    A pity none of your fellow crew members tagged along with you to take in the sights. Their loss! You clearly had a fun time. At least you were able to bring along your social media fans as virtual companions! I, for one, enjoyed watching your vlog. Thank you!

    omg I LOVE French food! You make me miss being an AA f/a. I was based at JFK-I and SFO-I...back when AA had domestic and int'l f/a flying separated. I loved Paris layovers so much that I went to study abroad in the summer of "01 to become a French speaker...and arrived back in LA on September 5, right before our 767-ER was flown into WTC tower 2, and that was the equiptment we flew from the west coast to CDG, so that ended that route. I'm sure you remember it all too well.
    Safe flying~

    Wow, you are lucky that you get a crew break. I was a flight attendant many moons ago for a now defunct airline TWA, and just flying from Las Vegas back to Chicago we couldn't sleep, even though it was an overnight flight. Talk about being tired after that one!!! I loved being a flight attendant, so much fun. I have to say, we didn't have a nice galley like you have, but then again, our planes were not as big either. Not the ones I flew. Have fun, stay long and retire!

    I don’t want to call you an sob, but Francesco - you lucky sob to stay a full 48 hours!!!! I can’t wait til I get to Paris - I had to cancel my first in Spring 2020. I count the days before I can reschedule the first trip. It was BEAUTIFUL.
    I want to see you stroll down the street with endless pastry shops!
    I remember your last few Paris vlogs - I enjoyed each of them. I’ve never you learn how to do macaron in French way with that glass Siri and you showed us the Notre Dame game cathedral I believe after it had burned. And you showed us that the French were on strike U2 problems with job situation. Such interesting things to happen right before the pandemic huh? But I enjoyed your vlogs. Merci!!!!

    Enjoying your channel Francesco, it brings back a lot of memories. I’m an ex European FA, worked for two British and two Scandinavian airlines in the 90’s, and before that in the 80’s I worked for Cunard on the Queen Elizabeth 2 and later Royal Caribbean based in Miami, so both your flight vlogs and the cruise vlogs are interesting to me. Retired from that life several years ago and now run my own B&B in the south of France. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

    Hello Francesco, I cannot believe I missed this video. I’m so happy you got a 48 hour layover in Paris. Your croissant made me think I should find a French Bakery in Toronto ( about 35 miles from the town I live in) . Croissants are so good. I’m not good at Baking. Beautiful scenery in Paris and it did not look crowded. I’m thinking this was in January or February. Beautiful video🥐🥐

    Paris is lovely; although looks very quiet at the moment. Can't wait to start travelling again, find it a bit of a challenge at the moment what with all the corona restrictions. Next time you're in London you must discover more food stores! M&S is good but there are some nice foodhalls in the larger department stores. Love watching you, you're charming. Looking forward to your next vlog.

It is weird when you're used to traveling with others but I did enjoy it - made me feel very independent and ambitious. The macarons look delish, along with the croissants.

    You better had played the lottery cause a longer layover overseas sounds like a dream and you made the most of it too! Very fun vlog!

I think my favorite city sights are the Chicago skyline, the Seattle Space Needle and the Monumento a los Heroes de la Restauración (plugging my city here hehe).
