    1. My artist wife says the Louvre was far too much trouble and didn’t enjoy the countless Egyptian items. She said she would recommend going to other museums, some of which are free.

    2. If photography was banned at the Louvre tourists would stop going, we live in a democracy and it’s people right to photograph if they so choose, you can introduce restrictions for instance in paid exhibitions in galleries like they have at London’s National Gallery.

    3. Thank you both for putting together such a practical and helpful guide for anyone planning their first trip to Paris. I really appreciate all the essential tips regarding airport arrivals and the Eurostar, as they will definitely make my future travels much smoother and stress-free. You two are fantastic, @JayandKarolina. πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ—Ό

    4. Great Video tips Guys! We've been to Paris many times and have made many of the same mistakes. Every time you travel there. You learn more and more
      about how to navigate Paris. You can never get enough of Paris. The Tiny shops are where to go. Always support the locals.
      The Toilet Finder App is something new to us. So cool. We will download it. Love it.
      Hope you guys are doing well. Sending you much loveπŸ’šπŸ’šβ€β€ from Jim and Harriet back in Richmond, VA.

    5. Very informative video guys and not been to Paris for so long used to go every year from the age of 4 to the age of 16 cause my family had foreign students and we have been in contact with this one guy from when he was 14 and still in contact now I mean we used to get free accommodation while we were there which was oretty good but its mad my mum said we have veen in contact with the family for over 40 years now and he is now married with children so when I go back to Paris soon I hope I am going to be doing a kind of roadtrip as got parts of tge family in Paris some in Fontaine bleau and his parents live in the south of France niw so dont need to think about paying for accommodation at all but the rest if the advice and apps I will certainly use for other stuff like visits to attractions etc so great video guy as normal
