*I absolutely love these videos.* We used their advice on how to use public transportation while traveling in Paris on our trip and their advice was such a blessing. They gave great tips about the RER that was vital to how we got around. *This is the best and most polished travel advice series on TH-cam.*
Ancienne parisienne je me régale avec vos vidéos qui doivent être très utiles pour les touristes . J’adore la façon dont Antoine agite ses bras quand il goûte un plat et qu’il l’aime 😂. Vous êtes un couple extrêmement sympathique et encore bravo. Vous êtes de parfaits ambassadeurs de notre belle capitale.👏
Yes it’s true you are also visiting different parts of France I really enjoyed your trip to Strasbourg and its famous marché de Noël. I ´ll have to view more of your youtube channel with so many interesting reportages. So nice to follow you when you say « on y va « @@vincentdupont315
Really love your videos! Tiny suggestion without trying to criticize: I think it would be helpful to pronounce French words the French way. Le Marais is not le marey, or hotel de ville, crêpe... I understand it may be easier for English speaking people to understand what you're saying when you slightly give the words an English pronunciation, but I have noticed our English speaking guests (we welcome guests in our holiday rentals here in Burgundy) really appreciate it when I tell them how to pronounce things correctly when they go out into the area here. It helps them be understood by the locals. And with Antoine being a native it should be easy for you to do? Do keep making these videos! They are so informative and helpful!
"Mrs. Frenchie" has terrible pronunciation, yet her husband has quite good pronunciation. She has been making these videos with her husband for years and doesn't make the slightest effort to improve. I can't stand to listen to her, she so butchers the language. Too bad because the videos are otherwise reasonably worthwhile. When I watch them, I just mute her out of the show or skip over her portions.
@@wberckmannagreed!! Her accent doesn’t haven’t to be even close to perfect, but it is painfully far off. (Surely she also knows it’s not LES Marais). That aside, I absolutely love these videos.
First of all, Happy New Year to you two. Secondly, the Marais is my favourite part of Paris. Beautiful ancient properties. Lots of places to eat, and museums to visit. Perfect. Thank you so much!
Great video. Could you please consider making some videos focusing on each of the outer arrondisements? When we visited Paris, we stayed in the 19th along the Villette canal and loved it. Not crowded and more laid back. I would love to learn about other off the beaten path areas. Merci!
I stayed in Le Marais when in Paris in October, and I’ve decided that the 3rd arrondissement is for me when I visit again. It was so walkable, and where I stayed was very much a neighborhood neighborhood.
Excellent! I lived in Le Marais for two months last spring and you captured it really well here. Once I learned about Marché des Enfants Rouge, that’s where I spent more and more time with friends. It’s just enough off the beaten path that you don’t see as many tourists. And the people-watching is fantastic.
Le Marché des enfants rouges est effectivement un très bon endroit pour se restaurer à Paris, fréquenté essentiellement par des locaux, grande variété de nourriture du monde entier et prix très abordables, en tant qu'ancien parisien je m'y rends régulièrement lorsque je vais faire un tour à Paris, je n'ai jamais été déçu.
J'ai travaillé dans une poissonnerie de la rue d'Aligre il y a plus de 25 ans.Nous y sommes allés cet automne et avons visité le Marché.Je vais regardé votre liste d'hébergements car nous avons été décus du rapport qualité/prix et de la dimension des chambres.Nous avons traversé le marais et bien aimé,c'est certain. J'aime bien vos capsules gastronomiques. André,de Montréal,Québec.
Loved this. Can you please do a video catering to families with younger children? Suggest some family friendly spots to eat, things to do? Would be so appreciative.
Initially, I thought you were going to encourage us to branch away from the Marais, which is a great idea but I still laughed! You two have many talents, not the least of which is to introduce us to the delights of every place you have taken us. So I laughed because if you want to encourage us away from the Marais, you will have to take yourselves away so that we fall in love with other regions. I know, I know. What have you been doing for the last 3+ years if NOT that? But the initial bark of laughter was because of where I thought you were going in the first 30-40 seconds of the video. Reality did not play a role in what I was thinking. Great video! I kept rewinding (I know) to catch the name of the Patisserie but failed miserably. Your guide is FANTASTIC! I didn’t realize how interactive it is until I tried to save it as a document to access it off line. It has been VERY well done!
Based on your recommendations, we stayed in Le Marais for a week in early November, 2023. We were at the Parisianer Hotel, right next to the Gare de Lyon. Well located on a quiet street, we slept very well. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area, especially around Place de la Bastille. A lot of great patisseries and restaurants in the area. Easy to walk or take the Metro! Thanks again to Colleen and Antoine!
We stayed at the Villa Beaumarchais on Rue de Arbusquires in 2010. It was quiet at night, provided a fantastic breakfast and had a very friendly staff.
The street “Rue de Braque” in Le Marais is where we stayed for five days at an Airbnb. And then I found out after research, that this street is listed as one of the most beautiful streets in Paris, and it was. It was perfect. 👍
I love rue de Braque. I live right next to it, but I've always loved how when you turn the corner into that street if feels like you're suddenly thrown into a medieval town with a castle at the end
Bonjour guys. Love Le Marais, always go to eat gallet there in Le Breize cafe, the best😁… ah! And the character Le cochon has the beeeest jambon au beurré !
On our last visit to Paris, September 2019 (alas too long ago) we stayed in a comfortable Airbnb in Rue des Blancs Manteaux. A lovely quiet street. The Eglise Notre-Dame des Blancs Manteaux, just a few metres along from where we stayed, is beautiful inside and has lovely acoustics.
Doing a deep dive into the neighbourhoods of Paris is a spectacularly good idea. And the Marais is obviously one of the best and you’ve represented it beautifully here. I do have to challenge your view that the lineup at L’As falafel is not worth standing in. That line up moves quickly and if a falafel could be life-changing, well, that’s the one that is. :-) thank you for yet another delectable peek into Paris that goes beyond the surface and into the real magic of the city.
Perhaps, but the Falafels in nearby places are every bit as good (at least one even better). Also, as Sunstone who appreciated small business, I dungy like that the owner of L'As du Fallafel bought the building across the way where another restaurant was and rolled their tent because he didn't want competition. In my opinion, that's dirty business. I'm not a fan.
Thank you so much for the videos and the free guide. My wife and I have looked for small family hotels in Paris owned and run by parisians. Yes romantic but surely not impossible. ⚘️
As always, lovely video as well as informative. I always stay at a Ritz Carlton hotel. Personally it’s for the points and..well there usually pretty nice too. Happy new year 🎉. Looking forward to 2024 😊
My husband and I just returned from Paris this past December. Although this recommendation is in a very different area, this music club was the highlight of our trip. It is called: Les Chopes des Puces. It is a “Jazz Hot” style music club and restaurant/cafe. The music happens in Sunday afternoons I believe and the music was out of this world GREAT. It is rumored that Django Reinhardt himself started this club. Don’t walk, run to this place! Also told to avoid this area at night but also a very extensive market, kind of high end, maybe catering to decorators, not sure, that is worth walking through. This is one of those experiences that will stay with me forever. Any trip back to Paris will include a Sunday afternoon here.
I spent two wonderful weeks in Paris -- on a budget. My son and I stayed in an Airbnb in the suburb of Montreuil. It would be nice to see a video where to stay for those of us who have a limited budget; which suburb is safe, which one is convenient, etc
I would say to avoid the suburbs on the north of Paris as a general rule, safety wise, though that also includes some on the eastern region as well but not all of them. Recently stayed in Romainville and was nice as you can get spacier townhouses and take a quick metro to paris for the day. I had previously reserved one in montreuil but the area where the airbnb was was sketchy and i left. Ppl told me to avoid bagnolet as well, not sure why (on the eastern side). I also stayed in a southern suburb (ivry) and it was nice though not a lot to do but well connected with the tram. Went around in bus in next door vitry too but didnt like it so much. Walked through Villejuif which was safe and mostly nice townhouses like ivry. They say the south western suburbs are the best/safest though not always the most connected with public transport networks, and more expensive relative to other suburbs but cheaper than Paris. Guess it also depends on personal taste, type of accomodation, etc. What I did last time is take a hotel for 1-2 days and visited the suburbs where the various listings I was interested were in beforehand so I could see what the surroundings, vibes, transport was like. I am a solo female traveler and safety is something I have to consider now.
I hope you show some love to Belleville in one of your videos. Love that neighborhood. Le Marais is a little too in love with itself for me, but I do love to drop in for some shopping or a meal.
Thank you for the best advice for visiting Paris on TH-cam. And for the hotel guide plus the link to Vincent's tours. I recommend your channel to everyone going to Paris. Again, thank you.
We were in Paris in 2015 on a APT tour. We stayed at the Hotel Du Collectionneur. The food and drinks were expensive however the room and service was good.
Le Marais means swamp. It was the mostly marsh area just north of Notre Dame cathedral. A big portion of Le Marais is the Jewish neighborhood of Paris. Best Bagel, cream cheese, and Lox you'll have in your life. Yes....that's an official challenge 😉
My daughter and I stayed at Hotel de Jobo last summer and absolutely loved it! The smell (rose!), the decor, the staff, the location, even the tiny elevator. We still talk about it fondly. Love your videos, Les Frenchies!
Happy New Year you two! I love your videos! The best travel food porn on the Tube! I’ll be visiting in June and again in October. Making a list that I have confidence in - thanks to you both. I’ve said this before - I’m vegan - (heart issues) - but get my vicarious naughty food fix via your videos - keep it coming! I’ll be investing in your guides for sure! ❤
I love watching you guys take us around Paris. You two have so much fun. I got a lot of useful information from this video and will probably watch it a couple more times before we go.
I lucked out when I accidentally found your video blogs. Excellent and fantastic information. It’s been a few years since I was in Paris (actually pre 911), so your information is invaluable. Merci!!❤😘
When we were in Paris, we stayed in an AirBnB just around the corner from Place Des Vosges....The entire area was very cool to walk around in....and the 96 Bus was right by 'our' door....took us right to Place St Michel and the rest of Paris.
My Airbnb is literally one block from the River Seine, and next to Sorbonne Universite, Pierre et Marie Curie Campus. Not sure if that's considered the Latin Quarter or St Germaine. It's a studio that costs $106 per night, and accepts my petit teckel. 10 days of leisure strolls and picnics in the month of May, watching the locals go about their day.
PLEASE... My very good friend and I are going to take a trip to paris mid JAN. We live in Germany, so its just a couple of hours on a train away! We come often, and I have enjoyed your channel EMENSLY!!!!!! I would welcome the opportunity to do a meet and greet ! You are a beautiful couple and My husband and I don't miss a post!
We haven't solidified dates yet but we are tentatively looking at Jan 15th or 20th. I hope to make firm plans in the next week. I will ABSOLUTLY let you know ASAP!!!! I hope those dates will be okay for you, and I hope to see you both soon!😍@@LesFrenchiesTravel
My husband and I are planning our 10 year anniversary trip to France and your videos have been SO VERY helpful to the planning process! I think we are going to spend a day or two in Paris (I'm going to have to do more research with you videos for these days in Paris), visit the Musee Monet, go visit Mont Saint Michelle, stop and visit some towns on the way to Bordeaux, then go get some macrons and wine taste! Allez, on y va!
You two do a great job of reviewing Paris. I appreciate it. I found your videos very helpful for my stay this past October. I would appreciate your take on the upcoming Paris Olympics in 2024. Many travel sites have advised to stay away during that period of time (26 July - 11 August). I would never consider a trip to France during August anyway, but I'm wondering about the advisability for travel both before and after the games. I suspect that prices will be elevated, not only during the games but also before. But what about afterward?
I really enjoy your videos. I used to walk in Paris and its museums until my feet were blistering. Last year, my wife and I traveled with our 1yo, and it was easy to find a playground and then visit museums while she napped. We’re now planning a trip with our girl when she’ll be 2 1/2. Any recommendations of attractions for toddlers? Mercy!
I took 3 years of French in high school...that was 20 years ago. I had all the troublemakers in my class, so I barely learned anything. Over time, I forgot the little that I learned. However, watching your videos, its starting to come back to me. I am remembering the basics...how to introduce myself, ask if someone speaks English, order food, etc. I plan on going to Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Plan on spending 5 days there, and 3 days in Paris. I love chocolate and cheese fondue. Any recommendations?
Could you please do a video on how to get from CDG to the Eiffel tower or other attractions? For people who have layovers 😅 I live in the US, specifically the DC area, and I honestly find our metro a lot easier to use
They’ve actually already done a great video on public transportation in Paris. It helped us navigate our way through the city successfully. *Be sure to follow their advice about not overpacking because you will encounter a lot of stairs on the way out of the train stations.*
I'd say take the Roissy bus, which will drop you at l'Opéra. From there, you can walk to the Eiffel tower, or take bus 42. I always avoid the metro in Paris because you can't see anything underground!
Hi just wondering when the Olympic arena will go up. We wanted to visit 10-14th July? Do you think we should change the date as it says a few land marks will be being used. Thanks
Once again..great info. I wonder if french bacon is distinctly different in taste from our standard 🇺🇸 bacon, i.e. Oscar Mayer? Didn't try but I would think it's smokier, earthier, fresh off the farm.
Am running for the flight now! Hubs and I are celebrating our 41st anniversary in March. Thank you for mentioning the LBGTQ clubs. Hopefully I shall get to show John Paris.
Last time I visited Paris, we stayed at an Airbnb in le Marais (two couples), and I much preferred it to staying at a hotel, even a nice one. Having your own kitchen and living area makes such a difference, especially when travelling with friends, and not dealing with a front desk or staff just feels more relaxed. Gives you the opportunity to take advantage of the shops to stock yourselves up for snacks/apero and live less like a tourist and more comme un vrai parisien! Also, as a tourist, I love how bike-friendly the city is now, althogh I bet most parisians are annoyed by it.
We discovered you by accident. We're leaving next week to spend 86 days in France and northeastern Spain. A dream of mine. I love your recommendations for practical matters. One thing I haven't seen are some tips on navigating getting sick. Since France's system is a bit different than ours in the states, I'd like to know what the differences are.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel I'm glad you like my suggestion! I'm a nurse, so these little tidbits are useful. Maybe we'll see you on the streets of Paris while we're there. 5th time in Paris! We'll be spending my birthday in one of your recommended hotels. We usually are more budget friendly.
Le Marais is lovely to walk around but it’s extremely busy with so many tourists. Great place for young people. Nothing beat the 6th Saint-Germain area.
I thoroughly enjoy your informative channel. I will be traveling to Paris and other European cities in the very near future. Question: Years ago, I travelled on Eurail and found I could use the Information Kiosk, designated by 'I' at major train stations to make reservations for hotels and train travels. This was years ago. Do those Information Kiosks still exist for travelers to make hotel/pensione/accommodations bookings upon arrival? I found them to be very useful which gave me lots of flexibility with my itinerary instead of booking ahead with fixed accommodation. Your views are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hey, faites un tour à Deauville, Trouville, Honfleur quand il fera beau vers le printemps. Vous pouvez prendre le train à la Gare Saint-lazare (1h45). Si vous le souhaitez, vous pouvez prendre un autre train pour aller à Cabourg.

It would be very helpful if when you mention a street or eatery that you add a caption with the name of the street/eatery.. Thanks!

Happy New Year! I’ve stayed in the Marais twice in Airbnbs and it’s my favorite neighborhood. So much to do and eat.
happy new year🎉😊😊😊 thanks for sharing 😊😊😊great video👍
Im so glad I found you. Going to Paris in October
I always find your videos so informative! You guys are such a lovely couple! I will be in Paris in April!
Great video ❤
Love all your videos ! Thank You !
We are flying there to this neighborhood tonight!! Can't wait!
Très splendide et superbe vidéo culturelle e touristique de la semaine
My Airbnb is literally one block from the River Seine, and next to Sorbonne Universite, Pierre et Marie Curie Campus. Not sure if that's considered the Latin Quarter or St Germaine. It's a studio that costs $106 per night, and accepts my petit teckel. 10 days of leisure strolls and picnics in the month of May, watching the locals go about their day.
That's Latin Quarter. One of my favorite areas ♡
Have you guys bought your tickets for the Olympics yet? You must be so excited!
PLEASE... My very good friend and I are going to take a trip to paris mid JAN. We live in Germany, so its just a couple of hours on a train away! We come often, and I have enjoyed your channel EMENSLY!!!!!! I would welcome the opportunity to do a meet and greet ! You are a beautiful couple and My husband and I don't miss a post!
what dates will you be in Paris?
We haven't solidified dates yet but we are tentatively looking at Jan 15th or 20th. I hope to make firm plans in the next week. I will ABSOLUTLY let you know ASAP!!!! I hope those dates will be okay for you, and I hope to see you both soon!😍@@LesFrenchiesTravel
Great info! I don't understand though why Colleen says "Les" (lay) Marais instead of "Le" Marais...
It's a throw back to speaking Spanish in Miami. I struggle to shake that one.
My husband and I are planning our 10 year anniversary trip to France and your videos have been SO VERY helpful to the planning process! I think we are going to spend a day or two in Paris (I'm going to have to do more research with you videos for these days in Paris), visit the Musee Monet, go visit Mont Saint Michelle, stop and visit some towns on the way to Bordeaux, then go get some macrons and wine taste! Allez, on y va!
Your awesome and awesome video be safe out there happy new year
You two do a great job of reviewing Paris. I appreciate it. I found your videos very helpful for my stay this past October.
I would appreciate your take on the upcoming Paris Olympics in 2024. Many travel sites have advised to stay away during that period of time (26 July - 11 August). I would never consider a trip to France during August anyway, but I'm wondering about the advisability for travel both before and after the games. I suspect that prices will be elevated, not only during the games but also before. But what about afterward?
AMAZING❤🎉
Great walk. Where did you have the pita sandwiches? They looked fantastic but I didn’t catch the name.
Thank you! You are doing good job!
Thank you!
I now know where I’m gonna stay in Paris next year!
The food looks scrumptious!
We are staying the 1st, I may need to add the neighborhood on list of places to visit. Love the videos.
Sending you the best!
We looooove Le Marais! My daughter’s lives close to Place des Vosges.
These pitas looks so delicious
Excellent.Do you guys know Jay Swanson's channel?
You guys have a fantastic channel
I really enjoy your videos. I used to walk in Paris and its museums until my feet were blistering. Last year, my wife and I traveled with our 1yo, and it was easy to find a playground and then visit museums while she napped. We’re now planning a trip with our girl when she’ll be 2 1/2. Any recommendations of attractions for toddlers? Mercy!
great videos, Do you have videos for medium to low hotels cost and great budget restaurants?
C'est mon quartier et je l'aurais sûrement fait visiter moins bien que vous... J 'ai découvert vos vidéos récemment et je vous adore. Bravo à vous !
Merci!
❤❤❤excellent video
Thank you 🤗
I took 3 years of French in high school...that was 20 years ago. I had all the troublemakers in my class, so I barely learned anything. Over time, I forgot the little that I learned. However, watching your videos, its starting to come back to me. I am remembering the basics...how to introduce myself, ask if someone speaks English, order food, etc. I plan on going to Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Plan on spending 5 days there, and 3 days in Paris. I love chocolate and cheese fondue. Any recommendations?
#96 bus best bus to Marais...and then into the 11 th which is also cool...
Could you please do a video on how to get from CDG to the Eiffel tower or other attractions? For people who have layovers 😅 I live in the US, specifically the DC area, and I honestly find our metro a lot easier to use
They’ve actually already done a great video on public transportation in Paris. It helped us navigate our way through the city successfully. *Be sure to follow their advice about not overpacking because you will encounter a lot of stairs on the way out of the train stations.*
I'd say take the Roissy bus, which will drop you at l'Opéra. From there, you can walk to the Eiffel tower, or take bus 42.
I always avoid the metro in Paris because you can't see anything underground!
Hi just wondering when the Olympic arena will go up. We wanted to visit 10-14th July? Do you think we should change the date as it says a few land marks will be being used. Thanks
Once again..great info. I wonder if french bacon is distinctly different in taste from our standard 🇺🇸 bacon, i.e. Oscar Mayer? Didn't try but I would think it's smokier, earthier, fresh off the farm.
LOL... basin in France is like thin slices pork deli meat. Think Canadian bacon, only super thin!
Thanks..don't you love autospell!@@LesFrenchiesTravel

❤❤thrift shops
Thanks for this new video. Where do you buy bus tickets in le marais?
The bus takes the same ticket as the metro (the t+ ticket). Buy them in a metro station.
Am running for the flight now! Hubs and I are celebrating our 41st anniversary
in March. Thank you for mentioning the LBGTQ clubs. Hopefully I shall get to
show John Paris.
Have you sone a segment on South Asia restaurants. Some are excellent. Passage Brady is well known with varying degrees of quality.
Q: Le La Les

Stayed in le Marais years ago. Great location.
Last time I visited Paris, we stayed at an Airbnb in le Marais (two couples), and I much preferred it to staying at a hotel, even a nice one. Having your own kitchen and living area makes such a difference, especially when travelling with friends, and not dealing with a front desk or staff just feels more relaxed. Gives you the opportunity to take advantage of the shops to stock yourselves up for snacks/apero and live less like a tourist and more comme un vrai parisien! Also, as a tourist, I love how bike-friendly the city is now, althogh I bet most parisians are annoyed by it.
We discovered you by accident. We're leaving next week to spend 86 days in France and northeastern Spain. A dream of mine. I love your recommendations for practical matters. One thing I haven't seen are some tips on navigating getting sick. Since France's system is a bit different than ours in the states, I'd like to know what the differences are.
Great suggestion, thank you Sue! 😁
@@LesFrenchiesTravel I'm glad you like my suggestion! I'm a nurse, so these little tidbits are useful. Maybe we'll see you on the streets of Paris while we're there. 5th time in Paris! We'll be spending my birthday in one of your recommended hotels. We usually are more budget friendly.
Le Marais is lovely to walk around but it’s extremely busy with so many tourists. Great place for young people. Nothing beat the 6th Saint-Germain area.
I thoroughly enjoy your informative channel. I will be traveling to Paris and other European cities in the very near future. Question:
Years ago, I travelled on Eurail and found I could use the Information Kiosk, designated by 'I' at major train stations to make reservations for hotels and train travels. This was years ago. Do those Information Kiosks still exist for travelers to make hotel/pensione/accommodations bookings upon arrival? I found them to be very useful which gave me lots of flexibility with my itinerary instead of booking ahead with fixed accommodation.
Your views are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hey, faites un tour à Deauville, Trouville, Honfleur quand il fera beau vers le printemps. Vous pouvez prendre le train à la Gare Saint-lazare (1h45). Si vous le souhaitez, vous pouvez prendre un autre train pour aller à Cabourg.
We already have videos there!
