I went to PARIS! feat. fabric & vintage shopping

[@leanakache8361]

I highly recommend Tissus Reine in front of the Marché St Pierre as well! I found amazing deals on the discount/end of rolls bins outside (like 3 meters of fancy fabric for 5 euros). I'm French and my tiny village was like an hour away by train from Paris so I used to go there every week end from the age of 16! More than 10 years later, I've been living in the UK for 6 years so seeing the city again through your eyes, brought a bit of nostalgia. And the Sainte Chapelle is still one of my favourite places in the world to this day! Also the thick whipped cream on your hot chocolate! 😍😍😍Other places I recommend in the area: there is an archeological museum right under Notre-Dame, which is entirely free - the entrance is a bit hidden and looks like a parking entrance. On the other bank of the river, there is the famous "Shakespeare and Co" bookshop, which looks like a book shop right out of Harry Potter. There is also the Conciergerie not far from here, where Marie-Antoinette was held captive before her death, and they still have one of her dresses displayed there.

Thank you for taking me to Paris.. I left my heart there. 💙🤍❤️

[@Paloumi]

I have to say, your French is really good, you have a fantastic accent :) Seeing your videos it makes me want to reconsider my absolute hatred of this city, it reminds me how the churches and monuments and fabric shops are great!

[@LizzieJaneBennet]

It is the first time I meet you on KZbin, and it's "love at first sight". What a charming lovely young woman you are ! I enjoyed very much this little trip in your company, thank you. For the 1rst time in 13 years (I leaved Paris to never return in 2010), you make me wish I go back there for a few days, to purchase some fabrics au marché St Pierre, visit some friends and family I miss, and have a last glance to the places where I lived (5 years in the XIIIe and 20 years in my dear Quartier des Batignolles, between the elegant Parc Monceau and Pigalle), and the places I loved so much : Monet's Gardens in Giverny, the Renoir at the Orsay Museum, the Jardin des Plantes, the Parc Floral of Vincennes, the Luxembourg Gardens... Ah, Nostalgia !...

[@nicolawebb6025]

The sleeves are excellent. The lace lifts the brown just enough

[@jemima2879]

Always yes to lace!

[@TealCheetah]

Ah yes, the dangerous words 'discount fabric'! LOL

[@nurmaybooba]

I am always happy when a person I follow takes "home movies" of their trips....I will not be able to see Paris but seeing through your eyes was a splendid use of my time ....Thank-you

[@michellecornum5856]

I loved the twenty minutes un Paris.

[@mrs.knecro7044]

My husband is super not interested in going to Paris but omg the architecture is gorgeous the old churches and everything just floor me. Also I knew I liked you 😂all the food just gone before the thought of taking photos crossed your mind. Same honestly same 😅

[@emmadavey3892]

Wonderful ❤ thank you for sharing. I was in Paris several year ago but had no idea the fabric store in Montmartre was there! Too busy climbing the Sacré-Cœur 🤦‍♀️ If you come to New Zealand don’t come for the fabric (it’s a bit sad down here) come for the hobbits 🧙😉

[@maudline]

Taking notes! 😅 those laces are gorgeous ❤ also that apricot juice looked amazing

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

What a great visit!

[@kaytiej8311]

I just love that you enable us to the travel and shop vicariously. And seeing your purchases was an added bonus; and your cheeky sense of human.😉 And we're all utterly jealous of being anywhere near that amount of affordable wools! And your french accent is... sigh...delicious.

[@leahholland6272]

Loved the Eurostar! And we checked out the fabric stores.... but didn't buy anything as it was so hot and yucky (August heat wave), plus traveling home to the west coast of Canada....

[@Catsface99]

I went their via Chunnel with family years ago. I live in California even though my entire family lives in Britain. The French and Italian terrain reminds me so much of California terrain. The wonderful part of going to Europe are all the ruins and various buildings that are historical. Here quite different.

[@johannaroyer3094]

Cool video ! You made Paris look so calm and quiet :) I was there a month ago but for work so not the same vibe ^^ Also the first café you showed half way up the Montmartre hill is where I used to go a lot when I lived there ! Although the café is probably different because it was 10 years ago. Still it felt very nostalgic thank you :)

[@jenninstitches]

There is a dress from Voraigh that I want with my whole heart, but I would like to get it there myself. I am hoping this spring to drive down from Norway to go check it out and go to the fabric shops. The ones here are tragic these days. A few years ago I could get anything, to day....nope. It is the worst and I do not like buying online unless I have seen the fabric first hand. Thank you for showing us where you went and I can't wait to see what you make.

[@annh.8290]

Lovely thank you for taking us along.

[@katerinadementeva6685]

thanks for a lovely travelogue😍

[@funwithrandomnesable]

Wow I was in Paris at the same time and also went to Marché St. Pierre! I'm a very indecisive fabric shopper so that place was both heaven and hell for me.

[@juliecoton9291]

Oohh, it was a really really great vlog, i enjoyed it a lot ! It make me want to go back to Paris, but i want to save some money before, Paris with no money is really really frustrating haha.

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

Thank you! From an American who wishes to be living in Europe, this was a fun vlog!!!

[@shelleymarshall7205]

This was so interesting! Thank you for sharing. Don’t know if I’ll ever make it to Paris so I enjoyed watching your visit 😊 cheers!!

[@eleonore59830]

for next time TOTO is often great for fabric, I got 6m of 100% wool for 30€ from there before Also I don't know if the owner of The Cygne Rose told you but his family used to have a private museum in the Alpes aera

[@CatsCostumery]

Aah such a good tip, thank you! And no he didn't mention, the shop did have a museum vibe 🤣

[@eleonore59830]

@@CatsCostumery Yeah they are closing the museum because his parents are too old to keep up with it but most of the stuff is still over there haha.

[@sunflower7329]

Thank you for an interesting and very enjoyable video!

[@michelemilne9612]

Did I need the lace?---no. Did I buy it?---yes! 😊

[@flores2629]

I'm positive that your spring skirt will be lovely.

[@aeolia80]

I hope you missed the strikes and protests. We’re having a shitshow here now with it (I’m on the side of the protesters by the way)

[@LizzieJaneBennet]

I'm so sorry for you tourists ! 😿 And King Charles had to cancel His 1rst travel as King of England in France, what a disappointment ! 😮‍💨😞

[@DipityS]

My goodness! I'm in Australia and so far away from being able to do this. But I so so love the idea of you being able to trip across to Paris on the train and show us beautiful parts of Paris and gorgeous shops - thank you 😊

[@marcco44]

thank you for showing us Paris!! was glad to see how Notre Dame is looking so far!! and that Sacred Heart Church i had heard of, it was great to see.....Thank you again!👍👏👏

[@justinanderson4814]

You look so much like Maddie from Twin Peaks 🥰

[@allyncollins359]

Thank you SO much for bringing me back to Paris!! I was there in 2012 in March. I remember going to Montemarte (?) and le Sacred Coeur and I went to the same fabric store you did!! I loved St Chapelle more than Notre Dame, and loved the beautiful tiles on the floor in so many colors! So many memories!!

[@cleoclaus69]

Thank you for this. Paris is on my bucket list, so it was nice to do a virtual visit through your eyes. I did feel a little old however when you showed the history exhibit on the 80s, which was my youth. One of the dresses you showed (the strapless black one), I even wore a version of that to my senior prom in 1987. Oof! It didn’t seem so long ago when I used to say it! Anyway, loved the video, and looking forward to the next one!

[@bekytg9393]

Oh what a wonderful vlog. Thank you for the tips, and lots of footage. Your French accent is very nice. Love the little swear near the end. Thanks again. Loved it. Ooo can you do a vlog for London, pretty please.

[@devh6168]

Perfect! Now have bunch of places starred in google maps should I ever find myself in Paris 😍

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

Thank you for sharing! How beautiful! 🎉

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

What a lovely looking time. It’s so nice to get away. Also congratulations on not buying all the pretty shiny things!

[@sarahmwalsh]

This made me miss Paris so much!!! I haven't been since before my daughter was born, which is almost 10 years ago now!! It's my absolute favorite city (that I've been to...maybe somewhere new will take its place but I kinda doubt it). Thank you for letting us wander around with you and see all of that beautiful architecture. I could practically taste the crepes!!

[@-ParisTexas-]

Excellent vlog! And I'm so gutted that I did not find out about that 80s exhibition before. I would have loved to go, but I'm not going to make it. Looks like you had a lovely time.

[@ashleejones1690]

First, I very much enjoy your content💜 However...as someone who experiences motion sickness, I often find myself thinking, "I wish this bit was slowed down / the camera movements were gentler...." That said, I agree with the others who love (and want more of) this kind of content🥰

[@lavictorian]

This was lovely! Great shopping scores as well. Montmartre is amazing for fabric.

[@amandapichon4023]

Going to Paris and Vichy this year but flying from New Zealand. I have no clue the plans but drooling over the food.

[@MichelleSMV]

You went to Paris! This looks so lovely though and you found a lot of lovely things. I’ve never been to Paris but I really hope to go sometime soon. I suppose after I move to Spain. Also love that you show your experience at voriagh ! Their clothing looks so beautiful

[@TootlesTart]

Your look is so cute and wholesome. 💕 I dream of visiting Paris someday.

[@elizharber3564]

[@magnoliaweathershield443]

Enjoyed the video very much. The captions were not very good with the French place names. Sacre Coeur became ‘soccer’ and ‘Sakura’. Can you edit the captions yourself or are you stuck with whatever KZbin creates for you?

[@Honeypepper.]

Did you run into any of the protests?

[@CatsCostumery]

No, this was a few weeks ago!
