FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? Over five years now, holy cow.
What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS
You're always talking about living on some ship. WHAT SHIP? - I made a "Draw My Life" video that explains a lot here: • Draw My Life
Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).
What do you film with? - I've made a lot of changes recently, but I try to keep my gear list up to date if you want to see what I use and buy some for yourself: www.jayswanson.me/gear
What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school.
Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do.
Why are you living in #Paris? - Because I've always wanted to; I feel at home here: • Why I Want to Live in ...
Do you speak French? - Oui. • Un Jour en Francais (E...
Do you make money off KZfaq? - Ha, sorta. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.
I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - The easiest and best way to support me is through Patreon, where you can pitch in as little as $5/mo to help me make better videos: / jayswanson
I don't trust this Patreon thing - can I just paypal you? - Here's my ko-fi if that's your thing (and coffee is your game): ko-fi.com/jayswanson
But I want to send you something tangible! - I do have a wishlist on Amazon, though it's a bit complicated with the international shipping situation. So instead people often drop off or ship things to the Peloton Cafe in Paris for me.
Thanks for watching!

Two things: 1) Liked the French interlude with French Laura. Paris really is all about grabbing a drink, sitting on a terrace with a friend, watching the city go by and simply being present. 2) long time ago, I worked at a dessert place and the owner spent a considerable amount of time in Paris and brought back weird and wonderful underground/alternative/chill music to play at the restaurant. A few of those CD volumes were from the Buddha Bar and we were all a little obsessed. It totally got me hooked into that genre (always appropriate at dinner parties).

great episode Jay! I liked the explanation of "Haussmann" style architecture; it would make logical sense also with heat rising, the upper floors would be hotter without air-conditioning. So the 2nd or 3rd floor would be ideal especially with taller ceilings😎

The Buddah Bar brings back memories of utterly debauched nights being 'misspent' back in the early 2000's when I first arrived in Paris. The place was popping. Haven't been back in almost two decades, but I'm glad to see it looks exactly the same as it used to inside.

You really do have to include more French language into your videos. I found that really very good. I am a frequent watcher and "Liker" of your videos but the French portion got me to pause the video and comment something I have never done before. Pete NYC

After watching this tour of the 8th, we watched your original tour of the 8th as part of your original 20 in 20...it brought back great memories of the reddish sunglasses, the sense of movement that was part of filming while on the wheel...fun to revisit the young Jay.

Stayed in the 8th in April--arrived on Easter to a charming boutique hotel with the beautiful St. Augustin right outside our window (it was packed on Easter Sunday). Agree that the 8th doesn't seem to have the most dining options, but we enjoyed that very Noir café and several other spots in the area. We found it a convenient location between Montmartre and the river, and accessible to the opera & lovely dining & city views atop Galerie Printemps. We also enjoyed returning to the comparative quiet after all the crowds elsewhere. To each their own, I guess?
