[@mjjjuly]

it's hard to get a 360 view, given that most buildings are old and short. and there is a height limit for new buildings (max 12 stories i think)

[@justinwilliams7290]

@@jayceyallen7745 Hell, even if you go to Paris every month and a lot of people do especially those in the fashion industry, theres no need or desire for a 'penthouse' because Paris isn't a city for penthouses. A Haussmann apartment maybe... but thats why most people don't deserve to be rich, they have no taste.

[@monamuhuthia]

I agree and disagree with this video because there are rich people who buy these luxury brands like Gucci, Prada etc. what the fashion market is doing right now is preaching to the quiet luxury so that we may shift to a trend. Quiet luxury is a trend guys!!! It's nothing new 😂. If you want to wear loud luxury go for it be yourself. It's all about preference

[@justinwilliams7290]

These hotels are quiet luxury. Middle class and the influencers have never heard of Le Crillon or Le Bristol. Ritz maybe but Plaza Athenee is even quite gauche.

[@RaySqw785]

haut couture? Prada? Gucci? are you serious?

[@charmedprince]

The places for the ultra rich is only a hype. I won't go to Paris to eat haute cuisine or sleep in soft cusions. I would go to Paris to see the place, the outside ambience. All the luxuries that are sold can be found anywhere else in the world where there is tourism and whatnot. But you cannot see the grand view of the real Eiffel Tower anywhere else, and that's what adventurers go to see, not some overblended milk with a touch of asparagus.

[@justinwilliams7290]

Hype... these hotels aren't even advertised. If you are rich, you have to stay somewhere with appropriate security. Well...also, nobody who really loves Paris cares about the Eiffel Tower...thats actually hype. They go for the Musee de Moyen Age at Hotel Cluny or the more obscure museums.

1/ You are totally right. 2/ Nobody's nut. Those prices are not established according to what is offered. They are established for the only purpose of separating very rich people from the others. If you very rich, you don't care spending 60 000€ ; if you are not, you don't book those places.

In the modern times, Château de Villette has been the sanctuary for many celebrities like John Travolta, Tom Cruise and Lenny Kravitz.

[@jayceyallen7745]

Ppl with lower income tend to flip flop with their feelings towards the ultra rich. One second it's finding them interesting and obsessing over everything they do. Sometimes using them as inspiration for their ambitions in trying to climb the ladder of success. And when the economy isn't in a great place, ppl tend to complain about how 'unrelatable' they are and how they are stupid for how they spend their money. It's funny bc rich ppl haven't really changed their behavior over the years, they've always been known to enjoy luxury. If you can afford it why not? It's only lower income ppl that go back and forth in thinking this behavior is either unrelatable or inspirational.

You are right! Whenever I spend, I always consider how my rather limited resources should be allocated. Why spend $ 200 for a meal when I can save to pay almost all my electric bill for the month?
