Paris 5th Arrondissement - 20 in 20 Day 5 - Jardin des Plantes, Pantheon, and Rue Mouffetard

[@antoniofppr]

I just love this neighbourhood in Paris! The 5th is the best!!

[@teresasmith6076]

Am absolutely loving the 20 in 20!

[@mousecrazy1955]

I am LOVING this series. It is perfectly timed with my arrival in Paris on the 23rd of next month. Note taking commence... can't wait for all the pastry.

[@erans]

So, how was it?

[@lisamarie5774]

I'm loving the 20 in 20. This is helping me with my trip to Paris. Thanks Jay

[@elMotorolaem30]

sorry but, what is 20 in 20? is like a guide or someting like that?

[@413078291]

Jay, glad you mentioned that your guide is only 20 bucks and some of the handy info. I have a quick trip to Paris coming up and am so happy I bought the guide! Helped us plan to get the most out of the time we'll have in your city :)

[@MrEmad1955]

How did you open the guide, I paid for my guide and when I tried download it, the file would not open "damaged".

[@onejournaltravel-Jeff_Pam]

@@MrEmad1955 Did this get fixed for you? I bought it too and can see if I can help you :)

[@motorcyclehair]

Why am I always drinking espresso when I watch your videos. You videos are part of starting my day so I can stay motivated to finish my degree & get to FRANCE! All these are getting saved for future ref. You are doing a us all a GREAT SERVICE w/these videos :)

[@Darkeforce]

God, I love the Latin Quarter. I can walk around it all day. It's just beautiful. It's also home to one of my favorite restaurants in Paris, "Le Petit Pontoise". Fantastic food, warm atmosphere, and the people that run it are super kind. Man, June can't come soon enough!

[@pelegrino791]

I used to go in that garden when I was a child ! I am happy to see how it is today.

[@RonaBerryMorin]

Enjoying my morning coffee with you today! Thanks for keeping me company.

[@tatecarey6004]

My dad and I loved your guide! We used it everyday we were there! Watching this 20 in 20 is making me want to come back already!

[@IamSauce4]

Not sure if you even see these comments on older videos, but I’m a huge fan of your 20 and 20 videos. I’m addicted to travel videos and yours are some of the best!

[@Bluesbabesrv]

Didn’t you go into the Pantheon crypt? When were there was a Marie Curie exhibition that was exceptional. We, (my daughter, granddaughter and I) ended up at a chocolatier/cafe and was surprised to find out the owners were from Cannon Beach, Oregon, we live in Portland. There is also a library nearby that we took a guided tour of. The only way to see inside unless you are a student. Geez, I 💗 Paris!

[@dave928]

Which cafe?

[@kathykallas5629]

Yay!!!! 500th SI!!!! Really enjoyed this vlog today. Music very fun and young feeling. Awesome archs and columns and VIEW from the top of the Pantheon....gorgeous!

[@susandhersey]

I love the 5th so much! There are two places that I kind of fell in love with while we stayed there. One was the Abbey Bookstore. It’s a tiny little place that makes you feel like you’re in a shoppe in Diagon Alley. All of the books in there look like they are going to topple on you in these narrow little aisles. And second is the plaza outside Sorbonne. It has a few hotels, restaurants, a tabac.... and a Gap LoL.. but the low fountains framing the entrance to the university is a gorgeous view.

[@JaySwanson]

Diagone Alley Paris sounds great 😂

[@thierrymoreau9824]

Merci pour la visite du 5eme. Certainement mon arrondissement préféré. Tu m'as donné plus qu'envie de visiter le Panthéon, avec le pendule de Foucault et la vue superbe de la haut. Bravo pour ce vlog, et cette idée de 20/20. Quel investissement humain intelligent qui donne du sens à l'existence, tout en développant cette belle idée dans la joie de vivre ! Il faut se rencontrer un de ces jours dans un de tes cafés préférés ! Moi je suis souvent dans le 10éme, la ou se trouve la galerie en j'expose régulièrement. 13 rue de l'échiquier. M Bonne Nouvelle. Salut Jay.

[@martinpitts3861]

6:05 The hostel I stayed at in Paris, Young and Happy, is right across the street here, out of shot. I loved that place. I was there in 2000.

[@JaySwanson]

[@hungrysoles]

Hi Jay. I've really got hooked on your videos on You Tube. You answer a lot of questions I don't have to ask my friend who lived in Paris in the 1970s. I've been following your whereabouts with a slightly dated Michelin map of the city. You are so interesting, charming and funny. You're like a great friend to hang around with and have great times.with. I'm watching your earlier videos to see Paris as its best. They really get my mind off the pandemic. Your friends are a lot of fun. also, You show a lot of those special places only a resident would know. That's how I got to see New York City. I like your virtual tours because it like being there and not do all that walking. I'm interested in history, architecture ,literature and lots of things.so I'd appreciate a lot you show. You do look better with the full beard and should leave it grown out with an occasional trimming. I grew mine to save my face from constantly shaving a tough beard. I've started to what your videos on the Paris neighborhoods and I'll probably end up watching all of them. I didn't know you were riding that wheel device because I thought you were riding a bicycle. I also enjoy an occasional beer. What is the difference between French beer and American beer? Two things we have in Pittsburgh is a chapel which is a copy of Sainte Chapelle and a mansion that is a copy of the Grand Trianon at Versailles. Good luck on your writing and your task of becomig a dual citizen. Sincerely, Tim.

[@petitesilvervixen7972]

High five for nerddom! And wow, you had THE perfect day for the view from the Pantheon. Lovely to be able to look out across the city on a day like that. And another amazing church - just love that architecture.

[@KimClark61]

Loving the 20 in 20 Jay! Great job!

[@HeatherShineify]

Enjoying the 20 in 20! Wish this was here before I went to Paris!

[@thistlenstar]

A few years back we rented an apartment on Rue Gracieuse, very close to the Place Monge and Rue Mouffetard. It's a great neighborhood, and the Place Monge market is wonderful if you have access to a kitchen and like to cook. It's a great thing to look out your window and see one of the iconic Parisian sites, but, at a certain point, a taste of the quotidian Parisian life becomes equally attractive. (That's one reason this vlog is so appealing.) For example, there was a vide-grenier in the neighborhood during our stay. Last year I reread Le père Goriot in French and was surprised to learn that our little apartment was very close to where Goriot lived. Balzac's description of the area is not complimentary.

[@crpsalazar]

Your 20 in 20 series and the Spring 2019 update to the guide are really helping me plan out next week!!! :D

[@sampeters2412]

Update to the guide??

[@historianlaura]

1:32 I love that park :) wow that tap house! Thank you for explaining the pendulum clearly :) I believe that the Pantheon also has urban bees and I love st etteinne and the jupes are on point. Absolutely loving 20 in 20 clearly I love the 5th as much as 14th 😸

[@JaySwanson]

I missed out on the bees!

[@historianlaura]

The really good news is 2000 of Notre Dames bees that lived on the sacristies roof survived the fire 🐝

[@Book0fRevelations]

Great job, of all the times I’ve been to Paris I’ve never been inside the pantheon. Looking forward to the 6th hope you hit the Luxembourg Gardens. I’ve been to 40 some countries and that spot is still my most favourite place in the world ❤️ I’ll never forget the first time I was in that garden watching children set off the little sailboat in the middle. I’ll be back in Paris May5th, watching your vids to find something new to explore instead of the things I’ve hit up dozens of times over the years

[@kerrin-gaihofstrand4313]

Good one....watching late today .....see you tonight xx Kerrin and Leia xx

[@joebrouillard565]

Thanks Jay....great coverage of this very nice arrondissement.

[@Stewart.disney1]

Congrats on 500. Can't wait to get some when we are in Paris

[@annainaspen]

Congratulations on your 500th invader!! Holy smokes, you had never been in Square René Viviani! I love that little park. Besides the great view of the Nôtre Dame, there are some of the carved stones from Nôtre Dame in there. The oldest tree in Paris is in there. Next time go to the back of the park and they saved an old well. It’s another pretty photo spot. In front of the church next to the park there are old stones from the Roman road. That church is the second oldest church in Paris. When I was in Paris in January I went to Circus Bakery. I love Italian style cappuccino’s. For me Circus Bakery had the best cappuccino I’ve had in Paris. That cinnamon bun is fantastic! I don’t like sourdough either but their breads are fantastic. They are making pizzas in the afternoon and evenings now as well. I liked them so much I was stopping by twice a day. I was staying in an apartment next to Odette that had a view of the Nôtre Dame so I was just about 30 seconds from Circus Bakery.

[@JaySwanson]

So much to see!!😁

[@JaySwanson]

And yeah circus is amazing

[@MyPurple10]

Loving the 20/20. Wish you had these videos before my visit this past March. Well it’ll surely come in handy on my next visit. Congrats on hitting 500!

[@terriberryhill8202]

Congrats on leveling up in nerddom!!👾 Missed not having your vlog first thing yesterday!! I just watched some older ones. Have a Wonderful Day!!😁

[@KarinLynnBates]

Lovely! So much to like in the 5th. One thing of note: you wheeled right past Église Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre- my favorite church in Paris. Around Christmastime, they have the most beautiful, intimate concerts inside. I highly recommend. I’m glad you got to wheel a bit through the Jardin des Plantes. It is a really amazing place to walk around. I love the Cluny, too. Good stuff! 👍🏼😊👍🏼

[@dave928]

Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre was closed today :( Everyone’s schedule messed up for Easter

We stayed at the Monte Cristo right below Rue Mouffetard and had a fantastic stay! Also, used the Paris Pass for the Pantheon, but had no idea we could have gone upstairs!

That little park that you were in also has the oldest tree in Paris which was planted in 1601.

[@JaySwanson]

Intéressant !

[@Snooze_Addict]

I love sourdough!

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

Wow I have wayyy too much fun when I get your daily vlog :) So excited to go up so high in the Pantheon, and I LOVE that pendulum... You got so many awesome shots/views (high up!), love the lines of trees in the Jardin des Plantes, so beautiful there. It is different when you must walk vs zipping on the wheel, have you ever taken the wheel when you travel? We saw a couple in a show in the Hague (tv) and one of them said, it was only 3-1/2 hrs fast train to Paris! One of the reasons I love Europe! (One of so many)... Merci for the 5th arrondissement Jay!

Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Co. bookstore that Hemingway frequented was closed because of the German occupation of Paris during WWII. It never reopened. George Whitman opened this one in the 50s, and named it for the original.

My family and I arrived to Paris yesterday. I damn near jumped for joy when I saw my first space invader! Haha! We are staying in the 15th arrondissement. Any suggestions for this area? I'll be keeping an eye out for you!

[@GreginND]

I love the fifth and always stay there when I visit. Incidentally, the only place in the world I’ve had food poisoning was not China, not India but a restaurant at Place de la Contrescarpe! Beware the mussels.

[@thedavidguy01]

Sorry to hear that. Food poisoning while traveling is terrible. I got food poisoning from a restaurant in Rome from pancetta. The late Anthony Bourdain wrote that he would never eat mussels at a restaurant unless he knew the chef personally. On the other hand, I've eaten mussels in dozens of restaurants in multiple countries and never had a problem. I plan to eat mussels next month "en Bretagne." Wish me luck.

We completely missed the 5th, sadly. There was simply not enough time. In fact, I believe we did a lot. But definitively there is still a lot pending in our list, so I'll be planning a trip back soon.
