Nice tips and mostly right on. My wife and I went in September, but we planned the trip for months beforehand. My biggest tip is to make a few plans, do your research. We had one big thing each day, and we left time for discovery and just hanging out. We really loved the Eiffel Tower. We walked up to the second level, sat up there for a good while, then came down. Regarding the Louvre, do your research and make a reasonable plan. Ours was to spend about three hours there, and yes, we got a timed entry at 5 pm on a Friday so it would be a little less crowded (great tip). Also, be sure you have comfortable walking shoes. You'll be walking a lot and you'll be up and down about a million stairs. But you'll love every minute if you do your research and plan ahead. Get dinner reservations for your first night (for sure) and about half the other nights. Leave the other half of the nights to fill in after you get there.
I appreciate you taking the time to share all this -- lots of practical info. Much appreciated :)
I would add to the list Musée Carnavalet (Marais, beautiful old palace) and Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (Palais de Tokyo). Both are free, no crowd and worth a visit.
Thanks for this
Thank you, I just added Musee Carnavalet to my list for October!
J'aime beaucoup la vision que vous avez de notre beau pays ! Paris est une ville magnifique, pleine d'histoire et avec une architecture très riche mais mais mais ... ce n'est pas toute la France. Mon conseil : essayez de faire une région par voyage pour vraiment être au cœur de la vie en France. je me régale avec vos vidéos en tout cas bravo !
Thank you very much :)
And be sure to hang on to that used Métro ticket in case controllers are outside the station checking tickets. I also did those steps at Abbesses and didn't know about the elevator then either. Thought I'd never get out and was exhausted. That being said, now I'm glad I did it once.
Good tip!
I would advise taking your main meal at midday as there are better deals and try a local 'bouillon' or workers cafe such as Bouillon Chartier of which there are three you can get three courses for under 20euro
Thanks for this!
Very informative. I just wish you gave the various arrondissement for all the places you mentioned.
I stayed in the 7th arrondissement in June and was lucky enough that there was a perfect restaurant right on the corner and several bakeries and supermarkets. close.
That's great feedback -- much appreciated! I'll be sure to do that next time :)
I would love to visit Paris France 🇫🇷 i love Traveling i enjoy your videos keep up the good work
Much appreciated! Hoping you get to visit soon :)
Soooo helpful Camden! I’m going to Paris in October so will definitely be implementing these tips! 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful! Hope you have a great trip :)
Great recommendations & tips. Thanks dude
You got it!
the very best video to visit Paris.. Thank you
I appreciate the kind words
I was trapped on that 🚂 station as well 😢 I thought I was in the amazing race 🏃♂️🤦🏽♀️ I ❤ some Paris BTW 👌
Wouldn't that have been cool if it WAS the amazing race?! I'll be rooting for you if/when that happens haha
Like all overly touristic places worldwide Paris is a scammer's paradise. That infortunately includes many restaurants that serve pre-prepared industrial, low quality dishes and sell them (sometimes dearly) as home-made French cuisine, thus the disappointment of those customers who are able to recognize good food. I suggest you check on line before eating out in Paris; I would generally avoid all "eateries" around" touristic spots.
Thanks for sharing
Pas tous les restaurants heureusement
Thanks Camden for this refreshing video, from someone who's lived here for some three decades--I had to look up those eating places (would add Baguett. in the first, new, innovative). On Palais Royal gardens (my neighbourhood), being tucked away makes them not that touristy, though this is changing thanks to a certain Emily. On the Eiffel Tower, for folk wishing to go up, try the stairs! These go to the first and second levels, are surprisingly fast, not that steep, cheaper, with great views. As for the district you dare not pronounce, I think you mean Mouzaïa (moo-za-ya), noted for its villas, lanes and gardens; good tip, and there are similar hidden districts to be discovered in this dense city eg Montsouris Square, Floral City...Enjoy.
I appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to share!
nice
All cafes open at or before 7 am.
Which spots you hitting haha?
@@camdendavid any local cafe, in all arrondissements. 13th, 9th, 17th, 18th, 14th, 2nd, 3rd, 15th.
So for food you are recommending japanese, italian and korean in Paris? Quel dommage.
It would appear that way haha. Feel like there's no shortage of recommendations for great French cuisine and wanted to share something a bit different :)
Careful for ‘con’ artists at Montmartre who will draw a picture of you from a distance, then try to collect $$ from you. Worst experience ever.
Why so many pick pockets😮?
Luckily I haven't had any experience with that :)
It’s pronounced “mawn mart” like lawn with an m.
Absolutely not
@@thomaslamy465 I stand corrected.
