I'm going in 2 days by myself . 🧡🌻🥰

Awesome video! My wife and I returned from Paris last week. We purchased tickets for Le Calife and Moulin Rouge a month in advance, but got timed tickets for the Louvre and Versailles the night before from their official websites and actually got in early to each. We visited the Eiffel Tower and decided to go up to the top after we arrived and it only took about 30 minutes from getting in line until we were on the elevator. I guess we got lucky.

Thank you so much for your videos! My husband and I just returned from Paris last month and studied your videos months before going which made our trip so wonderful we want to go again!!

Always terrific information, Colleen and Antoine! I do try to stay awake the first day in order to sync my body clock with the country I am visiting. It is a challenge the first day but well worth it for the remainder of trip. And absolutely true to keep my schedule very simple the first two days in a country --- one attraction -- walk around the city and getting into bed at a reasonable hour. Great to see you both and cheers from NYC on this rainy Saturday morning!

We did our home work with the assistance of Les Frenchies for a year before arriving in Paris and Strasbourg! It was a wonderful trip!

I only have two minor regrets about being in Paris…since my first trip was in 1988, I didn’t have the luxury of planning my trip(s) with your help and excellent valuable guidance…( we were even afraid of how to leave Gard du Nord station since we didn’t know “sortie” was French for exit…the other regret is I finally realized I can never go back…at 79, the long lines, stairs and complete days of walking would be impossible 😢…and sadly, I never experienced a “naughty “ nap since my thirteen trips, I traveled there with my sister or best friends!!!🤭🤭…as an aside, Colleen you look lovely and carefree in Summer pictures!!! Though I couldn’t figure out what was missing until I realized, no red scarf😂

How interesting about power nap… I’ve learned the hard way that’s this is the worst thing I can do - to take a Power Nap after the flight. I would wake up groggy and then be fine but will suffer from the jet lag the entire week of my travel. But if instead I would power through the day without napping, I’ll crash by the end of the day at about 8/9pm, sleep like a baby 12 hours straight and then will have absolutely no jet lag for the rest of the trip. That’s how I trained my family too. 😅 But of course I do recognize that it might work differently for everyone. So true about doing proper work before traveling! I always do, yet every time I have this “I wish I knew” feeling 🤷🏼‍♀️ Last time it was a Dior exhibit we’ve missed.

Excellent timing! My BFF & I will be visiting in October & have been talking about the “wheres, whens & hows” of the sites we want to see, & it’s getting down to the wire for booking those tickets. I especially appreciate the explanation about Viator & Get Your Guide!
Your videos have been so helpful, I know we’ll have a wonderful time! Merci beaucoup, Colleen & Antoine!

[jaydebard]

Fantastic video! The best advice Les Frenchies gave us before our trip was where to enter Le Louvre. The main entrance at the pyramid was a very long wait. We went through the Carousel entrance and were inside Le Louvre at our timed entry in 5 minutes!

Another tip: check online to see if some attraction you want to visit is going on strike on certain days -- or if the transit option you're taking to get there is going on strike. Strikes are far more common in France than in the u.s.

We went to Paris last summer and, while we had an amazing time, I so wish I had discovered your videos before we went. We definitely made some of these mistakes. I just tell myself, now that I’m hooked on your videos, we’ll just be that much more prepared next time!

[bonwatcher]

Another great informational video. This is a must watch channel for anyone wanting to visit Paris.👍 I visited Paris back in the 90's and now sadly it looks like crowds of people everywhere in comparison to what I remember of that trip.

[jimfromburbankca]

A Recommendation - When traveling, especially OVERSEAS, consider ONE day for travel, and ONE day for "recuperation" (from jet lag). When I arrive on the continent, I always give the first day over to light walking around the city, window shopping, hanging out in parks, etc (nothing planned) to allow for the jet lag (and my GI system) to recover.

Pace yourself.

[t.wilder]

Thanks for the information. I will be there next month.

[lifewriter]

I always book and by my tickets online from the website that belongs to the museum/theatre/exhibition itself. This goes for all countries and cities all over the world. I then print the tickets, and download them online as well. I have never failed. 😎🖤👍

[relaxingsilentfilms-LosAngeles]

we recently completed a Paris and Normandie trip.. all thanks to your content. You are so helpful. We have relaxing travel videos from all over Europe, Mexico, Argentina and Canada.

Good advice, good work —comme d'hab ...

[tukicat]

Thanks for the idea of the museum pass, I did not know about it and plan to get the four day.

[CKLee-rskl]

First, you both look marvelous! The first time I went to France with a friend, I bought travel books and we got together to plan out what we wanted to see in each city (Paris, Tours and Nice) and made sure we both got to do what we were interested in & whether we both went to an attraction or split up and met later. That way no one felt "cheated" and we didn't over-schedule ourselves.

We studied and researched 18 months before our trip. Booked our flights exactly at 330 days out. Booked our apartment 1 year out. Booked our major tour tickets directly through the vendors. Coming from the US we did have trouble with purchasing with US credit cards but with a switch to my vpn, no problem. Antoine, you and Colleen are true French Ambassadors 🇫🇷
