For unknown reasons TH-cam sent me to this video and thought I'd enjoy it, which I did very much. Thanks for braving the rain! Many many years ago I lived in that area and those streets were very much my local neighbourhood, and the boulangerie in the Place de l'estrapade is where we got all our bread (except on Sundays when it was closed, as it still seems to be!). It looks like nobody has commented this after all this time, but a brocheur (45.40) is a bookbinder and indirectly where we get the word brochure in English. (Brocher means to stitch together). Incidentally, if you'd gone on straight in the opposite direction from the square (south-east instead of north-west) down the rue Lhomond for one block, you'd encounter the Irish Cultural Centre in the rue des Irlandais which is a gem and probably worth a video on its own (including two of those old street name inscriptions that you like on the corner of the building), and around the corner , appropriately in the rue Pierre & Marie Curie, the Curie Institute which they built for the money from their Nobel prizes and the grounds of which still has their original lab (off limits to the public because of radiation but there's a great small museum). I'm off to see what you share about other parts of Paris now!
Thank you for braving the rain to bring us this wonderful walk. The Square de L'Estrapade is so charming....you'd never guess such horrors once took place there!
Hello, . Gosh, thank you, your tour was splendid. I loved the before and after painting as well of the, house where the Directory, 28 volumes were clandestinely written, when King and Church banned it. You put so much fascinating history, architecture and even the horrendous torture device, in your videos; it's fantastic. To show a photo of the origjnal cafe, WW11, to compare then and now was genius. How wonderful, that parachuted French resistance fighters were hidden, in this very same, place so many years ago. I loved your video and narration, thank you, I am off to watch all of them. I hope you are dry and cosy now and having a reviving glass and lovely chat. 😍
I ran across you video of the cinquième arrondissement and I was trilled. I grew up 31 Rue Tournefort and my grandfather owned the little hôtel 25 Rue Tournefort. That was in the 30 s , before WW2. If you are looking for for more history about the place: - Where you start ,place Lucien Herr, is the place where I went to school and it was renamed place Kennedy in the sixties. I see they went back to place Lucien Herr ??? -On the wall of 25 Rue Tournefort there is a plaque which says that the house belonged to Prosper Mérimé ,the author of the novel « Carmen » that Bizet used for his opera. - Rue Amyot is where Marie Curie with the help of Pierre processed the pitchblende that led them to the discovery of Polonium and Radium. L’hôpital Curie is just at the end of the street. -Rue des Fossés St.Jacques , you wondered what a « brocheur » was . I believe that it is the guy who was making des livres brochés as opposed to les livres reliés. The former are soft covered books with a square glued edge,the latter are hard covered better hard covered books held together by threads. They use long needles, broches. Also skewers en broche, brochettes de mouton😋.brochure …. - if serrurerie is number one , chirurgie is number two 😂 -
Thank you for exposing yourself to the rain just to show us this wonderful video. I like how you bring pictures of paintings or illustrations to show us how things were before and how they are now. This is a pretty special place that I will make it a point to come in visit the next time I'm in Paris.
Really enjoyed revisiting these streets through your eyes. Loved and appreciated the time you took to savour the beautiful details. I stayed in this area when I visited my 18 yr old daughter who was an exchange student in France, from Australia. Such a gift.
Such a great episode Corey. Thank you for braving the rain to bring a piece of Paris many won’t ever see. I stayed in the 5th and loved the area. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💙🤍❤️ 🥰🥰🥰
Exquis ! This is by far the most enjoyable, informative & visually stunning video of any city, by anyone. It simply begs for more (which is what I'm doing, actually). Will be on the look-out both past & future episodessodes. Merci mille foes. D
Bonsoir, Corey, Merci mille fois pour votre vidéo de "Le Quartier Latin" - c'est un cadeau pour nous, votre audience. The wind and the rain in Paris today only enhanced the atmosphere for your viewers. I loved it, all of it. Am I inferring properly that the reason the restaurant "Oh Puree" is closed today is that it is Sunday ( le dimanche )? Ou - pourquoi ?
So glad I found this channel, I subscribed immediately, thank you, you made my day as focusing on the details of Paris art and architecture is also a wonderful way to relax and being in the moment
Merci. Paris a été plusieurs petites villes, dans le passé, au temps de Napoléon : Montmartre, Beaugrenelle, Montparnasse, Clignancourt , Billancourt, Boulogne, Etc …
Really enjoyed this. Ashamed to say I've actually stayed in a hotel very near this area and yet never explored these particular streets. Nice to see almost no graffiti (except for a little on the raisable store fronts) during this tour. Are the Parisian authorities finally cracking down on graffiti and removing it? Hope so.
Paris and it's Authorities have a lot of work to do to Clean Up Paris...they are Renovating Notre Dame Church...now is the time to Restore All of Paris to it's former Glory...Those who commit Thefts of Visitors and other Crimes...get them Cleaning !! Graffiti is so awful to see...and does not belong amongst those Beautiful Buildings and Neighborhoods..🌻
@@deniereynolds6119 Oh I see what you mean. No not at all, that square is very charming nowadays. The history of it isn’t common knowledge to most of the locals.
À mon avis, le mot pour écureuil est plus difficile à prononcer pour le français en anglais et le mot écureuil en français est tout aussi difficile pour les anglophones.
Absolument! Et pas seulement en anglais. Cet animal et difficule dans plusieurs languages pour les étrangers: squirrel (anglais) , wiewiórka (polonais), Eichhörnchen (allemand), eekhoorn (hollandais)...
Yes, watch the lady in red riding her bicycle CORRECTLY down the bicycle lane at Rue de L’Escapade, she looks at you , saying WHY, WHY ..do you think just because you are a blogger you can NOT follow the rules of traffic. So rude just shows how “entitled” you think you are.
The Latin Quarter is a hidden gem! I can't wait to visit next time I'm in Paris!
Glad you enjoyed this, thanks for leaving a comment! Like so many neighborhoods in Paris there’s always another layer, and another layer 😍
Watching again on a cold winter evening.
I am watching this long after you film it. But wonderful!!
re-watching this episode on a cold winter day. I love this area of Paris

Thank you! This was mesmerizing. Your knowledge of history, and appreciation of artistry and nature, are much appreciated.
Yes
Thanks so much for that. I'm happy to find like-minded folks who can geek out over a fancy balcony or obscure historical anecdote 😊
Congratulations on a well done tour! I love all of it, but specially that last square. What a hidden gem! Hope to visit it next time I visit Paris.
Many thanks, I appreciate that! Hope you can return to Paris soon.

Loved this exploration of the Marais!! Thanks! In reference to Le Brocheur, I think it was a bookbinder.
Headed to Paris on the 15th. Thx for the vid.
I Love Paris City
Really enjoyed this. Ashamed to say I've actually stayed in a hotel very near this area and yet never explored these particular streets.
Nice to see almost no graffiti (except for a little on the raisable store fronts) during this tour. Are the Parisian authorities finally cracking down on graffiti and removing it? Hope so.

Thank you! we enjoyed this and yes, we tried pronoucing that word...several times, haha. Happy independence day to you as well!
Bravo for trying! Haha
@@afrenchfryeinparis :)
Jazz! I want jazz!!
so many buildings
O. No comment other than the sound and visual are good
Does the park have an eerie vibe?
Which park are you referring to?
The one where people were hung by their arms. Yikes! A piazza in Rome where a monk was burned at the stake has a very gloomy vibe.
@@deniereynolds6119 Oh I see what you mean. No not at all, that square is very charming nowadays. The history of it isn’t common knowledge to most of the locals.
on appelle ce quartier La Mouffe , cest mon quartier , et votre visite commence rue Lhomond
Its fitting that Emily In Paris' apartment is in a Square named after a Torture Device because watching the show IS very Torturous
Haha although I haven't seen the series myself I've seen the mixed reviews so I'm not surprised by your comment. Well done! 😆

Not a great episode. Sorry.
