Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- We’re on a whirlwind tour through Europe and after starting in Florence and making our way to Milan, we’ve left Italy and landed in Paris, France. This is our family’s first trip to The City of Lights and there’s way too much to see and do in just four days. So, we’re pausing our new mission of living like locals and focusing instead on finding as many authentic and kid-friendly sites and bites as we can get our chilly little hands on. Let’s start devouring some Parisian culture!

ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.
I am also planning to visit Paris with my 9-year-old daughter in February, and your information has been very helpful. Thank you.
I’m so happy it’s been helpful. We hope you have a wonderful trip with your daughter.
THANKS@@AlwaysBeChanging
I’m watching this for help planning a trip for my 9-year-old daughter too! She loooooves Paris!
@@ImAlwaysAshley Aw, it seems like you're also going to create precious memories with your lovely 9-year-old daughter, just like me. I sincerely hope you have a beautiful trip to Paris!
Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world for a vacation. It is not only a city of fashion, but a tourist one as well
So much to do and see there! We love Paris!
We are heading to Paris and London in March with our 9 year old daughter. We are enjoying watching your content! Would love to see a London trip!
So happy our content is helpful for you! We have a London trip on the books for March 😊👍🏻
i’m going to paris and london in two weeks!
Paris is the most amazing city and tourist come here full of enjoy and see the fashion beauty
We love Paris! And don’t forget the food 🥐😊
Colt’s expression when he saw the Mona Lisa was precious!🥹Ugh love him! All the pastries made my mouth water🤤Love how Brooklyn eats her croissants, super cute!🥐👌👌👌
He was so excited to see it! And Brooklyn was in heaven eating croissants every day. 😋
Love your family visit to Paris. Your kids are great and both you and your husband commentating on what’s going on was Fun to listen to! Enjoy 🤙😎
Thank you so much! So glad you liked it 😊
Nothing wrong with being a tourist in Paris, there’s so much to see!! Love your Paris adventure. Hope to see more France travel videos from you!!
Thank you! This is the only episode of just Paris but we also include the Christmas Market there in our Christmas market episode. We’d love to do a more detailed episode in Lyon someday. We were only able to capture a little bit of it after a river cruise last year. We’d love to take the kids there.
Still confused how you guys arent getting more viewers. Your story telling and videography are awesome. It shows you guys are going to be doing this for a while and be obviously successful. keep it up fam
We appreciate this comment! All we can do is keep plugging. But the support we already have from our viewers has been encouraging 🤗
Right! I agree with you❤
They are a lovely family, but I get why they don't have more views. Their reactions and the video edit feel to rehearsed to be spontaneous and relatable. Also, as great they are, the parents give off a strange stepford wives vibe that's coming across as obnoxious and disingenuous. A more patient viewer will be able to get over the initial feeling because the doc is actually good. But they need a different editor, someone more attune to content and humor than just image quality.
@@Sayitlikitiz101 and ppl don't love rich ppl being rich LoL. Normal ppl don't watch everyone else vacations lmafo only reason I'm here is a school project. And I needed spots to visit not bc the content.
Share🥰
Brooklyn is a girl after my own heart with the Croissants!
She probably ate at least one a day!
Lovely content. The best part for me was the museum. Got to see Mona Lisa. Thanks for that. Take care on your next journey lovely family. Seasons greetings to you all.
Glad you enjoyed it! We hope you see it in person some day.

There are soooo many things to see and do in Paris that 4 days will never be enough 😉 Come back soon and try more Parisian cuisines 😊 Maybe travel around France a little more in future? Happy New 2023 to your beautiful family and wishing you guys a more magical adventures 😘😘
We would ❤️ to come back and explore all those things and more in Paris. Happy Nee Year to you too! 🤗
Thank youfor sharing your experience!
We are happy to do it! Thank you for watching 😊
I have been watching your guys channel for few days now it is very interesting I like it keep up with the work educating videos and be careful and safe out there
Thank you so much 🙏🙏 and thanks for watching!
@@AlwaysBeChanging you are welcome I’m always willing to watch new new episodes
Very best visit, specially of art gallery
Thank you! 🤗 so happy you enjoyed it.
Just found your channel while searching for Paris videos. Amazing channel
Thanks, Kam! So happy you found our channel 🤗
Very informative. Love the video
J'avais hâte de voir votre séjour à Paris , contente que vous ayez apprécié. Pour les parisiens , le Louvre est superbe mais on préfère le musée d'Orsay moins bondé et des oeuvres magistrales . Dommage que vous n'ayez pas essayé les chaussons aux pommes ou les gros macarons à la framboise , tellement délicieux :p. Vos aventures familiales sont toujours aussi plaisantes à suivre. Bonne continuation!
Thank you! Merci! We will have to see Musee d’Orsay and eat apple turnovers and raspberry pastries on our next visit 😊. It will be hard to get Brooklyn to eat anything but croissants when we’re there 😆. Thank you for following our family adventures!
My family and I were just there for 9 days spending Christmas in Paris. Happy New Year and you got a subscriber.
Happy New Year! I bet that was a memorable Christmas 😊
That was fun.... Paris has always intrigued me... the French seem to be so cultured and expressive. I was only there one day on a layover, but I walked all over town with my luggage... and it all made a strong impression on me... I just loved watching the people, the cute streets and shops and cafes... the expressions of beauty, everywhere... except for the smoking, I remember it was quite extreme haha... good job as usual fam... you fit right in with the Paris' endless charm.
We aren’t fans of the smoking either! But we were also very impressed with how clean the city was, especially with how big the city is. One of the evenings we were at a second floor restaurant next to a window and saw a single man walk up and down the street and not only exchange the full trash bags for empty ones, but he was picking up trash on the street, side walk and gutters. We were impressed.
The irony is the Mona Lisa wasn’t even famous until it was stolen then found. I’ve been to Paris many times and love a full day in the Louvre but people lining up to see it kinda blows my mind. Great channel, you’ve earned a sub! And PS - love locks are terrorism. They ruin bridges, infrastructure and have to be destroyed.
Thank you! We felt the love locks are a romantic idea but ultimately wasteful. And you can see the damage it does to bridges. So happy you like our vlog 😊
I've always dreamed of seeing Paris, I just don't know if I would visit the catacombs if I ever make the trip. You guys are brave.
Thank you 😊 Catacombs was an interesting experience. I’m so glad we all did it.
Париж, Франция - это страна, которую я хочу посетить, она очень красивая. ❤
Yes it is! 😊
Fun stuff but if I go visit I’ll skip the catacombs
😊👍😊
Wow nice place
Красивое и замечательное видео
Thank you so much! 🙏
HERMOSO PARIS
Yes, there's a line at Eric Kayser and the baked goods might be tasty, but they are a chain and can be found all over Paris. A local boulangerie would provide a more authentic experience and provide an even more fantastic croissant!
It was good but most conveniently very close to our hotel. We’d love to go back and do a bakery tour to find the small hidden gem bakeries.
Love Paris!... never been there, if you have time, visit the Musée de l'Orangerie to look Claude Monet´s mural Nymphéas.
Thank you! We’d love to see more art. So many masterpieces in Paris!
Gustave Eiffel made the internal metallic structure of Statue of Liberty and Auguste Bartholdi the external part
Such a cool fact. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, new sub here. Thank you for sharing this I will let my kids watch this. This coming Dec we plan on taking our kids in Paris, it’s not our first time but it’s our kids. How old are your kids? Wondering to see how they are doin with the walking and the food? TIA 😊
Hi! So happy you found our channel. Colt and Brooklyn are 10 and 11yrs. Honestly, sometimes they complain about walking so much but for the most part they understand it's part of traveling. We try to break up the walking as much as possible with sites and fun conversations. And the food, they both do great! Even Brooklyn, she's a very picky eater, but when we travel she always finds the courage to try new foods. We're so proud of both of them.
Awesome Channel...
Thank you!
Le Louvre was à Royal palace for centuries, that's why it is so decorated
It’s our favorite area in Paris! Beautiful 😍
What time of the year did you guys go? We are thinking of going end of November and wondering if it would be too cold and rainy. Thanks for such a great video!
Thanks for watching! We were there mid December. We made our rounds through a few major cities in Europe checking out the Christmas markets. It was very cold (especially up on the Eiffel Tower) but still very fun and charming. Worth it 😊
Thats awesome. I saw you were in Italy and we visited Italy in May and such wonderful country.
Thats what I have heard that it will be cold but still enjoyable. I think we will go for it 😊
Thanks for replying!
Hello from South France nice family,
14:38 mmm ...No, contrary to urban legend, neither the French croissant nor the "viennoiserie," despite its name, originated in Austria, but rather in France, and more particularly in Paris.
In reality, the "Austrian" croissant was nothing more than a kind of sandwich bread in the shape of a croissant.
Marie-Antoinette brought this bread back from Austria when she settled at the court of Versailles.
Her cook was then inspired by its shape to create the French croissant by planning what's now called a puff pastry (a succession of layers of sweet pastry and layers of butter of the same thickness), giving it a crescent shape to please her queen and thus remind her of her country.
The name "viennoiserie" has therefore been used to designate all the recipes using this multi-layered dough and differentiate them from pastry in general.
Thank you for sharing your Parisian discoveries with us.
Peace, people. ☮😉
That is fantastic information! Thank you for sharing. We love how history and food go hand-in-hand.
@@AlwaysBeChanging You're welcome. 😊
Это очень особенное и важное видео для получения опыта, который поможет вам работать с большей производительностью. Спасибо.
Thank you! So happy you appreciated it 🤗
Great video! Just one question, @ 17:13, how much did the portrait for the kids cost? Thanks
I think that was $80.
$80 for 2 portraits? $40 each?
The dad looks familiar. Are you a famous tennis coach?
😊 He does not play tennis.
Great video! Did you use US credit card in Paris? Did they work? Do you have chip and pin card ?
Yes, most vendors take all major credit cards. But some smaller shops don’t take American Express. We have a travel credit card recommendation page on our website. followabc.com/creditcards
@@AlwaysBeChanging Thank you so much. Do they take US credit cards as is or did you have to enable the pin that US banks do only for cash advances. We're so confused! 😔
In the catacombs was there a sign that said to speak softly like in a library..
I can’t remember. That makes me wonder if we were just doing that out of instinct 😆
How long did you wait to see the Mona Lisa?
It didn’t take too long once we were in the room, maybe 10 minutes at most. The longest part was the walk through the museum there.
Best part for me was Montmartre.
We love that area!
Love you guys !!!!!
You deserve to have numerous followers due to your outstanding job. I recommend you to invest on how to promote your videos. Your content is AMAZING!!!!!
Thank you for showing me how to travel with style and efficiency.
My next trip will be to Paris 🐩 for the first time. OOH La La !!!!
Thank you very much! 🤗🙏! Have a wonderful time in Paris!!
Are there any candy stores in the United States that come close to the one they went to?
I can’t say that there is. Nothing that compares 😊
What can one expect to spend on a portrait?
It cost us 80 euro for two. 😊
😲😃👍🤗🎉😚♥️🇲🇽
Thanks for being first to comment!!
Hi! are you home schooling your kids?
They do an online program. So they have a curriculum and teachers but we as parents keep them on track.
@@AlwaysBeChanging for sure!
U R 1 big laugh.
😝🤗🙏
Lucky :(
Aaa
Gross you subject kids to this
Beautiful video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
Thank you! So glad you liked it.
