Strasbourg France Is Like A Fairytale Lets Take A Walk Together PLUS I Climb The Tallest Church

[@MajinOthinus]

I always find it funny how Americans are so amazed at pedestrian zones lol.

[@phillipureno8185]

To me this is the type of video you do. Though I am a Disney History Buff myself and was a Disney Imagineer, life is more than Disney. The way you document your adventures is a real view of the countries and places you go. It's not a high budget History Channel show. Though that is fine and I watch the History Channel too, you tend to bring it to a personal level. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work and safe travels. Hopefully, I can meet up with you in Disneyland as I go very often since I live close by. Thanks again Chris. Oh, and thanks Amanda and Miles for allowing us to share time with your husband/dad. Oh, another idea.....lol...I have lots....it would be cool to have Miles do a short review of his favorite ride or adventure. Thanks again....Phil

[@garycottle7864]

I know your focus is on theme parks, and specifically Disney, but I wouldn't mind seeing more videos like this. I enjoyed it. Give Rick Steves some competition. :)

[@PorchPotatoMike]

I had a very dear friend who was an enormous Francophile and spent a lot of time in France. One of his favorite comparisons was, “France is a country of one religion and a thousand cheeses. America is a country of a thousand religions and one cheese.”

[@bobsmith-wg9fz]

its got the point that video like this is all I have to make it one more week

[@b3jojo]

"There's no wrong culture, just different", so true Chris!!!

[@puddin6796]

That Church is absolutely stunning!

[@Neytram]

It sure is ! We in Strasbourg likes it so much that we refer to it by "Maman" which litterally translate into Mom/Mommy lol

[@highqualityorangejuice420]

French mfs are down horendous calling buildings mommy lmao​@@Neytram

[@caisis2]

Wow!!! That was AWESOME!!!!! If "this" isn't the "kind of videos" you do, then PLEASE DO MORE!!!! We LOVE these adventures of yours, and let's be honest --> MANY of us are "living vicariously" through you/your family/these videos! Many of us will never get to where you go, for ALL of the reasons you mentioned and more! This was truly a blessing to see. And I loved the literal "manpower pulley" you showed us, along with the view! 100% agree with you about travel: we always feel safe, partly because we keep personal belongings belt UNDER our clothes! And yes, when somewhere else, TRY new things and recognize it's not "our" way of doing things so best not to impose OUR way! Love to you all, and may you continue to have safe travels and journeys! Look forward to the rest of your 2024 European Theme park tour!

[@marjielalonde3875]

I am enjoying this series so much, and Strasbourg is absolutely beautiful! Love the architecture! I think it`s so wonderful that you travel like this, and what an amazing education for Miles. It`s so good for kids to learn different cultures; as you said one isn`t better than the other; just different. If more people had that attitude the world would be a better place! Love from Canada.

[@stu3379]

Chris, although this may not be the usual type of video you post, it shows you as a renaissance man, of sorts. Always polite, respectful, and observant of others and their culture. Safe travels to all 3 of you. I'm enjoying the trip :)

[@vincevdijk7430]

I am Dutch living in France, first you go to my home park Efteling, and now you go to Strasbourg which is 25 minutes away from where I live. Stop following me LOL Great videos of your trip, I love it!

[@KellySmolen]

Chris you might think not many people are watching these videos, but your explanation and narration are stellar. I got to know PPP from my love of all things Disney, but you are truly gifted and talented at what you do….maybe producing documentaries are in your future??? Thank you for making the world a better place and making me smile every day. Hugs to you, Amanda, and Miles. ❤❤❤

[@sylvie797]

Strasbourg is so picturesque!!! Especially at Christmas time when they have the Christmas markets. Definitely recommend!

[@heatherangellight8558]

I love your varied videos! We also watch Walking Alice who just walks through places around the world with no talking and it is fun to be on the walk. Nice to see you traveling through Europe in this series! You are also amazing!!

[@rachellewitt3163]

I lived in Strasbourg for 2 months. I loved the people, the food, and the history. I'm glad you got to see that beautiful city!

[@sharh6782]

Enjoying sharing your adventures so much, thank you for taking us along! 🤗

[@BoopsNstuff]

You’re basically doing the same content of education and walking us through places we yearn to travel to! So keep making all the types of videos, we will constantly eat these up! Thanks KZbin dad! We appreciate you and your adorable family!!!☺️🥳☁️

[@LindaSolis-b9s]

I love walking through foreign cities. I watch a lot of "walking" KZbinrs that do just that! So yes, I loved this video and enjoyed hearing your thoughts too! 😀

[@scottmacdowall527]

My Family loves all of the videos that you do, they are always appreciated and it lifts our spirits up thank you.

[@kotor610]

As a certified person living in a place. Doing "authentic" things that locals do consist of getting groceries, going to the handful of restaurants I like, going to the movies or a park, or just stay in and watch a tv show or movie.

[@BellePullman]

"Do the touristy things!" a lot of the time, there's a good reason they're the things tourists travel to do! Sure there's people out there trying to take advantage of gullible tourists but if you go to Paris for the first time, go up the Eiffel Tower! I'm quite a fan of the hop-on hop-off tourist buses in a new city, they give you a good overview and help you get your bearings. Yes they're only giving you the shallowest of tours but it makes a good starting point. Also IDK so much about other cities, but in London on a nice summer day you see the parks packed with people - just as many locals as tourists. A lot of those "touristy things" are fun things locals do too!

[@321mom]

They close 4-6 to have dinner times with their own families👍Very common in European culture❤️

[@kayclark4406]

I really appreciate you sharing your travels. Im so impressed with what a great traveler Miles is! He is a real trooper!! Hats off to great parents raising a great little boy!

[@jeffjackson4150]

Went to Christmas market in Strasbourg in Dec 2022. Beautiful city.

[@AllanNightingale]

Captain Jack! 14:12 😃 What an amazing place. Thank you for this video. Love it 😀

[@MaryTatarelli]

The architecture on that cathedral is mind-blowing. It is so unbelievably beautiful. I wish we had more architecture like that in the states. What a cool town. Thank you for sharing it with us

[@debnjazz2012]

Your travel videos are great! Just as good as your Disney videos, and makes me want to travel! Thank you Chris, Amanda and Miles for sharing your journeys with us.

[@juliakees7803]

I love these videos. I'm glad you are able to travel to Europe and bring us along with you. Thank you

[@dlrpmagic]

Have been there too! Nice atmosphere and the Cathedral is amazing from the outside. And of course the Clocks shops near by

[@Lil_Homie.]

The many adventures of Provost Park Pass, Thanks for sharing

[@lamartya.4042]

Chris, my friend. You keep thanking us for joining you. But i keep telling you, that you three are the ones allowing us to join you. Whether be it a Disney park, or other theme park, or the castles you showed us last year, or today, showing us parts of Strasbourg. Crippled lonely old men like me will never have the opportunity to see all this without your taking the time to show us, and tell us about what you are showing us. For instance, i have found out that if i lived back then, i would have starved, because i would not fit between those poles to get into the market square. Its also fun to join you on your travel days. Thankyou, Love, Uncle Martin

[@drumphil21]

This was awesome! Thank You! That Cathedral was HUGE and very beautiful. The architecture was just...wow! Look how the steps are worn down at 17:55 from all the people going up and down over the years. Amazing! And that dark house on the corner to the left at 6:33 reminded me of the Leaky Cauldron from Harry Potter.

[@RaechelSykes]

Thank you for this video Chris. Great video. People need to not worry about what is non touristy vs touristy. Both can be amazing. You do you ❤

[@BelindaFranco-c6z]

CHRIS, the buildings are just amazing. I love the architecture. Thanks for sharing. Good luck and climbing all those stairs by the end of this trip you’re gonna be physically fit 😄. As usual CHRIS thanks for the encouraging words. You don’t know what that means to me and others.❤️

[@semper.videre]

7:39 this is very common for cathedrals of this time and age. Because most people were alliterate, they had to be taught with images. So the cathedrals had central elements of the believe engraved on them. For example the central element is about the main events in the life of Christ. And all around are other smaller "images" adding other stories and knowledge that people should get to know and remember, when they see them. On the cathedral in Freiburg im Breisgau the main element is about judgment day and the virtues of living a "good" life or damnation of living against the moral code of that medieval time.

[@rubenl2518]

So nice that you had the opportunity to visit Strassbourg with Amanda and Miles. Actually, the Disney animators used that region for inspiration for movies like Beauty & the Beast (the towns of Eguisheim and Colmar south from Strassbourg are direct inspirations). To give you a heads up about Parc Astérix: This theme park is based on the highly popular comic-strips of Astérix by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. The comic is about a tiny village in Gaul (the name of France in ancient times) that successfully resists against the Roman occupation under Julius Caesar. The heroes of the series are warrior Astérix and his friend Obélix (who sells huge stones called menhirs). The village can resist thanks to the magic potion by its druid Panoramix that gives them invincible powers. Many of the books deal with the Romans' new plans to conquer the village. Or how Astérix and Obélix help other tribes (in various countries) against the Romans. Usually, the comic has lots of references to current-day affairs, but is also in many ways accurate in depicting the Roman times. Part of the comic is the many puns, for instance in the names of the Gauls (all ending with -ix) or the Romans (ending with -us). Parc Astérix opened its doors in 1989, three years before Disneyland Paris. The Parc these days revolves about two themes: laughter (for the humor of the comic-strips) and heroism (show strength and courage like the Gauls). That’s why you’ll find many thrill rides in the park and lots of humorous details. The park now has clear zones that refer to specific adventures of Astérix, like the Roman area, the Gaulish village, Egypt, Greece and the Vikings. An absolute must is to book the Gaulish Banquet (Banquet Gaulois). Every Astérix adventure in the comic-books ends up with a festive meal in the village. At Parc Astérix they close down the village in the evening for a special meal in the open air, with freshly prepared dishes and all typically French. It’s a lot of fun and a full experience with characters. Miles will love it. Have wonderful time in Parc Astérix!

[@croatiansamurai7361]

Don't forget to shut the door in the tower.

[@sethcarlow8363]

well this is awesome,wonderful,amazing, interesting,wow,epic.

[@CabFamilyAdventures]

I love it!! I traveled all over the world in my early and mid 20's and my dad had always taught me to eat things the way they are supposed to be eaten first. So you know how it tastes and then you can adjust it after. And I took that advice into traveling and it changed my life. I tried the craziest stuff. And I don't regret it. Miss traveling internationally so much. Hope to do it again one day

[@SueDisney73]

When you signed off the first time I literally said WAIT i want to see the top of the cathedral ( obviously didn't read tag line) I enjoy that Amanda & Miles are always ready for whatever adventure - you bring such positivity and joy - even on bad travel days - anywhere you go we want to go too

[@Ed-R]

Hi Chris. I love when you do videos like this. Everything comes across so natural, it feels we are there with you, just talking with friends (PPP Fam). That is one of many reasons why you are amazing. Hopefully you, Amanda and Miles are enjoying the trip. Stay Safe and keep having Fun on your Adventures. 👋🏻

[@eydienoteddie]

It was refreshing to see this video. Something a little different from theme parks is nice to see. I was in France last November and didn’t get to visit Strasbourg. It’s on my list for my next visit, I hope sooner than later. I totally agree with having the “when in Rome” mentality when traveling. Not only do you get to experience new things, but it shows you have respect for the local culture and people.

[@beckbudd10]

I went to Strasbourg in 2019 right before the pandemic. I loved it so much!!! It is so beautiful!!! It was fun to watch your video and have all those memories!!! Thank you!!

[@angelikaobradovich9267]

I really enjoyed seeing this! Thank you for sharing!

[@Aisha.The.Traveler]

Chris, you’re a natural Rick Steves. 🙂

[@skippermatt7939]

We need a positivity and affirmation supercut. Some people out there are going through a lot, and thirty minutes to an hour of hearing those words could be a big help.

[@ruthdean4766]

I am so glad you got here! It is such a beautiful city!! That Architecture style is called French Mansard. One of my favorite styles! Its also in a lot of buildings in Paris. I am happy you are there and sharing this city for us! ❤ Been loving your videos!

[@wendyworobey9363]

I so loved walking around Strasbourg with you. This is a city I would probably never visit, but to see it has opened my eyes to another opportunity to visit when I eventually make it to France. Thank you, Chris! Strasbourg is beautiful!!!

[@MeganSmith-ly2cl]

Great video! Good to see the sorts of environments that the parks are in.

[@kathryncargill3015]

These have been the BEST videos. Many thanks. You are taking me to new AND familiar places.

[@CulinarydelightswithGwen]

Thank you so much for doing these videos- we love them- exploring places with you through your eyes, is a lot of fun! Keep safe and have fun!

[@Bryan-l2z]

I like the city tour videos too. It’s cool to see in fact would have liked to see you on the train and in the beautiful cathedral

[@betsydoc3628]

Traveled around French countryside last year and found most villages have a carousel in the center of town. cute. I loved your description of the two different types of architecture there.

[@aisharuiz3016]

Loving these videos! So educational and mesmerizing. I don't think I'll ever make these types of trips. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Please keep sharing! Any content you share is wonderful 🤗

[@DavidBouchard-i2d]

😊 some times you get lost and there are people that will help you get back to the place you are looking for. Just have to know their direction like words left ,right.and straight. I had to find the train station to get back to post and it was easy.

[@dianenorton1811]

I am very much enjoying your videos from Europe and I love that you are sharing the non theme park parts of your trip. It is lovely to see you exploring different places. Please do more videos like this when you travel?

[@WWatch48]

Totally my kind of vibe. Quiet, and the only business comes from people going on a relaxing stroll.

[@lalalauraann]

I ALWAYS appreciate seeing a little bit of your day no matter what it is you're doing. Thank you for sharing so much of this trip with us :) Safe travels!

[@alliekuma4234]

Omg I loved all the names carved in stone 😍

[@SakiGirl67]

Wow that place is magical. Loved the video thank you for sharing it with us. The cathedral is amazing ❤

[@irenedem3863]

You got me with the pep talk, i really needed that. Thank you.

[@tracywarn2862]

i love when you do travel videos. i may never get to travel to these places so i love to see them! Thank you so much! Hi to amanda and Miles too! 😊

[@CharHardy82]

I absolutely love all of your videos like this! It feels like we're all walking around with you and it is so calming and fun! I feel like I learn something new from every video!

[@julieross193]

Great video. Love the architecture. Miles is one lucky son to have you and Amanda for parents. He will be so worldly when he grows up. 😊

[@maryburton3315]

I love seeing new places. Thank you for sharing these beautiful places with us.

[@Cherb123456]

Thank you! Enjoyed the watch!

[@jubipants]

As someone who has only ever left the country for the first time very recently I’m loving these videos. It helps me as I look into other potential places to travel internationally. There’s a good chance I’ll be able to go to Disneyland Paris sometime soon! I also have very bad travel anxiety and seeing these places ahead of time in videos helps me a ton! Thank you!! 😊

[@rizz917]

There is so much history in that country. My girlfriend is there right now, she toured the grounds of Napoleons mansion/estate. Also visited his tomb. I’m so glad you share these videos chris. They’re awesome. It’s much appreciated.

[@marcymcvay-smith7541]

I probably will not be able to visit those places, so it's fun to watch you go through these places.

[@busylifechilllife4026]

I have always wanted to visit Strasbourg. Thanks for sharring.

[@Adam-gm6of]

Oh wow, that is one place I want to go to SO SO BAD, the Hunchback of Notre Dame had a huge influence on me and I hope one day, I get to go there. So many stairs but WORTH IT. I remember doing something like that in Tokyo, at Mount Fuji, took me a while to get up there but at the top was amazing view and worth it. Hope one day I will get to go there. I want to see the Notre Dame with my owe eyes.

[@ritasmith3403]

I’ve been to Strasbourg, it’s very nice. We stopped there, or near there, on a Viking cruise. We had lunch. It’s very pretty.

[@Iris-zq5mq]

I was wondering if this is a stop on the Viking River cruise. I was lightly researching river cruises a couple months ago and this area looked familiar.

[@articowl2]

These kind of videos remind me of the research imagineers do for a movie. They will go to a country for months to learn of the culture and art, etc before tackling making a movie that incorporates that country. I love learning about other places in the world since I’m home bound with health problems. Thanks for all you do.

[@nancyannrhinehart4718]

Chris ... You always bring a smile to my face and I love what surprises you have for all of us. The one structure on the right you were going da, da, da, da, am not sure the architecture but the building on the right is called a Mansard style roof design. With health situations, traveling outside USA will not be possible for me due to kidney transplant (24 years ago). Thank you so much for giving of yourself after each video you bring.

[@TaniaBlackmore]

Chris I love your Disney/amusement park videos, but I also love your travel videos. I could not agree more with your travel philosophy ❤ and I love that you learn some facts and history to tell us, which I think shows a deep respect of the place and culture you are visiting. The other reason is your demeanour is just so personable, and you are so natural in your presentation. Just excellent all round. ❤❤ it!!

[@gregcolbert1634]

Kind of like a blend of Frontierland with all the changes of architecture and New Orleans Square with so many little alleyways. That Cathedral is amazing

[@sonnylatchstring]

20:06 Graffiti avant la lettre

[@PhilfreezeCH]

If you look at old pictures of US cities, they also used to be like this. Walkable American cities were paved over by choice, this can be reversed, people just need to want it.

[@starks1974]

I plan to do a Rhine river cruise and this is one of the stops. They also have these great canals, plus the German and French food fusion is supposed to be amazing in that area.

[@teenasuzuki2514]

I do hope you and your family went inside the Strasbourg cathedral and were able to see and enjoy the beautiful stained glass windows and relics within. I’m a member of the North Coast Chorale out of Crescent City, California and back in 2015 we did a European Concert Tour that included performing during a mass in the Strasbourg cathedral. Truly a once in a lifetime event 😇😌

[@BaronDiacre]

You should do more of those videos as u tend to travel a lot, maybe a secondary channel. love to see my hometown paris seeing by Provost Park Pass

[@angiekoukouvanis2333]

Thanks have a safe trip.

[@BAFarls]

I love your summer touring. People here, should be honored and believe we too place a big part of these adventures. The patron people and subscribers make this content possible. So everyone gets a chance to see the world through your lenses. It’s simply wonderful. Thank you so much. I’ve traveled through Europe myself. But haven’t seen places you’re sharing with us. I’m so happy. 👍❤️ I wonder if you’re going to Tivoli Gardens. I’ve been. It’s in Copenhagen. I’m serious, it’s the amusement park Walt Disney got the spark ( the dream) to invent Disneyland. Again thank you. I can’t wait to see if “grown up” miles continues to hold travel enthusiast as his parents set the mark in these early years.❤️

[@bwhiteman1]

Great vlog! You should see the youtube vlogs when it's Christmas market time....the most beautiful and the buildings are amazing in the snow....I hope one day you, Amanda and Myles can visit during the Christmas market and show us!

[@donaldgreene8129]

Hello Chris! Thank you for your encouragement today. I am having major neck surgery on 7/3. So if I make it through this, I will not be able to travel anymore. Thank you and your family for what ya'll do. It makes things like this a little easier.

[@chitchatpaddiwack5638]

Vice-Versa 2! Second thing I noticed….People aren’t buried in their phones. Americans are in such a rush! We need to settle the heck down.

[@nas4apps]

Asterix!! And Obelix!! They are the authentic comic characters of Northern France, France and neighboring countries. Film the rail-experience too svp ;). Great closure - great stairway too, Elburg may have made a good rehearsal!

[@jenniferbrown8305]

My favorite thing to do in new cities, Europe especially, is a free walking tour. Most major cities, and some of the smaller ones, have them and it helps you get a nice lay of the land. The other best thing to do is a food tour; so cool and well worth it, especially if the food is really unfamiliar.

[@courdeleon]

This was a great video! It seemed very familiar as it is still showing us where you are just like you do with Disney videos! I so enjoyed the history, it made me google and find out more! The Cathedral broke ground in 1015 and completed in 1439!!! The ending walk up the Cathedral was perfect!!😍🤩🥰

[@mheltzel1079]

Dear Provost family. Parc Asterix is ​​based on the famous Asterix and Obelix comic books. They are hilarious. A famous quote is: "Ils sont fous, ces Romains" (phonetic: eel son foo, ses Roamens) (weird boys, those Romans). I think that you as Americans often think: "Ils sont fous, ces Gauls" (weird boys, those French). But you adapt fantastic. (just another piece of information that no one wants) (btw. I treasure my albums for more than 30 years)

[@radventure4231]

I loved history, history video's would be cool to watch

[@AndreasScout]

Park Asterix is based on the conflict between gauls and Roman empire. the Gauls always win because of the magic potion their druid cooks up. there are a lot of comics. The "french looking building " had the label "musee de ville stassbourgh" meaning "museum of the city of Strassburg". The EU parliament stays 6 months of the year in Brussels Belgium and then 6 months in Strassburg. that means that everyone ( politicians, support staff, cabinet workers of said politicians) move from Brussels to Strassburg. Usually when they are in town the prices for rooms skyrocket like it isnt even funny. Great videos! Everyone should broaden their perspective. Like grandpa said "they can take everything from you expect what you accomplished and visited". Memories, places you visited in the past, the people you were with and so on, they can't take that away from you. Just... be careful you hear. Especially Paris is having an explosion of violence lately.

[@lonepop1]

Wow! In June 1969, my wife and I climbed to the top of that cathedral in Strasbourg!

[@victoriastein7150]

Chris, that Cathedral was designed and built in 1270’s by Erwin Von Steinbach. The most incredible of my families ancestors.

[@mmaez6146]

Wow, that was high! Nice view, thanks for sharing.

[@j5dmac]

Enjoy these a lot! Thank you for doing them and including us on these trips.

[@wayneumbach9413]

Pretty neat architecture. A little too much stone for me, but it still looks neat!
