Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | Packing the best of Paris into one episode, we scale the Eiffel Tower, bask in medieval majesty at Notre-Dame Cathedral, stroll Montmartre and its Sacré Cœur church, study the Latin Quarter, remember the Revolution at Place de la Concorde, saunter the Champs-Elysées, get impressed by the Orsay Museum, bone up on Paris's past at the Carnavalet Museum - and in the catacombs, and sample the artistic high life at the Jacquemart-André Museum. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #paris

True story: many years ago my wife and I were eating at one of the Paris restaurants recommended by his guide book. There was an older couple next to us with Rick Steeves guide book in hand. I joked to my wife that the place must make a healthy living from Steeve's customers and that Rick had probably never set foot in the place. literally 2 minutes later in walks Rick and his entourage.

Gail Owens Yes but some of these shows are really old and this episode is from 14 almost 15 years ago.. some parts of Paris have changed a lot since then and some of the Subways have become dangerous because of robberies and near abductions. There's other stuff going on there with people from countries that really hate the West

It's a very different Paris now........ It turns out my wife and I (plus a 14 month old son and ~ 4yr old daughter) were fortunate to have taken our 10 day trip of a lifetime to Paris when we did (mid May 1999). It was perfect! No rain, warm, no mosquitoes and it was the Paris of glory and charm one dreams of. We were so lucky. Rick Steves videos were our gift from the gods. We also studied the many guide books. We rented an apartment in the 11th Arrondissement, shopped in neighborhood stores, had jambonne and fromage (inexpensive) on the streets, enjoyed cafe's on the avenues and hidden outdoor restaurants and on and on. We saw much of what was presented in this video. We has one scary experience as we were preparing to get some real French pastry from an local urban patisserie. We were standing in line trying to absorb the culinary nirvana of choices flooding our eyes and brains when..... It was the "Soup Nazi" scene right out of Seinfeld! No asking of questions! State what you want and step to the register! Apparently this was a very popular place with a long line of Parisians wanting their goodies. We were lucky to get out of there alive escaping the dreaded "no croissants for you"! We loved that Paris!!!

@Piatequila Not comparable sorry as Paris is the freaking capital of France and a busy busy city host of 6 million employees and countless of Fortune 500 companies. It's funny to me how New York's reputation of being fast, loud and brash has been accepted by everyone yet everybody complain about Paris.Double standards much? The truth is that foreigners have an incredibly dated and idealized vision of what France is today

Most marvelous week of my life. We walked for hours, railed to Auvers sur Oise to see Van Gogh's and brother Theo's graves, railed to Rouen to spend day, visited Musee d'Orsay, d'Orangerie, le Louvre, etc. Wonderful!!

They taught us how to be a good, respectful, smart and kind tourist which made the trip the most amazingly fun and brilliant one ever! We all loved Paris very much; kind, friendly people, great food, art and music. On one later trip around Notre Dame we saw 5 great music groups in 2 hours. It was magic and Rick and our guides opened the doors for us. We've been back 3 times. THANK YOU!
