Montmartre, Paris ... Off the Tourist Track

[@meyersa305]

65 years ago I lived behind the Moulin Rouge and went up the Rue Lepic to school. This video certainly brought back memories !

[@tiamia1134]

My daughter and I stayed here, walked these same streets, last October. We stayed in a charming apt. on Rue Custine and I took a picture of my daughter at that quaint flower shoppe. I even got cough medicine at the pharmacy you show. Oh, thank you! This video is wonderful, sending it to my daughter. Can't wait to return to lovely Montmartre. I collected many chestnuts from Montmartre Cemetery and have them in a bowl under a painting of a Montmartre cafe in my home in Atlanta.

[@carmium]

Thank you for posting this! Handheld or not, the camera work is excellent, and I started to get a feel for what Montmartre is like, something I'll never be able to do in person. For a half-hour, I was out of my drab apartment and wandering streets of Paris! Merci beaucoup!

[@ironpirites]

Very nice video. Anyone who has been to Paris and misses it will enjoy this video stroll.

[@tiamia1134]

I miss it so much. I stayed right here and walked these same streets. That charming flower shoppe, the quaint cafes, exploring the winding, hilly cobblestoned streets...buying crepes fraise et nutella from street vendors and a fresh baguette from the little boulanger (went to two that you show) excellent video work!

[@marianechady9970]

ironpirites Ow I was there in 2012. This video brings back so much memories. I walked all these streets with my parents 😭 Wanna come back soon 💔

[@salimasalima3715]

You give us the feeling as if we are with you. Thank you for this pleasure.

[@MsrAlaindeFerrier]

We stayed at hotel Roma at the top of Rue Coulincourt our 1st holiday without our parents I was 17. We explored montmartre extensively, still my favourite part of Paris. The year after I was 18 I went on my own and stayed at Tim hotel Montmartre Lovely to see X

[@brianpbean]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Very well done. I went there when I was eighteen, which was like seventeen years ago, and it's still a memory I return to often. Every time I think about wandering the streets of Monmartre I get a natural high. This video amplified that effect so, thank you. I also like that you didn't put any music, the background noise made me feel like I was there. Cheers!

[@chrisk8187]

Ah memories! My wife, me,14month old and ~4yr old we're on our two week trip of of a lifetime to Paris and the Loire River Valley in mid-May of 1999. We rented an apartment in the 11th Arrondissement and "did" Paris, pushing our kids all over in our double stroller. We ascended the funicular up to Sacre-Coeur on a beautiful day. Such views, the best of Paris (besides the Eiffel Tower). Could hardly believe we were there! Many human statues that were a dramatic challenge (somewhat scary)to our very young children were working hard not moving at the entrance to the Basilica. We did walk through the adjacent commercialized artist square to experience the energy and atmosphere of what it may have been like back in its heyday. We then walked all the down the steep street to the right passing the famous pink restaurant on the right-hand side corner. Finally spilling out next to the originally restored Metro station across from the iconic windmill lit Moulin Rouge.. The square was full of German tour buses whose passengers were there for the "cultural" assets of the area. Our kids were way too young and sleepy to notice. That was twenty years ago. Glad we were able to visit then and not now. We enjoyed perfect weather the entire two weeks! Thanks Paris, you were a perfect unreal fantasy come to life!

[@jean-guydionne3084]

Bonjour, I never get tired of viewing and reviewing ALL your wonderful Parisian videos. They are the most effective way of rapidly bring back good memories from my three trips in this lovable city. Thank you very much and, please, don't stop...

[@Mxsmanic]

Montmartre is the sort of place where you walk down four different streets and yet mysteriously pass the same corner three times, without ever figuring out why. But it's great fun!

[@fivforfivfor]

Very beautiful video Good constant clear focus And you used the original ambient natural sounds , of the whole walk Excellent Like I was there with you And you didn't rush through it It was very well thought out like you knew your way around And I like how you pointed out every street name practically """Excellent Video !!!""" ❤️❤️❤️

[@Mxsmanic]

Thank you for your very kind comments.

[@charly9927]

this is one of Paris' best! I visited Paris in 2011 and stayed at a hotel very near Montmartre and I instantly fell in love with this lovely place. Love it a million times!Thanks for uploading.

[@dieuralouf3684]

Attention il a des Jamaïquain qui t'arnaque la bas

[@charly9927]

KB9 real beware of Jamaicans, is that what you mean?

[@dieuralouf3684]

***** Voila ^^

[@PerMoenCaptain]

Dieu Ralouf Whats up with the Jamaicans? They play reggae and smoke dope?

[@paulabirchler185]

Awesome video for retiree who may never return to Paris. Thank you (somebody) for the subtitles. It really helps the hearing impaired!

[@Mxsmanic]

I put in the closed captions myself. I figured that would give viewers the option of narration or no narration, and I didn't want any cheesy music or a droning voice interfering with the actual ambient sounds that you hear when you are actually there.

[@thelogans926]

It's a great video, I like how you presented it, it's big help . Thank you.

[@carlosromero6603]

Soy de Buenos Aires, Argentina, y quería felicitarte y agradecerte por este magnífico video. Sinceramente, está muy bien filmado y con buen gusto. Me ha permitido recordar momentos felices durante mi paso por ese bello barrio, Montmartre. Muy linda también la toma final (con las siluetas a contraluz y las nubes pasando...) Muchas gracias y felicitaciones.

[@Tonywization]

Brilliant video of Montmartre spent a lot of time here in my youth and really miss it.Sadly not as young as I once was and have not been back for quite a few years.This brought back lots of good memorys for me so thanks for posting.

[@christianeroubert5454]

Un Paris bien moins bruyant ,agréable,merci pour le film💐💐🙋💐💐🦉

[@goraidersndodgers]

Love the sound of voices echoing off the apartment walls. I was there for two weeks and didn't spend as much time as I should have in Montmartre. The little time I did spend there was way more enjoyable than the crowds and annoying vendors in the tourist spots. Next time i go, I'll spend more time off the tourist track and more time exploring areas like this. Thank you for posting the video ***** it brings back memories of my trip. :)

[@michaelstewart5717]

Beautifully done! Paris is often described as being a series of small villages, and no part is more "villagey" than Montmartre, especially the area covered in this video. Years ago I had good friends who lived in this part of Montmartre, and as a result I was able to get acquainted with the area and its bistros, cafes and bars, all without a tourist in sight (the gods be praised). Again, terrific job.

[@Pfsif]

But you were a tourist who ruined it for the locals?

[@Mxsmanic]

No, I'm a local myself.

[@joegoldiamond1320]

Very well done, thank you. I lived in Montmartre for many years and always found it a delight. There is always so much to discover, so much sensual delight. You show it well.

[@ashokranjib2736]

[@gwennehensel4700]

Words cannot even BEGIN to express what a treasure your videos are! And also, appreciation for the time involved in making them and in post production! That you have only used the sounds around you, is what makes them all the more such a treasure. Thank you for these gems.

[@TheSvemirka]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Whenever I miss Paris I watch the video and feel as if I am there:) This is a magnificent artistic video.

[@isahappy2340]

C est excellent ! Merci ! J allais a l,école des Sœurs rue Norvins dans mon enfance ..eons ago ! Brought me back ..Love your script and coordination with videos -nice sense of photographie - thank you! A certaine sensibility in your presentation much appreciated :)

[@DavidBrileyRealEstateAgent]

I've been looking for a video of Montmatre to watch JUST LIKE THIS ONE. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@63nanard]

Ah la rue ravignan , la rue lepic , les abesses .....que de souvenirs en des lieux exigus mais o combien chargés du caractere unique de ce quartier ! un peu loin des vertes prairies de mon enfance mais tellement inscrits a jamais dans mon coeur .....MERCI pour ce joli reportage !

[@beerborn]

I've been to Paris 5 times and this is definitely off the tourist track. I love these quiet streets to walk on were tourist never get to see and only locals know. Great video.

[@Dave7043]

Yet you were a tourist who got to see it..

[@WVelasco9977]

Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to record it, edit it and sharing it to the world. I love it, took me back to Paris.

[@Bluesbabesrv]

Merci for this realistic video of the Montmartre area. We are planning a trip to Paris for later this year and have your videos streaming on our tv. Even though we have been to Paris before, in the 1990's, your videos will be of great help.

[@danielle-michelleelfgren7289]

Thank you for this video ! I lived in Montmartre, this is where I grew up and I miss it so much !!!! I saw so many streets where I used to walk with my family and friends !!! Montmartre is always in my heart !

[@mariaalejandraconiglio519]

Hermoso video!! Estuvimos allí en Mayo y te felicito porque es muy completo e interesante!!!Saludos desde Argentina!!!

[@danceswithjackhuahuadog]

Je reste à Montmartre pendant deux semaines au début de Septembre, et c'était très bien pour moi. Merci!

[@frantalk1]

Thank you Mxsmanic for two fantastic videos. Without comment or music, the feel and atmosphere of these lovely French districts was perfect. I was lost in a world of real France for 3 hours.----- So much so that my legs ached from climbing those hundreds of steps of Montmartre. Thank you again !!

[@Thom518]

Outstanding video. Show the true life in the streets of everyday Paris, really off the tourist track. Very very nice. Congratulation.

[@mikeduggincom]

Thank you very much. Love seeing these great videos. You have taken me to a place I’ll never see. Thank you. Love seeing Montmartre!!

[@Mxsmanic]

Thans!

Thank you for this video. I really apreciate it. Soon I will be there, in Paris, walking and seeing these streets and beautiful places.

[@arcturusgold8858]

Turning the camera to view the places just passed is an excellent idea and gives an extra feel to the scenes.!!!! Wonderful, casual and 'atmospheric'!

[@jessicaronalds1919]

Exquisite! So well done. Your comments were brilliant and the silence otherwise was so relaxing. My husband and are sold and will include Montmartre in our trip this Fall.

[@richmck007]

March 2018 I will be in Paris once more! This video is a nostalgic bird's eye view for me. ..Cannot wait to wander the streets and stairs again. I first discovered this area in 1982. And I can still do it..! I only wish I had a camera like yours!

[@izlence]

We watched your videos numerous times on apple tv, so I couldn't comment and thank you. Hope you upload new ones. Merci beaucoup!

[@danamahoutchian7136]

Well done! Was just in Paris, but had no time to see this area! Thanks for posting!

What a nice video, love it, thank you.

this video is captivating.Montmartre is such a special quarter.thks

[@shifanut1]

Great video! I've always dreamed of visiting Paris in my retirement, but I'm afraid that's just not in the cards. Your film is the next best thing to being there! Thanks, so much!

[@mefta001]

What a beautiful walk through Montmartre, I loved to walk with you.

[@Mxsmanic]

Thank you.

[@yakovisaacs6441]

Thank you for your painstaking efforts in making this outstanding video of an outstanding locality in Paris that is more a piece of art than anything else.

[@NewYorkHabitat]

Stunning shooting and really cool tour of the iconic Montmartre! There's always something interesting around the corner in this area of Paris, thanks for sharing!

[@SPQR38]

Un grand merci pour cette vidéo. Félicitations car celle-ci est bien filmée sans tremblement qui donne le mal de mer. Bonne continuation. Bien à vous.

[@madeleinebelle2105]

I covered quite a bit of Paris....didn't make it to Montmartre...I enjoyed but don't think I'd have appreciated all the stairways...you were able to embrace the atmosphere and charm beautifully..thank you.

[@Atelierishopnow]

So simple. So perfect. Trasported there, could watch for hours...

[@jinx1947]

Thank you...I need to watch it again with a map alongside me! I can't wait to return to Paris!

In this era of jerky, lo-res, awful-sounding youtube video, this is great! I really appreciate you taking the time to post this, since I'll be in Paris in 4 months. Regards!

[@rr7firefly]

Yes, this is one of the reasons why this whole series of places in Paris is so fantastic. The videos capture the ambient sounds of each location in exacting realism. One thing I particularly like is hearing the sound of wind in the trees.

Loving this tour! Just visited Sacre-Coeur and hiked the tower this past May. I'd much rather see and feel this village over a stroll at Vendome or Champs-Elysees!

Merci! Des commentaires sont disponibles (en anglais) via les sous-titres closed-caption pour ceux qui en veulent. Je n'ai pas mis de commentaires audio pour ne pas perturber l'expérience.

[@AAmed1980]

Montmarte seems fascinating... How is that every building in Paris is so elegantly designed? From the museum to the simple residences, every building seems to have character..

[@Mxsmanic]

Statistically it rains every other day, although in fact it's more like several days cloudy and rainy, several sunny, then several rainy again, etc. Overcast days are not unusual. It's a temperature climate that changes at lot depending on whether the wind is blowing from the north or south. The overcast days are usually very light overcasts so they are still very bright.

Happy to help. That's the main idea behind my Paris videos: to show you exactly what it looks like so that you have a taste of Paris in advance, or a view of Paris if you can't actually visit the city.

Thanks very much for uploading such a lovely video. I was there 10 days ago, I stayed at Ibis, a lot of places including the bakery store, fish market, La Maison Rose restaurant/cafe... still in my mind. Thanks again.

Wonderful....love your videos!

[@richmck007]

Loved your video. Thanks for the time taken in post post production! I have done a lot of that walk but in the opposite way. Down from the Basilica. Always on the look out for something I missed before. Thanks to your video, I have seen more! So now I have the perfect excuse to go back this June! By the way, what camera did you use. The steadiness and clarity is very good, so much so that I was able see the stuff s if I were actually there.

[@richmck007]

Watched this again. Was nice to see ahain, after I had been once more! And the camera you used was...?

[@Mxsmanic]

A small Sony Handicam, obsolete and no longer made today.

[@Jean-Delalune]

Bravo pour cette vidéo, j'ai bien apprécié la qualité du tournage et je comprends bien pourquoi Paris est tant apprécié des français comme des étrangers. Il faut que Paris reste à taille humaine et qu'il ne change pas trop (vite). Merci

[@Mxsmanic]

I wasn't born in Paris but I've lived in the city for many years. Paris is a great city. I've never regretted moving to Paris. Hollywood glamorizes it but even in real life it's wonderful.

[@L.M1792]

I watched every second of this and thoroughly enjoyed it. although I got a good chuckle at the Carmelite residence, its soaring visions of prison, for some reason, made me wonder why. The maintaining of society is, as you know, 24/7, and this place seems to be doing well. good luck.

[@tarek307]

I really loved this area of Paris, even used to take the Metro 20 mins each morning from my hotel just to go get breakfast there! best nutella crepe's
