I LOVE Canal Saint Martin and the surrounding area. SO much. Grab my guide and all my recommendations at parisinmypocket.com for so much more than I could fit into one video
The very first time I used one of the public toilets I was kind of desperate and didn't know about the wash cycle, so I rushed right in after somebody exited and got my shoes thoroughly washed. A lesson I will never forget.
Before we left yesterday we went out to the canals. A new experience to say the least. Thanks again Jay. Also thanks to the stranger for guidance. Actually he started telling me about the underground canals. 😊😊😊
Absolutely love that neighborhood! Great place to walk + manger sur la pouce! Or to sit along the canal + drink + eat. Feels more like a Parisian neighborhood instead of just a tourist pass-through. Love the canal ride, too! Thanks for the ideas te: local spots. That jacket is a great color!
My last trip to Paris was too short and with your help jay, these videos just keep giving me more reason to come to Paris again and see things I wouldn’t have known about without your help
In all the times I’ve been to Paris and even when I lived there, I’ve not been to the canal. That needs to be remedied asap I think ! That does look a fantastic buzzing part of the city ! I liked that Jacket btw and great to see Puxan! Cheers Jay !
The jacket you sported looks like a classic "chore" jacket only in while. I have my grandfathers blue chore jacket (I think it called it a bleu travail jacket too). Must be about 100 years old now.
Great videos! I've been before and returning to Paris 1-5 November with a friends. We're gonna stay by the canal and I'm making some lists of stuff for us
I noticed that the restaurant Bouillon Republique is right near the end of the Canal. Would you say it would be a good idea to boat down the canal and then have a meal at the Bouillon?
My fav part as well! Great minds!! Next trip we want to do an Airbnb there - or is there a better rental option? May be covered in your book wh we will def purchase!
Thanks for all you do @JaySwanson! I'm binging your videos in prep for a trip to Paris in September. Two questions: 1. What jazz club(s) in Paris do you recommend? 2. Is there a Jay Swanson for Amsterdam? I know, not possible, but is there an Amsterdam based vlogger you recommend?
Thanks for the comment! We don't have much jazz to recommend as of yet - but it's a goal for the future. There are a few clubs on Rue des Lombards which is a good place to start. The wine bar Le 18 Oberkampf, which is a favorite wine bar of ours, also has jazz certain evenings. There's no Jay Swanson in Amsterdam, but our friends over at IndiTravel (www.inditravelguide.com) are working to compile list of creators produce similar content, so we'd recommend popping over there to see who they recommend! Hope this helps - Emily & team
Hello! I m choosing between the 10 and 17 th districts for 5 days of Christmas vocation😊 which one could you recommend ? I have watched your videos but… still hesitating😶
And also giving his trade mark denim jacket and boots a break also.Thank god.Lets hope he makes his vid longer.Noticed the videos getting shorter and shorter
The problem is and this is not unique to you, but well over 50% of the comments about you and not the place you are visiting. That’s why I call them vanity projects. Nothing about Republic, nothing about the 2 train stations, nothing about the vibe and how the 10th has changed from a working class area with a hard edge to the “ Brooklyn “ of Paris. Nothing about “ little India” or the street art. My suggestion is focus on the place and not yourself.
This epitomizes everything that is wrong with these self produced travel videos which is too much emphasis on the presenter. Hey folks you and I don’t just mean this presenter, is that you are just not that interesting. Most just feel like vanity projects with way too much face time and a lack of useable information. After watching this I still have no feel for the 10th other than there is a canal and a place to get a haircut and pork bao.
You can literally hundreds of recs in my guide to Paris here at : parisinmypocket.com. Oh, you also can find 100 free recommendations to Paris in this 20 in 20 series that you've stumbled upon. Not to mention lots of other free lists of restaurants, monuments, neighborhood, etc on the rest of my channel. (But if you don't like quality coffee, best to move on I think.. because you won't find your way away from that on this channel.)
That I do! You can actually slow me down - if you click on settings at the bottom of the video you can alter the playback speed - you can even make me chatter faster ;)

Paris knows how to teach unforgettable lessons haha
5:43 Missed opportunity to say “They’ve taken a solemn Bao to support me.”

Great to hear!

You're most welcome! Love the canal 🥰
My last trip to Paris was too short and with your help jay, these videos just keep giving me more reason to come to Paris again and see things I wouldn’t have known about without your help
I'm happy to help! There's just so much to see and to EAT 🥰
Damnnn that white jacket is fire man
If only it fit!
I was so happy to hear about your favourite part of Paris. Also, just finished watching ‘Heartstopper’ Season 2 so Paris is still fresh in my mind.
Good tip on the bathroom kiosks! Wait if you don't want your ankles sprayed! Thank you 😅

You definitely won't regret it! I love it so much

Coming to paris on Monday and will definitely be checking out some of these recommendations
Excellent !
Jay,you do great work, thank u kindly
You're welcome!
Love ❤️ your videos Jay!
Thank you!
Le Canal Saint Martin was planned in 1802 under Napoléon I, not his nephew Napoléon III. Its construction was finished in the 1820’s.
Thanks for the correction!
I live in Paris and love that neighborhood too
Love the 10th!
Beautiful video! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great videos! I've been before and returning to Paris 1-5 November with a friends. We're gonna stay by the canal and I'm making some lists of stuff for us
Have fun!
You see, water makes everything nicer. Maybe the exception could be A'dam, but that is probably just me. 😂😊
I still love the water in A'dam too ;D
I noticed that the restaurant Bouillon Republique is right near the end of the Canal. Would you say it would be a good idea to boat down the canal and then have a meal at the Bouillon?
My fav part as well! Great minds!! Next trip we want to do an Airbnb there - or is there a better rental option? May be covered in your book wh we will def purchase!
Thanks! Airbnbs are a great option, and there are plenty in the 10th and surrounding neighbourhoods.
According to Google Maps, Round is closed. I hope only for August...
They were open before I left at the end of July. But August is always tricky times... good luck!

Hello! I m choosing between the 10 and 17 th districts for 5 days of Christmas vocation😊 which one could you recommend ? I have watched your videos but… still hesitating😶
If you relate to the content I post, 10th over 17th any day, You'll be surrounded by energy, nightlife, restaurants, coffeeshops galore!
@ thank you so much for your content and advice 🥰🥐🙌🏻
Always!
❤❤❤
🥰🥰
Opinion of Flik Flac?

Thank you!
Quote of the Day: “I don’t know how to conjugate verbs anymore.”
The Time(e) Traveller uploaded a video of a boat trip on the underground canal: ua-cam.com/video/8uFbPgFqeGI/v-deo.htmlsi=QV-1hAFzudS8sMQk
Hi Jay , Did you get your french citizenship ?
Not yet! Hopefully I get my interview soon
Jay Swanson giving coffee recommendations? You’re having me on.(Jk)
🍺🍀♥️👍🙋
6:15 Nice to see you in something that’s not a cool shirt. Cute jacket.
And also giving his trade mark denim jacket and boots a break also.Thank god.Lets hope he makes his vid longer.Noticed the videos getting shorter and shorter
Bro slow the speech! You’re making it difficult to understand you!
Napoleon I ordered the construction of Canal St. Martin, not Napoleon III :)
Thanks for the correction :)
You really need to make these videos longer Jay.9mins???Way too short
Glad they leave you wanting more! 🍻
@@JaySwanson True that Jay.Your content is excellent.
Only thing good about a fast food restaurant in Paris is the toilets.
The problem is and this is not unique to you, but well over 50% of the comments about you and not the place you are visiting. That’s why I call them vanity projects. Nothing about Republic, nothing about the 2 train stations, nothing about the vibe and how the 10th has changed from a working class area with a hard edge to the “ Brooklyn “ of Paris. Nothing about “ little India” or the street art. My suggestion is focus on the place and not yourself.
But... it's a video about recommendations of where I'd go to eat... not train station reviews?

Can't fit all my hundreds of recommendations into one video, what can I say ;)
Why can't you stop going on about coffee and concentrate on a Paris guide more????

@@JaySwanson you haven't answered the question
You speak too fast, man. Slow down
Helpful hint: If you click on settings at the bottom of the video, you can personally adjust playback speed to whatever suits you best.
Jay you speak to fast man.
That I do! You can actually slow me down - if you click on settings at the bottom of the video you can alter the playback speed - you can even make me chatter faster ;)
