Done! Seven days, seven live videos, seven wonders of Paris. Was a real treat to finish at the Eiffel Tower for a really spectacular sunrise. What a wonderful city Paris can be. Thanks to today’s guest @aprilinparistours, to all my guests this week, and all you YouTube viewers who came along for the ride. Now, a much needed rest for me :) See you again soon. That was a fun one! Live music from my favorite Paris band, @slimandthebeast, while strolling along the Canal Saint Martin. We talked about Amelie, graffiti, French terraces - and the band played three songs. Go check it out - and what a beautiful day!! Last show tomorrow at sunrise (8am) at the Eiffel Tower. It’s a magnificent day in Paris and I was lucky enough to be filming in Versailles. I was cycling through the gardens with Christian from @bikeabouttours and with @parisianpostcards in hot pursuit. It was like a scene from the Sound of Music (not to mention the Marie Antoinette/Austria connection). Anyway, the trip was streamed live on YouTube and you can watch the replay via the link in my bio. Another video tomorrow at the canal, then sunrise on Sunday at the Eiffel Tower. Can’t wait!
