Quinze Vingts & Coulée Verte - The Worst Way To Say 300

[@elebelle51]

Hi Jay. Those brick buildings are public housing from the 1930s and immediately post-WW2. Quinze-vingts is the eye hospital. And Hopital St. Antoine is the place to go for blood disorders. One of my daughters lived in the 11th for years and another daughter lives in the 12th -- in fact I think you walked down the passage Gatbois on your way to the station, where she used to live. She's now closer to Bercy. We used to live (40+ years ago) in the 13th. And our son is in his 4th place in the 14th.

I loved the line “if I were in Berlin I’d be happy.” LOL!!!! Totally get it.

[@KarinLynnBates]

I really enjoyed the music in this one, and I didn’t know that the Coulée Vert was the inspiration for the Highline! Nice! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@anns390]

Music was a nice - I was thinking it was like an "old school Jay video".

[@amihameed83]

This was trip brought back lot of memories. I spend a whole afternoon around this area on my last trip to paris. I totally get your sentiments about the brick buildings next to the coulee vert. When your eyes have been spoilt by the beauty of haussmannian architecture, nothing compares. Gare de Lyon has a special place in my heart as we made so many trips from there to the south of france, italy, spain and switzerland. Looking forward to more in this series.

[@michaelbrennan5433]

Loving this new series. You are the Patreon Saint of Paris! Think you a romantic view of Paris and anything little different in the architecture won't fit in your vision. Be well and safe

[@MaxRyan777]

Love Coulee Verte. Always go there and then we got ours here in NYC!

[@Palm.Trees.In.Paris.]

Wow Jay! I had to go deep digging on Google Maps to find that Papa Smurf invader that popped up but I can't wait to see it in person. Thanks for the walking tour.

[@MillerPETRA]

You were right near Place D'Aligre, with it's great Marché couvert which I stumbled upon many moons ago. It's just about 3 streets over from the workout/playground where you took the elevator down. Will be in Paris again next week, just for 3 nights, on our way to Bretagne.

[@ofasho44]

The beat at 8:30 had my head bumping, especially at the 8:59 mark....nice sounds per usual!

I'm Vietnamese and even I haven't had banh mi in a long time...now I'm craving.

[@carolallen8126]

Paris has sooo many churches thanks for taking me to church all the time jay 👍 😊😊❤️❤️💕❤️💓👏🏾

[@lianithomasprewitt2428]

I like the different types of architecture within a city. What's the point of all the buildings looking the same? There would be no need to go anywhere else in the city because you've seen it already where you are. Paris, as other major cities, is growing and living and the changes reflect that. Of course, I don't think all architecture is beautiful, usually just functional, but the contrast can be appealing or at least interesting. I guess I try to fight the temptation to stereotype a city based on what I think it should look like and try to enjoy what it is and what it may become (eg. the Steinway Tower in NYC...hate it, but it's now there, so it is what it is.)

Lucy reminds me of an English Sara Dietchy! (Sara's a great KZbinr if you're not familiar.) Positive vibrations from overcast and chilly Ireland! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️

[@ofasho44]

I see the resemblance!

[@janeth4982]

My old neighborhood! I was excitedly yelling at my iPad to tell you where to go to get fantastic food and see awesome shops!

[@lohphat]

There was a Le Train Bleu in NYC (in Bloomingdales) which closed two years ago, opened in 1979. Not holograms, just laser heating of the pexiglass at a certain focal point.

[@gailalbers1430]

for me the Coulee Vert is one of the things that makes Paris so special ( among the myriad things)

[@roxanemeunier810]

Im glad i didnt choose to stay in the 12th last time i came to Paris . Jay , you should have asked St Antoine, whilst you were in the church, to help you find your stolen goods. He is the patron saint of lost or stolen things. He is one of my favourite saints

[@paulhowlett8151]

Jay, You really don't want to walk through that tunnel under the Gare de Lyon. It just goes to the other side of the Gare de Lyon. I had the displeasure of walking through that tunnel because for some strange reason we exited the Gare de Lyon on other side of the station and used the tunnel to get back on the correct side of the station. We were tired and had a lot of problems that night with the local AirBnB accommodation.

[@kmichalene]

I’m surprised to see that sandwich on a baguette. I’m used to seeing them on a round puffy bun.

[@Vesalius4us]

Another excellent production Jay, “mit musik inspiriert von Kraftwerk und architektur (11:45) inspiriert von Bauhaus” ! Nice beats for cool streets!

[@sherali62]

Afternoon Jay bit late me but then best late than never

[@olivierolivier6080]

15 20 is dating from middle age (20 because we have 10 fingers + feet), this explains why the metric system was made up. We still say 4 - 20 (for 80) You say 'a dozen of eggs" (why on earth 12 ?), there are 12 hours (originally, the french revolutionnaire broke down the day into 10 hours (but this idea did not catch on), you say a quarantine (from quarantaine, 40 days). The starting of all this is the number of fingers.

[@gailalbers1430]

Jay, is les Etoiles in south-eastern Ivry-sur-Seine outside of the scope of 8/80 ? I would love to see a walk through look of that 😻

[@AnitasDreams]

A lovely video.

[@lauriecalery8801]

Jay, thank you for this interesting tour. It brings up memories for me of standing in front of that gare smoking and being approached by an older gypsy man who i ended up screaming at for him to give Me some euros then his wife had to come rescue him from me. It was kinda funny. Loving the series. Yes, holograms are creepy. Cheers! 😎

[@gladysmomentosfugaces]

Rue Crémiux 😍. You must take pictures there 📷

[@adriennecruz3843]

Swiss numbers also confusing -- nonante, etc.

[@geoffh2560]

"did they trap these people's souls to make this"? haha

[@aeolia80]

I've seen a show there, Cinderella with the Paris Opera Ballet. It's ok, lol. I worked at a concert hall while in university that was especially known for its acoustics (have performed there too, and in other theatres/concert halls in NorCal), so I'm a bit familiar with how acoustics in a concert hall work, and eh, Bastille isn't necessarily the best I'd say, lol

[@HeyitsDeirdre]

great video

[@SinAlameda]

I need to figure out how to move to France.

[@musicvibes7017]

Are all the houses in Paris small?

[@ec8927]

It’s nice to see some modern architecture in Paris; Paris isn’t a big museum.

[@rc9272]

It's not so much that those buildings are fugly, is that they are out of place, like most street art and graffiti in big cities.

[@andreawelsh4497]

Hi Jay, go to Club Crémiux on Instagram for the witty comments the residents make about the action in their street.

[@JaySwanson]

It's a fun account to follow!

[@omoshiroii]

jay check the new dji osmo pocket 2

[@gregjohnson720]

What exactly is the boundary area?

[@Dyalla]

Here before Casey uses the music 😎

[@ofasho44]

Great video Jay, you have a lot of female friends, which is cool.

[@BF4LCLJG]

you don't pronounce de "t" in vingt :)

[@1BigBucks1]

oh right, the Instagram street 📷

[@lucysansom9739]

Doesn't everyone have a dog voice?! #whosagoodboy 🐶😄

[@judyt.5702]

Why is that your least favorite church?

[@christinelachance8012]

...I think that Jay thought it was not ornate enough...He’s into “smells and bells”...

[@raymondmyford]

Mmmmmmm...Pizza Julia

[@janepilkington9977]

It's nice to see something with a bit of personality . Not Haussmanian.

[@beabravo6759]

Do not fucking breathe on sketchy public elevators during a pandemic. Cheers from your disabled follower
