Chaillot and Inside-Out Buildings

[@digabledoug]

Ave. Foch is lined with chestnut trees which can give beautiful fall color. Other trees are mixed in the grassy areas like oak and cedar. I even saw a California redwood tree. Most of the street trees in Paris are linden trees. The one you pointed out looks like a linden tree. Place des Vosges and Palais Royal have clipped lindens. A lot of chestnut trees in the Tuileries, Jardin des Champs-Élysées and Jardin du Luxembourg. You've asked about trees a couple of times before. I'm glad you notice them. They can make certain spots in Pairs quite special. If you get a closer more still shot of the tree and leaves like in this video I can usually tell you what type of tree it is.

[@JaySwanson]

Nice! Gotta work on my tree identification skills

[@jamesbinns8528]

Paris also has a good number of Sycamore trees--- Jay, those have the lighter colored bark.

The Musée du Cinéma - Henri Langlois used to be in that building at #1 Trocadero, there was a fire 1997 and it was later moved to Rue de Bercy. Alfred Hitchcock, when visiting the museum, famously left behind the head of the mother from Psycho for the museum's collection! Imagine finding that while cleaning up! haha! Positive vibrations from once again overcast and chilly Ireland! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️

[@JaySwanson]

Haha, that's a great bit of trivia!

[@lohphat]

Gut punch. Below the belt! I want a Paris trip sooooooo much now after seeing the museum.

[@JaySwanson]

Hope it can happen sooner than later!!

[@angeykim]

Wishing you and Paris a safe and healthy confinement. What a nightmare we are all dealing with. Ty for your daily vlogs🙏😍

[@JaySwanson]

Thanks for watching!

[@paulhorton5612]

The smaller heart-shaped leaves - Lime trees I think (Lindens in US and Deutschland), Tilleuls en français. Bigger trees were Platanes (Planes). Foch with a soft ch (Fosh) - buried near Napoleon under the Dôme des Invalides.

[@JaySwanson]

Gotta get me some Victor Hugo Limes!

[@aaaalyaaaa]

oh. as I imagined them in poem by Arthur Rimbaud "- On n'est pas sérieux, quand on a dix-sept ans Et qu'on a des tilleuls verts sur la promenade."

[@diningwithderek]

Inside the museum is this amazing restaurant called Girafe! It is straight ahead after entering the doors from the street. It is pretty pricey but you should give it a try one day if you are looking to splurge. I went there last summer and it was AMAZE!!!!

[@jamesbinns8528]

Do you mean inside the architecture museum?

[@winkprince1875]

The Musee National de Marine, now closed for renovations, is housed in that complex.

Gah!! I can't believe the Paris 1910-1937 exhibit began after our visit and ends so soon!! That's awesome and I want to see it... Damn-did-dee-damn-damn, man!

[@paulhowlett8151]

I was interested in the "harbour" outside Paris in the old map in the museum. I checked Google maps and there looks like there is a remnant of that "harbour" which looks like commercial river barge and boat quays. It would by great to take riverboat cruise down the Seine. If there was one available to travel further down the river than just inside Paris.

[@Gi11th]

Wikipedia told me that this harbour named port de gennevilliers, was only a project in 1908. From 1928 on it was build in a smaller size and got commissioned only after WWII.

[@larchlarch9851]

this series of videos have been awesome. some of your best work.. dreaming of europe but stuck in north carolina ! thanks jay for bringing a little of it too us.

Very much enjoyed this relaxing video. Love the architecture museum! Didn’t know that was there! I also love the green space on Avenue Foch. It’s like 5th Avenue in NY.

[@JaySwanson]

It's a great spot for a stroll

[@pathallam986]

Must definitely see these exhibitions. Another nice if pricey shopping area is Passy, also in the 16th, about 10 minutes from Trocadéro.

[@driddy1]

What a way to begin my day here in Chicago! Thanks again Jay for always showing us the city of light 🇫🇷🗼🥐

When I saw previews of this video on Instastories, my memory was immediately jogged that I’d been to the architecture museum! It is an interesting museum “off the beaten path” of all the well-known museums. I had the real feeling of being amongst the buildings. It is pretty cool to see the larger pieces there!

[@JaySwanson]

It's really neat to be surrounded by them like that

[@jamesbinns8528]

Somehow, I didn't even see it!

[@julymusic2964]

[@andreaschiltz1915]

Great video and loved your intro. As always great quality video. Love "touring" Paris with you. Thank you!

[@nynone4]

HIGHLY recommend the Hotel Elysees Union shown briefly at 13:10 on Rue Hamelin just off of Ave. Kleber. The sign is just beyond the shot of the flowers. Stayed there twice in my visits to Paris. The hotel is small but the staff and accommodations are top notch and affordable.. Thanks for doing these vids Jay! Love them! So cool to see some of the neighborhood my wife and I call “ours.”

[@andreawelsh4497]

Hi Jay. The exhibitions looked interesting. You pointed out the building with the two towers on it, I have an old postcard with the Eiffel Tower and in the distance is that building. Took me a while to find out that it was the old Trocadero. Looked like a lovely building. Thanks again for getting out and about for us. Stay safe 🙂

[@JaySwanson]

Super cool to see the history unfold like that 🌟

[@Chiefchief4444]

Fascinating and well done. Thank you Jay!

Another great vid Jay! Those trees look like Lyme trees. We have those outside my house

[@JaySwanson]

I wish they dropped limes!!

[@francophile1477]

Nice Jay!!! I was right at Trocadero for my birthday in January 2020!!! I stayed at a chambre de bonne Airbnb down the street! And thanks to your suggestion saw Altelier des Lumières!!!

cool museum!

Right?

I see that part of the photography exhibition had old photographs from the Albert Kahn collection. It's housed at this lovely museum that you should check once if you haven't had the opportunity. It's called Musée Albert-Kahn and it's well, in Paris also :D

[@JaySwanson]

His photos were so good! I'll have to check that out

[@silverhiccups]

@@JaySwanson would love to see it in your vlogs if and when you get there, it's one of my favorite memories of Paris!

[@andreamoboe]

Merci Jay! Goodnight from Australie 💕😎

[@sierrawave]

I have to see that architecture museum. I’ve heard the Cluny is closed for an extended renovation and depending on when the ‘rona settles down and I can make my trip happen, if the Cluny is closed this will be a great substitute.

[@JaySwanson]

I still need to get into Cluny!

[@pathallam986]

FYI the Cluny is closed until 2022😢. Final phase of the renovations so hopefully worth waiting for.

[@Spacecorgi]

I always assumed that those barriers in Trocadero were to stop visitors from squeezing together in the edges during the pandemic.

[@Darkeforce]

The museum on the opposite side is the Maritime museum, which is actually a nice little museum. A few years back, they had a special exhibition on how they managed to transport the obelisk from Egypt all the way to place de la Concorde. That’s quite an asterisk to the whole “it’s a free gift!”, isn’t it? Sure, you get an obelisk, but you pay all shipping costs. 😂 At any rate, it’s a worthwhile museum if you have a spare couple of hours. 😎👍

[@JaySwanson]

Hope I get to see it sooner than later! The obelisk transportation setup was bananas from what I remember

[@gingerdean1521]

@@JaySwanson Maritime Museum was closed for renovation in Feb 2020

I think most of those are "plane " trees or Platanus in Latin. Great video as per usual. Thanks.

[@hjones6462]

No. 1 The Larch. JK I’m not sure, but one of my favorite things about Paris is the amount and variety of trees.

[@johncrwarner]

Isn't the Musée Guimet in this quarter? I always think of this area - maybe this and the next quarter but definitely this corner of the 16. as having some interesting museums. I was sure Musée de l'Homme as in Chaillot but my map might be wrong.

[@JaySwanson]

There are a lot of museums in this quarter for sure
