    If you want to live like a local, stay in the 15th near Rue St. Charles. My condo had views of the Eiffel tower, quick metro to wherever I needed to go, and access to Rue St Charles, which is a wonderful street lined with restaurants and all kinds of food shops. I would do my daily shopping, getting fresh bakery, roasted chicken, desserts, charcuterie, etc., stop in for a limoncello at the Italian restaurant, and more. Loved being in this part of town!

    My last visit to Paris, I stayed at the 16th and it was quiet, safe and felt far from the chaos. I also recommend that area, even though it wasn't as centralised. The place that I stayed was near the Victor Hugo stop and a short stop from the Arc de Triomphe.

    On the Rive Droite, the East and North of Paris are far cheaper than the West side. Certain quarters are fine, but a few are dodgy. The Latin Quarter is expensive and few dive bars. East and South of it are cheaper. BTW, it is said "Camu" and not "Camus". There is more than one red-light district in Paris.

    I you want to be closer to a more "normal" Parisian life I would not recommend to stay in St. German, Quartier Latin, Montmartre or Le Marais. These places are worth to visit but overcrowded and full of tourist traps. Rather go to arrondissements 11 & 12 east of Bastille (nice hotels, restaurants & bars...) or 7 & 17 if you prefer a more upscale atmosphere. But at the end it is pretty much on your age, taste and expectations... Enjoy Paris!

    You are right in naming these quarters. (It is LE Marais, not la). You are a man and therefore forgot to mention that the Saint Germain district, the sixth, is where 90% of all fashion design boutiques are situated. It is a paradise for women to walk and shop in. I used to stay in Quartier Lain when young, today I stay in St. Germain. You also forgot to mention that in Le Marais there are little tea and coffee shops where one could relax and recouperate from a long walk in an almost private setting. I know Paris very well.

    You've got your "Shakespear & Company" history mixed up. The store you show is not the original, and Hemingway never set foot in it. The original was located on Rue l'Orlean and never reopened after the war. The store you show was opened in the late 1950s and was renamed in the early 1960s as an homage to Sylvia Beach, the owner of the original.

      Unless you’re 18, you cannot legally book a hotel room or an Air BnB in France (it is, in regard of the French law, a contract and minors cannot sign a contract in France).
      Parents can book hotel rooms for their 13+ kids if kids are not accompanied.
      Be sure to have your parents call/send an email to the hotel prior to booking to let them know that you will be on your own. Some hotels could refuse to have minors on their own. If they agree, the management will probably ask for a copy of your parents ID.
      When checking-in be sure to have a copy of their ID and a letter/permission signed by your parents and written in English or French, indicating that they booked the room for you and that you will be unaccompanied (just in case).
      For Air BnB, it’s the same thing minors cannot legally book an Air BnB. Parents must contact the owner to let them know that it will be two minors on their own without any adult supervision. Of course, the owner of the apartment has every right to refuse to have unaccompanied minors.
      Your parents could also book an « auberge de jeunesse » it’s an inexpensive dorm where you can meet a lot of people and sometimes they have single or double rooms available. (Same thing than for hotels, they must contact the management prior to booking)
      Be careful, you will probably need an official authorisation to enter the French territory without your parents. Check with your embassy or consulate.
      I hope you’ll enjoy your time in France!

    Man, the subtitles sure are messed up in terms of what is really being said, e.g not Arrondisements but ."different Asians..." or "instead of the Fifth Arrondisement, they say I'm going to the Fifth of Rome..." or "Le Marais" somehow becomes "Lemon Meringue"!

    "Shakespeare and Co"? The "Co" is an abbreviation so it's actually spoken as "Shakespeare and Company". For example, when speaking you wouldn't refer to Ford as the "Ford Motor Co" but rather the "Ford Motor Company." In any case, keep up the great videos. Looks like TTG is expanding its Paris operations. P.S. Your French accent is a helluva lot better than mine, lol.

      Quite a few letters are not pronounced in French. For e.g., Camus is pronounced Camu (no s). And I know anglophones have a hard time to pronounce u correctly, but you got it!

      @@TheTourGuyVids If you don't live in a French-speaking country, your French is perfectly fine. Just a quick tip: the last letters of words are often not pronounced and that is especially true for the final "e" (feminine) and final "s" (plural). But it is sometimes also true for surname. For e.g., "Camus" is pronounced "Camu" (no final "s").

    I had seen this video before, and this second time I must say that the information given is quite good. That's great. On the other side I think that you don't pronounce very well, wich could induce a tourist some mistakes. For instance, you say the numbers of neibourghs in english, not french; it's the same with arrondissement, wich sounds more like "arrondissman". And it's Saint Sulpice, like "sulpiss", not suplice. Overall, quite good.
