Never get tired of seeing Paris. Been there 2x in the last two years and never get enough of it.....mostly because of their art culture. In terms of pricing, it is similar to U.S. as far as lodging & food. I've also experienced thief, 3 young girls got my wallet out of my purse in the metro. Friendly Parisian.... and you got a steal for the hotel..... can you share where you stayed, I would like to consider it for my next trip to Paris. Oh and I still remember when I saw the Eiffel tower for the very first time in person, I didn't expect it to be so tall and massive. Happy travel Gabriel.

Hoping Gabe goes back to Spain next but as well know, it's almost always a mystery :P one of the many reasons we continue to watch. By the way Gabe, these walking and talking videos (not just rambling but lots of research done) take a monumental amount of energy. Kudos .. Hopefully you have some days to relax, eres una maquina

[@Kelbigby4545]

Not a huge fan of Paris. Just like every European city they keep the touristy areas nice and clean but you get to the 10th AND (neighborhood) and further, it gets very run down. The people aren't as rude as everyone makes them out to be on the plus side. I think of it the same way when people come to the USA and say they don't like it but only been to NYC, which is a bad interpretation of the whole country. I love France and the smaller cities like Bordeaux, Nantes, and Marseille, and my favorite regions like Limousin and Auvergene that's the REAL France and folks are very friendly! Enjoy your time in Paris Gabriel, huge fan of your videos

[@ouient]

I live in Nantes and as you said it is like every European city (more like big cities in muilticultural countries). In reality it's a shithole where you can't get out in the city center past 10pm, where women can't walk peacefully during daylight and where the criminality is increasing at an alarming rate. There is not a single day without a dramatic news. Just today you'll find out news about a student getting stabbed (attempt murder) and a mayor of the agglomeration that just killed himself (I know it's not necessarily related to the depressing side of the city but still dramatic.) Nantes legitimatelly compares to Marseille as one of the few most dangerous cities in Europe. When the population gets to vote (ie on ville-ideale.fr), Nantes is currently the least rated city for security in France.

Interesting, informative, well researched, my favourite kind of travel video.

[@Pinerocks]

I am a frequent visitor to Paris, living in London it’s just over 2 hours by train. I love it! ❤️ I find it hard to believe the original price of the hotel is genuine. I stay at a nearby Ibis Bastille and it’s usually around €99 with a much bigger room. Another tip, that meal was expensive. I usually eat at a chain Hippopotamus, great menu, lots of steaks etc, and menus in English too,if you ask. Merci Beaucoup!! 👍🏼😀

Hi Gabriel, I stunning city of immense grandeur with concerns of crime being it's an old city with narrow streets I would say not venturing into those narrow streets of Europe would be a good rule of thumb especially at night. My favorite books and adaptations to movies have always been Alexandre Dumas The Three Musketeers and of course The Count of Monte Cristo, The Man in the Iron Mask. I can't go without also adding Jules Verne science faction writer Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Around the World in Eighty Days. Of course, these books have been adapted to film and are timeless classics.

I feel for these people, but far too many migrants...compared to what is offered to them and what they want to do...except.bringing their families, making 5, 6 kids and living on social help ...or another kind of migrant is the one living comfortable from drug traffic...

[@JAM-65]

One thing that I have learned about Paris is that many will not speak English unless they see you trying to speak French. I am Canadian and irt is the exact same thing in Quebec City. I see it on every single visit. Luckily I speak and comprehend enough French, but I had friends from Germany travel to Quebec and I watched people who claimed to not speak English, all of a sudden speak English to the German tourists because they could only speak German and English, no French. However, if you are English and just ask them if they speak English they get their backs up

[@markmillward9733]

French lost North America including Canada to the British so there is resentment among French Canadians towards English language still 260 years later. France hasn't lost anything they figured they owned to Germany.

[@markmillward9733]

I'm an English speaking only Canadian and I've also been treated with contempt in Quebec and Paris. It was bad in the 1970s, now they're making English illegal in business in Quebec. I must say I was there 4 years ago and was treated quite well.

Hello Gabriel Paris is indeed an awesome city, I used to live there for a whole year. I really liked coming to the bistros because of the delicious food and drinks but also because of the open and friendly people who made my time in Paris a really nice experience. It is of course understandable that during the terrorist threats they built fences around the Eifel tower, during my visit that wasn't there yet. Here in Maastricht it is raining at the moment. It seems terrible to me to make fun and educational videos about a city like Paris with this weather. Hopefully it stays dry and we can watch more nice videos of you. Good luck!

Hey Gabriel, always love watching any video that is done in Paris. My last trip there I almost died, yes literally. Had I not gotten the problem taken care of I would have been dead in two days. At least that was what the Doctor told me. After 7 days in the Hospital I had 5 days to stay in Paris so I did the tourist thing and bought a ticket on a tourist bus. You pay once and for 3 days you can take 5 different busses as many times as you want to. I rode around for 3 days and really enjoyed it and got to see some places I had not seen before. I was going to go up the Eiffel tower but the lines were so long that it took most of the day to just get a ticket to go into the tower the next day at a set time and if I understood it right you can only stay for so long. I do wish for the d day where you could go up and stay as long as you wanted to.

I even had locals asking if I wanted them to take my pic, chatted with them about the best restaurants and patisseries etc. They are much friendlier in the Cote d'Azur.

[@goostrey4210]

Before the pandemic Paris was experiencing Chinese tourism on a truly massive scale; perhaps that has led to some hostility to all people of Asian descent. My partner is Asian American and, in many less-urban parts of the UK, people often assume she doesn't speak English, asking me, "And what will she have?" It gets frustrating.

[@kayflip2233]

@@goostrey4210 Well the UK barely has any East Asians though even in London, so I think many Brits just assume they are straight from Asia. America has 23 million Asians with some families that have been there for centuries so it's more normal to White people here, even in rural areas. If your partner was South Asian, they would probably assume they speak English since they're more used to seeing them there.

Unlike other metropolises, Paris is very rich in history and compact in size. The neighborhoods are so walkable. You can walk in a very crowded street and after a few turns you will find yourself completely alone. Also the food is unbeatable especially if you love desserts. In this regard it beats out Tokyo for me. It would definitely help if you are interested in French culture/history. Even a bit would help so much.

You can walk around and just happen upon a 13th century church or Delacroix's apartment. That was my favorite part about living there. I also got mugged by the Bastille which allowed me to file a police report for the first time! Haha. Overall, it's a special city, rich in history and delicious food.
