Love getting lost in Paris. I don't consider it being lost but getting acquainted with a new friend (aka new neighborhood).

Fabulous episode. I blend Earful Tower tips with flaneusing. Today I got lost in the Eglise Madeleine and adjacent Belle Epoque toilettes, for example. Something I learned in Scott's interview was that the city was designed to be an aesthetic pleasure. It delivers!

Passy is the best part of Paris

wenn ich daran denke, dass diese Kirche vom 12. - 14. Jahrhundert gebaut wurde, bestimmt unter schwierigsten Bedingungen armer Menschen, die dort an ihrem einzigen freien Tag ohne Lohn arbeiteten, denn als Lohn wurde ihnen ein tolles Leben im Paradies versprochen... Wenn ich bedenke, dass auch in dieser Cathedrale Priester davon sehr gut lebten, armen Leuten das Letzte auszupressen, von Menschen "Spenden" zu erhalten, die NICHTS hatten, damit diese Priester mit hochwertigen Gewändern protzen konnten. Wenn ich bedenke, wie der Reichtum in dieser Cathedrale gehortet wurde, während Menschen an Hunger starben... Nein, es ist für MICH kein Symbol des Friedens, sondern eines der Unterdrückung. Auch wenn es wunderschön aussieht. Und leider haben diese Menschen ein armes, unterdrücktes Leben auf Erden geführt und sind niemals in irgendeinem Paradies angekommen.

Excellent talk. It’s Ben almost twenty five years sense I visited Paris. I remember seeing all those book sellers. Fond memories. Hope to return someday.

i love this street, I was there in May

I collect and use canes and walking sticks (over 100, at present) and I know the first place I'm going if I ever go to France! I probably wouldn't leave the store.

Is the 6th or nothing for me❤❤❤

We have visited Paris a number of times over the years. We now always stay in the 17th closer to Place Des Terrnes. Its almost like a quiet beautiful home you return too on a busy day of visiting the rest of Paris.

5:24 Did you buy some cheese there?

Merci de partager ton avis. Je suis du nord de la France. Ces jeux m'ont fait du bien mentalement et j'espère qu'ils continueront à nous faire du bien. Je suis quelqu'un de positif mais la situation politique de la France m'a beaucoup inquiété et m'inquiète toujours . J'ai été aussi très soulagée que tout se soit passé !

My boyfriend is from France and I’m obsessed with his accent

According to what this woman says about thel lánguáge, I tell you. I never go to a country if I do not speak their lánguáge or that they speak English well. People from muy country are they same as American, they do not care for learning . I think that IS not respectful. And tell her you just pronounce "Los Ángeles" , letter G like H in English, and you should not pronounce French names they American way. Thanks. I am from Argentina.

Thanks

Loved the games. I think all the businesses that may have suffered will make it back up and then some from the 2 week long advertisement of Paris. It was amazing. I also booked an Earful Tower tour when I am back in October. Got to support my peeps.

Great to hear your impressions of the Games. Thanks for sharing. From Brisbane, Australia it was magic watching the Games in the exquisite backdrop of Paris. So much was on offer to the viewer above and beyond the Games themselves. Missing it all now. 🇫🇷🎉

Watching from London. Whole thing was awesome……..Paris did us proud!

I went there yesterday and ecperienced so much joy on that street. Do not miss the litle park right next to the church towards the end of the street (down the hill).

Very interesting. I will probably get the book. I knew from checking the Internet that there were a lot of museums in Paris. As a tourist your time is always limited, but the book would let you prioritise a small list of smaller museums to visit to suit your personal interest. I am interested in art. Monet is my hero. I know there is a small Monet museum that I want to visit on my next trip to Paris.

With a German Lied?!

I used to live in the Batignolles street, near the church. It's a marvellous "quartier" for family but not for tourists.

That was nice. Thanks, Oliver 👍

Will notre dame be open after Olympics?

On the New Orleeeeeeans pronunciation, was the song you discussed House of the Rising Sun? “There was a house in New Orleeeeeeans, they called the rising sun…”

Most Parisian take an extended summer vacation each year, either in July and August

Hey Oliver apologies for my user name ( it's sort of homage to Jean Reno, Ruby & Quentin movie, I should change it). Was so hoping you'd stop and chat with a local and you entered the restaurant, how fascinating and engaging, what a highlight! Btw you signed your book for my nephew as a gift, encouraging him to be a journo, well he made it, tv reporter for a few years and now a media advisor to some very senior public figures. Enjoy showcasing Paris during this exciting time! Thank you for the tour and your words, we won't see things like that again in our lifetime.

Hi.Coming first time to Paris August 27 until September 5..How do you think? everything will be closed

Is there going to be a replay for people in Australia????

Two live walks in a row, thank you, Oliver! You haven't lost your spontaneous touch. Can't wait to see it all through your eye/lens tomorrow!

Is the Notre Dame spire renovation complete?

Greetings from Las Vegas thank you for your efforts. Love the city wish I was there. What kind of trees are in the city

Am in Paris working some events. Had yesterday (Wed) off, worked one tonight. The streets are pretty quiet.

I'm writing to you from Malibu California. I am thrilled about the Olympics In Paris. What is the weather like now?

Simply horrible!

So glad we did our Paris trip a month ago.......Things were far less closed off and less ugly scaffolding.

Hello from Houston Texas wonderful to see my favorite crowded streets empty 🎉❤

Oliver, the booksellers were furious because they had been told they should completely remove their boxes. Glad to see they're still there. But no customers, of course.

The empty streets seem so eerie but in a way as a flâneur, I can appreciate this.

and so, what do you wanna say? lol the most useless channel on youtube

I'm sure it will be fine but gosh it doesn't look like our beautiful Paris at all right now.

Enrique’s restaurant is called ‘Au Vieux Paris’.

Yes - wisteria

Thank you - so good to see Paris for pedestrians😄 Now I want to be there so - you asked for a question - do you know anywhere really cheap/free to stay in the Marais? Just to let you know I’m here🤣

Hello there😄 When I think back to these decades and Paris/France I think music 🎶Edith Piaf - Juliet Greco - Serge Gainsbourg - Jane Birkin - The Stranglers 🎵From age 7 when I started formal French lessons at school in Manchester UK and became immersed in all things French as we had Madame, a French-born teacher, and art/other teachers and listening to RTL Radio Luxembourg, Radio Caroline and the start of BBC Radio 1 - Emperor Rosco, Allan Freeman, Simon Dee - and the essential John Peel in the 80s. Thank you for sparking some great memories♥

The French are not interested in the Olympics. In fact, Paris literally shut down July/August to head South for vacation time. Again, Paris gets unbearably hot this time of year. Good luck with the Games!

Lockdown 2!

C'est scandaleux . Un point c'est tout. Quelle foutaise. Budget onze milliards. Alors que la France sombre.

Je croyais qu'à Paris on parlait français.....

What a great video. I love Paris and it seems like everyone has left the city it also reminds me of Covid times. I'm so looking forward to watching the Paris Olympics from Ottawa Canada Friday afternoon. So excited!!

I’m coming to you, Paris!
