Inspirations for a PERFECT Paris weekend (from a Parisian)

- Paris can be a beautiful and a calming place to visit... if you know how.
If you're being led around by online lists and trendy recommendations, it may not seem that way at all. That's why you might want some insider knowledge.
Allow me to show you how a Parisian spends her weekends.
You'll find no tourist tips or traps here. No high-pressure itineraries, no endless blah-blah. Just a glimpse at how a local girl gets the very best out of Paris, her city, her home.
I'm sure you'll be inspired. At the very least you'll have a chill viewing experience and maybe learn about another side of Paris that the tourists rarely see. Come for the visuals, stay for the music.

You have captured Paris with such perfection! First thing I luv how there isn’t a single word of language… but the images are sublime. I am amazed at your photo progression… with a magic drone to bring a rich new dimension to life in Paris. The magic multiple Aidas are a joy… where suddenly there are 5 of you. Thank you for this gift of film-making… it is so amazing in simplicity and a direct connection to the magic of Paris. ❤
Wow, you have no idea how relieved I am to hear that you and others appreciated and understood the fact there is no narration on this one. It's unlike my other videos, and a bit of a risk... but sometimes I feel Paris is best experienced in silence (or with a calming soundtrack!). No magic drone here (it's illegal to fly drones over Paris) but where there's a will there's a way to show Paris at her best!
The black and white photo inserts are great and inventive.
Glad you liked them
Brilliantly created. ❤ Every moment a sensual delight. Thank you.
Thank you - for liking it and putting that into words
This has the feel of a 60's art film. I almost expect to see Audrey Hepburn come into frame.
Audrey Hepburn: One of my favorite stars of the silver screen. Une gamine de glamour. And some of the 60s films were so special....
Such a lovely little film, I could taste the croissant and smell the fresh coffee. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it. Now I feel like another coffee
The exact time I was in Paris!! How I wish I had seen you filming. I love your videos!
Watching videos vs watching them being made is a bit like watching a duck on a pond: above the surface it looks like they're gliding along, underneath they're paddling furiously
Well done video. Nicely produced
Thanks. So easy to produce well when the subject enchants all by itself! Paris is a mysterious, bedazzling, elegant, complex city.
A well-done love letter to the city.
Thanks! It is in a way -- but there is no great effort in making a love letter to Paris: the aesthetics unfurls before you, and you just have to be there to capture it!
So beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Another great video production! No words are really needed. Being in Paris is perfect ❤!!!
No words indeed.... A little respite from TH-cam narration, and an opportunity to breathe in Paris at an uninterrupted pace (I hope). Thank you.
Merci Buckets! Just the flaneury needed, with special thanks for all the captioned highlights, which don’t break the mood, that will get further exploration. Thanks for the smiles and much affection for the chien & the chat. Paris, je t’aime!
Glad you enjoyed it (and noted the captions)... my silent movie of the year
Love this...snapshots of a day in my favorite city! Your little guy is adorable...terrier? Hi from Wisconsin 🍺 😊
My dog is a French breed, but there aren't so many shepherd breeds in the country, and to me he's one of a kind! Thank you for the lovely comment on my video. I enjoyed giving a glimpse of the city through my eyes -- and I hope that it shows it's possible to see this place at a calmer pace, not always rushing...
It was perfect
Merci beaucoup !
I started watching your videos a few days ago, and I must say that it is very informative and you present the information well and with some humor.
It's really great to hear that comment! That's exactly what I'm aiming for: information with entertainment
Perfection, Aida!
That should be Paris' slogan (well, not always, but it CAN live up to that often)!
Stunning!
Thank you -- a heartwarming endorsement, that, of this video
Aww your so talented in your videos.. Loved it and thank you for spending the time doing it.. Cute dog 😊
Thank you (and thank you from my dog as well!). I enjoy making these videos, but it means everything to hear that they are appreciated. So thank you again.
Another beautiful video thanks
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it
Love it .
Thanks!
This such a perfect video… ❤ The photography is genius… the message is so clear and artful. Aida… you are an artist! ❤ Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
Thank you Peter, most kind, those words
I've always loved Paris through your eyes. merci ♥
If this finds happiness in your eyes, it may be because if you see Paris you would see some of the same beauty yourself
@@amusingaida 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Yes. The free spirit and dare to love ❤️
Aida, not just a video but a film! Very nice, very creative…lots going on there. Congrats. Well done. My family will be moving to Paris from Canada in….52 more sleeps. I have always enjoyed your Parisian perspective and it helps me prepare for the shock coming in my life. Merci!
Hi Rob - thank you so much for the kind words, which were appreciated all the more because I just watched your last video and I see the skill and effort you deploy on your own channel (which I'm sure will grow amazingly once you get to Paris and show your experiences moving here). I think 'shock' might be overstating it. Probably some techniques to mitigate stress from the move could be needed (especially when you navigate the property market) but it all works out in the end. If you haven't seen them already I could suggest these TH-cam videomakers in Paris to give other insights:
@JaySwanson
@moyamawhinney
@nathanieldrew
Thank you for the kind words. Oh….and let’s not forget @damondominique! Monsieur Damon.
So many excellent creators based in Paris, I am very much looking forward to the adventure!
Absolutely love your mini films - they are so beautiful to watch - thank you for sharing with us
You have no idea how much I appreciate that comment!
@@amusingaida ❤️
Bravo! Bravo!
Grazie !
What a beautiful video! Being a huge opera fan, I'm thrilled with your music selection, brava!
PS - I have a crush on your dog, and I'm the ultimate cat person :D
You must have seen my cat then too! Thank you for the kind and thoughtful comment. And me too: I love opera!
@@amusingaida I did :) What's his/her name? and I'm impressed that he/she goes to the park with you! :)
Beautifully shot and edited. If you're doing this solo, you've got serious talent and could be making a good living in editing. Do you have a background in film?
I have a pretty varied background, with TH-cam representing something of a break for me to explore my creative side. So much to learn! I think if you look at my channel's progression since it started 10 months ago that I've covered some of that distance (but still have so much further to go!)
beautiul
Merci !
Very nice work, I would love to visit. So many Films and T.V. series made about the city of light. Dix pour cent and Astrid: Murders in Paris are my favourite's. Polanski's 'Frantic' my favourite film about Paris.
Totally with you on 'Dix pour cent' and I liked 'Frantic'. What about 'Amélie' or the mini films in 'Paris, je t'aime' or 'Bureau des légendes' ?
@@amusingaida Amelie is one of my favourites, beautiful, as is Audrey Tautou. I also love Juliette Binoche, she made a film with Catherine Deneuve called 'The truth' (2019) which is excellent. I am about to start watching 'Love and trouble in Paris' have you seen it? So many beautiful French films 'Portrait of a lady on fire' , 'Betty Blue' I could go on.......
Beautiful Erik Satie entrance!!! I believe a good video, if still you don't have it, is a about the Restos with Art Nouveau decoration, for example the Resto "Le Train Bleu" o "Brasserie Mollard" and a lot others, or emblematic because they are common places for famous people like Picasso, Picasso used to visit the Cafe de la Flore, and emblematic places in Montmartre.
Glad you appreciate the classical music close to my heart too. Good idea too about those lovely restaurants, maybe sometime I'll do a little video on those, if I have room after dessert.
@@amusingaida ❤️
Thank you for this beautiful video 🙏
Thank you for taking the time to express that thought! I don't get a mountain of comments, so when you actually write those words they are touching!
@@amusingaida introduced to your website from your time with Hemingway Jones. That was a great show also.
@@ginopagnani7286 yeah, that was fun. Hey @hemingwayjones if you're up for another one of those, I'm in!
@@amusingaida I’ll relay your message when our group gets together on Tuesday.
Facilitation Aida. This was a joy to watch. I’d love to know how you did the multiple Aida’s with an iPhone - perhaps it was the editing software. Also, what was the dessert that you had in the parc with views of the Tour Eiffel ? It looked so delicious. Merci mille fois.
Haha... that one shot was with another little pocket camera that comes with some fun edits. I use it occasionally. And that dessert? I don't remember what they called it... but it was essentially une tarte aux fraises. Recommended!
I love all the music of your videos, maybe you can add the name of songs, you had use also traditional Chanson Française
Ah, the songs I would need to see which ones I used. But there was no famous chanson, no, because of TH-cam copyright considerations...
Amazing 🩷🩷🩵🩵
Thank you!
