Very helpful info, one question - For a person who's lived over a year in France with a foreign driving license - assuming I do not get a French driving license soon - can one still drive in other EU countries with my valid non EU country license + IDP?

M going to Paris for short work trip on August 10. In the late stage of Paris Olympics. Hope it won’t be too crowded.

From the USA. You speak too faast. Its hard to follow you ans I am Americn. Also did the combination of the first 4 arrondssments really get rolled into one?

whats thew name of the restaurant where you stopped pls

coming from 2024, i can say that the sleep vs editing vs socialising. does not get any easier for you!

more blood. it's a series! also great metaphor!

First blood of the vlog! dave will be pleased

first appearance of Susan

The first appearance of Jay's nachos. there are many more to come. Also the shot on the inside of the grater was super arty. 👍👍

what a great scheme. also I like the longer vlogs

The first appearance of your number one fan!

8:37 "I just smile through the pain sometimes" - beautifully said. Thanks to Kate for sharing her Paris apartment with us! It is such a cozy space and the tour has made me nostalgic for Paris :)

this seems to be the first vlog in Jay style. The timelapse, the running into shot, the music and the filming a day in the life.

nice to see the vlog a day origins story

If it’s wrong to shed tears of joy for your new French citizenship status, I don’t wanna be right! 🇫🇷 So dang happy for you! Loved seeing @girlmeetsglass Tanisha get to celebrate with you (9:06) - cheers! 🥂🍾🥂

What do you mean by your birth certificate is not issued? Even though you were not born in France, you will now get a French birth certificate, then your French Passport?

I just got back from nine days in Paris. I was staying on Ave de St-Ouen so Batignolles was very close. I loved that whole neighborhood; great shopping, wonderful restaurants and the Be Bop Bar was the perfect spot for an evening cocktail.

I like how she made sure to have room to dry her bedding...a dude would just throw them out and get new ones.

French bureaucracy is a bit slow. When I got my Canadian citizenship, I applied just the day after for a passport and I did not have any issue. Different country.

i'm only a shellback, but we had to kiss a fish as part of our ceremony. nothing was pierced.

this was heartwarming.

And I thought Americans didn't understand sarcasm 🤣🤣🤣🤣

could the hermit crab become a character in your future books?

the production on this is incredible

congratulations on your first vlog a day series. viewing this in 2024, i am currently halfway through your 2018 vlog a days, and its great to see, a) you are still vlogging. and b) the quality of the vlogs has improved so much. looking forward to the next 10 million vlogs!!!

Another thing, is why is it easier to congratulate others but not celebrate yourself.

This is something I struggle with, I want to give, but I'm always concerned about how the person spends that money. I would rather give food etc. although I have had some people refuse a gift of food. so what can you do? 🤷‍♂

all those qualities are the gateway to getting to know someone. they are all things that indicate I would like to get to know this person. Also second appearance of the british accent

Also, in my parents generation, you took a job and stayed with it for forty years and then retired, now people can change their minds, you don't have to find the winning formula on the day you graduate.

completely agree, as a graduate of the university of life ( i din't go to uni) I travelled and worked and became the person i am.

I wish someone had told me this as a young adult. a friend of mine who has had some fame, always says it took her 15 years to be become an over night sensation. Wise words indeed.

this is brilliant, obviously most people will want to spend time at the locations, but knowing how long the journey inbetween takes is super helpful.

So they're rude to everyone not speaking French

Pizza 🍕 must be the dish of the week! I made pizza at home from scratch - good fun! And leftovers for breakfast the next day 😊

The best croissants are made of air and butter!

Perfect; this is super super helpful. Thank you for making this.

Hope I can say, “welcome to Paris!” or “I missed being in Paris!”

Got the shirt today, looks great!!

Congratulations! You are very deserving Jay, you are finally HOME now 🏡 🇨🇵

Have you tried Oxymore pizza on rue St. Maur in the same neighborhood? I eat there when I’m in the city. Darn good pizza.

Congratulations, Jay! Something you've been working on for so long is absolutely a moment to be celebrated!~

Those pizzas looked as good as you said they tasted. I’m hungry now lol.

super informative and super easy to follow, i'm still binge watching, so apologies if you have already covered this in another vlog. but the metro signs that are above grounds and say either metro on a red background or metropolitan in a fancy script. do they mean anything different or is it just the style that was in fashion when that station was opened?

the beginnings of vlog a day. did i read that the locks were all removed as the bridge couldn't support the extra weight?

This is awesome, yes i have to rely on subtitles, but more of French Jay please!

this is brilliant

I worked on cruise ships for eight years, its amazing the things that you miss. Baked Beans was my number one crave

Stop being such a sissified girlyman, man-up dude. When the Son of Man returns, will He find faith on the earth?

is this the first appearance of the british accent? I just watched the vlog entirely in the accent that you did for a dare. and as a brit.....well done!!!

euwww just eugh
