Funny, I was discussing density of population with my Filipina gf the other day and compared Paris ( cause I'm french) and Metro Manila (cause she's Filipina) and I can say that the 12 millions announced in that video is the whole Ile-de-France region which is the equivalent of a state in the US not only Paris intra-muros.
I would advise Americans feeling home sick in Europe to go to the city center of any major city of the former Roman empire.
Romans built cities with a rectangular grid pattern which will feel just like home. Run away from those pesky middle ages neighborhoods where streets can't remain straight for more than two meters and enjoy the European blocks!
Wow Ryan looks so happy looking at this video… He can't even hide that shy smile 😁 ok ok! You are allowed to take your kid and wife on a trip to Europe! But! Don't do it in the American way (40 countries in 5 days) if you can only see one, than you only see one
So on my humble opinion when you are in Paris you must visit the Louvre (art museum), it is just fantastic. From the monuments one should try to visit the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Sacre Coeur and Notrre Dame and after that just walk around and enjoy the great architecture and this vibrant city. Use the Metro (public transport) to go from A to B. But France has so much more to offer than just Paris. Visit the Normandie if you cann or Brittany or the Loire Region, all really beautiful and worth going to.
All France is beautiful ! I would love to hear you learn more about my country. I am from Sarlat (a beautiful medieval city) and I now live near Bordeaux (a big city in south-west, 2h in train from Paris)
It's great how you acknowledge the beauty of things that seem perfectly normal to us Europeans (e.g. peoplecentric streets, outdoor seating, historic buildings, etc.). Your sincere enthusiasm makes me proud of where I live. I send my regards from the Czech Republic.
The best thing about Paris are the exit roads that lead you away from Paris. It used to be nice, now it's an utter sh!t hole of a city. Full of pickpockets, scammers, illegal immigrants, gangs, it's dirty and quite unsafe for both locals and tourists..
Digital what ??? That's light pollution we ban them .
Oh and about the Obélisque it's one of a pair of obelisks that originally flanked the entrance to the Luxor Temple in Egypt, built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II over 3,000 years ago.
Yes paris is good and beautiful but as a Parisian I'm not impressed (like Eiffel tour is just an iron structure + don't forget all touristic cities are not that great . Be careful don't fall into the Expedia enchantment
Even coming from the french "province" (=anywhere but Paris) , this city is astounding: When you walk or drive there, going from traffic jam to traffic jam, you happen to stumble on some historic monument, be it a statue, an arch, a palace or… something. This town has so much history it takes a liketime to explore. (but I'm so glad to not live there anymore)
I think this is the case for the whole Europe , countries always have more than just what is in 1 city. Paris have more than the Eifel Tower , also France have more than Paris too. But also Europe in general have more than just the 4-5 countries tourists always visit.
La Tour Eiffel ce n'est pas la France, c'est Paris. Et Paris, ce n'est pas la France. Comme on dit, (humour): A Paris, il n'y a pas de français, il n'y a que des Parisiens et des touristes"🤣. FAKE NEWS: Il n'y a pas de repos à Paris😅: bruit, surpopulation, saleté, pollution, insécurité… Tous les français vous le diront. Si vous voulez découvrir, visiter et connaitre la VRAIE France, n'allez surtout pas à Paris, venez voir nos merveilles partout ailleurs: le Nord, le Sud, l'Est, l'Ouest, le Centre… 💙🤍❤
Night trains between Paris and Berlin were reinstated these last few days. The pylon at the center of the spiral staircase in the Louvre pyramid is just an elevator to link the courtyard to the massive underground complex that forms the welcoming area of the museum. There are other entrances throughout the palace as well that lead to the same concourse. Centre Pompidou is what we call Functionnalist architecture, all the space inside and all the functions to make it work (power, air conditionning, water supply, fire extinguishing system…) placed outside. It was trendy in the 70s but people find it quite ugly. Digital billboards can be found in other areas such as Montparnasse or La Défense but it's quite subdued compared to London, New York or Tokyo…

10:40 forget the locks on "pont des arts" bridge. Paris mayor replaced the grills by glasses.
Love is dead, even in the city of love…
You’d better go in live june when it’s not to not nor to cold
I was born and raised in Zagreb, Croatia,and Paris is my second home…well…at least in my heart ❤️ You MUST visit Paris at least once in your life!
Been there once…hope I never have to return to that city. Don't understand what people see in it 🤷♂
I've seen Ryan react to so many European things now I'm quite looking forward to him vlogging a two week Euro trip 😂💸
As a french, this city is a disgrace. Pick pockets, trash, rats, drug addicts everywhere. Tourists being raped near the Eiffel tower… shame
They didnt talk about the grumpy habitant of paris.
The Parisien are always angry, dont stand on there way , slowing them, or even talk to them. You will be yell on
PS: to all Americans: "No, these monuments are NOT copies of those in the States. Those in Paris are the original ones" 😉

In french, a block is called un pâté de maisons.

There is a lie in the video.
Paris is NOT the most visited city in the world. Kraków and Prague, both attarct more tourists than Paris.

Really disappointed to see an American measuring things in meters rather than the common US system – football fields.
Yo America, this is culture

il y a une loi contre les panneaux sauvages et heureusement
when will you come to Europe and do an irl stream reaction

What if he finds out that London to Paris is a 2,5 h train ride?
Europe is more than its countries capitals.. Try Northern France for here.. Saint Malo,Mont saint Michelle,Etretat etc… ❤
Paris c'est sale ça pue c'est dirigé par des écolo et c'est peuplé d'étranger.
Paris ce n'est pas la France.
Visit France not Paris !!!

1:45 One day trip to Paris ? WTF ???
