thank you! 🙏🏼
You're so welcome!
I found your channel after watching Les Frenchies!!
They are great!
They are!
Thank you for this one. I loved it and so want to return to Paris I was there in April can't believe I missed the lovely beer .
Lots of suggestions for next time!

Hahaha what a title! Also, not the opening shot being Timothée Chalamet. Message received 😂
9th is my favorite

Thanks Jani!
Thank you for finally hitting up some french restaurants. I really appreciated it.
More to come!

Those guitar shops look fun. 🎸
They are the best! A must visit.

I mean, Paris is beautiful no matter what time of the season it is lmao
Don't think I agree with that sentiment, winter in Paris is bad.
@@Paul_CI disagree
Is there a history as to why fries are served with just about everything in Europe?
❤❤❤
🍻🍻
When was this filmed? As dumbo is temporarily closed?
This was filmed earlier in the summer - It's August in Paris, so lots of establishments will be closed for part or all of August for their annual vacations. We always recommend checking their instagram/websites for updates.
it's so weird but everywhere looks like london to me, which, as a londoner, i am trying desperately hard to avoid.
Was that a polystyrene burger box? Have they not progressed to card?
Most places are cardboard at this point, but not all yet.
Jay « Do you speak French? »
Me « Fluently »
Several years ago I met a storyteller/writer from the Congo and she told these funny fabulous stories of Bijoux (sp?) The Prostitute Ghost (or Ghost Prostitute); are you familiar with these tales?
Quote of the Day: “I made a good choice for today.”
google maps says Dumbo Pigalle is temporarily closed. can anyone confirm?
Yes, it's closed from the 1st to 20th of August for their vacations, but the Dumbo in Petites-Ecuries is open all summer. Best place to find / confirm information is on each restaurant's instagram page :)
11:20 Highlight of the video
🍺🍺🍺🍀🍀🍀♥️♥️♥️🙋
Here for the smutt and tawdry.
I had to turn off captions to watch this video. Thanks, Jay for telling me how to do that. (they were too large before)
Hi Diane! Captions are optional on UA-cam, and you can turn them off by hitting CC at the bottom of the video. They aren't built into the video, so you can take them away, and the size of them depends on your personal settings - Hope this helps!
Thanks, Jay. I'll try that and I didn't know.
Where do you live now. Have a new project.
Still in Paris!
Smutty burbs are the real burbs, bebe. Gentrification hopefully take longer there. Jadore paris du la proletariat. ❤
Video is too fast Jay. The flash of imagery & you talking piss-pepper fast. I keep having to re-wind throughout.
An Indian restaurant in the 9th? That’s interesting. I’m rather curious.
