This was hysterical! Thank you for the “education” but most importantly, the fun! I can only imagine the 3 of you attempting to negotiate your way out of that bar. Thanks for brightening my gloomy Saturday, and I will have “une coupe de champagne” with Colleen. Merci!
My two cents : when you eat a sugar with alcool it's called "un canard" (a duck). But absinthe used to be served in a glass then water pass through the sugar with a special spoon. Calvados is also drunk with coffee, the famous "Café-calva".
I like their camaraderie, but I don’t drink. So I wouldn’t care to see more of this. It helped me more when she said what the waiter will ask u upon arriving at the restaurant.
On cider, a small warning for our overseas friends. Here in France, "Cidre" is always alcoholic with a alcohol content usually between 3% and 6%. If you want non-alcoholic sparkling cider, you should instead ask if they have some "jus de pomme pétillant".
Hard cider is so popular here now that a restaurant server might assume you mean the alcoholic version. At least, that’s how it is on the west coast. Cider is a great alternative for people who don’t like the taste of beer. I like the drier English style ones, which I think is the one Colleen didn’t like.
@@letarogers6380 That's interesting! I didn't know that hard cider was popular in the US. As a french fan of cider, I've only heard that the definition of the word was distinct between France and the US, and I didn't want someone visiting to get surprised by the difference.
LOL!! Your facial expressions say it all! This was really fun to watch and it appears you enjoyed it quite well. To serve of absinthe correctly, pour the absinthe in a glass. Place a sugar cube on your absinthe spoon if you have one or a slotted spoon over the glass and slowly pour ice-cold water over the sugar cube. Let the water slowly drip over the sugar cube for it to dissolve in your glass of absinthe. You should have approximately three to four parts of water per one part absinthe. Your drink will change color from green to a light yellow-green. Stir and Enjoy!
Since we left Paris three weeks ago, I tried to stop watching your videos. It made me sad as I wasn't there anymore 😢. But oh how I've missed you! This video made me laugh out loud as the mix of different drinks made you tipsy and soooo funny. Can't wait to get back there 😘
I've loved all your videos, but this one with Colleen surrounded by the brothers enjoying the lovely French aperitifs is super fun. I'm definitely booking a Vincent tour next visit!
Even for a french who doesn't drink alcool, your opinions on our aperitifs is very interesting ! I subscribed to your channel : thank you to share our culture, food and drinks !!! Merci !
This did make me lol. Was just playing with the idea of a paris trip, from the UK. Thanks so much for your video's, great info and love the idea of a food tour ❤
Love, love loved the video! I seriously did laugh out loud . I love Kir Royal and Aperol Spritz( have some in my fridge too Vincent). Enjoyed many along with champagne 🍾 on our trip in May. Watched all of your videos before we went even though I’d been before I learned so much 😊Thinking about coming back to Paris in February for my 60th birthday and first solo personal trip. Have my flight booked just have to say a definite yes to doing it. Will make sure to do a tour with Vincent!
It lovely to to see you letting your hair down it was very informative you do a good job informing people about france i am danish and have been to Paris so i love to watch your show i am danish and trained in french cuisine so i find it very interesting to see what is going on today. Kepp up the good job and enjoy yourself. I had my first jambon beurre in Paris the best in the world Gert from Australia
Another really great video. Thank you. Of course, as well as Champagne, many French people drink "Cremant" (de Loire, de Bourgogne") as an aperitif. Cremant is made in the same way as Champagne, but can't be called Champagne because it's not made in the Champagne region. I love it! You're right about Calvados. It's more often drunk as a digestif rather than an a aperitif. Loved your reactions to Absinthe. It's very much an acquired taste, but should be tasted at least once in life. 😇I like it!
Bonjour Antoine and Colleen . I learned about the Aperol spritz on your Eiffel Tower video. On our last cruise that became my go to before dinner drink. The bartender appreciated my “sophistication “. Now I have new horizons to conquer. Merci all😊🥂🍷🍾🥂
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! We have everything in this video at home except for beer and cidre. We always get brute cidre from Bretagne when we stay in the South. In addition, when were in the South every summer and out and about in the intense heat, a Pastis is the most reflective beverage of all time. Because I can’t hold liquor, my limit is one. My summer go to at home os Aperol Spritz but with champagne. Now that autumn is here, our weekend aperitif is the Kir Royal. I cook a lot with Calvados and on our home it’s more used after dinner. I’m so happy that you are normalizing champagne-we always have a case in our garage and in our home it is used regularly. My apologies if I sound like a lush bit we have aperitifs only on the weekends at home but every night in France! Lol!
I was watching the video today and saw the Absinthe bit. I had never heard of someone dipping a sugarcube in it and eating it, honestly I thought someone set you up with that as a joke. The idea of the sugar cube was to put it on a slotted "spoon" that looks more like a cheese knife and have that sit across the rim of you glass over the Absinthe. It was 68 proof because then you drip ice water on to the sugar dissolving it into your glass and mellowing out your drink. The drink then turns a light minty green often referred to as "The Green Fairy". Please make an amended video with that version, you will see a difference.
That video was good fun. Perhaps it was the booze 🥴 but I believe they were pronouncing Absinthe incorrectly. It is not A-bi-sinthe, it’s Ab-sinthe. … correct?
You three were hilarious as you got tipsy. My husband and I watched and were laughing through the whole video. Your faces got redder and redder. We’re coming to Paris at the beginning of next year. I wish we could hang out with the three of you. We will book with Vincent if we can find a time that works. Love your vids!
I love pastis. I even learned to like non-alcoholic pastis such as Pacific. Unfortunately, it is not available where I live. Our first experience with Calvados was not smooth. As the evening went on the bartender kept bringing us more of their special, homemade Calva from the depths of their cellar. Very memorable. I find it very enjoyable, too. I agree that Cassis is a nice addition to white wine and champagne. This was a very enjoyable episode. I was getting tipsy just watching. Thanks for sharing.🍾 🍹 🍷♥
@@vincentdupont315 Vincent, I'll be coming out for the first week in June 2024.. how far in advance to you recommend booking? I would so enjoy a tour with you!!!
Hi Didisinclair, 2024 will be a special year with the Olympics... We gonna have millions of visitors worlwide. My best advice is to book far in advance to make sure to get a ticket reservation. Best regards 😉@@didisinclair3605
Hello Les Frenchies. We met you at the Louvre the afternoon of September 20; we thanked you then, but publicly, thanks for giving us the information on ALL your videos to navigate Paris. They empowered us and made us believe we could enjoy Paris, which we did. My question is, did we meet you before or after you did this video? Looks like you enjoyed making this one. Merci beaucoup!
One of our favourite videos from you both. Leaving for Paris in 9 days! So excited!because of your many videos and many suggestions, I believe we Will have an amazing time. 🙏🏾
You’ll have to do a part 2: Suze, St Germain, Byrrh, Porto, Picon bierre, Clacquesin, Lillet, Dubonnet… Calvados is a more a digestif: a 3rd idea for a video. Keep it up! Great channel
OMG I love your videos! This one had me scratching my head a bit. A white wine kir is my go to apéro and I wouldn't consider the cassis a "syrup". You can definitely add less to make the kir less sweet. And I have to say I have never seen anyone drink Absinthe like that LOL! You don't pour the Absinthe on the sugar cube then eat it! You are supposed to have water drip over the sugar, slowly dissolving it into the drink. Then you also add water (like with Pastis) to your liking. But it looked like you all were having a blast!!
Thank you so much for this crazy vlog. It was an education that first made me smile, then laugh out loud as you were all getting more tipsy with each drink. I can’t imagine how the three of you got home. I tried Absinthe many years ago and really liked it. Thanks once again xxx
Super video! Laughed my way through it (and I wasn’t even drinking 😂) Vincent was right. My dad was part of the Normandy Invasion. And I grew up hearing his stories about how the GI’s were welcomed by the French with Calvados. When my husband and I visited Normandy in 1985, we brought him back a bottle. He took one sip and said, “It tastes like lighter fluid! I don’t know how we won that war!” 😂😂 The bottle we got in Normandy was very strong!
🇲🇫❤️Packing for Paris trip next week and watching Colleen, Antoine and Vincent get the giggles while drinking: delightful! I am making an aperitif or 2 or 3 to help packing process. Just booked Les Frenchies Vincent Thursday Food Tour, thrilled! A bientot🌹
I was introduced to the Lillet Spritz while in France. It's a tasty alternative to the Apérol Spirtz, especially if you're not keen on the bitter undertone of that apéritif.
3:00 The kir bears the name of Canon Felix KIR, the lord mayor of Dijon after WWII. For official receptions where champagne was usually served, he thought it wiser to serve a local drink called _un blanc-cassis_ instead. It is a dollop of black currant liquor with a glass of white wine, both produced in Burgundy.
Absolutely loved this video. We enjoy our cocktails now looking forward to try something different.Vincents food and wine tour sounds like something we may do when we come over New Years. Merci for your great videos.
Ha! My sister's favorite wine is that Whispering Angel rosé. It IS quite nice. This was so fun! I love to try different drinks or cocktails. And I'm right there with you: sparkling wine oe champagne with pizza is perfection. When my husband and I first got married, we got cheap wine and pizza for our "pizza and champagne" nights.
when i was a steudent , i made my overseas friends to taste the chartreuse ( mde by monks), well, they appreciated it....and slept on the floor after that.
It’s wonderful that you have each other to enjoy trips and food and friends and family. You both are truly blessed with each other. I love your videos I’ve been to Paris but would have enjoyed it more if I had seen your videos before I went.
As someone who cannot mix drinks, I thoroughly enjoyed watching you three have so much fun. I'm with Colleen and champagne and plan on drinking it daily when we visit in October. Happy Birthday/Joyeux Anniversaire Antoine! It appears you are still celebrating. Thank you for the fun, entertaining, and informative videos.
That looked like fun! The next time I come to France I want to meet up with you all because you really know how to share very interesting experiences 😊
Lots of fun. Spent 6 days riding my bike around Normandy before riding to the Cote d'Azur over the next few weeks. I absolutely loved Normandy Cider and Calvados. So many different tastes - just like wine. I made a vow not to have wine until I hit the Loire Valley. Once out of Normandy, most Brasseries and Cafes did not have cider, so I'm glad that I kept my vow. Cider and Gallettes or Moules Frites were heavenly combos, and apple sorbet with Calvados (le trou Normand) was amazing. Of course, I sampled lots of wines during the rest of my ride across France. Eating well, drinking nice wine as local as possible, having two desserts and eating local cheeses worked well for the rest of the voyage. My favourite part of France was always the part that I was in at the time. Each place was rich in it's own way and it's not even worth comparing. Thanks for bringing back memories.
Champagne will always be my choice of aperitif- just wish it was more affordable but even so, it’s worth it! I wish I had been in the bar when you were trying all the drinks - you all had such a good time!
Ahh pastis, nothing like if during the sweltering hot summer days in the south - I am sure that most people use it while playing pétanque as an aiming fluid 😆
Un plaisir de vous voir si joyeux. Pour moi qui suis moitié vénitienne, moitié normande, le cidre reste la boisson réconfortante par excellence et le poiré est vraiment très agréable à toutes saisons. Bonne continuation par ce temps radieux.
Oh my goodness! Hysterical! The giggles were infectious……thanks for the joy and great info! If and when I’m in Paris next….I’d love to do a tour with Vincent. Belated Happy Birthday Antoine! X
I’m going to Paris in April 2024( my first time) and you guys are helping me a lot. I’m enjoying your wine tastings, cheese advices and walks . Taking lots of notes. I ll take your advice and will drink champagne every day I’m in Paris. Thank u❤️ Cheers 🥂
Hi guys, I am French, and I am impressed by your videos. Always kind, you understand very well the culture and the people and at the same time you give your own impression. Congratulations, you both are very nice people. I like your sense of humour too :)
Yet another hilarious, giggeling, light hearted but informative tasting. Loved it! Tbc with Noilly Prat (french Dry Martini style Vermouth) or Muscat (natural sweet wine, served ice-cold), not to forget the numerous digèstifs, like les eaux-de-vie d'Alsace. 😊
Thanks for your recommendation of Drinks and Company. We were in Paris and staying close to the St. Lazare Station. We decided to go in and try some cocktails. The mixologist was fantastic! We tried 2 cocktails each off the menu and then had her mix us her own creations. All of the drinks were fabulous! Would totally recommend this place. On a Tuesday this place was happening. Line up to get in after 6 pm.

Put a wig and glasses on Antoine and good luck telling them apart, especially after a few drinks
Yeah! I laugh when he did it;notice that to.

@@vincentdupont315 Any recommendations for a wine tasting on a Friday, Satuday or Sunday? Thank you
You guys are great.
*5:27** We have the same tastes, Colleen!!! But I also love Kir Royal!* 🥂🫐🍾🍷
I was introduced to the Lillet Spritz while in France. It's a tasty alternative to the Apérol Spirtz, especially if you're not keen on the bitter undertone of that apéritif.
Lillet is the French Aperitif since 1872 - now comes in 3 varieties: white, red and rose. Forms the base of lots of cocktails too.

For official receptions where champagne was usually served, he thought it wiser to serve a local drink called _un blanc-cassis_ instead.

Happy Birthday/Joyeux Anniversaire Antoine! It appears you are still celebrating. Thank you for the fun, entertaining, and informative videos.
Drink champagne everyday is some of the best advice I’ve ever heard. Enjoy your trip!

My favourite part of France was always the part that I was in at the time. Each place was rich in it's own way and it's not even worth comparing. Thanks for bringing back memories.
My new favorite video. Thanks for all the good info
Love that you always make things real. Fantastic!! When I get back to Paris, a tour is on my list.
Champagne will always be my choice of aperitif- just wish it was more affordable but even so, it’s worth it! I wish I had been in the bar when you were trying all the drinks - you all had such a good time!
Ahh pastis, nothing like if during the sweltering hot summer days in the south - I am sure that most people use it while playing pétanque as an aiming fluid 😆
Un plaisir de vous voir si joyeux. Pour moi qui suis moitié vénitienne, moitié normande, le cidre reste la boisson réconfortante par excellence et le poiré est vraiment très agréable à toutes saisons. Bonne continuation par ce temps radieux.
Merci à vous. Nous sommes ravis de vous avoir apporté un peu de bonne humeur
Oh my goodness! Hysterical! The giggles were infectious……thanks for the joy and great info! If and when I’m in Paris next….I’d love to do a tour with Vincent. Belated Happy Birthday Antoine! X
Thank you 😊
Hell Andrea, I'm Vincent, it will be a pleasuere for me, to do a tour for you, when you'll be in Paris. See you soon 🙂@@LesFrenchiesTravel

Superb! Thank you so much!!
I’m going to Paris in April 2024( my first time) and you guys are helping me a lot. I’m enjoying your wine tastings, cheese advices and walks . Taking lots of notes. I ll take your advice and will drink champagne every day I’m in Paris. Thank u❤️
Cheers 🥂
Cheers!
Great video - they must be fun to party with!
Arrive in Paris with my husband and 6 good friends, October 9, for a week. Watching your videos have given our group some great information. Merci
Aperol Spritz is Aperol, Sparkling Water & Prosecco over ice, also Campari Spritz (same ingredients, but Campari instead of Aperol )
Hi guys, I am French, and I am impressed by your videos. Always kind, you understand very well the culture and the people and at the same time you give your own impression. Congratulations, you both are very nice people. I like your sense of humour too :)
Thank you 😊
Yet another hilarious, giggeling, light hearted but informative tasting. Loved it! Tbc with Noilly Prat (french Dry Martini style Vermouth) or Muscat (natural sweet wine, served ice-cold), not to forget the numerous digèstifs, like les eaux-de-vie d'Alsace. 😊
Thanks for your recommendation of Drinks and Company. We were in Paris and staying close to the St. Lazare Station. We decided to go in and try some cocktails. The mixologist was fantastic! We tried 2 cocktails each off the menu and then had her mix us her own creations. All of the drinks were fabulous! Would totally recommend this place. On a Tuesday this place was happening. Line up to get in after 6 pm.
