Great video 👍💯❤️

Thank you!

I agree with ChloeLouiseT, and it brings back many memories of my last visit. If I could provide one friendly suggestion is perhaps review the captions before publishing. Sometimes it’s hard to understand the locations in the audio and the CC may not have the correct word either. For some locations I only knew where they were because I had previously visited them. But a fun video nonetheless.

[@anujadeshmukh8650]

Paris looks lovely.. we are planning to visit on Christmas... But we heard there is a big issue of bed bugs.. is it really severe that we should not plan or postpone it? Please guide us and suggest..

[@mikasr.5]

No it’s over don’t worry

[@SophieNadeau]

It is really beautiful and I would still personally visit! The truth is that every city in the world has beg bugs. Before you visit make sure you watch a video on TH-cam on how to identify bed bugs so that you can check any accommodation you stay in. You can also take other steps such as avoiding wearing outdoor clothing on your bed and not putting the suitcase on the bed either! :)

[@fit_tit9902]

Thanks so much! You put a lot of work in this vid - much appreciated! I'm in Paris now so will definitely visit some of these places! 😊

[@Tsukisakii]

You could add in subtitle text of the location and timestamps would help as well.

[@CindyTong]

is the decor sold in Galeries Lafayette nicer than those in xmas market? How are the prices?

[@jemimahorn]

What camera do you use for nighttime shots?

[@SophieNadeau]

The Sony ZV-E1 with the 16-35mm F2,8 GM lens

[@khuzandastoor1594]

Hi, please let me know if all these illuminations and lights start by 1st December

[@SophieNadeau]

Yes, some of them actually start at the end of November. For example, the tree at Galeries Lafayette is put up at the end of November!

[@mssiggypiggy]

[@LisaAnderson-fe3uj]
