I like this guy that is lecturing. Classy, calm and common sense.

I want to go back! We spent 3 weeks in Paris and had a great time. We used Rick's guide books of course and enjoyed running into others on "the grand tour" of central France. It was an easy way to start up a conversation with a stranger - and the best thing is that after studying his videos & books is you can avoid acting like an idiot.

Best quote from the video: "Tax was not boozed."

Cafe Carlu is no longer there. Replaced by a much more exclusive and expensive restaurant.

9:47 Carnet does not mean "ten of something." It simply means "notebook" (or "book of tickets" when referred to as a carnet de tickets/billets).

Rick tell me how is Paris to spend all my life in there

[@kenlee1416]

Just remember even with the museum pass you have to queue to book a time and date to go up Notre Dame. You cannot just go there with your pass and expect to go up immediately.

Who turns up to the Louvre without buying a ticket in advance?

[@restlesswings]

Me.. bought the ticket right there

Paris is wonderful, just try to avoid Hotel Westminster Paris. I booked their Deluxe 25m room and received 11,8m room (N. 114) with dirty bathroom instead. France....In any other country this would be unimaginable, but at Hotel Westminster Paris it is a norm. Bait and switch without apologies or price reduction for a room less than half a size of what is advertised. By the way they have free WiFi up to 5MB, so you can upload 4 pictures from your phone then you have to pay 19.99 for every additional 20MB. That is at 4 star hotel....Pathetic, they don't deserve two stars. That is another way their management openly lies to their customers in order to pick their pockets. You have been warned dear travelers.

[@keppscrossing]

Maybe that hotel should be renamed "Sergeant de Waterloo" after M. Thénardier's inn in Les Misérables?

*museums On strike* *Pomidou being renovated* sorry.....

[@wuaaron808]

So many smokers in the streets. the whole city smells like second hand smoking.

Wouldn’t recommend a trip there now until the French Government gets back to taken care of it’s citizens.
