Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2012 | In this second of two episodes on Europe's "City of Light," we'll ride a unicorn into the Middle Ages at the Cluny Museum, take a midnight Paris joyride in a classic car, get an extremely close-up look at heavenly stained glass in Sainte-Chapelle, go on a tombstone pilgrimage at Père Lachaise Cemetery, and savor the Parisian café scene. Few cites are so confident in their expertise in good living - and as travelers, we get to share in that uniquely Parisian "joie de vivre." #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #paris

Although I live in a poor country where people like me can't afford to travel around these significant places in rich countries, watching your documentary offers me a chance to turn my imagination into reality. Sitting in a room watching these videos makes me feel as if I am out there experiencing them live. Thank you Steve!

I just wanted to tell you that if you put your mind to something you can change your life, just one goal makes the next day easier and the more pressure and difficulties you release the easier it gets to move forward, just set a goal, crawl, walk or run towards it and never look back!

I remember working for 3 weeks at the Palais de Justice. I regularly visited the Sainte-Chapelle and enjoyed sitting on the stone benches at the exit of the stairs. I watched the tourists enter the upper chapel with its unique stained glass windows and many had tears in their eyes, overwhelmed by the beauty of this place. Thank you Saint-Louis!

It’s in a class all by itself. Watching this video made me want to pack my bags and hop on the next plane to Paris!

Over the years, my first book must have been in the 90s, I loved Rick Steve’s Travel guides for his interesting insights on historical cities, with a dash of humour! It makes reading entertaining and interesting ! I’m glad to discover that he has evolved into KZfaq video guides now ! The videos are definitely a great complement to his books, which will always be indispensable !:)

Don't understand the quip about a ''long medieval slumber''. How many universities were founded from the 11th to 14th centuries in Europe, from England to Prague so many were coming up. What were all the grand Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals made of sticks and mud? The castles, medieval palaces, the artworks. Even science and maths were being well developed in that supposed ''dark age''.

@LUIS-ox1bv 10 ай бұрын

Rick Steve hould know better. The Medieval period saw advancements in engineering, architecture, the arts, music, and scholastics. The term, " Dark Ages," was a pejorative given to that period by those in the 18th century who despised anything that wasn't derivative of ancient Greece and Rome.
