We’re on a whirlwind tour through Europe and after starting in Florence and making our way to Milan, we’ve left Italy and landed in Paris, France. This is our family’s first trip to The City of Lights and there’s way too much to see and do in just four days. So, we’re pausing our new mission of living like locals and focusing instead on finding as many authentic and kid-friendly sites and bites as we can get our chilly little hands on. Let’s start devouring some Parisian culture!

ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.

They are a lovely family, but I get why they don't have more views. Their reactions and the video edit feel to rehearsed to be spontaneous and relatable. Also, as great they are, the parents give off a strange stepford wives vibe that's coming across as obnoxious and disingenuous. A more patient viewer will be able to get over the initial feeling because the doc is actually good. But they need a different editor, someone more attune to content and humor than just image quality.

That was fun.... Paris has always intrigued me... the French seem to be so cultured and expressive. I was only there one day on a layover, but I walked all over town with my luggage... and it all made a strong impression on me... I just loved watching the people, the cute streets and shops and cafes... the expressions of beauty, everywhere... except for the smoking, I remember it was quite extreme haha... good job as usual fam... you fit right in with the Paris' endless charm.

We aren’t fans of the smoking either! But we were also very impressed with how clean the city was, especially with how big the city is. One of the evenings we were at a second floor restaurant next to a window and saw a single man walk up and down the street and not only exchange the full trash bags for empty ones, but he was picking up trash on the street, side walk and gutters. We were impressed.

The irony is the Mona Lisa wasn’t even famous until it was stolen then found. I’ve been to Paris many times and love a full day in the Louvre but people lining up to see it kinda blows my mind. Great channel, you’ve earned a sub! And PS - love locks are terrorism. They ruin bridges, infrastructure and have to be destroyed.

Hi! So happy you found our channel. Colt and Brooklyn are 10 and 11yrs. Honestly, sometimes they complain about walking so much but for the most part they understand it's part of traveling. We try to break up the walking as much as possible with sites and fun conversations. And the food, they both do great! Even Brooklyn, she's a very picky eater, but when we travel she always finds the courage to try new foods. We're so proud of both of them.

Hello from South France nice family, 14:38 mmm ...No, contrary to urban legend, neither the French croissant nor the "viennoiserie," despite its name, originated in Austria, but rather in France, and more particularly in Paris. In reality, the "Austrian" croissant was nothing more than a kind of sandwich bread in the shape of a croissant. Marie-Antoinette brought this bread back from Austria when she settled at the court of Versailles. Her cook was then inspired by its shape to create the French croissant by planning what's now called a puff pastry (a succession of layers of sweet pastry and layers of butter of the same thickness), giving it a crescent shape to please her queen and thus remind her of her country. The name "viennoiserie" has therefore been used to designate all the recipes using this multi-layered dough and differentiate them from pastry in general. Thank you for sharing your Parisian discoveries with us. Peace, people. ☮😉

Beautiful video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
