Good Video Theo . Thank you for sharing your home with us.!💝💝💝

When I’m in Paris, I feel like I’m home.

I’d say that steak is á point and not saignant.

The Paris Syndrome is called like that simply because it was called like that by a Japanese psychiatrist working in Paris. It happens everywhere in big touristic places around the world and to everyone even the French. It happens to almost nobody every year, to people who are already unstable and not fit to travel.

Lovely insight! Makes me excited to visit Paris next year :) And yes, I would love a spill the french tea podcast in spotify!

I miss the food!! I kept saying to myself what the hell kind of food are we eating in the USA. The problem now is that a lot of the great French restaurants are closed or closing. So sad.

You will go high! As i told you.

Theo, the pims cakes are quite popular in Europe, in the UK they are called 'jaffa cakes' and in Poland 'delicje szampańskie'.

The MAIN thing that depresses me after Paris, is NOT being able to STAY there longer! ♥♥♥♥

I have heard about the Paris syndrome.. fortunately I have never experienced it. Paris never depresses me, rather it brings me joy and makes me feel alive.

I love Paris *because* it's a real living city. It's a beautiful thing. Before I visited Paris, I actually didn't expect to like it very much. When I actually visited, I was relieved to see the living soul of the city. Also, Paris at night is truly the most beautiful place in the world. There's nothing like the lights of Paris at night (especially near the Seine).

The stereotype about waiters being rude often comes from Americans. In the US, waiters heavily rely on tips so they are very attentive to the dining customers, to the point of being excessive (IMO). Americans often think French waiters are too aloof because they don't come to the table every minute "How are you guys doing? Everything good? Need a refill on that soda?"

I totally understand in terms of living in a city full of tourists. I used to live & work in Washington DC. You also give good advice that applies to life in general - you get back what you put out. I hope you have a wonderful day Theo!

Love the racing

@01:12 On vous connaît ! So true😂😂

I never have had the paris syndrom, and I have been in paris three times, I love paris

Merci for your content 👍

I also what to try to have my meat bleue, Theo but Im not sure if I could pronounce that correctly because it sounds similar to blue in french 😂

When Theo mentioned the butter with the garlic and the parsley and then made the motion with his hand of dipping the bread in that delicious sauce.....sometimes a Frenchman can be so right about life!!!

Just discovered your channel, like your content!

Will put this on my list. TY

Hey, you impress me with your easy explanations and first of all honesty. You explained it very well, there’s something called the mentality of people and every culture has it. Don’t judge the culture if you don’t know anything about it. French are very unique, have an opinion on anything and visitors should in fact open their ears and learn something new. If something was uncomfortable, you let them know in a polite way and life goes on. Marcie beaucoup Theo, tu es extraordinaire!

Is that why their service is atrocious in restaurants, is because they are honest?

Honesty for the sake of another person's wellbeing is different from being rude and mean but in the guise of being honest. I don't get the nasty attitude with tourists, they're just showing appreciation for your country by visiting it and marvelling at the monuments and the food and such. This makes me think that one trip to Paris will shatter anyone's rose tinted view of the place.

I love hazelnuts and almonds so both desserts would be good for me. Let me try that in French: J’adore la noisettes et amandes donc les deux desserts bien pour moi. I know that was probably wrong. I will look up Brian’s youtube. Merci.

loved the food videos. this place is on my list next trip to Paris. Love the vibe and the prices!

Bonjour, Theo. Excellent videos. I agree with many of your observations. A country's national historic identity shapes the direction and depth of discourse. As an American, I think our complicated relationship as a colonial empire that used slavery (and later racism) to maintain political and economic stability (including expansion according to "Manifest Destiny"), our language and ideas are grounded in constructing meaning. France has a more romantic and intellectual relationship with ideas and concepts. There have been so many significant literary inventions in France. America denied and suppressed our unique stories (Native American stories about nature and spirituality, Slave Narratives grappling with racism and misogyny, and the anti-war Beat Generation Woodstock Rock n Roll). But the big ideas of post-colonialism came from Europe. So, it must be challenging for Europeans not to burst out laughing when our MAGA Republicans parade their ignorance for the world to see. Thank you for your videos that explore France, French culture, and French people. Merci! Dean & Cindy

Vous êtes dans quelle ville ?

Escargots, steak frites, crème brulée - i could have those every day

The restaurant looks wonderful!

The roasted chicken looked delicious. Lovely restaurant

What's your favorite French food?

Toujours un plaisir les vidéos avec Bryan 😄

"Action leads to strategy" - I like these nuggets of wisdom from you! They speak to me! And I went to the Jardin du Luxembourg some years ago on a very hot summer's day and thought the place was stunning!

French people are really nice , specially people in south of france . Parisiens are rude !

I always wondered about that place. Thought it would be tourist trap. Good to know it lives up to the hype - a great pre-opera/ballet option!

Theo my man, we stayed in the 16th and we had the best lobster roll at a place called Lobster Paradise. 27 Rue Jean Giraudoux, 75116. We tried Homer Lobster in St Tropez and Lobster Paradise was way better! Fresh apple and lime zest on top. *chefs kiss*. Very artesian. But check opening hours before you go! If we stay the same place next year you can come inside our 16th apartment 😉

Bonjour Théo! I believe that the cliché about French people's bathing habits comes from the medieval times. You were not supposed to take baths because it was believed that it would make you sick. So the rich would wear perfume to mask their smell. This was common in a lot of other countries at the time, so I don't understand why they say this about the French. Of course there are fat people in France, but I have to disagree with you. I have been to beautiful Paris many times and I would say that 95% of women are slim and in good shape. I don't think this is a cliché, this is reality: Parisian women are thin !

The French accent is great, don’t be ashamed! As an American haha

From the USA.. The bowl of Japanese soup looked absolutely delicious. I wish I were with you enjoying lunch.

Living in major cities can be very alienating for many people. As a young single man it can be very difficult to meet women in cities major metropolisies like Paris, London and New York for example or even in smaller cities. The modern world is far more transient and alienating now than before. We can all move around the globe a lot quicker and although that is a fantastic thing it also comes with drawbacks. Walking around a city past hundreds of thousands of people who couldnt give a sh*t if you live or die and dont care about you one bit can feel very painful, and it we are honest, human beings are supposed to live in small tribes and not around millions of strangers like in Paris. Paris can also be a very cutthroat and elitist place and the dating scene will reflect that, you have some of the most beautiful high status and high social economic class of women residing there and there can definitely be an air of elitism with certain social circles also. Also as a man, there is little chance of a woman you dont know striking a conversation with you and so the onus is on the man just to not care as much about rejection and be ok with comniting a social faux pas and just going up to a woman he finds attractive even if the majority of times she isnt interested. Even if you are sipping a coffee in a cafe there is nothing wrong with making conversation with a woman or man you happen to find attractive. Its nice to make connections with people you do not know. I remember the days living in London and in France as well when I was lonely and I saw all these couples everywhere, all these attractive, interesting woman who I would have loved to go on a date with saunter accross my path with a guy holding her hand and thinking thrre was something wrong with me and as if I was some ugly imposter when this wasnt the case. I only splved this issue by putting museld out there more and putting myseld on the line to face rejection as often as I could, romantically and socially. Im from a lower socio economic area in the North of the UK and I definitely flet like an imposter in certain wealthy parts of Paris but then I reminded myself that I have as much right to be there as anyone else and its up to me to not reject myself even if other people do, easier said than done though, I know.🎉

om the USA. Your comments are very rational. So I think you hit the Mark.

This was your funniest video so far, I was laughing a lot. And hello to Paul, you are a true fan.

I remember the first time I visited Paris in my early 20s and got an incredibly rude and angry response from a woman at Passport control when I asked to get my passport stamped, but in general I find French people pretty friendly, Paris isnt as friendly as other French cities but I find other capitals and big cities are similar in that regard.

What are the biggest stereotypes you've heard about French people?

I like your style a lot, but would be interested to see some smaller places with a more modern vibe and cuisine. I’m going to check out your home page. Maybe you’ve already been there and I just didn’t know. Thanks for sharing lunch.
