In this video, we cross Paris to see what is going on with the Olympics with ‪@brettconti‬ and ‪@LivingBobby‬! I'll update you on the last minute Olympic makeover of Paris, on whether or not we will be able to swim in the Seine river, and on what locals truly think of the games. Also, I'm sharing my best tips (the ones I'll personally apply) if you're coming to Paris during the Olympics.

    Thank you for this video. I will be visiting next month so this is helpful!
  • I got out of Paris 2 weeks ago, thank gawd. was a great visit. but, it felt like the lull before the storm. ....and you, Persians run for cover at the sight of a single drop of rain. it's not raining for you whole bike ride when all footage shows dry streets. lol

    We were in Paris for the week of June 16th. Beautiful city! My boys loved seeing the Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower.
  • Hello, I'll be there on the closing day morning. Hopefully movement will be better. Thank you for the information.
  • I really like your enthusiasm but Paris is a disaster and I still don't understand how they chose it to host the Olympics when there are so many better and more prepared cities that could host them (I think the same about the next edition which is in Los Angeles, another disaster of city), the pollution of the air and the river, the garbage in the streets, the crime rate is scandalous, the homeless, the insecurity that exists and I don't understand why they haven't fought against this much before (simply answer, they don't care) and what about the 4 euros per ticket (like WTF???), everything is selling smoke and it's a shame that a city like Paris is so destroyed and that instead of being fine all the time for a long time it's only fine for three weeks and then what? I want to see the number of cases of pickpockets that there'll be and I hope you talk about not only the good but also the bad things that happened after this event.

    Evening Lucile how are you? I can't imagine how hectic Paris is going be during these days during the Olympics this year! Love watching your videos about Paris the city of Love & thanks for giving advice here! ❤

    The Olympic Triathlon starts and ends on Pont Alexandre lll but there's definitely no swimming in the 42.195klm Marathon which concludes at Les Invalides. I've loved watching every one of your vlogs Lucile as we arrive in Paris for 3 nights on 30th July. We've not been to Paris since 2007 although we've travelled to Europe every year since 2017 (except covid years) and are quite excited to visit my favourite city in the world although I can't believe the cost of our hotel accommodation this time. In 2007 we stayed at Hotel du Louvre and this time at a boutique Hotel Le Littre. Keep up your excellent work!!

    We need a collab video between Bobby, Lucile and Brett 😍
  • @joemark1154
    Subscribed ! Please do cover more around the Paris games. Really interested to see from a locals perspective. Thank you for sharing. Merci Beaucoup 😊
  • Bonjour and good afternoon! Samantha and I love your videos. We will be in Paris for the Olympics from 7/28 - 8/11. We will use your spectacular advice to the fullest!!
  • @aliancemd
    Look on the bright side: 15 million people bringing income they made in another country to be spent in Paris, is going to be good for the local economy.
  • @NoobGod41
    I am going to Paris in 9 days I am so excited to go!
