Around the Paris Opera at Rush Hour

[@kurioustomahawk]

Perfect. All the characteristic sounds of Paris, diesel engines, scooter engines, horns... Love it, J'adore.

[@DavidinSLO]

Excellent video. I like that you included subtitles in English, rather than a verbal narration. Which allows viewers to simply enjoy the ambiance, yet understand what they're looking at. And also is easier for non native English speakers to follow! Very well done.

[@Mxsmanic]

Thank you. I use subtitles so that viewers can take or leave narration at their option. I don't want to impose my voice or my point of view upon them.

[@gloriawalker3537]

I'm binge watching your videos . This is my third one so far and all I can say is your Awesome 👏👏👏👏

[@romuedgaram]

I felt like walking there, almost felt the noise, the vibe, even the stress!

[@karlpark8575]

Thanks for the video. Just visited Paris and stayed around Paris Opera area. It was so nice. It is crowded but very energetic. Lots of tourists, cafes, restaurants, and people watching.

[@bcokayne]

Ill be staying here in 16 days. This video is great made me even more excited!

[@johnfalkenstine8377]

Your walk-around videos are still the best. I hope you can make some more soon.

[@filipegracioli]

J'adore vos videos! Merci pour leur partager avec nous...

[@airfloydmusic]

Lol, well thank God your videos help me cope with the loss...Please take a lot more of them, merci!

[@simonticehurst5899]

I love your videos such hussle and bustle,my wife and I visited your beautiful city last year,what a buzz Paris is,and everybody matches the traffic walking so fast every where !

[@MrApplecyber]

Nice photography. Brings back the feel from France. Just returned and missed the sounds oddly enough. Thanks for posting.

[@capedluna]

I love how some people are complaining of the city ,it's the people that makeit dirty.. Regardless it's still my top place to visit.Thank you for all these videos.

[@airfloydmusic]

Once again I just have to commend you on the quality and style of your videos...You seem to really appreciate my hometown, and being so far away form it in the U.S, it kind of makes me feel like I'm there too...

[@wesammansour1486]

Lovely video! Love Paris!❤️

[@cam9408]

looks so beautiful!!! and yes the traffic looks crazy!

[@Mxsmanic]

KZbin is filled with people who make videos that show their talking heads for 95% of the video, with only 5% of anything else. I wanted to be different, and just show the city, without any trace of my face or voice. I'm not photogenic, anyway. People watch my videos to see Paris (I think), and not to see me.

[@goedeck1]

I was right there on 24 April 2012; the weather was a little more rainy than your video! Thank you for the natural sound.

[@albertomatarrita4401]

beautiful, thank you.

[@andrer.newcomb6516]

Here in southern Arizona, our community has a thing about public funded public places committing 1% of a projects total cost being committed to art. To MY mind your opera house does NOT at all look overdone. And your entire city having various art all about ALSO looks SO APPROPRIATE!! C'est tres bien. Merci.

[@jeyapramila639]

Hope I will be soon to Paris

[@tulipwindmill]

That was great! I bought a print of the area the other day and I was just saying to my Parisian friend how,if I was to stand where the people in the print were standing today,I would get run over lol! I wasn't wrong.The print had a flower seller outside the Cafe and horse drawn carts!

[@touristinexile]

I don't know if it's a touristy area but everybody seemed to be dressed casually. I didn't necessary expect to see something like on a runway. I have friends in ny who completely redid their wardrobes when they moved there. Of course being from philadelphia I have no shame where my appearance is concerned. Interesting to see the great paris opera surrounded by busy streets and commercial establishments. thanks for the wonderful postcard

[@Mxsmanic]

It's just a little Sony consumer camera. I don't have a Steadicam (I wish!), but the image stabilization built into the camera works quite well.

[@JanMelet]

Good impression of live around the opera

[@ritzcracker]

The editing was superb. Was there more than one cameraperson? Whatever, it was just terrific. Thanks as always.

[@mistyblu4485]

Thank you for this. I cant believe that i just watched a video of traffic, like i dont have work to do. LOL

[@jenneyryan1083]

Loved it!!

[@shalombarak8130]

thanks a lot as we are planning to go there on July16/30 2012.I'm watching your video and got an idea where to go as I'm on my wheelchair again thank you very very much GOD BLESS

[@Mxsmanic]

There's already a short video on the Sorbonne (or at least the plaza in front of it) in my playlist of Paris Travelogue videos. Look for "Place de la Sorbonne."

[@Mxsmanic]

Thanks! I just use a little Sony Handycam, and I edit in Sony Vegas.

[@moofushu]

Impossible to get a bad shot in your city, every frame works very well.

[@spider5604]

Paris is the most beautiful and unique city in the world

[@mihanich]

Jasper King was*

[@rubberduggy261]

Pretty sure it was beautiful 6 years ago. But now it’s a shithole

[@mihanich]

Rubber Duggy you mean 60 years ago?

[@Mxsmanic]

Just me and my little camera. The editing was a bit hasty, I'm glad you liked it.

[@j12torts]

Imagine going through this traffic everyday for work. You won't be able to appreciate the beautiful buildings at all....everywhere is the same. We work to eat.

[@michellemobakeng5938]

+j12torts We Parisians still take time to look around at lunch time or in the evening

[@suthamaumpanich9804]

fuck

[@kiqw]

It has been about ten years since I visited this part of Paris but I did not go there at rush hour and it was much nicer without bunches of people blocking sidewalks and stairs, etc.

[@jplully]

very nice!!!

[@jaydeaster]

I like this video alot.

[@Mxsmanic]

It was recorded on Tuesday, March 27, two days ago.

[@ParisChicStyle]

What do you do in Paris for a living if you don't mind me asking :)

[@Stab1982]

Greetings from Spain, just spent my vacation in Paris and I have visited all the places you show in the videos. Seeing seems that I'm back there. I've loved. Very good job. Rotten tell you which camera you use? Steady Cam you use?

[@MarquisVonLion]

This used to be my neighborhood , it has always been a busy place, a lot more scooters though, it's kind of funny to see them zapping by ...

[@Mxsmanic]

It's a great city. If you have any questions on what you see in the videos, just ask.

[@behappy3120]

So beautiful city

[@nehuge]

its so relatively quiet compared to our rush hour

[@Pravinthapa678]

So Nice

[@beerborn]

My favorite place in Paris, after 5 different visits in years past, is Pere Lachaise cemetery. Peaceful and quiet. Nice place to take a stroll and pay a visit to Jim Morrison's grave.

[@lorenzomatteucci]

Nice!

[@Mxsmanic]

Well, it includes people walking around, nice buildings, and other stuff, too. Even the traffic is romantic in Paris.

[@Mxsmanic]

If you were born in Paris and now are compelled to live elsewhere, you have my sympathy!

[@willianlopez1633]

La bella Francia. Ciudad luz.Y La Marselleza bello himno.

[@itsjustnopinionok]

2018. I watched this in 360 view. No moving around because the video is not in 360 but still felt like i was their. Do you have any 360 videos uploaded now?

[@5281940]

wow merci

[@Mxsmanic]

In movies and TV shows, they always remove the traffic noise in post-production, but I leave it in, for maximum realism!

[@5281940]

We would love to see the person behind this camera one day :) It would be nice if you could at least say "hello" or smile to your viewers :)

[@Justmynewaccount]

Maybe it's time for Paris to do what the Dutch have done: encourage the use of the bicycle and create plenty of real, big bike lanes. Also: enforce one-way traffic for motor vehicles on certain boulevards so there is more space to drive.

[@Pfsif]

They have.

[@Mxsmanic]

This video is a good illustration of how people actually dress in Paris. The reality is … they dress much like people in any other big city. I'm not sure why people think that everyone in Paris dresses in Dior or Prada. Most of the people you see in this video are Parisians, and while they don't dress like bums, they don't dress up, either.

[@szymonnowak2208]

5 years ago... France... Imagine this place in 5 years... Apocalypse...

[@IngridAlcazarOficial]

Come to México city and talk about apocalypse. Traffic jams are more terrible than Paris, gentrification is worse and if you're racist, mi city says to Paris "hold my beer" because we are more diverse and mixed.

[@carolynborosh8451]

Looks like a great place to live and enjoy the art of liveing in the power pf life with me.

[@leegeon2096]

nice video.. loved.every.moment

[@giovannichingautheman3780]

If Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg or Cologne had the same number of inhabitants that Paris, I'm very sure those cities woudn't have this problem Paris is having. Cologne is in the middle of a large conurbation, just like Essen and Frankfurt where people flock into the downtowns of these cities and there is never a chaos like the shown here. The German cities are better designed for both habitability and mobility. Narrow streets should have not so much cars or none cars at all but tramways and bicycles and if you cannot solve this problem in the short term, then you have to put elevated pedestrian crossings like those crossing railways but in the heart of the cities. A good design can make them an attractive part of the city. The masonic design from Hausmann in the main avenues serves mostly a bunch of cars and passers-by but not a single monorail and even less for bikeways for commuters. In Paris bike riders meddle among car traffic just like in New York. It seems The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Germany, will have to advise the French governments about mobility and livability. Do it for the people of Paris because what I see here is very painful bcause with this disorder and noise makes it look like Ecuador instead of France, these people deserve to walk freely without worrying about the threat of a car killing them because some streets have not enough street lights or those have a very short time to let passers-by to cross the streets. Don't let the savagery of lower latitudes take the country for bad. Keep all of what made France a top country in the world!

[@Mxsmanic]

Paris is a place where people live, not a mechanical wristwatch.

[@willianlopez1633]

Beatiful city okay thenk you bey bey.

[@reinplat]

"This video should also help dispel the myth that Parisians dress like super models every day." My impression is that many of the women seen in this video walk with a kind of grace that would stand many models in good stead on the catwalk.

[@anamename7148]

As crazy as this will sound, I miss the sound of traffic in Paris. Use to sit a café near the Opera House, best spot for people watching.........

[@djmikeeventos]

Extremely dirty. Dirty everywhere. Horns should be banned, That is the reason i looked for this video. I just saw a TV live report and all i saw or heard was the extreme noise pollution. Paris is extremely dirty. They need to clean up.

[@suthamaumpanich9804]

shut up fuck you

[@djmikeeventos]

Sutham Aumpanich nice. Just what i spected.

[@djmikeeventos]

Blanche. The noise polution is intolerable. The bikes on the sidewalk. The motorbikes on the actual sidewalk is beyond comprehension. The trash and the cigarretes butts are pretty much everywhere. There is no trash cans anywhere. Its a mess. Need proof...? Look at the video.

[@djmikeeventos]

Blanche. Paris is NOT first city in the world. Los Angeles is first city in the word. Disneyland and its 50 million visitors per year has no competition. And their traffic is slow, but it is ORGANIZED. Its not a jungle like Europe is.

[@djmikeeventos]

Blanche. The numbers are staggerring. Los Angeles receives one hundred times more tourism than paris. LA has over 2000 touristic spots like Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Malibu, Hollywood, and 24 profesional sports teams. Like The Lakers, Dodgers, Clippers, Angels, Rams, Ducks, Trojans, Bruins and its home to Universal Studios. LA has the best climate in the world and paris has a metal tower. You cannot even remotely compare. Thank God we dont park motorcicles on the sidewalk.

[@raul8401]

[@dmytryb5858]

traffic in US much more worse than in France. much more population.

[@djmikeeventos]

Dmytry B are you comparing the biggest country in the world to ONE city...? Nice. Paris's dirtyness is second to none. Dirty. Noisy. Cluttered. Look at the SIDEWALKS.... Sidewalks are designed for people to WALK on ,not to park motorcicles.....!!!

[@dmytryb5858]

to what to can to compare? in US 350 mln population in France only 67 mln and of course PARIS is much more better in traffic, culture, ecology, business etc, than US citys with there 24 hours traffic jams in NYC for example, and pollution in LA.

[@dmytryb5858]

PARIS- 13 mln people, NYC - 20. in US much more cars and pollution.

[@dmytryb5858]

go to PARIS and than talking about it.

[@nobusmanrbbj]

There is no city in the USA that equals Paris, France. I heard it was old&dirty before I went there. What I found a magnificent city with up-to-date transportation systems. Artwork in the metro stations even. They call their past their "Patrimony" literally gifts from their forefathers and lovingly preserve that past while updating judiciously. For instance when Notre Dame turned 850yrs old it got new bells, restored pipe organ. Can't say enough good about it. Mxsmanic videos show this city at it's best. I love them. Watch Eiffel Tower fireworks also.

[@abbefaria1]

People look so slim compared to america!

Visited the city in 1789 as Arno. It was a zoo back then.

The pollution in Paris is not from French people, but from the others like me and all others not French. If I am living in France, so I must save it.

[@dmytryb5858]

Sergio Morero there are no pollution in Paris, gougeous city you are drunk

[@sergiomorero3613]

Sergio Morero paris is gourgeous always, dont lie. Good luck in best city on this shitty planet

[@sergiomorero3613]

Yes I know it is a beautiful city, and the extreme pollution is everywhere even in my country. I am just saying that pollution in France is almost from strangers not French people. I don't know it is just what I am thinking about
