  • Always the best! I may have misheard, but one sits with, not on, a glass of wine. Hahaha! That underground shop was amazing! Bon appetite.
  • My favorite Paris neighborhood, and your choices are real top shelf top fines! But my wife is shocked that you don't like chocolates Alain, but she appreciated you showing us these wonderful premium Chocolatier. 🍫 I appreciate how useful your content is, even for someone who has been to Paris dozens of times, there's still a "I didn't know that" moment in all your videos.
  • Ok, ok! I am an American living in Hawaii who delights in watching travel videos. I am delighted with yours. Sooo many videos are by travelers- including the Hawaiian ones. Love that a genuine Frenchman is educating us. Now for my shock! Just this past year I started ordering Mariage Freres tea. Specially the Earl grey French Blue. Suddenly in your video it appears 😊 YOU are the authentic French travel advisor. I mean it. Enough already with Americans presuming to tell me how to enjoy France. Mele Kalikimaka 🎅🏻😎Now Google that and Merci😀🤓

    Bravo 👏 you’ve outdone yourself with this tour. Absolutely splendid!
  • @lorienmondragon
    Love your commentary Alain! I’ll be staying in Saint Germain in a few month. Very helpful tips ❤ merci

    I wish I had seen your video before staying in St. Germain two weeks ago! Georges Larnicol did NOT show up on an Apple/Google Maps search for 'food', but it was unmissable after we emerged from the Odeon metro station. The full sized Kouign-aman, in particular, was a showstopper...I never describe food as sexy, but....😄

    I visited Richart when I was I was in Paris in May. We arrived a mere 5 minutes before they were to close for lunch but the sales lady was so courteous and friendly. She did not make us rush through our selections. A young couple came in while we were there and she was just as friendly with them. Needless to say the macarons and chocolate covered almonds were a successful souvenir. Thank you for keeping Paris close to my heart in between visits (which are never frequent enough). Merci

    Alain this video is wonderful!! I absolutely love the format with the map and dotted lines showing us how to get from one place to the next. You’ve shown us so many hidden gems for foodies like myself. I really love the content and ask you to please please keep making more videos like these. Next time we’re in Paris we’re going to follow along your mapped out « gourmand » route!! Merci !! 👏👏

    St Germain is our fave neighborhood, also. Love the vibe, the shops and restaurants did not disappoint
  • @shaheenevans
    Loved this neighbourhood approach, So many memories from our recent summer holiday in SGM, Cosi sandwich’s, Grom ice cream during the heat wave and Richart macrons👌🏻epic made me feel like a local, had dinner at Procorpe your last vid ! There was some new gems too like tomatis - keep up the authentic Parisian approach.

    The street creperie by the Eglise St. Germain right across from Les Deux Magots has these very tasty Grand Marnier crepes! I love that place, especially when the jazz band is playing.
  • How grateful we are as you take us with you to the secrets of your wonderful city Paris ☃️ Merci 🎉

    Loved this video when it first came out and bookmarked it for my upcoming visit to Paris for the Games. Now I am just a week from arriving. I always stay in Saint-Germain, but now have my favorite hotels after 34 visits to the city, most in the neighborhood (stayed in many of them!!). So I am looking forward to trying some of your suggestions soon, most of which I have simply passed by because I have my favorites. Sigh.

    Глазированные каштаны очень вкусные, всём советую попробовать. Обязательно зайду в некоторые из этих мест. Рекомендую к просмотру. Отличное видео
  • @BigNightFan
    Very fun as always. I hope to get here to visit in 2024.
  • @djemidjema
    It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you. I know, the French food combined with a strolling the iconic Parisian streets is an unbeatable combination, but I would like to make a suggestion, if I may. What if you gave us, your viewers, some tips about, let’s say, best Parisian tailors or shops/boutiques where one can buy a solid French brand men’s wool suits or coats? Comme IZAC, FURSAC ou Bruce Field, par exemple. (Vous voyez ce que je veux dire?)

    Loved the videos 👍. I have been searching for nice Paris coffee shop videos to watch on the weekend but not many on YouTube. Thank you :)
