I loved her hosting the best so far! Maybe it’s her relaxing charm and happy-go-lucky attitude ☺️ You have a great circle of friends! Happy for ya 🙃

[@RonFennakadas]

So full of life, and spirit. Should have her on again. ☕️ 🥐 🍚 🥢 👜 🧤

[@derekdahl6567]

Thomasine is a great tour guide!!!!

[@mikemccann7510]

Hey Jay...thanks for getting us out of the house for a bit. All the food looked great....(lets eat!!). Thanks to your friend, Thomasine. Good to see you keeping well. Stay safe and healthy.

[@MJN0922]

I want those gloves - so beautiful!!! I had my coffee with you this morning and it was like old times, like nothing was wrong with the world and everything was normal. Thanks for that brief yet amazing break from reality!!!

[@rainepanda]

I miss Paris so much. I went last year with my grandma but I want to return with my husband. I know he'd love it :)

[@jasoncyclist]

Thank you Jay! The glove shop was great and the Paris passageways were charming and beautiful! Greetings from Oregon.

[@hazelhoyte7668]

The sweet shop, the food! 💖 Thank you Jay and Thomasine!

[@maxwellwellmax878]

Thomasine was wonderful, you should invite her more often.

[@TheCalculatorGuy]

Best video yet! I love seeing these little lovely spaces off the beaten path. Thomasine is a great guide.

[@bonriver9420]

Thank you Jay and Thomasine for this delightful video. This was so enjoyable to watch. Interesting information on the different types of leathers. Such a beautiful section of Paris. Those sweets looked very yummy. The music was perfect. Hope you are doing well Jay.

[@HelloJP-p7n]

More throwback videos! That space invaders cap. Love it

[@JaySwanson]

=D

[@derekdurst9984]

...what a great accidental find from KZbin! Really well done! The photo quality, the music. the subject matter and the principals! I definitely subscribed and look forward to your other excursions!

[@humstrumbangtwang]

One of your best videos yet Jay, thanks.

[@motogirlz101]

OMG, I haven’t had breakfast yet and those pastries look so goooood. The glove lady is very charming also.

[@l.a.rivasesq.8841]

My spouse and I stayed in a hotel located there for about 10 days. Watching this video really made me miss that part of Paris (all of Paris actually) because of the wonderful memories it brought back to me. I’m sharing this video with friends and family as a result.

[@derekdurst9984]

...what a great accidental find from KZbin! Really well done! The photo quality, the music. the subject matter and the principals! I definitely subscribed and look forward to your other excursions!

[@KarinLynnBates]

It’s a bit bittersweet to watch this right now, knowing nearly everything is closed and nearly everyone in confinement. But oh what beauty. It made me remember my own flâneuring of the passages. What a really nice day you two had! 👍🏼✌🏼

[@denisebonner889]

Thanks again, Jay! I want to jump right in the screen!!!!

[@latoyapayne1907]

The glovesssssss!!!!

[@3Duncan3]

Awe, what a delightful break from..everything! Thank you Jay.

[@LisaQuan]

A wonderful tour around town. I loved seeing these passages, with treats along the way. Yum.

[@juantwo322]

Great 👍🏻 video.. So many places & things to discover in Paris, even for a local obviously. 🥂 Would really like to see the actual glove making process with your friend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@PhillCurtis]

Wish she could take me round Paris :) eating all those cool snacks

[@katerinajoan257]

Thank you, Jay!!! This was a little bit of joy and refreshment during this Quarantine. So excited to see Paris next year ☺️. Stay safe and healthy!

[@staceekersley]

Great tour - the passages are some of my favorite things to visit in Paris! They feel very “Parisian”, so thanks for sharing. ☺️ Thought I’d quickly share our experience of trying to carry-on our sleeve of pâtes de fruits in January. We literally shut down the security line as they thought the package they saw in the scanner was an explosive. It took a bit and my husband had to take every single thing out of his bag. They explained to us, after bringing in a half dozen or so additional security officials that it was very serious and they were very nervous. So, maybe pull it out of your bag and put it in clear view, or check them if you’re taking them home. 😳

[@cermelem]

That was a really cool exploration into the world of glove-making, Parisian passages, coffee and some fun places to eat! All the warm and fuzzies.

[@JaySwanson]

Glad to get some warm and fuzzies out there in the world!

[@ericleszkowicz898]

Wonderful places of France that everyone would miss with Jay revealing them. Fascinating. Hang in there Paris. We are coming back.

[@JaySwanson]

I'm going to be ready to explore again after this is all over =)

[@RAD6150]

Next year! Loire, Paris, London II...

[@b.simonpicard757]

Thomasine is a lovely women with a wonderful personality, you should definitely. have her on again.

[@tisi9616]

So much fun!!! A happy video during a trying time!! Lovely friend!! Just got your new hat in the mail, making me feel better already. Hoping the travel ban is gone by June when I am to visit your beautiful city!!! Stay safe!!

[@rhondab.3774]

What a treat that was an awesome video. So funny how this quarantine has changed us, I cringed when everyone was shaking hands, I will never feel the same about doing that. Beautiful gloves Thomasine

[@karentozer1871]

What a lovely lady, she looks good fun. You need to maybe do a video of her making her gloves next time , when normality returns xx stay safe xx

[@kaleidoscopeallie]

Tack Thomasine! Härligt att se din del av Paris! Jay please tell me you are cataloguing these addresses? I need to eat at the South American Japanese place one day.

[@paulhorton5612]

Je connais Paris un peu mais tous ces endroits sont à découvrir pour moi - bravo Jay et Thomasine!

[@MegaBaconLover]

It's such a strange feeling, seeing the world as it was not too long ago. It feels like forever since it's been "normal". I enjoyed it! 😊

[@sherali62]

When you need a pick me up look for Jay Swanson vids thy work a treat

[@LucitaVIII]

This one was a gorgeous video, love it!

[@debisusan4338]

Thomasine's gloves are GORGEOUS! I am baking my version of French baguettes and watching your video!!! I love the 1st, try to always stay there. Not everything is too expensive. LOVE that candy store, everything is so good!! I so miss Paris.

[@KL-pd7cr]

Think we’ll be able to travel again by years end? 😩 finally booked my Paris/Barcelona trip for NEW YEARS. Booked 3 weeks before this shit hit the fan. Crossing my fingers I’ll still be able to go

[@JaySwanson]

Hope it works out!!

[@debracoulter1250]

Now I want some beautiful gloves! The leather store was amazing. I don’t know how I could ever choose! Thomasine is fun. Thanks for sharing. I love going through the passages.

[@ryancronwell9866]

This was awesome, reminded me of when I stumbled on one of the passages when I was in Paris. Then one looked really familiar, and you visited the one I knew about!!!! wasn't expecting that because it was way outside the first.

[@peggyrambo10]

Very charming ♥️

[@JaySwanson]

😁

[@dixierosestudios]

That's my kind of tour guide! All the sweet and snack shops!

[@JaySwanson]

So good! She's onto something

[@janetrobling9528]

This was lovely.

[@JaySwanson]

Thanks! =)

[@douglasogden2107]

I watched this a second time today because I had to show her the leather shop. What an amazing color palette! My wife teaches art and Thomasine is a wonderful artist! You got my attention with the Tunisian and Indian restaurants. Stay safe!

[@JaySwanson]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@luizucchetto2528]

I really loved this video and hope we can all get back to some form of normalcy in the future!

[@JaySwanson]

Me too!

[@kristanw3954]

Such a joy to watch, Jay! This video was particularly gorgeous in its visual storytelling. The passages were a favorite out of the way treasure on our visit. Keep up the beautiful work... you’re an inspiration!

[@2858mich]

Hi Jay loved that video. Tomasine seems like a lovely person and very talented. Loved the stop off at the leather shop, very interesting as were all the passages, a must on my next trip there whenever that might be.

[@m3ganmcguir3]

as a FYI: Victoria Station, the restaurant that looks like a train? Not actually that good, would be an "avoid" for me...

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

In Brazil we have the biggest population of Japanese descent in the world so it's no surprise to me that there's a place that's a mix of Japan and South America! :-)

[@tl30562]

Hard to watch these videos with all the jerking of the camera work!!!😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@VictoriaPichel]

oh! the winged foxes! I was in that passage... Didn't get to visit Galerie Vivienne though. My week long visit to Paris was in November 2015. And it tragically coincided with the terrorist attacks. After that, walking around Paris felt a little weird...

[@manut4470]

Thanks Jay for your vides...was supposed to go this May but things change...But enjoying your vlogs!

[@derekdurst9984]

...what a great accidental find from KZbin! Really well done! The photo quality, the music. the subject matter and the principals! I definitely subscribed and look forward to your other excursions!

[@TheBlackbelair]

In Pasadena, Ca. we have the Burlington Arcade. Very English.

[@williamlabarre4755]

Nice subject matter. Will have to explore at next opportunity... Oh and dude, turn on your image stabilization!

[@gr8fulted49]

I know this neighborhood fairly well and super enjoyed this video. Thank you!

[@ALEX-pg1hb]

Planning on coming back to Paris this December and I am definitely going to Thomasine's glove shop!!

[@ebonietaylor3808]

Thanks for having the forethought to film this in advance. I had to cancel my trip for April :( but this gives me more to look forward to!

[@kathrynyates4446]

OMG! I love this video, it reminds me of my one and only trip to Paris. And NOT my last trip. Thank you for the videos.!!

[@ATHENLAY]

What a sweet lady. Is she French?

[@tricasse66]

she's swedish. :-)

[@roychefets6961]

Among the most charming places in Paris. You can imagine you are back in the 19th century.

[@Claudi771]

Love ❤️ this video!!! (I Didn’t see those areas one time I’ve been to Paris.) really want to see them now!🙏🏻

[@thedavidguy01]

Thanks for showing us a part of Paris most tourists don't see. Last year my wife and I spent a day exploring those passages and wandering through that neighborhood. It's great to see those places again but a bit bittersweet since we were supposed to leave for France last week. I'm hoping to visit in the Fall but that may be too optimistic.

[@annaburch3200]

Well, that was super fun!!! And she knows what looks to be some wonderful places for treats! Mmmmmm!

[@Nubianette]

I definitely would visit her glove shop on my next trip to Paris! I’ve never been to any of the galleries. This was a fun video!

[@sandyc5428]

Oh la la Paris...Thanks Jay for giving me my Paris fix. :)

[@_ohbuh_9472]

Just starving now In quarantine with dry a$$ pretzels and water 😿

[@AvaT42]

I enjoyed this, I have been wanting to see more of Paris in your vlogs, see the shops and houses, the streets. I would like to see the building and streets right close to jays apt. too. Paris has lovely wide avenues and those passages.

[@reduke78]

I love the pictures, but you talk and go way too fast. Would be nice to see more slowly what you are showing. I feel rushed and stressed by the end of your videos.

[@lauren110]

Aw, went to Kistuné and wandered that area with a dear friend in June. Thanks so much for taking me back!

[@ritankarsasmal380]

Ohh love that chocolate shop! My memory got refreshed. thnx man!

[@jalepeno89]

We just got your guide for a trip we planned for September, but it looks like we’ll have to postpone until next year. For anyone who doesn’t yet have Jay’s guide for Paris, it’s awesome and worth it!

[@veronicamaloney1307]

I love these videos. It's like I'm there again. I can't wait to go back when all of this is over.

[@sherilynn]

She's so fun!

[@JaniceLadyJStyleKrako]

Nothing like spring in Paris...next year

[@pgotling]

Thank you Jay. I needed some attitude uplifting.

🤗☕🤗

[@struanrobertson3019]

Awesome thanks for sharing

[@erinmh]

This vid hit all the sweet spots for me. 🥰

[@AnneMB955]

Ahh, Paris life before...and hopefully back really soon. Love that music, and the wonderful vistas also. Actually recognised many of those places. More! Please.

[@JaySwanson]

😁

[@pamelawing626]

I've been to most of those passages and am enjoying many items purchases there, from scarves, to a lovely necklace, to silly souvenirs. If you go to Paris be sure not to miss them...Passage Vivienne has one of the best scarf shops in Paris. Warning, expensive but worth every penny. Any scarf purchased there is so soft and silky, it's just a pleasure to wear and will last you forever. Can't remember the name but it's impossible to miss.

[@SL-sn5ws]

It is Wolff et Descourtis . It was my most used and loved purchases in Paris. Sorry I missed this glove shop.

[@Chiefchief4444]

You two are great together and what a fun video! Thank you.

[@1800TheSaraShow]

awesome!

[@JaySwanson]

Thanks Sara! 🤗

[@patrickmcshane7658]

Is she one of the ABBA singers?

[@kauaimartasboat]

Oh! Merci! Je suis heureux!!! ❤️ 💕 💗

What was the name of the jam confections that she spoke of at À la Mère de Famille, please and thank you?

Great video 👍

[@psychmike1717]

Love the 1st....

[@shelaghjackson9577]

So lovely to see some of the lesser known passages. That leather dealer’s shop! Wow. Thanks for today’s escapism!😎✨(And the perfect vintage music to go with the vintage passages.)👍

[@retropull]

Brings back memories of when I was visiting Paris for the first time and happened to find myself in passage Jouffroy totally by chance. Thanks for posting Jay, great content as usual. Stay safe.

[@merredithoakes2967]

What an enjoyable, fun day to share in! Fascinating places filled with art, inspiration, history and great food to add to my “I want to experience that” list for a return visit to Paris! Thank you Jay, you brightened the day!!

[@amuazu]

Did you get to try the Indian 🇮🇳 🍛 place before lockdown 🥺?

[@jimm8682]

Thank you Jay, I just cancelled my big trip to Paris for May and the passages are my favourites and will be missed.

[@majidhodge47]

Great video, so good to see Paris through Jay's camera. I did feel that I'm walking with them. Thank you for all the fantastic shots and montage. Good choice of music. You made my day sir.

[@erpatitube]

Thank you for posting. We need this type of video nowadays. I hope many of your colleagues with independent shops can weather the storm so they can continue providing great experiences. Stay safe!

[@jellinstl]

Thank you Jay. I had wanted to explore those covered Galleries when in Paris, but I only found one that wasn't lively as those.

[@roykenyon886]

I like it Jay, missed these kind of random incites you conger up with colleagues.

[@janedunlap3518]

Awesome vid. Next yr in Paris must see. I want a pair of those gloves😊❤
