My one important bit of advice for visiting the Louvre is this: Please know that there are other LESS USED entrances to the museum, that you can access and bypass the heavily trafficked main entrance, by the pyramid. That entrance is always crowded with people waiting hours to enter, when you can use one of the other less known ones, and get inside in under 10 minutes or thereabouts. You will be in and enjoying the art, hours before most of the people in the main line.

This is the best video of what to see in Paris and exactly what I was looking for! You have everything conveniently placed in arrondissements making it very easy to plan my days while in Paris! While watching I jotted down everything that is going on in my "Things to See". Thank you so much for creating this for us first-time visitors! Excellent! Merci!

I found that the best way to visit the Louvre was to prebook a 9:00 am ticket and be in line by 8:30. I wasn't at the front of the line but I got in early enough to make a beeline for the Mona Lisa and see it before the huge crowds formed. It's worth getting up early.

Fantastic video 👏🏻
My wife and I traveled to London and Paris last June. I thought London was my favorite city having traveled there previously, but wow!!! I left my entire heart in Paris!!!! We cannot wait to go back. Thank you so much for all of the fabulous work on this. We will absolutely refer back to this video to plan our next trip to magical Paris💗

Thanks Christina ! This was very helpful, I will be traveling in a few weeks !

Thank you for all your videos! It is gonna make my planning for activities way easy for me! I will be accompanying an elderly person with a mobility scooter that can break down to a carryon size luggage. Would you know if the Paris cruise allows us to bring it? We can always fold the scooter but just need a safe place to store it on the boat.

Sorry that you left out Musee Jacquemart-Andre. Blvd. Haussmannin the 8th arondisement. Fabulous place.

Great video, studied in paris and this is spot on

If you get to Place de la Bastille you'll want to go on market days. Such a huge market with a lot of inexpensive souvenir tables as you enter. I also saw Van Gogh at Atelier des Lumières - so awesome!!! wish I could be there to see Egyptian Pharaohs. Love your videos - you have a great voice and your recommendations are spot on!!!

[MirandaN]

The best video that I've watched this far🙌🏽 I am visiting Paris next week and will be staying in Saint Germaine

[vidyasonavane]

One advice: would you write the French names of the places on up top of the screen. We can’t read when the CC is on and difficult to catch French pronunciation. Please slow down a little as not everyone catch the name esp for the first times.

[visabel]

I’m actively planning a trip over to Paris. We plan to be there for 8 days and I’m just so stoked for all of this. 😭🤍

Love your videos . Have you or are you planning on going to Iceland?

[colinjames]

I’m sure France is beautiful. The finely tuned culture of exuberance. Brittany is the most alluring thing about her
