Discovering Paris Neighborhoods - At the Roots of Paris, the Ile de la Cité

My subscribers have asked for more videos about Paris neighborhoods discovery, so, here's for you a beautiful stroll in the neighbrorhood where it all started: the Île de la Cité in the middle of the Seine River.
This stroll will take you less than 2 hours, if you don't visit any site or monument, but it can also take you more than half a day should you take your time to visit all the wonders you will see!
I hope you'll enjoy it!
Of course, as usual, the map of my walk: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edi...

"All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing." - Attributed to Edward Burke. Over 75 years ago millions of good men and women sacrificed to fight evil. Some, like your grandfather, made the ultimate sacrifice. We should all be thankful for their sacrifice and you should be very proud of your grandfather!

I definitely am! Thanks🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for a moving and historical video. History has so much to teach us; these days more than ever.

[@paristoptips]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for the comment.

[@andrewrobinson2565]

My wife and I arrived in France from the UK in 1989 to live year-round and became French in 2018 after the Brexit Referendum. Your video is DEFINITELY INSPIRING for our next to Paris. Thank you 🙏. Excellent +1.

[@paristoptips]

Great! I hope you'll like the Ile de la Cité!

[@betterinthe80sdude]

You have quickly become one of the best channels for Paris sights, along with Les Frenchies. You deserve many more subscribers. My wife and I have been watching your channel from the beginning, and your content and your editing are excellent. You show things that others don't, and have made us change plans for our trip this October because of some of your videos. Thank you for all you do!

[@paristoptips]

Thanks a lot. Honestly, if this channel can help you, it serves its purpose!

[@diannewi]

You've given us a wonderful tour, with highlights galore. Thank you so much.

[@paristoptips]

So nice of you!

[@megand175]

Couldn’t be any more relevant, I’ll be staying right there in 3 days time and cannot wait. Thank you for all the extra detail 😊

[@paristoptips]

Glad you liked it!

Bonjour et merci. I'm very happy to see another video in this series. It's my favorite bits of your content; so informative.

Happy to hear that!

Lots of very interesting looking restaurants on your tour...

[@paristoptips]

Indeed! Nice small typical French restaurants

[@OneRedFeatherStudios.]

Another wonderful walk mon ami. Thanks for all the hard work you put into making these for us.

[@paristoptips]

Glad you like them! And thanks for following me!

[@OneRedFeatherStudios.]

@@paristoptips - You're welcome. Since I've found your channel a little while back, there hasn't been a video you have put out, that I didn't learn something from, and didn't enjoy. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to return to Paris and use some of the stuff I've learnt from you.

[@paristoptips]

Thanks and keep up watching. There is a lot to come in the next weeks!

Excellent . I have been to Paris many times and have not been to some of the places you mentioned . Thank you. I will plan to visit places I have not visited on my next visit .

[@paristoptips]

Glad if it helps you!

[@bbpete8349]

merci beaucoup! I admit I skipped through the fire scenes of N.D. I was fortunate to have attended a service there ~ 2010 and watched in horror on TV of the 2019 fire. I was able to visit Paris again in the fall of 2019. I could not look too much at the destruction even though I was staying close by in the Latin Quarter. You do inspire me to go back and spend time on Lle de la Cite. I want to see Sainte Chapelle! Thanks again.

[@paristoptips]

Sainte-Chapelle is a definitive must-see in Paris. And even better, going to a concert there is a dream come true!

[@mundorueda9402]

Wonderful video! You have convinced me to visit this island as I will stay nearby at the Latin Quarter in October 2023. I will try to see all the marvels of your video per your map. Thanks a lot.

[@paristoptips]

If so, have fun!

[@FrenchMartini]

Great video! Thank you! I particularly love your walking videos - what better way to discover a city and its secret charms?

[@paristoptips]

Glad you like them! Paris is one of the best cities I know, with Roma, to make ever interesting strolls.

[@michaelwhite2600]

Merci pour tous vos vidéos. ❤️🇫🇷👍

Great walking tour!!!😊 Reminds me of where I am going to be next Tuesday, Gods willing. 5 pm Saint Chapelle , 8:00pm dinner at Le Procope( thanks to you)🙏🏻💓

[@paristoptips]

Hope you have a great time at both. Make sure to bring warm clothes, it's still very cold in Paris at the moment!

Bonjour, thank you for such wonderful videos of walking tours….my wife and I will be in Paris 1-5 Oct and we will follow your walking tours guide for the different parts of Paris. Is it possible to obtain good walking maps that we can use?

[@paristoptips]

Super! YOu might find maps in libraries in Paris, but they will be in French. Also this book, in French could be very useful: www.amazon.fr/50-balades-pour-red%C3%A9couvrir-Paris/dp/2036024262/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2F3DUHT1RF1A8&keywords=50+balades+pour+red%C3%A9couvrir+paris&qid=1693155745&sprefix=50+balades+%2Caps%2C73&sr=8-1

[@jenniferaashiem6165]

I’m very sorry about your grandfather.

[@paristoptips]

Very kind of you. Then, obviously, I've never known him, so it's more of a family history, that got me very interested in what happened during WW2.

[@janebaker966]

I guess if you know you've only got a few days to live it's worth paying to live them in relative comfort. Those guards had a good earner going there. I don't believe that Queen Marie Antoinette was as stupid or as cruel as her enemies made out and they were nasty pieces of work for sure. When I read the book by Jean Plaidy "Flaunting,extravagant Queen" I couldn't read it to the end and it made me cry. Which is not like me. I must try to visit the awesome Saint Chapelle+ book online.

[@paristoptips]

Wherever they stayed, for most of these people, the exit was the same, sadly...

[@rachelmrvichin3808]

They were a temporary art exhibition from an artist making sand sculptures.
