Paris 1er Arr - Paris' Most Famous Arrondissement

[@JaySwanson]

Well that's it! The twenty arrondissements of Paris in twenty weeks - and over 100 recommendations because I couldn't help myself. For a few hundred more, grab my guide at parisinmypocket.com. And a big THANK YOU to all of my Patrons for making this possible, and to all of YOU for watching and encouraging me as we went! What series should we do next?!

[@thedavidguy01]

Next you can do a series called 96 in 96, all the departments in metropolitan France! No, that would be brutal.

[@JaySwanson]

😆😆☠️

Smart trick making Cooper look giant at the 7:00 mark.

[@JaySwanson]

He's coopnormous

[@BasicAmericanDadAbroad]

🏆 TOP-NOTCH series, Jay...thank you! That intro had me literally lol-ing, too. And well done on the shout-out to your dad, very nice touch & we've enjoyed seeing y'all spending quality-time & having fun together here as well. Looking forward to your continued journey, thanks again! 🙌

[@JaySwanson]

Thank you! I'm glad it scratched the itch 🙏

[@andyshacks7812]

That ceiling and decor in Cafe Nuances is just gorgeous. I love Palais Royale - such an oasis of tranquility. I can sit in those gardens for ages. Great cameo by Paul Taylor ! Thanks for a brilliant series Jay!

[@JaySwanson]

My absolute pleasure! 🍻🍻

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s the SEASON FINALE! Thank you for being a lovely, charming and fun guide through this series ❤

[@JaySwanson]

Thank YOU for being here!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@JaySwanson Always happy to be here

[@Paul_C]

Always a pleasure when they tile over the previous floor. Happened more than you'd expect. One time four layers over the original, and unearthing that was a pleasure, considering the original was not damaged at all. That said, it took ages to clean. 😂

[@JaySwanson]

It's amazing how styles and trends in almost every arena change only to circle back

[@RoxanneM-]

Cooper looked gigantic in that portion of the video with you in the background until your dad tried to scoop him up. 😂🤣👍

[@JaySwanson]

Big lil coop

[@lisaw2525]

You can’t not go to the Louvre if you’re in Paris for the first or second time. I mean come on, the frustration of lining up with 1,999 others to get a sight and picture of the Mona Lisa for 30 seconds just can’t be beat! You can’t miss it. I loved it. Really!!

[@shinyshinythings]

Super fun one Jay, Motors is great, I agree! And I can finally become a patron, yay, so I’ll add a comment about the drawing for an Arrondissement map after I join. 😎 And … I’ve joined!

[@JaySwanson]

Thank you so much! It makes a huge difference. Lots of fun new stuff on the way over there soon too 🍻🎉

[@erpatitube]

Love the maps. Never noticed the missing “s” until you mentioned there was a typo. I am happy you were able to complete the series. Looking forward to future series.

[@JaySwanson]

Thank you!

[@danyelmoulden3803]

LOLOLOL! Well Hello Paul!😁🤣🤣😂😂

Really excellent series Jay.Well done to you and your team.Looking forward to the next series.Cheers

[@JaySwanson]

Thanks Rob!

[@Darkeforce]

Awwww so bummed this series is finished! These deeper looks into the 20 arrondissements have been really terrific. Consequentially, I have a long list of new places to check out next trip to Paris… Along with another visit to Maison Maison! Looking forward to what comes next, Jay! 🍻

[@JaySwanson]

🍻🍻 Happy to serve up some tasty options! Thanks for supporting me and the channel too 🥰

[@flatironnewyork]

It's my favorite arrondissement to stay in, mostly bc i love Paiais Royal so much. I had no idea there's a lot of petty crime there - good heads up!

[@JaySwanson]

Anywhere there's large groups of tourists, there's people trying to pick their pockets!

[@erinmh]

BRAVO! Great job Jay....love the attempted Paul Taylor takeover. I especially appreciate how each video started with: "let's go get some coffee", because...#priorities. *edit...omg Cooper is the bestest boy ever.

[@JaySwanson]

He's the bestest indeed 🥰

[@blaowskiton]

You made my first time in Paris amazing, felt a more authentic and real version of Paris than. I otherwise would have. Thank you for this!!!! Deff sold on the guide after my first trip as well.

[@JaySwanson]

You're so welcome! Here's hoping we can keep making improvements to future trips as we go 🍻

[@Kingusia682]

Thank you for all these videos Jay!!! Each makes my day, every day! 🙌🏻

[@JaySwanson]

You're so welcome!

[@hbeerman372]

Right now i am in a little park Roger salengro it is in clichy , small but lovely...... maybe you can do a series about al the parks in Paris.♥️💐☕🍺🍀🙋

[@JaySwanson]

An infinite search 🙏

[@sylviatsai8637]

Those are like the rolls from Denmark. Looks so good

[@JaySwanson]

So. Good.

Congrats on a successful 20 in 20!

[@JaySwanson]

Thank you!

[@andreaschiltz1915]

Loved the 20 in 20 take two.❤ Thanks for doing it! Great videos.

[@JaySwanson]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@mbrolfe7504]

Thanks for the retake on the original series Jay. Always lovely to see Cooper and your dad as well.

[@JaySwanson]

You're most welcome!🍻

[@Kingusia682]

Awe… 😊Last year, I stayed in the airbnb on St Anne, almost next door to this Japanese restaurant! It was always packed!

[@JaySwanson]

So many good options over there

[@dschultz6981]

Thanks, Jay and team! A lot of work goes into each video and I appreciate visiting all the arrondissements through your eyes. Bummed that the series is finished, but I can always re-watch, right?!

[@JaySwanson]

I hope it's as fun the second time through!

[@findingoureden]

I mean, your dad was in the shot where you were naming him as the Patreon producer, as long as you look at the reflection in the door glass. 😉👍

[@JaySwanson]

Touché 😆

[@mollmeeks]

fancy spotting myself sat behind you in café kitsune wtf! i watch your videos all the time and i didnt even clock that it was you at the time. thats so mad hahah

[@JaySwanson]

😆😆 Thanks for being a part of the making of 🙏

[@agyos]

Congratulations!! Great series…and loved seeing your dad and Cooper and Paul for the finale! After a well-deserved break…I am looking forward to whatever pops in your mind to do…I know it will be good! Howabout your favorite places to visit (not so much to eat and drink at..but to see, walk around, and spend time at)…around Paris..or even France. At least, that’s what I’d like to see…but, I m guessing the night-life spots in Paris, might be more popular! (Mais, attention ! Avec ça, on pourrait grossir, MDR!! 😹🌿🌻)

[@JaySwanson]

C'est clair 😆

[@cindygreif3077]

Great watch! Brothel tunnel to the Louvre? Of course. 😂 Nice to see Paul and always good to see your Dad. Cooper needs a photo shoot at Palais Royal. He looks great on those columns. 🤗

[@JaySwanson]

He matches well

[@gullsrus]

Another good one. Very enjoyable,so much to see and do in Paris. And good gallery like Musée d'Orsay which is my favorite.

[@JaySwanson]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@scarletowl8337]

Merci Jay! Bien joue! 🙌 What a wonderful long love letter to Paris! 💌 looking forward to rewatching all 20 from the beginning!

[@JaySwanson]

Thank you! 😃

[@KarinLynnBates]

It was a wonderful series! Thank you for making it, Jay. 🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@JaySwanson]

You're so welcome! It was a lot of fun

Great series! and thanks for including the Cooper Scooter butt in each video. Can't wait to see what's next from you! Maybe some travel vlogs to nearby countries, hmmm?

[@JaySwanson]

You never knowwwwww

[@dianebalinski3390]

Loved the series! We love Maison Maison which we visited the last two times we went to Paris, thanks to your recommendation.

[@JaySwanson]

It's a great spot!

[@striker0103]

Each video was very helpful for my trip in 2024, and I cannot wait to use some of the tips and tricks you provided. I know can surprise my wife with a few of the spots you visited to make the trip an excellent adventure.

[@JaySwanson]

Excellent !

[@yaowsers77]

Took me a while longer to get through the serving half of the store due to some eye issues but totally worth binge watching! Thanks for putting these outand good luck with the interview!

[@abrushwithtravel]

As always another great video. I enjoy anything you send out via mail so one of the maps would be a bonus.

Thank you Magdalena!

[@smarydemner6697]

Bonjour Jay, and a *huge* thank you for all your hard work! The 1st err is my personal favorite - in fact the entire reason I longed to visit Paris since I was in my teens. It was everything I imagined and so much more...Wish I was there right now :) Again, many thanks, good sir, and cheers from the Upper Right :)

[@JaySwanson]

There's definitely something magical about the very middle of the city 🎉

6:15 Ok in that case, I love limonade and my favourite thing to do when I get Sprite is add lime juice in my class which cuts through the sweetness.

[@aiutoo418]

Hi Jay, I really enjoyed this series. I’ve seen that you talked in this video about Rue Saint-Anne so I was wondering if you’re planning on doing a video only on that place

[@JaySwanson]

It would be easy and delicious to do

As the Patron producer of the segment on the 9th, I’d give my eye teeth for a copy of the map for that segment. I know my chance is one in a million but it can’t hurt to try, right?

[@JaySwanson]

You've gotta try! Also you can keep your teeth

[@carlhale5405]

We are coming to Paris the last week of October... we are seeing news about a major bedbugs problem ... what do you recommend we maintain as expectations? News says to avoid the metro seats and hotel beds, nuts!

[@JaySwanson]

No one I know has seen any or knows anyone with bed bug problems, so I guess I'd take news reports with a grain or two of salt 😆

@10:01 I thought 'Pont Neuf' meant bridge nine.

[@domitiennegegou5967]

No, it means "new bridge", and it's the oldest of them all ! It was made in stone. The others were wooden, so they had to be rebuilt and are more recent.

[@EdEditz]
