Paris is a world-class city — but also one that to millions is simply home. On this adventure, we’re going local. We start at the city’s proud symbol, the Eiffel Tower, then cruise the Seine before exploring a few distinctive neighborhoods. We visit the market for fresh food and flowers, window-shop along trendy streets, and cap our tour with a nighttime ride through the sparkling City of Light. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #paris

The real charm of Paris often seems to live between the landmarks – in the neighborhoods, markets, and ordinary moments.
People are used to call. Eiffel tower ,beautiful , but ,,,,it’s not !!!
I'm surprised that the prices at Rue Cler Market seem quite reasonable. But I hear that a Cappuccino is €10 at Champs d'Elysee, though.
We always stayed on Île Saint-Louis.
Wow is this a recent new video? ❤
Although a bit romantised, it also kind of is like this, just got to ignore the big city noise and scammers near the tourist sites.
Chapter headings would be really helpful
HECK YEAH! Rick uploaded a new episode!!!
I really really enjoyed this ☺️ 👌
I used to watch all hjs European videos until he came out as a Trump hating partisan Democrat. Now I watch occasionally. Stick to tourism, not politics.
Thank you Rick! Great timing… my husband and I are taking a Viking River Cruise beginning May 1st from Zurich to Trier, and then onto Paris where we will spend 5 days.
I live in London and very lucky that Paris is only a 2 hour train ride away !
Rick Steves has the ultimate dream job.
PARISIS the city consagrated to Isis (Isiah), Duke. Phoenicians went there in the 2nd millenium bc. Nowadays is another example of the purity of the tartar oligarchy.
Rick Steves!!!
That was so enjoyable and entertaining. Merci beacoup!
We watched Rick Steves in my college Italian class my freshman year in 1992. This guy doesnt age.
So awesome!!!! Thanks Rick!😊

You should go to China. Europe is too boring
Thankyou so much for contact I AM WITH YOU

Парижане делают то. что им нравится. а не мигрантам или туристам.

This was a very happy surprise to get another great RS visit to Paris. Beautiful and thanks for continuing to bring us your great perspectives.
The Eiffel Tower. “Near and dear to the Parisians?” The Parisians hate it, I can assure you. Sort of like saying “Times Square is near and dear to New Yorkers.” Yeah, right. Learnt, this is not serious stuff, great for selling mass tourism
Thank you for calling Paris correctly, City of Light, not lights. That way it includes the enlightenment vibe.
A tour (á la tour) to be enjoyed. I stayed on La Rue des Martyrs near Notre Dame de Loret and walked up the slope across Bvd Clichy and up the steps to Sacre Coeur. Wonderful sights of the Marais and Montmarte.Merci Steve et à bientôt.
This is deeply appreciated
Paris is great, but the last time we went, we tried SO hard not to be standard “ugly Americans” and it didn’t help. We toned down the sportswear, kept our voices low, made sure we said, “Bonjour/S’il vous plait/Merci,” approached the locals gingerly and weren’t grabby or pushy.
Alas, the coldness went well beyond mere formality. They’re a tough crowd.
It's a great city. I've only visited two times and I'm looking forward to going again.
