My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa and hoping to make the city of light my home base - at least for the foreseeable future. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much.

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? Over four years now, holy cow.
What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS
You're always talking about living on some ship. WHAT SHIP? - I made a "Draw My Life" video that explains a lot here: • Draw My Life
Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).
What do you film with? - I've made a lot of changes recently, but I try to keep my gear list up to date if you want to see what I use and buy some for yourself: bit.ly/JaysGear...
What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school.
Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do.
Why are you living in #Paris? - Because I've always wanted to; I feel at home here: • Why I Want to Live in ...
Do you speak French? - Oui. • Un Jour en Francais (E...
Do you make money off TH-cam? - Ha, sorta. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.
I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - The easiest and best way to support me is through Patreon, where you can pitch in as little as $5/mo to help me make better videos: / jayswanson
I don't trust this Patreon thing - can I just paypal you? - Here's my ko-fi if that's your thing (and coffee is your game): ko-fi.com/jays...
But I want to send you something tangible! - I do have a wishlist on Amazon, though it's a bit complicated with the international shipping situation. So instead people often drop off or ship things to the Peloton Cafe in Paris for me.
Thanks for watching!
Montmartre feels like an underrated area. It’s a district of Paris I’ve always wanted to visit.
It's great!
Thanks for all recommendations. I will be in Paris next week in Montmartre specifically. Your videos have definitely given me confidence to explore the city like a pro. Merci!
So glad to hear that!🍻
Never get bored of Montmarte! Planning to go next week while in Paris. If you are a cat lover, go to Montmartre Cemetery! The cemetery is great to visit on it's own but the cats are the main attraction for me!! Just don't pet them if you plan on keeping your fingers!!
Ok. Now I want to go to there cos of the kitties! I want to try to fit in Pere Lachaise though. ( sp??) But it's not in my 2 areas I am trying to cover in 2 days. I did see some cats at Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. But one was starving and begging me for food. And following me. I had nothing to give her but water. : (
Bro, this new series… excellent! You are hitting your stride and very helpful. Excellent presentation skills. Gratitude!❤️🙏🏼🦅🌸
Glad you just uploaded this as I'll be in Montmartre this weekend!
🎉🎉
Hope your channel blows up, Jay! More power to you ✊🏻
Montmartre was one of the highlights of my trip to Paris for sure. I am loving this Paris in My Pocket Series!!! (PS I was going to abbreviate Paris In My Pocket into an acronym....that is not a good idea....hahaha)
Awesome, well made vlog. So professional. Love Montmartre area. And love how you integrated the ad. 😀
Thank you!
Thank you for another great video! Love the combo of what to do, IG worthy spots and food critic all rolled into one! Nice to see Nathaniel & his parents. I recently just started following them as well. Looking forward to the next video! P.S. - I liked how you snuck in that sponsor promo. Good job!
Thank you! I figure if I'm gonna do it, I need to do it as well (and unobtrusively) as possible 😊
Omg Cooper is soooo adorable. Great info and thank you for sharing all the great eateries and coffee shops. ❤️👍🌿⚘️🌿
Hi Jay I've just come back from Paris we stayed behind the sacré cœur me and my wife loved it apart from nearly getting assaulted at the bottom of the sacré cœur at the merry go round he tried to put a bracelet on my wrist but apart from that its a beautiful area.
Just found out I will be staying in the Montmarte District next month. I have saved all these places!
Thank you, this helped me on my upcoming trip to Paris next week. Love your pup!
Hi Jay ,I'm glad to see you're back making videos. I enjoy these videos where you show special places in Paris. You look like you took off some weight. It's very becoming but you'll get it back if you go to those places for desserts. I hope things continue to go well for you and you can make more delightful videos.
Jay, thank you so much for the Bobby recommendation. We went to Montmartre and stopped there for pizza, it was delicious!!! Had we not watched your video we wouldn’t have walked that far, merci!!
I'm glad it was worth the walk! Love those guys
Love these videos! Will def be becoming a patreon to support these awesome videos. Helps planning a trip to Paris so much!
Thank you so much!🍻
Hi! Lovely to meet you on the metro this morning. Great tip about going around the back of the Sacre Coeur. Maybe bump into you again!!
This was absolutely fantastic!! I'm saving this and we are hitting at least 3 of the spots you suggested this April! Great Job!
Hello from Oregon. Nice to meet someone from pnw!!! Thank you for you video!!!
i mean montmatre is one of my fave places to be in in paris and many of ur videos showed this place beautifully along with so many great tips and stuff but man that VPN ad... what a genunius funny way of doing it! Killed it! Hope u did some photoshotts in that jacket too later LOL
One of my fondest memories is on the last day before leaving for London, my mum and I woke up relatively early to walk to Sacré-Cœur, just the two of us. The city was quiet and the streets were empty as if we were the only two… 🤔😌
I highly recommend going early in the morning when there are no crowds and leaving before or around 10 AM, as that's when people start showing up!
Great tip - early mornings are beautiful up there!
Going to use some of these tomorrow… in Paris for the week!
thank you Jay , beside the beautiful views and good looking food, I always love to learn how to pronounce those French words Montmartre , Sacre Coeur ❤❤
That’s the best paid promo I’ve seen. Glad you had fun with it
Thank you! It was fun to make
Cutest Boston Terrier ever!!!
This looks fun! I might have to take up your recommendations and follow your footsteps in Montmartre one of these days.
I’ll be in Paris last week of July think this might be a lovely outing 😊
Love it there
Me too
that pizza looks great
So good
Wow!! Great food! Thank you,.
My pleasure
Thanks
Thank you! 🙏
Muah (kissing my fingers)! Magnifique! Beautifully done…grrreat sponsored ad…Nathaniel avec ses parents…le petit Cooper…et Jay à Montmartre! Heavenly! Merci!
🥰🍻
Whatever my favourite arrondissement is Montmartre. So easy to avoid the worst tourist traps. It seems you have weak spot for Montmartre too!
I’ve been to Hotel P on your recommendation! So cool! Last trip to Paris Sept ‘19 😢💔
Thank you! Merci ❤
I watched this video twice...how can you eat so much and still be so thin? Thanks for the info and your perspectives.
Just stopped in at pain pain and omg your so right. Number one the ladies were very very nice. Wife got a slice of Flun cake and I got eclairs. Found a seat and it was snack time. Love Paris in my Pocket and the city mapper app. Been to Paris a dozen times starting way back in 1969 and read and view many TH-cam creators. Been with you since you walked the city during Covid.
Yes Pain Pain! Thanks for being along for the ride; and for loving Paris as much as I do.
I just found your channel while doing lots of research on Paris, I will be going in September solo!!! I am very nervous about this though!!! I really find your videos very helpful, so thank you!! is it hard to get a reservation at the restaurant in the Hotel Particular?
I'm now inspired to eat and drink my way up to Montmartre!
Is there a little tourist train that can take you UP or a funicular to Sacre Coer and then WALK down? I'm going in summer and besides not having the greatest knees..the heat! I plan on going very early in morning to get as much done as possible before noon or 1pm. Head back to hotel or airbnb air-conditioning and resting. Then maybe back in late afternoon and evening. But might do something else in evening instead. Is 4 or 5 hrs enough in montmartre including Sacre Cour inside and out and lunch? I like wandering and I like quaint shops.
There are both, yep!
Was thinking of staying here but it might be a bit far from everything (which arondissement?) so i think i will spend a day here once i have looked at the sights.
Love Montmartre, but it is a bit far from other parts of the city. You can totally spend an amazing day up here and be fulfilled!
Hi Jay. I really enjoy your new videos on Paris and those special places to see. I'm reading a novel by the French novelist Emile Zola about the shrine at Lourdes and the people that went there for cures. It's very interesting. You may want to visit it sometime. It would be interesting to see if things are the same as they were when he visited as compared to modern times. Her wrote rather realistic novels about the society he lived in. He wasn't afraid to make criticisms. His famous novel was NANA about a prostitute that was considered scandalous at the time, He wrote another novel about deparetments stores I'd like to read because I used to work for one. You certsinly keep yourself slim do you do gsin weight from esting sll those dishes. Yout dog must keep yonu run
Nice ad! I skipped it, still, but it was a funny bit!
The best pizza and in fact the best Italian food I've had was not in Italy but in Paris. Sorry nona.
💕
🥳
Forgot about le coq & fils
"The Gray Man"
😎
You’re great on camera
Thanks!
It’s been a while! Sorry for the long absence. Great to see you and the dog doing well 🥰
Thank you!
By far my favorite video in the Paris in Mah Pocket series!🗼
Thanks!
I finally made it to Paris and came back a few days ago. Omg that view from Sacre Coeur……WOW!!!! I’m one word it’s just sick. I was there for like 2 hours just taking in the view. Can’t wait to go back.
Thanks for this Jay. You have inspired me to visit Montmartre again on my next visit to Paris. Although I have visited Montmartre in the past I have to admit it never really floated my boat and I prefer other areas of Paris. But everyone else seems to rave about it so I have wondered what have I missed? Now I know! Merci!
wah Jay c'est dingue ! I have not seen ant of your videos for a long time, but man ! Tu as maigri de ouf ! félicitations !
Merci 🥰
I like these vids; gives a flavor that tourists may not find. from your Sequim viewer.
Thank you 😌
Every time you show Cooper my only thought is “What a distinguished gentleman!” In a goofy voice of course.
😎😊
Looking good my friend,and doggy is growing fast,🙋🐕❤️🍀👍 greetings from Amsterdam.
Thank you!
Nice, I go to Monmarte every time I come to Paris and have my favorite spots but you showed me some great new options. Merci
Enjoying your friendly videos as I plan my Nov 2022 visit. Hope my 4 yrs HS French ('77) will come back to me if I panic enough! I still remember the unique smell of Paris from 47 years ago...
You speak so fast. It's sometimes difficult to catch what you're saying at times. Bonne journee.
The Coop is so well behaved! Nice job training that pup.
Thank you!
I loved your day in Montmartre! I can’t wait to go back to Paris for a 3X!! 💃🏽
🎉🍻🎉
Love the area for candy shops and flea market nearby. Thx Jay for dedicating vlog to this lovely area!
My pleasure!
We are going in June. The pizza place is a 14 minute walk from us. We will be going!
Planning on going with my wife and 1 year old this summer. What's that park at 7:15?
Nothing about the portrait artists?
Are the metro stations accessible for seniors or just steps? Escalators or elevators to ground level?
Dude, I'm gonna make a musique concrete album inspired by this video and Montmartre. Thankyou for inspiring! 💖
Happy musicing!🍻
I wonder if any of the owners of Koira are Finnish. (Koira means dog in Finnish)
I am at Pain Pain right now...excellent service and chausson du pommes, cafe allonge was decent. Down the street to Fric Frac for lunch
Glad it turned out!
That's Nathaniel Drew !!
Hi! Does pain pain have eggless options?
Not sure! I would recommend popping them an email!
Another great vid Jay and that sponsored section made me laugh u can put acting down now on your c.v
Haha, thanks 😊
🍀♥️🍀♥️🙋
Best Sponsor Link ever lol
😆😆
All that eating sounds great. You must have a great metabolism.I wish I’d scheduled Nice first Paris second. Thinking of me-in a bathing suit after Paris
Paris = lots of walking. It'll be great!
I'm fat. No diss to myself. It is what it is. But I never gain weight on vacation in cities and small quaint towns. I stay the same or even lose weight cos of all the walking I do. I also don't eat THAT much but i eat some fattening foods but I have things to do. Not just munching on chips while sitting and watching travel vlogs and house hunters international. :)
Staying in Montmarre, love it so cute
It's the best
That guy in the hoodie was definitely suspicious !! I prefer to zig and zag when on holidays anywhere as you're guaranteed to meet the nicest people, have the best encounters, find the prettiest flowers/park/view/cafe which isn't overrun 😉 Hi from Australia xx
Hi Jay, I hope you can help with some current info. I just came across your channel and subscribed and have been watching lots of great content on locations. Question, since this is a recent post...our daughter who is in Rome for her first study abroad, is meeting a friend who is relocating to live in Paris, and is 18, both from the US and don't know the areas. First time for my daughter to Paris in a few days, and her friend who is still waiting for her Visa (yikes) and has been only once to Paris, have a side trip for 5 days planned to Marseille. I have a friend who has been a few times and she said they should go elsewhere, that it is not safe, a google search confirms that, I was really hoping you could let me know as two English only speaking young girls who want to navigate it, should I try to get them to try a different location? There are so many great places and even though they have a flight to there what other places are there close by they could maybe do the rest of their time after spending a day in Marseille? Thank you for any help!
The artist's square was great, would highly reccomend stopping by there! There's a litle red pastry shop that makes delicious crepes and deserts there and the watercolour portrait artist was very nice to us. ^_^
Le dîner avec Jean Reno. I'm impressed!
(I know, I know, ...it's not really him)
Nice to see in the wall of " I love you" wroted with big letters "Të dua" in Albanian language. You doing great, thnx for these cool videos.
Thank you Jay, love your videos💛
Thank you!🥳
"my ex and her family"? Sorry to hear that. You are always very private about your relationship life, which is good.
Did you get citizenship yet?
Not yetttt
Cooper is grown and adorable as ever.
Fact
What Is the song playing at 12:49 in this video? It sounds amazing 🤩 fantastic video by the way 👍
Was just in Devotions and said I came via your recommendation... delicious btw
Btw, koira is a Finnish word for a dog. Ça veut dire un chien en français bien sûr. And.. as you might know most people from Finland are rather fluent in English. Peut-être certaines personnes parlent aussi couramment français? :)
Jay Swanson крутой чувак! Обожаю твои обзоры, атмосферно сделано!
Awesome video Jay!!!!!
Thank you!
Filming and especially music, very nice! The 'non-selfie' aesthetic is great.
4:19 Táim I ngrá leat ❤️ I am in love with you 🇮🇪
You think Hotel Particular would be worth as a ‘nice dinner’ out?
Lovely. I hold my many trips to Paris close. Thank you.
4:14 Where can I get a good Burrito in Paris kind sir?
Thanks! Good to see Coop and you are doing fine, too.
This is absolutely wonderful!
What’s the scammers situation there ?
Love the videos I will be there in Oct ❤️😘
24 of May I was there , always lovely.
