Thanks for watching Paris in my Pocket's installment on the 8th arrondissement, hope you enjoyed it! Grab all my recommendations (oh so many more than this) in my guide at parisinmypocket.com and thank you to my Patrons as always, for making it possible for me to do this every day!
Two things: 1) Liked the French interlude with French Laura. Paris really is all about grabbing a drink, sitting on a terrace with a friend, watching the city go by and simply being present. 2) long time ago, I worked at a dessert place and the owner spent a considerable amount of time in Paris and brought back weird and wonderful underground/alternative/chill music to play at the restaurant. A few of those CD volumes were from the Buddha Bar and we were all a little obsessed. It totally got me hooked into that genre (always appropriate at dinner parties).
I never knew that about the hierarchy of Hausmannian architecture. You never stop learning eh! Good point about just enjoying the city , wherever you end up. Cheers Jay!
@@JaySwansonHow many times out of 10 do you ask permission to vlog? Especially if you're in restaurants and want to catch things like food and drinks organically??
Tanisha, Girl meets glass, is fabulous. We have booked with her to explore wine and wine bars. You are in good hands with Tanisha as she shares hidden gems in Paris. I highly recommend if you want to explore and enjoy wine tasting. ❤
great episode Jay! I liked the explanation of "Haussmann" style architecture; it would make logical sense also with heat rising, the upper floors would be hotter without air-conditioning. So the 2nd or 3rd floor would be ideal especially with taller ceilings😎
Oh, this is gonna be a fun one. 😂 I can already hear Jay pleading for people to avoid the Champs Élysée like the plague. Hey, there’s always Parc Monceau is in the 8th! I think? 🤔
The Buddah Bar brings back memories of utterly debauched nights being 'misspent' back in the early 2000's when I first arrived in Paris. The place was popping. Haven't been back in almost two decades, but I'm glad to see it looks exactly the same as it used to inside.
After watching this tour of the 8th, we watched your original tour of the 8th as part of your original 20 in 20...it brought back great memories of the reddish sunglasses, the sense of movement that was part of filming while on the wheel...fun to revisit the young Jay.
Stayed in the 8th in April--arrived on Easter to a charming boutique hotel with the beautiful St. Augustin right outside our window (it was packed on Easter Sunday). Agree that the 8th doesn't seem to have the most dining options, but we enjoyed that very Noir café and several other spots in the area. We found it a convenient location between Montmartre and the river, and accessible to the opera & lovely dining & city views atop Galerie Printemps. We also enjoyed returning to the comparative quiet after all the crowds elsewhere. To each their own, I guess?
You really do have to include more French language into your videos. I found that really very good. I am a frequent watcher and "Liker" of your videos but the French portion got me to pause the video and comment something I have never done before. Pete NYC
My trip shall include Eiffel Tower ,Louvre, Notre Dam, The Arch de trump I watched the building of Paris train system and the reconstruction of Laris my Napoleon 3 &company ,Jr Paris are very informative 😅
Hi Jay Great channel!!! My wife and I are visiting Paris a week before XMAS. We have never been so I found a seemingly nice hotel ( san regis) in the 8th arrondisement. We are looking to simply enjoy the city and not see everything in 4 days. For our purposes, it this a decent place in a decent area? Thanks!!
I am thinking of buying your guide . But there is only $ currency on your website. I live in Europe, why should I pay in dollars? Is it a safe site with secure payment?
Hello Marie! Our site is safe with secure payment, we use stripe as a payment processor. We're working on a multi-currency option in the future, but this is what we have for now, and it's perfectly safe for purchases from anywhere in the world!
Oh my, you speak as fast in French as you do in English. Thanks for the subtitles. I'm learning French for my November visit and fear I won't understand anyone. I don't expect to be fluent but just hope to use some polite phrases.
Thank you for adding some French to the video. I am usually curious, when you speak French, do you start in English, then translate or are you thinking in French to start with?
Air pollution, basically it is what destoyed every monument in the larger cities in the world. In the mid 80's even the UN produced stacks of reports. Sadly the fossil fuel industry had their way. And the price has yet to be paid. 😢

what if you're solo?
Living vicariously in Paris with JS 🤩☕🇫🇷

Your French is truly magnificent. Enjoyed the vlog but had to say how much hubby and I loved your French voice. So happy for you.
Thank you!

Great job, Jay. Best one of this series so far. I elucidated on Patreon…keep it up!

Oh my god, you literally said « avoid like the plague »! Hahaha
☠️AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE☠️
Enjoying this series. Nice to see Tanisha. And yes, agree with those who would like to hear a bit a French!

Excellent Jay.Great to see the videos being longer.Keep up the good work bud.Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 in da house😊

This is great, thank you! I too brulee in the sun!
Some nice detail nuggets this episode. Bravo.
Merci!
So glad you used all caps somewhere in the video title or I would’ve watched.
Fantastic suggestions adding to my itinerary. Merci!
Have fun!
I will be in Paris May 2024. Staying in the 7th, but plan visiting few of the arrondissements you are sharing.

Love this, Libby. To each their own - exactly! So glad to hear that this arrondissement was right for you, and hope you had an amazing trip.
Noir saved to our list for when we go later this year because it is close to hotel we like 😊
Awesome!
Merci bien Jay! Just watched the film Eiffel 🗼cool to see from that angle!

Thanks Pete! Happy to have you here
Very enjoyable and as always informative. I enjoy these Paris views very much.thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Seeing you break into French was a delight 👏🏽
Merci!
Yay, you finally featured a shop I’m already a fan of! Love Noir, especially the one in the Eighth.
Noir is awesome!
Love hearing you speak in french. Really good video. Thanks
Thank you! 😃
Great vlog! Loved the church and Buddha Bar.
Thanks, Charles!
Thanks for speaking French, Jay ! And you can say : "La bière est fraîche !" 😉
Thanks for the Arc de Triomphe bit. I prefer their view. Also, good to know Napoleon got to saw Baby.
Love you videos Jay, can't wait to get back to Paris and see you. We just moved from Seattle area to San Antonio, so this year is out for Paris.
10:29 Bronzé and Brûlé in Parc Monceau sounds like a fun day 😂
Super video as usual 😻
one of my favorite songs: Au Parc Monceau by Yves Duteil
I am in paris now thank you for the video
Have fun!
12:41 Take a shot of water every time he says ‘profite’. You’ll feel better.
Interesting to see how Paris deals with accessibility. I think it’s always a hot button issue especially with some buildings not having lifts.
It's getting better, but there's still a lot of work to be done for sure.
Never to big or to old to ride on a carousel 🎠
My trip shall include Eiffel Tower ,Louvre,
Notre Dam,
The Arch de trump
I watched the building of Paris train system and the reconstruction of Laris my Napoleon 3 &company ,Jr Paris are very informative 😅

Hi Jay
Great channel!!!
My wife and I are visiting Paris a week before XMAS. We have never been so I found a seemingly nice hotel ( san regis) in the 8th arrondisement. We are looking to simply enjoy the city and not see everything in 4 days. For our purposes, it this a decent place in a decent area? Thanks!!
I have a soft spot for the 8th, its the only arrondissement I've really spent time in so I'm bias towards it but Parc Monceau is a real gem
Park Monceau is truly a dream!

Some polite phrases are all you'll need - you'll be great!
@@JaySwanson Thanks for the encouragement!

At this rate, thinking in French, but it's taken a long time to get there.
It's so odd for me to see cold brew in a tiny little cup

Air pollution, basically it is what destoyed every monument in the larger cities in the world. In the mid 80's even the UN produced stacks of reports. Sadly the fossil fuel industry had their way. And the price has yet to be paid. 😢
Have you seen Al Gore's recent TED talk? Pure gold on that very point.
Merci bien pour parlant un peu de francais!
you changed the title right!? 🍋🍪🍺🍷
More French speaking Jay please!!
😂
Quel accent! Ou le manque d’accent! :)
Merci!
