I love that this is different from all of the typical Paris videos. It focuses more on the greenery in the city that is often overlooked ☺

My favourite way to see Paris is to get up early and be out by 07:00 at the latest. That's when you can explore the city on foot. The tourists are few, and you experience the real Paris of people going to work, children to school. You are most likely to make your own discoveries as you wander the streets. I like to go to the Louvre, but there are so many wonderful small museums that are less busy. I generally choose one tourist spot per day, the rest of my day going to places that are less busy often because they are off the beaten track. The best view of Paris is from the Tour Montparnasse. From the viewing gallery, you can see all of the key sights.

I took a few bus trips to Paris in high school and as a young adult. I even had my honeymoon there when I was 17. I didnt like the co-ed bathroom at McDonalds. We toured the usual Eiffels tower Louve and Arch de Triamph etc. It was an amazing city.

I remembered Vacationing in Paris was a blast back in 2008. The streets were clean and safe, people were kind and the air was fresh. Old charm everywhere. A friend recently went and commented that France no longer feels safe for her.

I think Paris also has free drinkable water available to the public. There is a guy drinking from a public fountain in the background of one of the videos.

Yep. Free cholera on tap. 😉
