[@heavy_duty]

Another great tip video! Here's a tip that you show in the background but didn't mention, use your metro pass to take the tram (on the left side) up to Sacre Coeur. If you plan to go up in the dome for a breath taking views, your legs will thank you. Then you can enjoy the rest of the views and place a lock on your way back down. And don't forget to stroll around Monmarte after!

We have really enjoyed your Vlogs on Paris. We are two active retirees, who appreciate your speaking to our demographics. We will be in Paris for our first time in two weeks. We have already used your suggestions on booking a private pick up from CDG. We have booked a night tour with Paris Authentic . We have mapped out all the bakeries you have suggested. We are not "Hipsters" but with your suggestions we are sure we will have a great visit to Paris. Merci.

[@michaelgrant6217]

Thank you so much (merci beaucoup) for your videos and advice. We just returned from our trip to Paris. We followed many of your suggestions as to places to eat, what to do and see, and had a fantastic time! Using those few French phrases, like saying “Bonjour Madame/Messier” when you enter a store/restaurant, is not only good manners, it opens the door to a great experience and great service! We also highly recommend the use of guides to some of the key sites. They not only help “skip-the-line” but we found them to give great advice and information about the places, that really add to the overall experience. THANK YOU once again! Bon Journée!

[@michaelgrant6217]

One last question/thought…have you two thought of being guides? I know we’d be interested in hiring you when we return 😊

[@sherrileduc4220]

Found your channel and love it. You guys are spot on about the information! Definitely true about the bathrooms. I happened to 'need' one, one morning. Ran into a cafe, ordered a coffee , used it. Was talking to the waiter afterwards (about the day, people etc)and he mentioned that it's not a big deal to do that and so much cleaner than the toilettes you pay for. I felt alot better after he mentioned that 'everyone' does that. lol.

[@craig9843]

Yes very on spot!

[@debrastauffer]

Les Frenchies the best. Just printed your guide. In only 3 weeks I'll be in Paris 🥰

[@ydehay693]

Love Your Videos! I am planning my trip for this June. Wondering if you would do a video on what to do in the evening. So many of the sights close by 6 but we would love to something to walk around or to in the evening. I am about your age so discos and current music bars are not of interest. So if you have any Ideas I would love to hear about it. Thanks again for your videos.

[@laurac7289]

Another great video, merci Les Frenchies. I also love that you take the time to respond to people’s queries in the comments. ❤️

[@theresiasetiawati7554]

thanks for this good information...

[@keith2366]

Thank you for all of your videos. I spent a week in Paris a few years ago and I had a great time with no negative experiences. I was a bit disappointed though with my visit to the Louvre. All of the other museums in Paris get art lovers, the Louvre was full of tourists who only wanted to take selfies.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you so much for your tour there in Paris.

[@Standaman0287]

Just got back from Paris this past Monday. Your videos helped me out A LOT!! I was on Rick Steve's website and someone even mentioned your channel on his message board! Another tip I would like to add in regards to the scammers is to be aware of the ones who try to put the happy bracelets on your wrist. I was walking up the steps to Sacre Coeur and one of the scammers just grabbed my wrist and it freaked me out. I told him not to touch me and he left me alone. Other than that, my trip was very memorable and there's plenty I have to see next time! Keep them videos coming!

[@bencruzsf]

Another great and helpful video!

[@susanmeisels8692]

Hi Colleen and Antoine, What a great and complete video! I'm thinking that people would need to watch this video a couple of times, it's so packed with information! We haven't been to France since 2019 and we are excitedly awaiting our trip in June. Susan.

[@KarenWrightCoach]

Another gem - and of course perfectly timed as I am already planning. Despite having been to Paris many times I always learn something from your videos. Merci!

[@blordie8307]

I’m visiting Paris next month for a week of leisure, flying in from Australia. Maybe not the easiest city to fly straight into after not travelling for several years but your videos have been great at preparing me. Merci

[@nguyenloanngoc]

Can you do a clip talking about using prepaid cellphone plan in Paris or Europe generally. Where to buy the sim card and plan options. Thank you so much

[@relaxationwithscenery]

Paris. Poets, musicians, playwrights, authors, journalists, and others have all shown their love for this city through their writing. It is a location that oozes sophistication, style, class, and culture. I fell in love with this city the first time I went there, just like countless others have before me.
