My name is Jay Swanson – I’m an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa. Paris (yes the one in France) has been my home for years now and I have every intention of staying here for as long as they’ll have me. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much. Now I make videos about visiting Paris, traveling in Europe, and try to share what I’ve learned along the way. I hope you enjoyed what you found.

That is so freaking cool about the women's marathon, it's so poetic
Great video! Loved the tidbit about the marathon mirroring the women's march to Versailles.
It’s a sliding blocks puzzle is what it is 🍷
How about an update episode with Paul and Le Peloton Cafe? But I do respect that you probably would like to keep your regular haunts private. Cheers to the daily episodes for however long they last.
Yep, looks like late 80's / early 90's dental office – spot on! Love the fact that you highlight the latest fashion trends out of Paris!
I went to Peleton and had the sun dried tomato and goat cheese. I recreate it here in Germany as often as I can.
I was wondering if you were still going to the Peleton? I havent seen you there in a while. I loved visiting there a few years ago.
Loved the lunch bench. ❤
I am personally besotted with the Eiffel Tower. The iron work is amazing and to think it was only originally meant to be temporary is mind blowing. Imagine Paris today without it?! It's probably not the done thing to want to climb it , too "touristy" but the views from it and sheer scale of the architecture is a must in my book. I love how the one time I visited Paris I was able to find my way alone on foot just by orientating myself by where I was in relation to her 😊 My dream is to live in Paris where I can see it from my tiny apartment balcony 🥰
As a flag nerd, I gotta ask. What's the flag that's flying way up high at 6:54 ? I think it's yellow?
Thought the Hotel de Ville was destroyed during the Paris commune’s time and rebuilt after?
🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃
I love Jess, she is so sweet. Also you've been working so hard on your health, it's time to drop the coke Jay.
I often look up the cafes and restaurants you visit on Google maps and it was so funny to see the pictures of the reviews of Le Peloton with you in the background or a picture of Cooper up on the wall of the cafe. Looks like a great place!
Gezzz…two votes for Concord and twice is has BARELY lost!!! 😡
Great to see the Peleton again. I think that’s an excellent touch that they’re commemorating the women’s march on Versailles in the marathon. That’s going to be great!
I always reoommend Fat Tire Tour Company. They're solid!
The decor on the faced of hotel is surprisingly unsophisticated for most of the campaigns and decor I’ve seen them do elsewhere and recently
Every time I ride past Hotel de Ville I feel those big billboards they put out look like they've been faded by the sun. Strange design choice.
Isn’t a big chunk of the city under construction and scaffolding?
