I loved this. You did a wonderful job showing the essence of the neighborhood in a different way. ❤the Marais, despite all the tourists, and can't wait to see other neighborhoods.
I bought three beautiful greeting cards at the BHV which I framed when I returned home. An inexpensive and light souvenir. I also got "lost" in the hardware department, like a kid in a candy store. 😊
Bonjour Aida. My Mother was born in northern France but moved to Canada after WWII and married my father; a Canadian soldier. My Mom has passed and I am bringing my sister to Paris as it is the city in France my Mother spoke of with such fondness and excitement. We are staying in the Marais and I appreciate your video so much. I am an instant fan and "smashed" the subscribe button as soon as the video was over. Take care and I hope to watch all of your videos. PS - I already know I will return to Paris without even stepping foot there as yet.
That's great you'll soon get to see Paris, and the Marais. Hopefully you'll appreciate your own experience of the city while also 'sharing' your mom's experience. One tip for tea & cakes in the Marais: Bontemps (it has a courtyard salon).
Je suis parisien et je vous félicite pour vos vidéos et (surtout) votre sourire. Il y a tant de lieux non touristiques à montrer aux touristes qui ne veulent pas en croiser trop (la campagne à Paris dans le XXème, le Haut-Belleville, le parc des Buttes-Chaumont, la Cité florale dans le 13ème).
Your videos are lovely, I was in Paris a month ago. It is a great city to walk around & I love those sunny terrace cafés with the wicker chairs & small round tables. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Nice! I really enjoy your stuff. I briefly lived in the Marais on Rue du Bourg Tibourg. This, plus having seen Aida at the NY Met Opera, is helping me bond with your vlog. ;-) Hope you keep it up.
Sundays in le Marais are some of the best times I ever had in Paris. There is a favorite little musee of mine, The Carnavalet, in area. It was being renovated during my visit. I'd love to see what it looks like now. It was such a great place to learn the visit of Paris.
What a treat this was to enjoy Paris through your adventures! I will never visit France, but I love seeing it through your videos. Thank you so much from USA.
Paris is one of those places that exists in the intersection of imagination and reality. Even if you don't get to see it one day, I'm glad I can bring a little bit of it to your TV/computer/smartphone....!
Thank you for the kind words. As for my English - well I learned to sing along to English-language music as a kid and it kind of kept developing from there.
Yes a little touristy but to be expected in such a beautiful district. There are still many many worker residents in Le Marais and yes value is hard to find but can be sought out, i seem to find a neighbourhood bar, brassiere every time, with ok value. The BHV store is mesmerizing 😂 , i never come out the same door i enter , even the metro can be accessed from there . Nicolas Flamel , maybe try at least once as an experience. You presentation of Le Marais is delightful.
I'm in the Marais most days. If there are any worker residents left there, I haven't seen them (assuming you mean ouvrier rather than salarié). I've seen that neighbourhood change so much... now there's a lot more Bubble Tea than La vie bohème.... Agreed on BHV, my go-to department store. I usually walk to it, but do know of the métro entrance into the hardware department. Thanks so much for the positive reception to the video!
What a wonderful take on le Marais. Thank you. Last time I was there I was sitting at La Favorite (Rue de Rivoli) opposite a church with an amazing clock. However, beside the church is a building with metal work at the balconies. Got me wondering about the feud between the builder and the owner because those balconies can't be that rude by accident.
Hello i just saw your video ....i leave at paris near la plece des vosges...you are it is the more beautiful area in paris even i f paris has a lot of "pepites"to see...hope to see more soon i suscrib to you❤❤❤
@@amusingaida Horse meat and buffalo meat are the best (extremely similar meat) for steak tartar. But only one can be found in France, and the other in the US.
Why do you keep slamming places as "too touristy?" Isn't this video for tourists? Isn't your whole channel for tourists? Your content is otherwise interesting, and your onscreen presence is good - but I feel vaguely insulted for watching and making a mental note to visit. I'm a tourist! How horrible of me! ;-)
That's a good observation. And my reply is: my channel, as I conceive it, is not for first-time visitors to Paris (there are plenty of channels doing that already). It's for people already acquainted with the city. I feel more comfortable diving into aspects beyond the introductory ones. No intention to insult people, only wanting to communicate with visitors (or residents) who feel there is so much more behind the curtain

Thanks! So many corners of Paris, so many different places to talk about.
Thank you for sharing about the hardware store in BHV :)
Great place. Pricier than it used to be, but you can find most anything in there
Love your content and style. Can’t wait to come back to Paris.
You should! Paris is an endless buffet of possibilities. Thanks for the encouraging words.
I enjoyed this! Can't wait for you to show some other beloved neighborhoods
I'm so happy you enjoyed it.I'll be doing many other neighborhoods of Paris, coming soon. Which ones do you rate highly?

Thanks for the videos about Paris. They are really cool , fun to watch , good vibe, and will help us to arrange our trip. 🙏💪🥂
Glad you enjoy them... am planning new ones
Paris has been my muse for about 30 years now. Will be back this summer. Thanks for the elegant guidance.
Paris is an ageless muse, one hopes. Though always changing, under the timeless surface.

Merci, très gentil tout ça. Je suis d'accord sur les lieux non-touristiques. Là je cherche à doser le familier avec le moins connu... A suivre !
@@amusingaida Vous faites ça très bien.
Your videos are lovely, I was in Paris a month ago. It is a great city to walk around & I love those sunny terrace cafés with the wicker chairs & small round tables. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
I love those round tables and chairs too! So much that I bought some for my place...

Haha. Now all you have to do is get a dog!

The Carnavalet is reopened, and over this summer there was a lovely cafe/restaurant area set up in its front courtyard. A lovely place.
@@amusingaida Thank for for that update.

Love your videos. Smart and fun. The dog is too cute.
He was a wonderful, wonderful dog
So happy l visited paris in the80's, 90,s and 2000's!
That would have been a brilliant period (without falling into the trap of thinking that life was better ages ago)
Eh bien, I "SMASH-ed" le button. lol. Too good, too fun, too informative, too professional yet light, and so well done - videos. Magnifique!
Merci ! Thanks for the kind words -- ad I'm really glad to hear you appreciate my little efforts
You really are the 🎉 best Paris vlogger!
Probably not, but nice of you to say
From the USA. I love your down to earth videos. Your English is wonderful. Unfortunately I do not speak French.

@@amusingaida "Bubble Tea" 😭 I can not be persuaded to be a Bubble Tea person. Bonne soirée .

Could have been a different reason than a feud that..... Not that I'm saying I know.
Your day in Le Marais was awesome
I love that place very chic style .
I love your outfit the hat is fit on you.
Hugs from Utah .😺😺😺
Le Marais is now the most magnetic place in the city for visitors. Lovely streets.
@@amusingaida
Yes agree with you Le Marais is
Magnetic and bohemian place
Look awesome
Thanks again 😺
I smashed it! 😀 keep going, you're a natural 👏
That wonderful to hear. Thank you!
Favourite Paris channel!
Wow! Thanks! (That's a lot to live up to)
nothing else can replace your happiness then HUMAN WARMTH-REY BREDBURRY

You live in a great area of Paris. I have a new video coming up.... I'm not sure when, but I'm working on it
Thank you!
Thanks for watching it, appreciating it -- and taking the time to comment
Your dog is so cute!
Isn't he? And a perfect Paris café dog he is too
Cute doggy , by the way (and I'm the ultimate cat person :)
The dog sends thanks
Nice!
👍
Tu es géniale. Merci.
Merci !
2:54 Did you really have a steak tartar? if so, I am impressed.
Naturally. Whenever I can. One of my favorites!
@@amusingaida Horse meat and buffalo meat are the best (extremely similar meat) for steak tartar. But only one can be found in France, and the other in the US.
@@asterixky Don't know about that. Well tended beef seems to work pretty well....
A PERFECT DAY IN PARIS ONLY REQUIRES ONE ITEM.YOUR COMPANY.
My library of videos provides that
You have a big and beautiful dog. So: you have a big apartment in Paris, don't you? :)
He's a French dog. He's used to Paris apartments.
Le Quartier du Marais me plait
Et vous n'êtes pas la seule
A perfect day in the Marais is not to be there, at least the center.
I have 1.3 million people this week who would disagree

Oh! Okay, that totally makes sense! I appreciate your reply! ❤
Love your dog.
Thanks. And woof from him.
Nothing like watching an expert tour a hood.
Thanks! I'll have a new video coming up, introducing another hood!
