The sheer fact that I’ve been shat on by birds at not one, not two, but THREE different places of those you’ve shown in this video. The audacity of French pigeons -

didnt even last a minute without talking about ur ex huh, consistency is key.

also titled “look france, i’m literally advertising ur capital. PLEASE renew my visa”

Damon giving zero fvcks about the people around watching him cartwheel as his new form of transportation

Can we talk about the Color Grading though, simply incroyable

Y'all ever seen a kartwheel intro tho? 🤸‍♂️

Seriously how was she so calm about losing her purse. I would have gone bonkers lol. Hope it was found

me, a parisian born and raised who’s never been to les arènes de lutèce : 👁👄👁

As an individual who failed at his driving test I am ready to adopt this cartwheeling lifestyle

no one: Damon in every video: my ex and I dated for 6 yrs but we are still friends now

Nobody: Damon: 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️

“Who would wanna go to the states these days” exactly plz get me outta here😂

THE COMPOSITION OF THESE SHOTS IS * chefs kiss * - honeypot films

Take a shot every time Damon mentions his ex

Damon, quarantine is forcing us all to live out our dreams of traveling vicariously through you... the world is on your shoulders... no pressure

You are the perfect example of someone who just followed their north star, worked super hard/made no excuses, and is just flourishing at showing the world their gifts :) I LOVE IT!! Thanks for the inspiration, Damon! This one was particularly beautiful.

For the deleted scene question: historians and the like have changed it from b.c. (Before Christ) to b.c.e. (Before Common Era) and c.e. (Common Era) instead of a.d. ! It just happens that secularising terminology takes a long time to catch on

if damon doesn't put that mask over his nose imma cove over there

The other day I was just looking arround Paris on google maps and noticed these huge circular white spot in a very central area. Then came to find out it was the ruins of an old Roman amphitheater that seems to be completly hiding there encircled on one side by a row of buildings with a single narrow hole through them leading do the arène on one side and by a dense park on the other one. I was just blown away by how it is so hidden there in the heart of the city and how little attention it gets. Then the video starts and i recohnize the open ground I had only seen on google maps getting cartwheeled by Damon giving it some attention.

only damon would say : As well as like BLOODY COMBAT... alrIgHT lEts GO get A PaSTry”

Is there an award for best intro????? Cuz there should holy sheit

I am 13 seconds in but HOW ARE HIS INTROS ALWAYS SO EPIC I CANT

I feel like you are the only one who can pull of a bucket hat, without looking ridiculous

Just in case anyone pops over here about the Richelieu library : it's affiliated to the INHA (Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art -- National Institute of Art History) and you indeed need a student card to access it (only if you're in a Art History Masters degree, you cannot access it if you're studying anything else or in any degree lower) but they do sometimes let people in just to look ; as a visitor you will not get far beyond the entrance door. But you can still see it... And yes, it's absolutely gorgeous.

Conspiracy Theory: Damon's ex doesn't exist because Damon's ex were the friendships we made along the way 😌

Did I just come from Ashley's vlog because he was hot and have such a cute personality? Yes.

6:15 she has a point. we need to stop labeling food as good and bad, rather call them more or less nutrition dense. Just because cake is unhealthy, doesn't mean you shouldn't partake in celebrations. Food is more than what is healthy for your body, it contributes to social health, emotional health and mental health.

anyone else screaming because Damon did his bisous after touching the SOLE OF HIS SHOE

I am just dying to go to Paris! I’ve been learning French, doing duolingo, reading French fiction short stories, watching tons of French videos and just trying to get as much exposure to the language as possible! I’m hoping by probably 2022 when COVID lets me travel stress free lol I’ll be fluent

Damon stop you’re only making me want to leave America more 🥺

Jardin Aplin is free! The entrance is a little annoying to find but it's definitely open, I was just there haha.... Next time you'll hopefully find it, it's worth it!!

I love that lowkey slip-in of “I was peeing and thinking of that.” Then *CUT AWAY TO THE NEXT SCENE*

4 years ago I went to Paris on a school trip and my favourite memory was visiting Les Arenes de Lutece, it was a little impromptu visit totally off our schedule and we ended up playing a huge game of soccer with these little french kids. it was such a cool but slightly strange moment to be in a completely different country I'd never been to before, playing with kids who didn't understand english, but still somehow getting along and hanging out!!

“Who would want to go to the states right now?!” HAHA TRUU. Get me outta hereeeeee!

As a fellow Parisian who's lived there for four years, this is soooo inspirational cause even though I did most things, I had no idea about the jardin alpin. Thanks Damon and Chloe!

It’s become more common (at least where I went to school) to say “BCE” (before common era”) and “CE” (“common era”) instead of “BC” and “AD.”

I also live in Paris : through your "American" eyes/point of view (?) I realised how beautiful my city is Thank you for that Un plaisir de regarder tes vidéos 😉

dude why aren't you on Netflix again??? or better yet freakin Arte. the editing on these and the amount of details is honestly outstanding. almost as outstanding as the number of times your ex is mentioned but hey we live for that shit (as well as the outtakes, god bless)

When she anxiously pulled out them tangled up headphones! Baby I lost it! 😂💀 Basically my life right now...

"I did have an ex here" what? no! shut up! really? was he french? this is new never heard before information

Chloe adds so much with that proper British accent and the Mary Poppins bag gags.

17:40 Why are Americans still using the imperial system, where globalization is at its peak and they're the only country who doesn't use the metric one?? Mysteries of the world Damon, mysteries of the world. Loved the vlog, you've got such a unique style at editing, I bow to you!

For someone who lost her purse, Chloe looks super chill about it. Btw, did she finally find it?

Damn, Damon flexes on us with his French AND his cartwheels 😂

I just adoooore your content, you even inspired me to start my own channel, thank you so much and keep up the great work! 🥺❤️

I love getting to see you go to places in Paris that you haven’t been to or don’t normally go to. I was hoping to visit Paris this year but my plans were dashed by the pandemic and everything so now I have to live vicariously through you.

I am livingggg for this content! I now have even more things to add to my list of things I need to do and see in Paris! The list never ends and I've been living here for 2 years. Love this city ♥

Loved this video! I spent 8 months working in Paris in 2018, which involved a weekly commute from London, so I only really got to explore the city on weekday evenings. But I did end up falling in love with the place - and particularly the Rive Gauche (Left Bank), which I note you disparaged as 'old, wealthy and boring', lol! You failed to mention that most of the colleges and universities (e.g. the Sorbonne) in Paris are in this area, too (i.e. south of the river, not north) and so it has a large population of students and young people, and a corresponding number of venues, e.g. bars, that cater for them, so the nightlife in some areas of, say, the 5th Arrondissement, can be very good. (I loved the fact that you ate your pastry on Place De La Contrascarpe, which was one of my absolute favourite places to hang out in the evenings (usually at 'La Contrascarpe' bar-restaurant, which can be seen behind you in those shots), as it is pretty-much the epicentre of night-life in the 5th Arr., along with Rue Mouffetard and Rue Descartes, which connect with it.) This area also has far fewer tourists than areas north of the river - e.g. Le Marais, Chatelet, Monmartre - and this is a *very good thing* IMO :) Of course, gay nightlife tends to be found mostly around Le Marais, although it's fairly low-key and spread-out, and without a well-defined centre (from what I could tell...), unlike e.g. London. Regarding the disused elevated railway you walked along, London has one of those too, called The Parkway, which runs between Finsbury Park and Highgate, and is very tranquil and picturesque. I never walked along the one in Paris, but now I know it exists, I will put it on my list for places to see on my next visit :) I found it quite hilarious when you were led around in circles by the signs in the botanical gardens, as that sooooo reminded me of one thing I found absolutely *INFURIATING* about Paris - the badly-designed and confusing signage, especially in train and metro stations! A person could easily be brought to the brink of a *complete psychological meltdown* trying to navigate the warren of tunnels, passageways and escalators in some of the large transport hubs, such as (the infamous) Chatelet-Les-Halles or (the almost-as-infamous) Gare-du-Nord, because the signage is so shockingly bad and misleading! Firstly, signs are *tiny* (compared to UK public transport, at least); secondly, there is way too much signage everywhere, which is actually a *bad* thing when different signs within the same area seem to *contradict* each other; thirdly, individual signs can have ambiguous meanings - e.g. does a down-arrow on a sign mean 'continue down this passageway' or 'go down the stairs/escalator ahead'? (Actually, I discovered that could mean *either* of those things, depending on the location and the whim of the person who installed the sign!) And in a station as large and nightmarishly complicated as Chatelet-Les-Halles *this is not helpful*! Anyway, rant over, lol :) Thanks again for the videos - I really enjoy them, and they make me feel nostalgic for my time in Paris. I am envious of your command of French, btw; I only mastered the basics (though I am told my accent was impeccable, lol!). And congratulations on getting your visa renewed for another four years! Hopefully this means I can look forward to four more years of videos :)

When Thursday's are the new Friday's thanks to Damon's content 🙏

i truly did not want this video to end.

one of the people who saved my 2020: damon dominique I just started watching your videos like maybeeee a month or two months ago? and they all are such high quality. I always end up feeling more inspired after watching these :)

Damon's videos are SUCH a pleasure to watch - like sooooo beautiful!!

nobody: damon: u know? i had an ex😌😔😳😵

I lived near ledru-rollin last year and I’m so glad someone has mentioned the coulée verte because it is one of my favourite places I paris! Also the marché d’Aligre near by is a really good reasonable price market :))

dayum damon... the level of beauty and whimsicality in this video is ASTRONOMICAL. and I gotta say for me, watching your vlog is therapeutic and tormenting at the same time. It reminds me how much I miss this city...wow, it's a long way to say merci trop trop.

this video was BEAUTIFUL and the sheer joy within it/beauty brought tears to my eyes this morning!

I'm over here liking every comment cause this community is just so damn funny lol!

do you know how FAST I will be getting myself to Paris once quarantine lifts

these are the BEST made videos on KZfaq, literally sensational filming and editing. Thank you!

i love your videos! bring on the good vibes and the sunshine!

11/10 cartwheel 👏🏼

"who would want to go to the states nowadays" I'm trying to leave ah. Got into grad school in London but had to defer so we out here suffering

Great stuff as ever young Damon! Crazy how Paris lures people in, I was your age when I lived there but, that, was a long time ago! Thanks! From grey, wet & humid Ireland! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️

Damon you’re one of those people who know how to live and i love how your videos turn out. Watching your videos makes me wanna explore the world.

No One: Damon trying to put on his bucket hat on the stairs

Was going to bed when something told me I should open KZfaq... Of course I somehow knew Damon had dropped another bomb as video

ugh, your videos are so fricking good ! love u

Je suis trooop contente de te voir dans mon quartier!!! Je viens de polynesie et je suis a paris depuis 2 ans j'explore enfin grace a toi! Trop heureuse d'avoir retrouvé ta chaine

I never knew Paris was named Letecia. And that view from the Ferris wheel looked stunning!

Can we talk about Damon touching the sole of his shoe and then immediately touching his face 😭

The aesthetics of your vids are always SO pleasing. Amazing lightning, shots, and editing my friend

Ugh you are the best at making a vibe!!

Oh nooo, Damon, you have to cover your nose with that mask :o I was nervous the entire Patisserie-scene :D

I've been living in Paris for 4 years and i've never even heard of that first place...You've probably already been but if you like Ledru Rollin you should go to the produce markets at Place D'Aligre (on everyday of the week apart from Monday) it's one of the best in Paris. Also, Chez Janou is a very cute restaurant at night, especially now with the outdoor seating.

damon, your videos a truly a work of art. thank you

ohmygod wait this is the first video i watched from your channel and it definitely won't be the last! everything about this is so aesthetically pleasing!!

le montage est tellement dynamique

I just can’t understand why Damon doesn’t have a Navigo card.

YOUR VIDEOS ALWAYS INSPIRE ME TO JUST ENJOY LIFE. Ugh I love you ❤️

All of your videos are so well thought out, love the editing!!

when Damon grabbed the bottom of his shoe 16:04 and then proceeded to stick that hand all over his face and blow kisses from it......... O____o Love you Damon just don't catch the COVID

WE DON’T TALK ABOUT FOUR LOKOS HERE THIS IS OUR SAFE SPACE

Your talent to make interesting dynamic videos is becoming so so great !!!! Love you 🥰😘😘😘

everytime you upload i get so excited and I'm never disappointed. like production quality: AMAZING humor: PERFECT editing: EXQUISITE....you...a star....anyways just though u should know that i love you & ur channel

Quick comment regarding the Before Christ/After Death thing. While BC/AD is still widely used, there is a push to start using Before Common Era (BCE) and Common Era (CE) instead. Things take time to pick up though, and old habits die hard lol. Also, love your content. I'm so envious of you. I visited Paris November 2019 for a thesis research trip and it was truly amazing. I wish I could live there.

BC and Ad are old terms, historians shiz now use BCE before common era and CE common era but they are just replacements for bc and ad, still centres on the death of jc

I love love love these videos where Damon shows us hidden gems

The old Ferris Wheel in the Park was also great. I stayed in the 1st Arrondissement with my daughter when she was a young teen. Every late June/July night we would get an ice cream and ride the wheel at sunset - which is almost 10:00pm. I have great photos of everything in the area from the wheel and we both have great memories. We live in NYC and it needs a wheel like this. The old clunker wheel was really inexpensive to ride. Paris is so beautiful and the colors in daylight are rarely ever harsh.

did chloe ever find her purse :c

the fact that was all notice how much he mentions his ex 😂😂

DAMON, i've already said this but i'm saying it again, i LOVE how you edit. i love love love love it. please don't stop making videos. please don't stop editing. you are the best and you are AMAZING MWA.

Listen I've officially been a subscriber from Indy for 3 whole days.... I LOVE your channel and I'm so mad that I didn't find you sooner !

Damon talks about his ex Every single subscriber: HES DOING IT AGAIN

Will the cartwheel be a permanent intro? It should be

Loving the intro sooooo much Damon ! Your videos are amazing ! I found and have been binge watching

10 seconds in and it's already iconic. Damon, t'es magnifique.

That one kid on disney channel who cartwheeled across the country

You don't need to pay to get into the Jardin botanique, the entrance is separate from the zoo (the ménagerie). Maybe it's closed in August though

The video quality, the color grading, the editing, the content, the humour! DAMN

Love seeing chloe in the videos! Your guys’ dynamic is so entertaining :)
