  • Paris is one of the most visited cities on the planet, and also can be very expensive.

  • But in today's video, I wanted to share how you can experience an incredible day all with a budget of $100.

  • So the first thing we need to do here in Paris is get a croissant.

  • I have been here to Paris many times and have tried croissant places all throughout this city.

  • And today, I'm going to show you guys one of the best ones.

  • And one of the main reasons why I keep coming back here to Paris is because two of my best friends in the world live here.

  • So we have Lucille and Bobby, who are locals here in Paris, and this croissant place is one of the best in the city.

  • It's my fave.

  • It's my fave croissant of all of Paris.

  • It's Lucille approved.

  • So let's go to this boulangerie.

  • I feel like I'm always saying lingerie, but boulangerie.

  • So this place is called Boulangerie Lyonnais.

  • Did I say that correctly?

  • That's it.

  • Yeah.

  • Lucille's been helping me out a lot with my French.

  • Oh, you're doing great.

  • Merci beaucoup.

  • So this place has one of the most handsome croissants I've ever seen.

  • All right, let's do the poll.

  • That was one of the best polls ever.

  • Wow.

  • And they're made fresh this morning because they make it every morning.

  • So that's how you get the boulangerie?

  • Yeah, of course.

  • All right, let's give this a bite, guys.

  • Oh, isn't it the best?

  • Wow.

  • Pro tip.

  • If you're coming here to Paris, come early in the morning and get your croissants.

  • And also for four bucks, we got that croissant.

  • Also this one right here.

  • It almost feels like a combination between a cookie and a croissant.

  • This is my fave.

  • It's so good.

  • Yeah, they put me on game to this and I thank you every day for it.

  • So what is the name of that?

  • So it's called chocolatine aux amandes.

  • So it would translate to a chocolate croissant with almonds in it.

  • So, so good.

  • You have to try it.

  • All right.

  • Bon appĂ©tit, guys.

  • Bon appĂ©tit.

  • Bon appĂ©tit.

  • We got our own.

  • Look at those things.

  • Oh my god.

  • Guys, that is incredible.

  • Wow.

  • Mmm.

  • So you get some chocolate right here.

  • Yeah, you got it.

  • Yeah.

  • All right.

  • Thanks, Bob.

  • So after you get your croissants, I highly recommend coming here to this cafe at the Museum of Romantic Life.

  • Lucille, would you say that this place is mostly for tourists or do locals also like to hang out here as well?

  • Yeah, locals also like to hang out here as well.

  • It's so cute.

  • Like look around you.

  • It's like the perfect place to post up for a whole afternoon and just enjoy life.

  • Would you say this place though is for pigeons?

  • I would say it's not for pigeons.

  • For pigeons.

  • Yeah.

  • The last thing you want to do here in Paris is be a pigeon.

  • My new favorite word here in Paris.

  • Don't be a pigeon.

  • Just don't.

  • Museum of Romantic Life.

  • Museum of Romantic Life.

  • Museum of Romantic Life.

  • Museum of Romantic Life.

  • Museum of Romantic Life.

  • Museum of Romantic Life.

  • Museum of Romantic Life.

  • Museum of Romantic Life.

  • Now with getting around here in Paris, you can take the metro, which is great and affordable, but my favorite way is taking a Lime bike.

  • Lime and Uber do have a partnership, so you can go straight into your Uber app and unlock a bike from there.

  • Best way to see Paris.

  • So something that I have observed about here in Paris is that they do have street lights on busy streets, but they don't have stop signs.

  • So this guy is like a big freak for a moment.

  • I'm a fan.

  • So the thing we are about to do next is something I have not done yet here in Paris, which is to explore the catacombs.

  • The catacombs is essentially these underground tunnels that go all throughout and under Paris.

  • It is about 30 US dollars, so let's see if this is worth it.

  • Alright, so we are officially going down below the streets of Paris.

  • So included with my $30 entrance fee, I also got this audio guide, which just informed me that we are currently 20 meters below street level.

  • So below the sewer systems and even the metro.

  • Let's check this place out.

  • So this is a self-guided tour, and I've been walking for about 10 minutes just by myself through these catacomb underground tunnels.

  • Not going to lie, a little bit creepy.

  • So the audio book told me how the catacombs were used back in the day when a lot of houses in Paris were collapsing to monitor, to make sure that everything was safe.

  • And man, I just really can't believe that you can come out here, explore this all by yourself, take your sweet time, listen to your audio guide, and just explore this place.

  • This is how all experiences in cities should be.

  • So I just entered where they have millions of people buried.

  • So back hundreds of years ago, only the wealthy were able to be buried in graveyards.

  • So they put millions of people here in Paris in the catacombs.

  • There is something oddly peaceful about being down here.

  • I guess it's due to the fact that none of these guys are going to try talking to you.

  • So like I said, I have never done that catacombs experience before, and I was a little bit nervous if it was going to be worth it, since it is nearly a third of our entire budget for this video.

  • But, I gotta say, that was one of the coolest experiences I've gotten to do while traveling.

  • Since there's so much history, there has a lot to do with the culture there, and it's just overall a really cool experience.

  • So besides the catacombs, another reason why Paris is so great to travel is for the art and the museums.

  • I mean, the Louvre is the most visited museum in the world for a reason.

  • And a lot of the wealthy French know how good of an investment art can be and a store of value.

  • And typically, to be able to invest in blue chip art pieces, you had to be a billionaire.

  • But now, all of us can, thanks to today's sponsor of Masterworks.

  • Even some of the largest banks in the world have shared how art can be a good investment to hedge inflation, which has recently been getting kind of out of hand.

  • And Masterworks gives you the chance to invest in multi-million dollar art paintings from artists like Banksy, Basquiat, and more.

  • Thank you, Masterworks, for sponsoring this video.

  • Now back to Paris.

  • So now for lunch, we are about to show you guys a must-try spot here in Paris.

  • It's kind of like a French version of an American diner, but great prices.

  • So the name of this place is Bouillon Chautier.

  • It's super grand, it's almost like you're inside of an opera house and traditional French architecture.

  • And why we came here is because this is where you get traditional food, but also for a great price.

  • You can get a whole three-course meal for like 12 euro.

  • Man, I'm excited for this meal.

  • So I was just informed that this place, which is a bouillon, is known for being a quick place to get a bite to eat.

  • And they literally brought the food out within five minutes.

  • And look how fresh this is.

  • I went with the chicken and some french fries.

  • That's what you need to do in France.

  • So I went with a pretty classic dish, but Lucille over here went with the pig's foot.

  • Is that normal here in France?

  • It's normal.

  • Do you guys have feet fetishes?

  • Always.

  • Alright, let's give it a try.

  • Do you want to see the pig's foot?

  • Do you want to have some?

  • I would love to try some pig's feet.

  • That looks like a good pig's foot.

  • Yeah, look at this.

  • Yum.

  • It's very good.

  • Alright.

  • I'm going to give it a try.

  • Yeah, have some.

  • My first pig's foot.

  • It's good.

  • Good?

  • It's really good.

  • First time trying pig's feet.

  • Bon appĂ©tit.

  • It's pretty good.

  • I like the outside of it and how they cooked it.

  • Yeah.

  • The inside was very tender and interesting.

  • Yeah.

  • Overall, pretty good.

  • Oh my gosh.

  • How are you liking the pig's foot, Bob?

  • It's delicious.

  • It's good for you, according to Lucille.

  • It is good for you.

  • Good?

  • Yeah, I guess that does look kind of appetizing.

  • Oh my gosh.

  • So this restaurant is from 1896 and I love how they still keep it old school and write your bill on the table.

  • I really love that.
