Paris Explained

What’s your favorite building in Paris?

These videos are awesome. I was stationed in Germany and got to visit Paris a few times. Everyone always jokes about how proud Parisians are. Having scene and experienced the city, I completely understand. They have every right to be proud.

I loved that amphitheater when I lived in Paris. I used to take my lunch there all the time. It's surprisingly peaceful, aside from the occasional ball being kicked into your head.

This is a very good summary of the major stages in the development of the Paris we know today. When Baron Haussmann tore down half of medieval Paris and replaced it with stone fronted classical buildings in a uniform society, much of Paris hated it, it was too modern for them. Now we regard his layouts as the finest and most beautiful planned city in the world.

Thank you Manuel. This video was so interesting and really explained the "why" Paris is as it is today. With much appreciation.

This kind of videos are amazing, I hope you keep making more! I would really love to see Istanbul explained like this

It would have been nice, with all the parallels between Rome and Paris, to remember that the cities are only twinned because : "Only Paris is worthy of Rome; only Rome is worthy of Paris 🗿" 🇫🇷 France 🤝 Italy 🇮🇹

I thought I knew Paris as I visited the city many times. But I've leaned things I didn't know from your video. Thank you. And my favourite building in Paris Is Opera Garnier. Mercy pour ton content tres enrichissant,

Only channel where I look forward to seeing a new video! Love this channel! ❤

Muchas gracias Manuel, estuve en París a principios de abril y me encantó la ciudad. Ahora disfrutaré de tu video hasta que pueda volver.

I'm from Paris and I absolutely loved this video. Thank you for teaching me many new things!

Small Addition: Place de Grève was one of the few open space of Medieval Paris because it was the river port of Paris at the time. Medieval Paris is a very "naval" and commercial city thanks to the Seine connection to the sea, and Place de Grève was where all the ocean and river traffic landed on the shore. For a while the merchant class dominated the city politics, formed the powerful guild of "Hanse Parisienne des Marchands de l'eau", which emblem, a ship in the waves, later became the emblem of Paris. This naval tradition is also why the city hall of Paris is located at Place de Grève.

Vengaaaaa, voy a ir a paris para estos juegos olimpicos y no sabes como me va a ayudar este video, eres un crack

I visited Paris this March and regret so much that I had a chance to observe this video just now. Would like to visit this magnificent city again with all the knowledge I have now thanks to you, Manuel!

Love this channel

I'm from Paris and i really appreciate this video. Thank you !

I don't know if you have been living in France but your French accent/prononciation is very good for a foreigner, thanks for the video

Going to Paris this summer. This just enriches my emotion to visit it again

As always, Manuel, your material is superbly produced. And this time, as a native Québécois French speaker myself, I can say your pronunciation of French names is spot on. Have you studied French? Thank you for sharing this beautiful material. Cheers!

I can't waitttttttttr❤
