Since we started traveling in October 2023, most of our destination decisions have been based on the cheapest transportation option for our desired travel dates. It has made for some fun and unexpected experiences!
Even though we've always wanted to visit Paris, it wasn't on our list until we were scouting flights from Albania and Montenegro back to Western Europe and found cheap airfare from Tivat, Montenegro. That's the main reason we went to Kotor (video here: • Tiny but MIGHTY! (Mont... ) and the only reason we came to Paris.
One of the best ways to get to know a city is by walking across it, and that's what we do in this video while answering two questions:
1) Can we afford to live in Paris?
2) Would we want to live in Paris?
We started at the Pantheon on the eastern side of the city and zigzagged our way to the Arc de Triomphe for a spectacular view of sunset and the Eiffel Tower at night.
We had tickets to enter the Arc at 8:50 and thought we would have more than enough time, but filming and sightseeing always takes longer than we expect.
Along the way we stopped by several top spots while we discussed some important livability factors:
0:47 The Pantheon
1:13 Public Transportation in Paris
1:51 Jardin du Luxembourg
2:35 Staying Safe in Paris
3:16 The Latin Quarter
3:28 Notre-Dame de Paris
3:59 Pont Neuf (New Bridge)
4:15 Paris is Quiet
4:40 Lunch at Restaurant la Pyramide
5:18 Groceries & Restaurants in Paris
5:39 The Louvre
6:02 Quality of Life & Things To Do in Paris
8:48 Place Vendôme
9:24 Place de la Concorde
9:39 Hôtel des Invalides
10:09 Healthcare in France
10:40 The Eiffel Tower
11:35 Could we afford to live in Paris?
12:39 Would we want to live in Paris?
13:29 Champs-Élysées
13:42 Arc de Triomphe
14:55 Outtakes

Paris is the best city I've ever visited for tourists. Despite its size, because of the strict height limitation for buildings in the core it feels sunny and approachable. The sidewalks are mostly wide and flat as you say, and many of the neighborhoods are just incredibly appealing and scenic. Add a plethora of gorgeous parks, world-class museums, and delightful bistros everywhere, it is a joy to visit.
I find it wonderful on a sunny day and often dreary on grey, cloudy days, especially outside of the main avenues and boulevards - grey sidewalks, little greenery. It can seem like a maze of concrete and stone at times. I do agree though, it is definitely the most striking and beautiful city in the world, especially when the sun decides to join in!
oui apres tu a juste pas quitter le centre de paris et surtout la journe 90% de paris est une ville sale dangereuse et chere
@@johnschieffelin3226 I am afraid you did not see the whole of Paris, but only what you call appealing and scenic. Not every Parisian is enjoying your « delightful bistros ». You have a tourist point of view… Go to the 20th arrondissement and you will have another, more realistic, point of view about life in Paris. As to the height limitation for buildings, this was true in Haussmann’s time (1850-1870) and his (excellent) rules remained valid until 1882. But it seems you have not seen Tour Montparnasse… or the 19th, the 20th, the 13th arrondissements. You did not see Paris at all.
vous devriez aller à Moscou
@@michaeldearaujo418 90% de Paris « sale, dangereux et cher » ? Sale certes dans certains quartiers. Dangereux dans certains quartiers la nuit comme dans toutes les villes du monde - mais aucun touriste n a de raison d y aller. Mais c est loin d être 90% de Paris. Cher ? Il y en a pour toutes les bourses, à chacun de choisir.
I'm an American from Michigan. I moved to Paris with my French husband and 3 children over 34 years ago. The youngest was five at the time, and the older girls were 12 and 14. After finishing high school, the older girls returned to the US . By the youngest was more French than American.
It is expensive in the Paris region for housing. Luckily my husband and I could afford it.
We're retired now and will stay here for the health care and relaxed lifestyle.
Well I didn't give it away and I was right. I knew your next trip was going to be Paris when I saw Amelia sitting in the Metro station on your last video. My wife and I moved to Paris from San Francisco in 2000 for a 2 year expat work assignment. When it was time to return I basically said no I'm not leaving, so I retired early. We lived in Paris for 11 years and now live on the Côte d'Azur. We just love the quality of life in France. (My mother by the way lived in Arlington Heights for several years)
So cool! It’s an amazing country!
The girlfriend and I went to Paris in July 2019. We enjoyed it, it was expensive, and we decided not to pay to enter the Arc De Triomphe and Eiffel tower, so we just stuck to cafes and bars. Our verdict - despite being nice, it's not on our travel list to go back.
Prices have gone up because of the Olympics! But France is not just Paris, there are so many things to see all over France!! Alsace, Brittany, the Tarn Gorges, the mountainous regions, the Loire region, and many others, many choose a boat trip on the Canal du Midi, you are in such a quiet place! You pass by small villages to do your shopping, especially at the producers of vegetables, fruits, eggs or poultry!
Paris on a clear sunny day is perfection.
vous connaissez pas paris juste les coin a touriste paris est un enfer ville chere dangereuse est sale
when it's not too hot
Did anyone else tear up when JP made it to the top of the stairs and talk about how he never thought he'd walk normally again? They are just the sweetest couple and I'm so excited to get to watch their journey! I learn so much and am looking forward to my own adventures soon.
Thank you 😊
YES!!!
@@anniesshenanigans3815 Okay, I knew I couldn't be the only one.
Yessss
Super interesting. I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks
I'm so glad you went to Paris. It's a lovely city & yes, I've always found the French to be quite nice. If you try to speak French & you are polite and respectful , the French are wonderful 😊
Yes, it’s a place where speaking the local language is necessary. I was in Paris many years ago. It was not clean like it is today. I was surprised how many French speakers there are in Portugal during a visit earlier this year.
Superbe video !!! Merci ...
Je vous trouve très sympathiques,
Un Français qui aiment les Américains 🇲🇫🇺🇲
You are welcome in Marseille.
Beautiful.
This has to be one of the most fun videos ! Maybe because I was there many years ago and walked in places y'all walked. Congratulations JP on the most triumphant walk. Amelia, that smile on your face exuded the extreme happiness that happens when one is there - at least for me. Yes, I learned French before going and it made the trip so much better. You looked like a local when you wore that love black shirt and the black choker, Amelia. I vote you two the most adorable, loving couple, and it's always a pleasure to 'walk with you' ❤🤍💙
Thank you so much! 😊
We were surprised, so many free things to visit! Love Paris! Cheers Chris and Jim.
@@midlifetravelbug Free ? Except churches nothing is free
Great video, and well done JP for climbing to the top of the Arc de Triomphe.
Thanks!
I was also thinking hooray for JP coz his back issues. Well done sir!
I’m French and Parisian and I’m always happy to see American tourists Paris is a beautiful place to visit, you just have to avoid the drawbacks (rude staff in restaurants, dirty places (rats are not a myth) … )
Nice to see people enjoying Panam or the Capitale ;)
JP’s triumphant walk up the stairs is inspiring!
Thanks! 😊
What a sweet couple.
Many foreign visitors to Paris always sum up the place as the historic city, bounded by the ring road, a very old city, and where the main historical sites and landmarks are located, like Eiffel tower, Arc De Triomphe, Notre Dame, etc... . But this is only a relatively small part of the real Paris area, about 2.2 million inhabitants. Real life for millions of inhabitants is in the huge metropolitan area around the city, which stretches for dozens of miles, where most tourists never go, and populated by about 10 million people. This is where one can find the gigantic shopping malls, by the dozens, or the most important car dealerships or superstores, etc...Disneyland Paris for example, is about 20 miles east of the historic city.
I really enjoyed your video. Very pleasant to watch, entertaining. Bravo !
The French love their language because it is so beautiful.
And because we suck at foreign languages! But it's also because we have sounds like nasals that don't exist in other languages and a prosody with little accentuation...
Funny story: Back in 2011, my wife and I visited Paris for the first time. On our second day there, in the morning, we asked our hotelier where we might be able to get crepes for breakfast. He looked at me like I had grown a third eye on my forehead, sputtered with exasperation and claimed, "It is not done!" (I swear he fulfilled about three French stereotypes in the space of 15 seconds, and it was hilarious!). I apologized profusely and explained that I was just an ignorant American, then asked when would be an appropriate time to get crepes. He calmed down somewhat, and told us we could get them in the afternoon if we wished. 😀
The French are total you know whats.
🤣🤣🤣
I’m picturing in my head that whole conversation, yes I bet that was hilarious and very cool. Thx for sharing!
Did he then say that your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries?
@@timmmahhhh And he then farted in my general direction!
I live in Paris and it's really comfortable, I love it here ! It's not for everyone but if you like living in a city full of stuff to do and you can afford the insane rent, it's worth it !
The French (yes, even Parisians) are quite nice as long as you start with "bonjour", always start with a "bonjour" no matter who you're talking to
pleine de choses à faire 🤔c'est fini paris ont peut plus rien faire 😂
@@PabloHirata pleins* on* ; tu peux toujours apprendre le français :x

JP and Amelia, I must commend you on your beautiful, informative videos. I have been following you for years now, and the quality of your editing, narration and historical information keeps getting better and better. I'm glad you enjoyed the "City of Lights," and shared it with us.
Wow, thank you!
Thanks it was a lovely walk and view! Paris is my city! Paris , ville lumière❤❤❤!!!
Something about restaurant prices US vs France. In France, the price listed is the price you pay. In the US, you have to add tax and tip. In the US for example if the menu says $20, you also pay approx 20% tip and something like 7% tip. (Personally I don't tip on tax but some people do.) that's $25.40. in France 20€ is 20€.
@@jimnewton4534 In France it is polite and friendly to leave a little tip if you have been happy with the service
@@solangelauthier2381 I've never heard of anyone doing this. At least nobody that I know does.
@@jimnewton4534 Let's say it isn't mandatory. It's up to you.
@@jimnewton4534 Very common in the south of France to leave a small tip, like one or two euros
@@jimnewton4534 Donner un pourboire en France semble se perdre, perso j'en laisse toujours, et je récompense surtout l'amabilité et la gentille des serveurs
I'm glad to see you guys made it to Paris. I have to say you both look pretty happy there. I live in Paris and agree with Amelia's comment that Paris is too big (and busy). I know lots of places in the south of France where the cost of living is much less than in Paris and it's away from crowds. In fact, I find the quality of life higher in those smaller places. Many English-speaking people like the Dordogne area just north of Bordeaux. One town there is about 25-30% English speaking. Nice video!
Thanks for sharing!!
We spent 22 years in and out of Paris annuallly, usually 3-4 months at a time. I definitely could live there but, like in Manhattan, we don't live 'IN' Manhattan - we live in a neighborhood. Six blocks this way, 10 blocks another. Take a bus or subway to a different 6 or 10-block area. Paris was the same way - we stayed in 1 neighborhood or another - 4 in all those years. Each were wonderful.
PARIS is Always A Pleasant SURPRISE!!!
When watching Amelia talking about the quiet, I remembered another video on TH-cam where the couple said you must mow your lawn during set hours to be respectful of your neighbors. I know the French have a lot of laws that make for a better environment for all.
Ughhh that sounds terrible and autocratic. No thank you
That is very true. The Conseil National du Bruit (national council for noise or something like that) says you can't mow or make any noise on sundays and holy days except between 10am and noon.
@@almamater9566 If you mow your lawn at 4 pm on a Sunday I don't think anyone would bat an eye though. Just don't do it after like 7 and even worse after 10 pm
Preparing to go to France 20 years ago, I listened to CDs in my car. Not following along in the book, I missed a lot. I kept hearing one phrase, which sounded like "Antie Kate Kay." Finally, my curiosity got the best of me, so I pulled over to the side of the road and looked up the phrase. It turned out to be "Un ticket de quai" which means "a boarding pass."
Fast forward to the actual trip. My friend and I had just boarded a train in station and I heard over the loudspeaker: "Validez votre ticket de quai." I said to myself, "I can understand that: it means Validate your boarding pass." Then I told my friend, "We forgot to validate our boarding passes!" So I grabbed his and jumped out of the coach, stamped them, and jumped back on in the nick of time.
So, the moral of the story is, it does pay to learn a word or to before going to France!
Great story! 😊
@@thebiblepriest4950 « Tickets de quai » do not exist any more (they disappeared 50 years ago !). They used to be tickets not for travelling but only for access to the platform (quai) - if you were accompanying somebody who was travelling. They were no boarding passes at all. The phrase you heard was « un ticket s il vous plait » (one ticket please). Is that so strange ??? If you want to travel you need « un ticket » certainly not « un ticket de quai ». Maybe your hearing is not OK ?
@@solangelauthier2381 My experience did take place decades ago, and in a provincial train station with old stamping machines at the quai-side.. Perhaps what I heard was "validez votre ticket" or "valid votre billet." It was close enough to "validez votre ticket de quai" to get me moving!
Hi ! The beautiful palace you saw in the Jardin du Luxembourg is the Senate. It is the upper house of the French Parliament. The National Assembly is the lower house.
Wonderful video tour & info! So inspirational to see JP walk that far after his back surgery history! Adding to our bucket list!
Thanks! 😊
@@AmeliaAndJP SO inspired by JP's progress! I love love love the content.
I love Paris ❤ I have visited many capitals around the world. Paris is by far the most beautiful city in the world: romantic and chic, Fashion capital, it is also the city of love and walking there is fascinating. ❤😀
Transportation like almost everywhere in Europe! Not only in Paris!
Paris transportation system is one of the best in the world, and spread dozens miles around the historical city.
Amelia and JP your show keeps getting better and better. I'm so happy you made it to france. Your takeaway from Paris is pretty on point.
I've been there many, many, times fortunately, & am proficient in French. Like you, I'm an expatriate (well I'm in the process of being one) in Latin America. I think Paris is wonderful, albeit sometimes you likely will experience a sensation of the people being rude.
A smaller City in France would probably be more to your liking. I would HIGHLY suggest you go to Montpellier, which is France's 7th largest city, & the country's fastest growing city for the past 25 years.
Thanks for the suggestion 👍
Amelia, I think you will like Lyon. The south is so wonderful too. I’m looking forward to your additional adventures in France. I’m considering a move to the south of France, Spain or Italy and all of your input is helpful to so many. I’m much older than you and JP but adventurous none-the-less. I’m living vicariously through you for now. 😊
Great! That's very exciting! We have more videos coming from France!
You can live 20min outside of Paris and pay 4x less for housing… and all,the public transportation for 82€ a month flat… so really affordable for unlimited usage for a month. Maybe you didn’t know that, but you need to love here for that…
Paris is civilized...quiet and peaceful.
@@donnasloane9031 Looks like you did not go everywhere in Paris, you would not find it « quiet and peaceful ».
I am born and raised in Paris. I can tell you it is neither civilized quiet or peaceful ! Ahah
But it’s Paris. It’s the best place anyway
@@Emmanuel_DH I am a French Parisian too. Paris is less and less civilized, absolutely true (but is not the whole world going that sad way ?). As to Paris being quiet and peaceful, it depends where and when you go - like anywhere -. You cannot go to Chateau Rouge - as an example - at 2am and complain. But why would you go ? During the day no problem, even in Barbès and the like. Now, anywhere in the world you can be stabbed to death at noon in a posh district - no zero risk anywhere.
I'm so glad you got good weather for your walk through Paris 😊😂
Us too!
I just got back from Paris last month, and what a city it is. I was completely blown away.
Us too!
Bonjour, si vous voulez visiter la France, vous avez Bordeaux qui architecturalement est similaire à Paris où si vous voulez vous approcher de l'Atlantique, vous avez la Charente Maritime un haut lieu historique. Bienvenue en mon pays.
Au Revoir ! Thanks for the stopover in Paris.
Of course Paris is a must when visiting France but Paris is not France. Go visit the small provincial villages, it's another wonderful world that opens up to you. I can't recommend this or that village, there are too many. Just one then, ...Saint-Cirq-Lapopie (200 inhabitants),... no words to describe these villages.
As a French American with 21 years living in France, most Americans only know Paris and they think is cheap but thats a major capital city always the most expensive. I lived in Versailles a lot cheaper just a few km mi away, and now west in Brittany even sublime and cheap la vie est belle Go out and see the mouvable feast=France! Salut
Excellent work both of you!!! So beautiful!!
Thank you so much!!
Not a crepe, it is called a galette :-)
Awesome video. Congrats for the walk!
Great video, thank you!
I'm glad you found it clean, times have obviously changed. When I was there in 1988, nobody cleaned up after their dogs! I unfortunately christened my shoe in it right away and my memory of Paris still involves les merdes du chiens.
Yes, maybe they are cleaning up for future events. It was filthy when I was there years ago.
Since a few years ago you'll get fined if you don't pick up your dog's poop or threw your cigarette butt. A lot of efforts are being made to make thé city cleaner.
Unfortunately it is still dirty. They had to do sth because of the Olympic Games. It’s a pitty you don’t speak French, it would have been interesting to know what the locals really think about the situation in Paris. You would be shocked in a negative way. … But I am happy for you you had a great time there. Wish to see more of your videos. What’s your next destination? 🤗
I agree with you. France was much cleaner than what I had heard. Overall I was very impressed with France. For living I would probably take Portugal. For innovation and comfort in multiple languages the Netherlands. But France tops the UK and Germany in my opinion.
You heard France was dirty? Never heard such thing about the French Alps or Britanny where I lived...
@@Misterjingle it was a number of years ago but a family I knew well had lived in both Germany and France. My experience was different than theirs. France deserves many of their top rankings. Food, fashion, museums, culture and health care are all near the top world wide. And yes in my opinion cleanliness matched or exceeded the UK, USA and Germany.
@@jimjensen9139
I know some parts of the country are not very clean, I am well aware of that, but it’s mostly bad neighborhoods of Paris, Marseille, etc.
I know some tourists go to Paris and think all of France is like that 🥲 Fortunately, most of us live in clean and safe places 😅 Thanks for your nice comment. I won’t clam we have things better here. All countries have their pros and cons and have something to offer
Very unexpected indeed! I’ve never heard good things about Paris but my daughter desperately wants to stop there on our trip through France this year. We were going to skip it but thanks to your vid I think we’ll check it out!
Great! It’s expensive but we had a great time 👍
Paris and so much of France (and the world) is beautiful and the people are fantastic. Please do your own research and you will see that the entire planet has so many beautiful places to explore that our lives are too short to enjoy and experience all of it. I heard that Dallas/Chico/Decatur areas were horrible places and I found beauty there as well as kind and generous people.
Been there four times and cannot wait to return. As Audrey Hepuburn is reputed to have said: "Paris is always a good idea."
I've watched all your videos, and this might be my favorite one. I can't wait to see what else you guys discover in France.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video. Thank you for your unassuming perspective on Paris with a little bit of history mixed in! I hope you do more of these!!
PANTHEON is the temple of the french republic because you can find there every hero who made the french republic.
Awesome video of your time in Paris. Thanks guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks amazing!
Gorgeous video, the sunshine makes a huge difference. Great work and you both look so well, happy and healthy.
What a beautiful place~! Great info ~ thanks for the golden nuggets you provide on a regular basis. I appreciate it. 💙
Our pleasure!
Merci beaucoup nos amis américains ! We 💖 you !
😊🇫🇷
I lived in Paris for 5 years but have been on the Mediterranean coast in Provence for 30 years. I still enjoying going back to Paris to visit friends for a few days but I’d never live in such a big, dense city again….not to mention the weather 🌧 ☁️
Respect!
Great video. You guys are awesome and an inspiration to me.
me too!
So much to see and so much history! Hope you can make it to see Versailles and Normandy.
I really enjoyed this video living vicariously through you for 16 minutes in Paris.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Paris is a fantastic city to walk in. You’re obviously enjoying your time in the city. 👍
If you avoid the five largest cities in France, you'll find housing that is much more affordable-up to four times cheaper than in Paris.
I live in Annecy, and some districts are as expensive as Paris... Smaller cities like Aix en Provence, Cannes, Bayonne, La Rochelle, etc are now very expensive as well.
2:12 the place is Palais du Luxembourg, it is the French Senate :)
I think the Americans are a little bit obsessed with security in Paris. Parisians walk around the city a lot at any time. There are sometimes robberies, but very rarely assaults by simple passers-by. There is no danger if you avoid walking alone, late at night, in the stations and two districts a little warmer than others in the 18th and 19th arrondissement. In the tourist areas there are many police. Objectively it is much less risky to walk in Paris than in New York or London.
@@user-pb4gl5dh4p In any city there are districts to avoid at night. What would anybody do in such districts where there is nothing to see anyway ? Parisians live normally otherwise, but like anywhere in the world zero risk does not exist, even at noon.
Paris is so walkable.👏 And some of the best exhibits in the Louvre are in the basement❣️
@@clm3436 « Walkable » if you remain where tourists go. Not if you consider (as an example) the 19th or the 20th arrondissement. Do not be a tourist, be a traveller, experience reality. Paris is nit only the Louvre.
Practice your stairs and get yourselves to the Cinque Terra Italy, so fun 🙌

Wonderful video! I loved it and loved watching and hearing both of your excitement to be there. Congrats JP on the long day!
Thanks! 😊
I love that you are doing this! You are living my dream. Thank you for being an inspiration!!
Thank you so much!
They have inspired me to do research trips to Cuenca (in November), Albania (June '25) and Portugal (Sept '25). After living in Spain, Italy and China and seeing how spot on these two phenomenally generous people are with regards to all of their content I am consistently inspired to keep exploring locations, my attitude and health choices.
Your video made me want to try out Paris. Thanks
Looks amazing you two! We're coming to France for the Olympics in July.
Heading to Reims for a few days first. Not so interested in crowded Paris.
But we look forward to the experience!
Should've included "Paris" in the title for more views
We tried it several times. The CTR dropped by half each time. Common sense doesn’t apply for TH-cam titles.
@ 09:25 There are a lot of things to learn about place de la Concorde. One of them is that it holds the answer to a common trick quiz question : what is the oldest monument in Paris ? It's NOT the Lutece Arena or the Cluny Thermal Baths (both date from the Gallo-Roman period, 1st century AD).
It's actually right behind her, the Obelisk taken by Napoleon from the Amon Temple in Luxor, Egypt. It was built by Ramses II, so it' s 13th century BC ! It blows my mind everytime I'm near it.
@@issey1456 no, it was not taken but a present from egypt to France
@@issey1456 The obelisk was not taken, it was offered by Egypt to France. And there were two of them.
The "LOURVE" ????? LE LOUVRE 🙂
What a great video thank you.
After watching this I might actually want to visit Paris.
I spent about 10 days in Paris several years ago and absolutely loved it! Your impressions are very similar to mine.
TH-camR here! I just clicked in and IT'S THE TITLE??? What does it even mean, so we viewers don't know WHY we shoudl watch it.
We tried 10 different titles. This one performed the best. It’s the impressions. We had less than half of our usual impressions for this video. Liking due to the topic or the trending topic last week that overshadowed it.
It's been several years since I last visited Paris. I need to go again sometime AFTER the Olympics!
You are such an endearing couple. I live in Paris and it was fun to see your reaction. I am glad that, all in all, you enjoyed my city!
I have never been to Europe and watching your videos is so much fun! Paris looks so nice, love the wide sidewalks. I'm glad that you had a chance to visit there.
Thanks!
Great trip! I did not guess Paris at all!!
You two look more amorous in the city of romance. That airfare was amazing...
It’s a very romantic country!
Loved this walk thru Paris!! I will probably never go.. so thank you!!
Bonjour! We plan on moving to France this fall, seeing Paris is on the list!!
Paris in a fantastic city to visit as a tourist, but the cost to live there is way too high. Smaller towns are more affordable
Paris is going car free and is very livable now, the mayor of Paris rocks!

You guys give out such
HAPPY VIVES …and ENRRGY
I get HAPPY viewing your
travel journeys 💯🥰💯
GREAT TRIUMPH 👏
Thanks! That’s great! 😊
Thank you very much for your videos about France. We are unloved by the world and that is not always justified. Thank you for your positive vision of Paris, Dijon and Lyon. Our country is magnificent, of course not perfect like all the others. We have magnificent cities - 3 seas, varied mountains in a small territory compared to the USA. Different architectures for each region. Our culture is interesting like most countries in Europe which are all very different too.
A big hug to both
Merci 😊🇫🇷
Well, we're not hated either; after all, France does get 100 million visitors a year. I think there is a percentage in America that have disdain for France, but that's because they don't know any better. Forgive them :)
Wow. Hi from an Ecuatoriano. I have seen you for years now. I didn't imagine you would be in Paris at that time. This is very great 🎉
So happy to see your videos again. I have been on a break for helath issues however I am back in the saddle and feeling great. Cant wait to see more of the country side
What the heck? I was in Paris last week! I assume you were there a couple months ago, but it is so cool that we're practically crossing paths in Europe. :-)
It was almost a month ago. 😊
Good job, you guys are fit ! I kept my fingers crossed, hoping you’d get there before sundown.
Thanks! 😊
Great Video guys, I love your content, I have actually taken this trip and done everything you did, despite that I still watched it and enjoyed it, I agreed with ya, the city is relatively clean and the people are nice
Go out to Arras. About an hour and a great Saturday market.
@@Kurtzsharon There are plenty of markets everywhere in France, no need to specially go to Arras for that !
