Paris. Oh la la. If there’s one city that everyone knows, it’s this one. And with the Olympics being held here in 2024, a city normally swarming with tourists…had less of them? Lately Paris has been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: protests, riots, migrants, rising crime and homelessness. It’s one of the few places in Europe with “no go zones”, places where drug dealers and thieves have taken over entire housing complexes. And nowhere was more infamous than Saint-Denis, a “suburb” many Parisians wouldn’t dare visit.
So France had decided to turn their capital and suburbs into a police state in order to safely hold the Olympics. They’ve been so brazen recently that they even arrested the founder of Telegram. This was definitely a weird time to visit. But that’s what I specialize in.

I bet the Nutella served in Europe is natural unlike the Nutella sold in America. usually Europe doesn't allow the poisonous chemicals to be considered food, but in America, the market is a bit different.
It still smells like shit. It’s still
Full of shit. It’s one of the dirtiest cities I’ve ever seen and one of the most dangerous.
Paris is weird bro
Soyez toujours fier de vos colonies
8:51 The French would likely scorn someone eating something like that on the move, like it was a hotdog in America. An insult, really. But that's tourists for you
The ad was filmed in my beautiful country the Netherlands! I wonder if that’s you’re next destination! 🤪👌🏻 edit: could you please upload in 4K? 🙏
Look who they're bringing in, it's necessary now. That's the elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about because they're afraid of being canceled or branded a racist. Total BS.
love your video's BUT do you not like us English Tommy?
@2:04 I thought that was Lenny Kravitz at first😮
1:20 25 years ago I had the same exact experience in Paris: everyone told me they would be rude, and shitty to people who tried to attempt French. Well, everyone *I* met was awesome, polite, helpfully corrected my enunciation, bummed me smokes on the street… I have nothing but incredible memories of Paris and the Parisian French 🥰
Bro its not a police state. They are a hosting the olympics. Way over sensationalizing.
Integration cannot be successfully achieved on a foundation of colonialism. And For that reason France's evolution has been profoundly shaped by the legacy of its colonial past.
But the middle eastern barbarians are immune to the police…
I turn off as soon as he tries to get people to sign up to the sim card, because he does not mention, which is legal now a days, that he will get commission from you when you pay
You went at a bad time… .
Thats one reason I don't like it….today and their police state ain't working curbing much terrorist attacks
Gee….. like 150 bucks for 1 month of internet for Madagascar, expensive….better buy it here
I love this vlog because, unlike most youtubers who only show us one side of Paris. We at least get to see a regular side. 😊
13:30 .. $H!T on the sidewalk. .. That's what I saw in Paris.
$H!T town = Paris.
I hate Paris and I hate the Olympics.
Why would anybody go there ??
Pretty sure they took the wheels off so they WOULDN'T get stolen. A good wheelset can be way more than the bike. And easy to store in your work space.
