Paris' 8th Arrondissement - 20 in 20 Day 8 - Le Village Royal, Champs Elysees, and Parc Monceau

Paris' 8th Arrondissement is filled with beautiful places, but not much in the way of food that I would recommend. That's not to say you can't find some great stuff there though, so don't worry! Grab my guide to Paris here: https://go.parisinmypocket.com/20in20 for all the ideas you might need and more while visiting Paris. Help me make better videos at   / jayswanson   and then find me on the internet in all of the usual spots: This was my first time visiting Madeline and St Augustine, as well as le Village Royal (which is where the colorful umbrellas are located) in Paris' 8th arrondissement. Concorde and the Champs Elysees are usually much more accessible, along with the Arc de Triomphe.

(The FTC wants me to tell you that up front) FAQ: How long have you lived in France? On and off for over two years. What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS You're always talking about living on some ship. WHAT SHIP? - I made a "Draw My Life" video that explains a lot here:    • Draw My Life   Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing). What do you film with? - I've made a lot of changes recently, but I try to keep my gear list up to date if you want to see what I use and buy some for yourself: http://bit.ly/JaysGearList What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school. Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do. Why are you living in #Paris? - Because I've always wanted to; I feel at home here:    • Why I Want to Live in France   Do you speak French? Oui.    • Un Jour en Francais (English Subtitles)   You talk a lot about the books you're working on, what are they about? - They're sci-fi (and fantasy) and I've got a decent pitch for you here:    • The Pitch (Sorta) - Agnar's Box and Courie...   Do you make money off YouTube? - Ha, no. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly. I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - The easiest and best way to support me is through Patreon, where you can pitch in as little as $1/mo to help me make better videos:   / jayswanson   I don't trust this Patreon thing - can I just paypal you? - Here's my ko-fi if that's your thing (and coffee is your game): https://ko-fi.com/jayswanson But I want to send you something tangible! - I do have a wishlist on Amazon, though it's a bit complicated with the international shipping situation. This is the US one: http://amzn.to/2ykS9Ux And here's the French wishlist: http://bit.ly/JaysFrenchWishList Thanks for watching!
