An Evening Stroll Along the Rue de Rivoli in Paris, France

[@anitawillard]

My wife and I LOVE your videos! We were in Paris in May of 2011 to see our daughter who was teaching in Tours. Your videos, with all of the "Paris sounds", bring back, so vividly, memories of the wonderful adventure we had there! Thank you, thank you for posting these wonderful reminders! They are perfect! We have never found any so smooth, professional, and satisfying! We are in your debt, to be sure!

Paris is magnificent! The city itself is a work of art.

[@RobSmith2016]

i really need to live there.

[@simonjones8604]

Paris is a filthy, full of graffiti, McDonalds, Orange, H+M, immigrant filled shit hole now. The "magic" went about 20 years ago! Oh you are a illegal Muslim immigrant? Oh that's fine then come on in!

[@yakovisaacs6441]

@@simonjones8604 Wrong. Only some suburbs of Paris are seedy and filled with immigrants of third world nations.

[@joshhuffines5978]

Great video. It helps me to escape to another place for a few mins.

[@simonjones8604]

What to a shit hole full of rubbish, immigrants, McDonalds, Orange, H+M and graffitti? If where you live is worse than this then you need to move now!

[@yakovisaacs6441]

@@simonjones8604 Only a few outlying areas of Paris are filled with uncultured and uneducated or ill-educated immigrants from the third world, while most parts of Paris retain their style, charm and class.

[@yakovisaacs6441]

THANKS Seeing the disciplined crowds, uncrowded and unlittered streets and the air of understated refinement in the place makes me forget the dirt, crowds, noise, crime, religious nonsense and uncivilised environs of the nation where I live. Thanks, for the upload. It helps me escape to a world of class and order for a few minutes which acts like a balm. I am happy for those who call France their home and well living in Paris takes one beyond the glitter, pomp and show of almost every other world class city in the world. Paris is in a class of its own. Retain your culture.

[@Mxsmanic]

@AnUmissableJourney I live in Paris. I like to record the streets because it allows people to see what it's like to just walk in the city, without any bizarre music or artsy effects or tiresome high-speed editing. It's just a "you-are-there" shooting style.

[@syedyawarabbaszaidi4599]

Thanks to upload this beautiful and memorable video i visited few times Paris, a beautiful city with beautiful and humble,kind and gentle peoples.

[@ArquitetoTemArte]

Man, thank you so much to make me feel in Paris again. I miss this place a lot, and this video made me be there one more time. Thank you!

[@Jamlidd]

Fantastic, gives a great sense of what Paris has to offer, thanks for putting it together

[@ParkerAllen2]

Your videos are very enjoyable. Thanks for posting

[@angelanbenjamin7980]

Thank you so much +Mxsmanic for your walking tour. It feels Im there, strolling along. Im going to Paris in Oct and all of your vid has helps me a great deal of where to go, how to get there and what to expect! Thank you so so much! Warmest regards from Down Under :)

[@deelighted]

Thank you so much for these videos! I'll be returning to Paris in October, and these videos just give me the Paris-boost I need.

[@vins1979]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much for all your amazing videos. You took the time to make them and post them on here, plus your narration is very pleasurable to follow. Your videos have not only a "you-are-there" feeling, but also a "you-are-there-with-an-old-friend-who-takes-you-around-and-explains-you-thing" feeling. Thank you! :-)

Ta gueule !

[@UNDERGROUND2000]

This was in so many ways classic..you did a great job in the continuity aspect...thanks for not only videotaping but also posting

[@ACJWJ]

Je vous remercie, M. Mxsmanic. Vos vidéos vraiment capturent l'essence de votre ville magique. Les images inédites, completés par la manque de narration, m'ont trompé de penser que je suis à Paris, flânant doucement sur les rues et les avenues animées. Bonne chance !

[@alexanderfarrell8957]

I visited Paris when I was seventeen along with my mother and aunt, and this brings back some nice memories!

[@bielochka3435]

As always, is a pleasure to watch your videos, your videos are excellent. Thank you for sharing.

[@KauaiSis]

Aloha from Kauai, Hawaii. We were in Paris in March 2011 and March 2013 (what can I say, "low season" for airfare) and love love loved it. Watching your videos make me happy since who knows if we'll ever get back there. Thank you so much for such a high quality visual and thoughtful captioning.

[@KassyGO]

Brought me back to the moment I walked those streets. Thank you for the memories :) Very enjoyable with the sounds and sights of purely Paris.

[@SnowKid32]

Thank you so much for these videos!

Thank you so much for this video!!! This is what I was looking for!❤️❤️❤️

[@jordanstal8504]

Je trouve que c'est sympa de faire une visite de Paris y a plein de choses à voir et à entendre.

[@MrJeffw223]

Absolutely Fantastic!!!!!

[@stufromoz8164]

The hotel I stayed in when I holidayed in Paris is on this street. I found it to be an amazing stretch of road with many interesting people working and living on it and I found a great cafe with equally great staff. I loved this area because it seemed not so "touristy" and more like an area where locals lived and worked. It's a shame you didn't get a chance to do the other side of the street because the bastille end of St Antoine street is really cool. thanks for sharing all of your paris walks there great.

[@JT-db4ih]

I love this. I once worked in an office that had no windows, and I dreamed of putting a video like this or a live stream on a large television screen erected to the wall.

[@wanderingspirit7021]

Great video work. Thank you!

[@nomorebroke1056]

I like your video without music. Just enjoy the real atmosphere on the street. Thank you for sharing!👍😁

[@ratu789]

thanx for this video. let me escape to paris for awhile. been there last year but, until not i cannot move on. love the place.

[@Chatsworth1979]

Another great video, thanks for these, I have subscribed to your KZbin channel.

[@ilianamedina903]

Love this video - makes me feel like I'm there!

[@Mxsmanic]

@TheFraigo Rivoli street actually ends well west of the Bastille, just after the rue de Sévigné, where it merges with and becomes the rue Saint-Antoine (this point is passed in the video at around 26:15). The rue Saint-Antoine then continues on to the Bastille.

[@hughmcgunigel8245]

Brilliant, great walk,

[@Mxsmanic]

Each neighborhood has scheduled times for garbage collection, and city ordinances require that residents set out their garbage containers just before the garbage collectors pass. So normally you don't see any containers on the street unless you happen to be walking near the time of garbage collection for that neighborhood. They are big green plastic containers designed to be compatible with the lifting equipment on garbage trucks. There are also people cleaning the streets early in the morning.

[@brothrmothrmon1980]

i like these videos while i study, they keep me from going to youtube and getting distracted from my homework. I think it would be cool if you looked up at the buildings every once in a while or keep your eyes (camera) on a object you pass that you think is interesting. It'd be a nice slight change in visuals and would give us all more of an idea of what you like to look at as an individual!

[@MrScungi7]

This was a great film.

[@Mxsmanic]

McDonald's is very discreet in Paris. At 06:08, if you look to the left across the street, you can briefly glimpse the entrance to a McDonald's. There are only two on the rue de Rivoli, and this is one of them. The other one is further west on the street and can be seen in my other video showing the western part of the street during the day.

[@74DFM]

Great! I live in Buenos Aires. Unfortunatly, it's a dirty city. Containers are not removed from the streets. They are green too. Once they are empty they are not removed from the streets. And they are not big enough, so plastic garbage sacs are left on the sidewalks, next to te containers. Thanks for answering!

[@Torontopia]

Wonderful shopping street!

[@ispiseco]

Thank you so much for your videos! They are great! You are lucky to live in such a beautiful city. I dream to go one day... If I can save $...

[@2011funnybone]

Brillian piece of documentary.

[@Mxsmanic]

@AnUmissableJourney If I can figure out where they are most common, I'll look into it. I don't recall a specific area that is thick with antique dealers inside the city, but then again I haven't looked for them before. There are a lot at the flea market north of Paris.Sometimes they are nervous about photos, though (they might be worried about people getting independent appraisals).

[@Mxsmanic]

@AnUmissableJourney I just use a small consumer camera. It has the huge advantage of being inconspicuous. People just assume that I'm a tourist. I do have a gadget that stabilizes the camera for extremely smooth traveling shots, but I generally don't use it precisely because it draws way too much attention.

[@KDL522]

Thank you very much! I feel like your videos are worth over $1000k plane ticket. Wonderful, just wonderful!! I pray and trust that you will remain safe, boy there are a lot of people on the streets. Maybe you could be a camera that not's so obvious? Thankyou and Happy New Year!!

[@Mimi-ss3xx]

Thank you!!!

[@NYCBAYMAN]

I was last in Paris in 1969 or 1970. It did not look like this! My son, who was with me at the time, only a toddler, told me that Europe had changed so much. Certainly, in this video, Paris looks very much like New York City where I live now. (I was in Europe for 2 years when a young mother). I found your video while looking for street cams. Are there any in Paris? Merci! Et bonne chance.

[@toguhx]

big fan of your videos. likes, subscribed and comment

[@ParisChicStyle]

Great video:) thanks for sharing! What type of camera do you use because it doesn't seem obvious as not many people are looking directly at the camera while you are walking in the street for 30 minutes and the quality of your videos are perfect.

[@Gometz181]

cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@annieladysmith]

Charming!

[@ParisChicStyle]

This definitely made me recall my last visit to Paris:)) Thanks for your reply! So do you live in Paris, are you French or are you a tourist? What made you decide to video tape Paris streets??

[@josesanchezgarcia6911]

Merci 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💙🇫🇷❤️

[@MrScungi7]

Nice job well done

[@Mxsmanic]

It's just a small consumer Sony Handycam with image stabilization turned on. I do have a gadget that makes traveling shots smoother, but it attracts too much attention so I don't often use it (it is not used in this video).

[@wallykaspars9700]

Great video! I've beeen to Paris in 1980, 1986, 1987 and 1992. Once I stayed in a cheap hotel on the Rue Saint Antoine. This video was fascinating all the way. Many videos of Paris have the usual tourist attractions. It's rare to see videos of walking tours, that's what makes your video well worth watching. I wonder if anyone else noticed the lack of fat people?

[@literary123]

Awesome videos of major sites and streets in Paris. Beautiful, magnificent , what can you say; Paris is truly the City of Light and romance; thanks for these great videos! Nothing like this to compare in Texas.

[@AttackTheGasStation1]

[@ParisChicStyle]

Do you mind making a video of antique shops in Paris streets or if you could also find shabby chic furniture shops around Paris streets that would be great :) Thanks

[@Mxsmanic]

@kamillianne My physical condition isn't really that great-I was just walking at normal speed. Thanks for the compliments!

[@GaryWirsching]

What a great way for folks to re-live their time spent in this lovely city! I have to ask though, how have you been able to shoot this in such a smooth, gliding manner, without the body's natural tendency to either sway a little (from side to side) or bounce a little (up and down) while walking. You did an amazing job!

[@afh7689]

Maybe using a gimbal (search "gimbal" on Google). It is a small device to keep a video camera or smartphone steady when moving.

[@74DFM]

Paris looks very clean for a big city! And I don't see any containers for domestic or commercial garbage. Where is domestic garbage disposed of?

Je vais régulièrement faire du shopping rue de Rivoli et j'aime beaucoup ce quartier près de l'hôtel de ville, avenue très aérée, vivante, boutiques sympas, venez découvrir les halles !! Merci pour cette vidéo réussie 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@ParisChicStyle]

Oh ok thanks for your reply :) If you come across some nice antique shabby chic furniture shops try if you can video tape them :) So, what do you do in Paris if you don't mind me asking? Are you working or are you with your family? I have been to Paris twice for a holiday but next time I come back I would like to stay for a year or so. My only concern is that it's hard to get an employment there especially for non EU.

[@nerljaf]

Love your videos. Am working on a project that has to do with preserving the beauty of Paris and would love to get in touch with you regarding the use of some of your footage in a video we're making. Please do let me know if this would be possible - these are beautiful.

[@cardett75]

quand meme bizarre de présenter la rue Rivoli sans commencer depuis la place de la Concorde, et les magnifiques arcades qui couvrent les trottoirs, ou l'entrée extérieur magnétiseuse du musée du Louvre, c'est vraiment la partie la plus magnifique de cette rue

[@mjcard]

There are these magnificent collection of buildings, parks, streets and the language and these things continue over the centuries with modifications of course. But they continue and the bodies who inhabit the structures and maintain and air the language change, die, refresh, die. The buildings and language are the real Paris. The people only maintain it.

[@Mxsmanic]

@AnUmissableJourney It's impossible to get a decent job without working papers in Paris, and it's extremely difficult for non-E.U. nationals to get working papers. Most of the non-E.U. nationals I know of who are working in Paris have papers only because they married a French person. If a person has special skills that are much in demand, he can sometimes get hired by a company that will help him get papers.
