I was in Paris last week! I wish I had your travel guide then! Love your Chanel so much! You two are such a lovely couple!

[@SwankGuide]

Paris😍 A heavenly City

[@heavy_duty]

Another great tip video! Here's a tip that you show in the background but didn't mention, use your metro pass to take the tram (on the left side) up to Sacre Coeur. If you plan to go up in the dome for a breath taking views, your legs will thank you. Then you can enjoy the rest of the views and place a lock on your way back down. And don't forget to stroll around Monmarte after!

[@cynthiatravelingqueen9095]

We have really enjoyed your Vlogs on Paris. We are two active retirees, who appreciate your speaking to our demographics. We will be in Paris for our first time in two weeks. We have already used your suggestions on booking a private pick up from CDG. We have booked a night tour with Paris Authentic . We have mapped out all the bakeries you have suggested. We are not "Hipsters" but with your suggestions we are sure we will have a great visit to Paris. Merci.

Antoine and Colleen: You guys are the practical and informative best. Thank you!

[@relaxationwithscenery]

Paris. Poets, musicians, playwrights, authors, journalists, and others have all shown their love for this city through their writing. It is a location that oozes sophistication, style, class, and culture. I fell in love with this city the first time I went there, just like countless others have before me.

[@eldeRobe]

Thank you for sharing these practical and helpful tips. My wife and I have visited Paris twice (Sept 2017 and Sept 2019) and really enjoyed our time there. We learned a lot from the first trip and improved our planning skills for the second go round. We're considering another visit this fall and your videos are a great source of information. We purchased the Paris Pass ahead of time and saved on popular museums and attractions. We also made half-day trips to Versailles, Giverny, and St. Denis, and used the metro extensively to get around Paris.

[@roritayik9694]

Love you both so much 💗 Thank you for all that you share with such kindness and Passion about Paris /France. Appreciate all your energy and devotion to your hard work producing such wonderful videos. Loved this episode so much, Sending you both ❤️ from Florida

This is a great video for people wanting to visit Paris. Very clear and concise tips! Love this!

[@blordie8307]

I’m visiting Paris next month for a week of leisure, flying in from Australia. Maybe not the easiest city to fly straight into after not travelling for several years but your videos have been great at preparing me. Merci

[@laurac7289]

Another great video, merci Les Frenchies. I also love that you take the time to respond to people’s queries in the comments. ❤️

I have the luck of growing up in Canada so I’ve got a good start of the French language

[@susanmeisels8692]

Hi Colleen and Antoine, What a great and complete video! I'm thinking that people would need to watch this video a couple of times, it's so packed with information! We haven't been to France since 2019 and we are excitedly awaiting our trip in June. Susan.

[@ceopaulo2907]

@Les Frenchies thank you 😊 for your videos. Very useful and with good advices and information 👍. Can't wait to visit Paris next month 🤗

[@davidsolally657]

Thank you for your amazing information and free travel guide of Paris , it is so lovely. Keep goal for more amazing videos . merci .....

[@michaelgrant6217]

Thank you so much (merci beaucoup) for your videos and advice. We just returned from our trip to Paris. We followed many of your suggestions as to places to eat, what to do and see, and had a fantastic time! Using those few French phrases, like saying “Bonjour Madame/Messier” when you enter a store/restaurant, is not only good manners, it opens the door to a great experience and great service! We also highly recommend the use of guides to some of the key sites. They not only help “skip-the-line” but we found them to give great advice and information about the places, that really add to the overall experience. THANK YOU once again! Bon Journée!

[@michaelgrant6217]

One last question/thought…have you two thought of being guides? I know we’d be interested in hiring you when we return 😊

[@mundorueda9402]

Excellent travel tips. You also come across as a down to earth couple who truly enjoys sharing your Parisian/French knowledge and experiences. I enjoy your videos and thank you for the FREE download.

Found your channel and love it. You guys are spot on about the information! Definitely true about the bathrooms. I happened to 'need' one, one morning. Ran into a cafe, ordered a coffee , used it. Was talking to the waiter afterwards (about the day, people etc)and he mentioned that it's not a big deal to do that and so much cleaner than the toilettes you pay for. I felt alot better after he mentioned that 'everyone' does that. lol.

Thank you for all of your videos. I spent a week in Paris a few years ago and I had a great time with no negative experiences. I was a bit disappointed though with my visit to the Louvre. All of the other museums in Paris get art lovers, the Louvre was full of tourists who only wanted to take selfies.
