Early Saturday morning, NYC, second cup of coffee on a rainy/cloudy day...time to relax, sit back while watching another superb Les Frenchies video with Colleen and Antoine. Excellent work as always ! Cheers !
Porque é que estas empresas de bens de luxo não melhoram a sua qualidade até um ponto em que sejam menos susceptíveis à contrafacção? Não é este um problema que eles têm que enfrentar? Em vez de pagar US$ 200 para comprar uma réplica perfeita, a *jklux* me ajudou muito.
Omg yes mine(authentic) has a odor inside too! Idk what it is bcus none of my other *jklux* bags have an odor. Called lv and they said it was normal and that I could wipe the inside with a damp cloth.I also thought the lining was suede but it is actually microfiber so I'm going to look up ways to remove odors out of microfiber cus the smell stops me from using it as much.
Your enthusiasm and charm as a couple show through and are admirable. My husband and I aspire to live a life like yours, discovering the pleasures of life and gastronomy. We have been together for 30 years and we can say that the secret to a great marriage is to cherish and experience life together through travel and together moments. We wish you much love and blessings and thank you for your great Parisian experiences! You make us want to come to Paris more and more! On y va! 😍
The scarves are fantastic! I hope that you purchased a few, Colleen. The art store was so cool. The chocolate store!!!!! Oh. My, looks delicious. MMMMM....cashmere! Such a selection. I love watching you two, you make Saturday mornings so enjoyable. Merci et On y va!
I love watching you two explore the streets of France!....you are both so sweet!..I found your page a couple years ago just before heading on vacation to France with my daughter, sil, their best friend and her 13 year old son....and we were able to following some of your suggestions making our trip the trip of a lifetime never to be forgotten....thank you for all of your advice, suggestions and wonderful information.......I would LOVE to return some day for another explore of that BEAUTIFUL country!.........thank you thank you thank you.....or should I say merci!!!!
At first I want to say thank you, for all your Videos... every single Video is a little journey to France. I enjoy it so much, I hope you have a lot of Stuff for much more content. At last I say go on and enjoy us with nice Restaurants and Shops and so on. Stay healthy and enjoyed the good Wine and Cheese... ok ok Champagne :)
Not all potential subscribers and travelers consume alcohol, want to eat out all the time or go to crowded museums. They are addressing that with this video which is very well done and curated.
@@NewYorkerinLondon7 For the most part, I just wonder around the city or where ever I am. I also prefer to prepare my own food. I never to out to restaurants. I did see Versailles which was very nice and also the Vatican.
Nice... My wife and returned from Paris a few days ago. Had a wonderful time... Paris is beautiful! Easy to get around the city on the Metro. Easy to get out of the city on the RER or TGV. Safe in the areas we were in. Friendly, helpful people everywhere. It was a great time, we definitely plan to go back! Your UA-cam channel was a GREAT help!! Thanks for everything you guys do... FWIW... We stayed at the Les Dames Des Arts hotel in St. Germain. Excellent hotel and perfectly located! Friendly staff. Clean hotel rooms with a great breakfast. Good gym for those that want to exercise (other than walking, which we did). We walked many places from there. Thanks again Les Frenchies!!!
I'm coming to Paris in May next year. I'm Australian and have never been to Europe and I am so very grateful for your videos! Lovely kind people sharing wonderful tips!
I could not resist stopping by Nadine Delepine's workshop today after seeing this video this morning (such good timing, we were going to be sightseeing in the 6th today!). I fell in love with the red scarf you tried on in the video! I knew I was going to be in trouble when you didn't mention how much it cost, but the detailed work and past experience with knitting told me it wasn't going to be cheap. We stopped by this afternoon and I fell in love with it for real. (Fortunately I checked out her website before we left, so no sticker shock.) The owner was super nice and warned me to be careful--not leave the scarf on the back of a chair where someone could walk off with it. I assured her I would guard it with my life. It's so beautiful! Thank you for mentioning the store in the video, I loved looking through everything in there.
Cool video! Si Tu Veux is a must stop for stuff for little ones back home, and it’s just a neat place to wander around in. I’m look ing forward to checking out some of these places next time around. Thanks, once again, for the new ideas🍷
The epiceries in Paris are amazing. I remember window shopping near l'Arc de Triomphe over 20 years ago. Tiny little glass pots of mustard made with 100+ year old cognac. Incredibly expensive, but I bet they were so good! (Way beyond my means, but so fun to see and dream about them!)
Thank you so much for making all this informative videos: I wrote everything down, and it’s so good to see quite few things in the 6th Arr. I can’t wait to try them all. ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing these stores! My wife and I were in Paris in September, brought back a few things, but after seeing that Paris map scarf in the first store you shown: Marin Montagut, I knew that would be a perfect Xmas gift and it's on its way!
We had been in Paris three times, but all your videos are outstanding, we know much more than ever before, where to go, where to eat due to tons of restaurants in Paris. We are looking forward to be back in Paris year 2025 with a vast knowledge from your education. We greatly appreciated all your videos. Thank You for residing in France.
Thank you, you guys are the best! I've just added 4 shops from this video that ship to the USA for those of us who cannot get to Paris as much as we like.
Another super video to bookmark, especially for ideas to take home to my family for the holidays! Merci, Colleen and Colleen! (and Antoine got 2 pairs of socks for his birthday 😉
H is for hard. B is for black. So the pencils are on a scale according to how soft (B) or hard (H) they are. Pencils for writing are often HB, so in the centre of the scale.
The numerical designation also indicates the hardness of the "lead"; the lower the number, the softer the "lead" for pencils which are used to create shaded pencil drawings.
Great! I knew if some but discovered others to visit when I go back to Paris. I also love going to Mariage Freres and Kusmi The and Jacquard de France.
I love Le Petit Prince Store in Paris because “Le Petit Prince” is one of my favorite books. I got souvenirs for myself and for my friends there and they loved them.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *jklux* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Thank you, Colleen and Antoine, for your videos! We are your age and enjoying our visit to Paris, (staying in Montmartre and Normandy because of your videos! We would love to meet up if you’re around!
I have a family full of chocoholics....When I went to Paris, I knew they all wanted the same thing: Chocolate...so I went to Jaques Genin and Maison Laroux based on your recommendations...It was a HUGE hit...
OMG at first I thought from the title - ok because it's you guys, I'll see. After watching, I thought, wow! the few times I've been to Paris, I didn't take the time to explore these because you try to do all the "big" things. Now, I think you should just fill the trip going to places like these!!
I wish I had seen it, but it was posted when I had left for Paris. I was desperate to find souvenirs and had to settle for scarves. I will save this video for next time. ;)
OMG ! Ha ha now I want to go back to Paris just to buy some of those things you just showed us wow I enjoyed that shopping spree with you so much shame I am so far away oh well one can dream xoxoxo
Love your videos! Last day in Paris . Saw one of your videos in which you spotlighted a charming toy store, I believe, and within that segment, showed a delightful piece that had moving parts and played "En Vin en Rose. " Been trying to find and replay that wonderful video ever since but with no luck. Would you please point it to me again? Thanks a million. Would not have enjoyed my stay half as much were it not for your thoughtful and thorough videos.
I just returned from 3 weeks in Europe and I was lucky enough to run into Colleen at La Jacobine! Colleen, you are such a warm and kind person! Thank you so much for taking a picture with me (Laura)and my friend, Anne. Les Frenchies are correct! La Jacobine has the BEST chocolat Chaud! :0)
There a souvenir I like that's simple and easy to carry back home. It's the €0 bills from the monuments. They cost €3, they're very pretty with artwork depicting that specific monument (such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Catacombs, etc) and can be used as a bookmark or just carried your wallet to show off. Plus, they make something fun to collect. Just a suggestion.
@Baracuda-xj6zk I am currently staying at the Intercontinental Le Grand at Opera. It has been Paris Fashion Week and a huge fashion parade was held in front of the Opera House on Monday night. The renovation of the Opera House is taking forever - we were here in March last year - the L’Oreal ad looks better than the bare scaffolding!
Mam, writing from India. Your programs are really nice. I have been to Paris once. Request you to show premium range women and men's fashion store [higher than high street but not luxury] which are authentic French and very trendy and in tune with world style standards. Best Wishes!
Do you know- Musee L’Hotel de la Marine on Place du Concorde?- We went there yesterday - fabulous history. Magnificent rooms. Entrance 17.50 Euros. It also houses the Le Cordon Bleu Cooking School - where you can book cooking classes.

Love *jklux* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other UA-camr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

In Brisbane!! I've been often. Looking forward to going chez moi in a few weeks.
Handbags are one of my must buys when traveling. You can get beautiful pieces that will be unique at home without spending a fortune
Absolutely!!

Thank you for finding and sharing these hidden gems! 😊 Nadine Delepine bookmarked for when I visit in November.
I was the same, but I am currently here and stopped by the shop today. Worth it! Beautiful stuff.
Watching this video could prove expensive..in the best possible way. Well done!
Thanks! 😃
One of my favorite videos. Looking forward to my next holiday to France. Merci.

My souvenir of choice when I travel is a beautiful scarf! I wear them often and I always remember where I bought them! And they don’t take up space!
Merci. I'm going to be in Paris in two weeks for a couple of days so shopping in a couple of these shops near my hotel will be fun.
I loved your husband’s look when you said that’s like Nutella or peanut butter. Too funny
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Thank you very much 😁
Thank you for this amazing vlog. Awesome shops! Great tips and advice always from Les Frenchies❤
I'm in Paris right now, and I think I'm going to Si Tu Veux tomorrow. I love those kind of old-fashioned toys!
Awesome!!
Cool video! Si Tu Veux is a must stop for stuff for little ones back home, and it’s just a neat place to wander around in. I’m look ing forward to checking out some of these places next time around. Thanks, once again, for the new ideas🍷

You are so welcome!
You need to buy one of those beautiful scarves, they looked so gorgeous on you!
Agreed!!!
I hope that you bought that gorgeous red floral scarf! It looked lovely on you!
Oh thank you!
Bonjour Colleen and Antoine. Not one but ten hidden gems. Merci beaucoup😊
This is what I always miss about Paris - unique one of a kind pieces, exceptional, and the shopping itself is an experience
Magnifique vidéo culturelle du jour
Just as I thought I couldn't love you more. Merci!
Wow, thank you!
This is my FAVE episode! Thank you so much!
Our AirBnB was just a couple of doors down from La Tresorerie and we picked up a few Opinel Knives there. Lovely shop!
Very cool!
Finally. A more curated video. A potential subscriber. Merci.
🙌🏽✨
This was a great video guys! What fun! I can’t wait to visit these shops when I get to Paris again. Thank you
Oh my, now I need another trip to Paris, everything is lovely! Love the crafts store!!! 😍
Yes! Thank you!
When I finally get to Paris, I will be bringing an empty suitcase for all my Paris treasures ❤ Thank you for another fabulous video.
Yes you must. I visited in may but brought a small luggage 😢😢
Go go go to Paris! Look for great flights from the US on Norse Airlines and French Bee… Transavia is also inexpensive within Europe. Hope you make it!
Excellent information for my trip next year! You guys are wonderful.
Great vlog chaps….lovely shops 👌👌❤️
Just got back from Paris and nice- ur videos helped me prepare so much! Thx

Wow, I wish I had known about some of these shops when I was there in June. Oh well, next time.
Your videos are a wealth of knowledge.
I wish I could step into Paris tomorrow to go to these boutiques.
Great! I knew if some but discovered others to visit when I go back to Paris. I also love going to Mariage Freres and Kusmi The and Jacquard de France.
I will be in Paris again next year, and I can’t wait to hit some of these spots! Thank you for the recommendations! 😊
I really love this video.
Thanks guys. More than useful.
👍🏻👍🏻
I'm currently planning my trip to Paris for next year :) I want that walking stick!! It's brilliant!!

Our pleasure!
👏👏👏👏 Love this video !
Colleen, I hope you bought that scarf. ❤ I could tell that you loved it.
I’m visiting Paris as I’m writing this thanks to your videos! I hope to see Mylene Farmer before I leave.
Thank you for everything!
Thank you, Colleen and Antoine, for your videos! We are your age and enjoying our visit to Paris, (staying in Montmartre and Normandy because of your videos! We would love to meet up if you’re around!

Luv you two ❤

One of my bosses has now grabbed this video and making notes.Looks like AMEX gets hammered after the weekend.
good plan
Wonderful
Thank you
Fantastic video! It looks like you did this all in one day, if so, was it in the order you showed the locations?
Marvelous!!!
I just returned from 3 weeks in Europe and I was lucky enough to run into Colleen at La Jacobine! Colleen, you are such a warm and kind person! Thank you so much for taking a picture with me (Laura)and my friend, Anne. Les Frenchies are correct! La Jacobine has the BEST chocolat Chaud! :0)

Great idea 😁
That big ad wall they put up in front of the opera sure is a huge eyesore.
I think it’s a cover over the renovations.
It's being renovated, it happens to all the monuments... also, the adverts partly pay for the renovations.
@Baracuda-xj6zk I am currently staying at the Intercontinental Le Grand at Opera. It has been Paris Fashion Week and a huge fashion parade was held in front of the Opera House on Monday night. The renovation of the Opera House is taking forever - we were here in March last year - the L’Oreal ad looks better than the bare scaffolding!
i love this trip i wish i was with you guys i know what i would buy 5 out of 10 store i will buy all of it thank you so much
How fun. You two are marvelous!!!
Where is a good place to buy silk?
there's a fabric store in Montmartre, I would start there
Wow❤
Wow, loved this. Been i n Paris for 3 weeks and found this video today. Ive just got back to my place with a Pourchet bag. It’s all your fault! 😂
I love shopping, especially in Paris. I am surprised that in the Scottish Cashmere boutique there was a top at that price though.
Bonjour frôm TX, which hop-on / hop-off tour would you recommend?
Upcoming trip to Paris
Do you know when the Opera Garnier building will not longer be covered?
Did you buy that amazing crochet scarf? ?Cost?
Mam, writing from India. Your programs are really nice. I have been to Paris once. Request you to show premium range women and men's fashion store [higher than high street but not luxury] which are authentic French and very trendy and in tune with world style standards. Best Wishes!
Would love to get an idea about the prices as well
We buy shopping bags from grocery stores. 1 Euro each. Use them every week when grocery shopping
Apparently I need to make my way back to Paris sooner rather than later. And I'm not really a shopper so that's saying a lot!
❤❤Les Frenchies❤❤
Thank you 😁
3:21 Lol this is actually for dusting :) that is a true american oblivious moment 😂
Forty-seven Euros on a pair of socks. He must be a loved husband. Great video today.
the hat-trick
Do you know- Musee L’Hotel de la Marine on Place du Concorde?- We went there yesterday - fabulous history. Magnificent rooms. Entrance 17.50 Euros.
It also houses the Le Cordon Bleu Cooking School - where you can book cooking classes.
À Marseille il y a « Maison empereur » qui est une des plus anciennes boutiques d’objets décoratifs, de quincaillerie, de jouets, de couteaux et autres, tout y est de styles anciens, quasiment tout y est de styles français, quasiment tous ces produits sont fabriqués en France, dans cette ville il y a aussi l’herboristerie « Père Blaise » qui est l’une des plus anciennes herboristeries, il y a aussi un ancien épicerie fine/traiteur alsacien « La cigogne d’Alsace », tous ces lieux ont une décoration d’origine, tous y est de styles anciens.
good to know, thanks
My sister and I were planning on visiting Paris. Sadly, she won't be able to. She passed away this afternoon.
My most sincere condolences 🥲. Sending much love and prayers your way.
@@chobleu Thank you. That means a lot to me.
Anyone else see the "Fartz" beans can under the hedgehog xylophone? 😅
😂
The L'Oreal ad on the front of the Opera is distressing. 😢
better than scaffolding, I guess?
