  • My favorite Paris neighborhood, and your choices are real top shelf top fines! But my wife is shocked that you don't like chocolates Alain, but she appreciated you showing us these wonderful premium Chocolatier. 🍫 I appreciate how useful your content is, even for someone who has been to Paris dozens of times, there's still a "I didn't know that" moment in all your videos.

  • Ok, ok! I am an American living in Hawaii who delights in watching travel videos. I am delighted with yours. Sooo many videos are by travelers- including the Hawaiian ones. Love that a genuine Frenchman is educating us. Now for my shock! Just this past year I started ordering Mariage Freres tea. Specially the Earl grey French Blue. Suddenly in your video it appears 😊 YOU are the authentic French travel advisor. I mean it. Enough already with Americans presuming to tell me how to enjoy France. Mele Kalikimaka 🎅🏻😎Now Google that and Merci😀🤓

    • "Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day" Joyeux Noël will be my answer! Mariage Frères have some Xmas specials that are worth the try.

  • I visited Richart when I was I was in Paris in May. We arrived a mere 5 minutes before they were to close for lunch but the sales lady was so courteous and friendly. She did not make us rush through our selections. A young couple came in while we were there and she was just as friendly with them. Needless to say the macarons and chocolate covered almonds were a successful souvenir. Thank you for keeping Paris close to my heart in between visits (which are never frequent enough). Merci

  • I wish I had seen your video before staying in St. Germain two weeks ago! Georges Larnicol did NOT show up on an Apple/Google Maps search for 'food', but it was unmissable after we emerged from the Odeon metro station. The full sized Kouign-aman, in particular, was a showstopper...I never describe food as sexy, but....😄

  • Oh that chocolate! I've just been staying in the 6th but along by The Luxembourg Gardens near rue d'assas,the slightly less posh end I guess but there are some fabulous shops along rue Placide + rue cherche-du-midi. I had my meal at Bombance,it WAS delicious and it didn't break the bank. That place is in the Marais of course. Your films are appreciated especially for the precise details you include.

  • Thanks. Spent Monday, my last full day, walking around the St. Germain. Had gone to get a croissant from Maison d'Isabelle, but it was closed. And, upon your recommendation, I did try a Mt. Blanc. It did not have enough chestnut flavor, and I wanted to try another, but couldn't justify another 10,000 calories. Maybe next year! Thanks again.

  • It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you. I know, the French food combined with a strolling the iconic Parisian streets is an unbeatable combination, but I would like to make a suggestion, if I may. What if you gave us, your viewers, some tips about, let’s say, best Parisian tailors or shops/boutiques where one can buy a solid French brand men’s wool suits or coats? Comme IZAC, FURSAC ou Bruce Field, par exemple. (Vous voyez ce que je veux dire?)

The same wines they serve at Cosi, Semilla , Fish and Freddies their wine bar...All these places serve "La Dernier Goutte" wines and are all in same area and owned by same high quality owners..

  • I am not a fan of Marriage Fr. they are imho overpriced for the quality they offer, but I am somewhat surprised you did not go to Maison Verot (3 Rue Notre Dame des Champs). Please give it a try if you already don´t know it... And, be a man, get a full size Kuign Aman and not a kuignonette, Larnicol is the best ever. I know, I "studied" Kuign Amans in Quimper. And, yes, it did "wonders" to my hips🙄

    • Yes, Verot is a great delicatessen, but outside my Saint-Germain scope, even if they are in the 6th. The good thing about kouignettes is you can try different "tastes" in a smaller sized Kouign Amann!
