  • Welcome to Paris.

  • Paris is one of those cities

  • that everyone talks about.

  • Even though we had been before,

  • we couldn't wait to visit again.

  • From Lisbon to Paris,

  • it was only 2 and a half hours by plane.

  • Once in Paris,

  • it takes 50 minutes by train

  • to get to the city centre.

  • We just arrived in our apartment in Paris,

  • again it's an AirBnb apartment.

  • This is through the front door.

  • There's a little kitchenette here.

  • Pretty good kitchen.

  • Fridge, oven, stovetop...

  • microwave

  • and then over here we have a wardrobe

  • with like towels and stuff for you to use.

  • This is a sofa bed, which we already folded out already

  • and over here we have a TV and telephone.

  • One thing about this room is we don't have any aircon

  • even though it's really hot in summer at the moment. A: Boooo!

  • But, we do have a fan. A: Yay!

  • and if you came in winter, you can see behind the fan there's like a heater

  • on two sides of the window

  • A: Double Yay!

  • I guess it'll be good in winter.

  • Ummm, see the shutters...because we're actually on street level.

  • So as soon as you open those shutters you're gonna see people walking past the street

  • A: Oh my goodness! W: and traffic driving past.

  • It's pretty noisy...and not that great.

  • But, umm...

  • we haven't closed the windows yet, so we don't know if that actually blocks out a lot of the noise.

  • We're hoping so.

  • It looks double glazed.

  • This is the double bed.

  • And then if you walk through here,

  • there's the bathroom.

  • There's like a washing machine,

  • and there's a shower, toilet as usual.

  • So the shower looks pretty decent.

  • One thing about this place is, there is a washing machine, but they don't actually provide you with any laundry detergent.

  • And the lady had actually told us to go to the supermarket and buy our own laundry detergent

  • even though we're only here for two nights

  • which is kind of a bit...

  • ...silly...but oh well.

  • The first time we were in Paris,

  • we didn't have enough time to check out the Montmartre area.

  • So this time around,

  • that was the first place we went to.

  • When in Montmartre, you must visit the Basilica of the Sacre Couer.

  • An easy way to get up, is via the cable car.

  • And once you're on top of the hill,

  • you'll be greeted with this amazing view.

  • Currently outside the Sacre Couer, and I am a total mess.

  • It's so hot here!

  • it's like 34 degrees I think today

  • and they were saying it's the hottest it's been so far this summer.

  • And we rushed off the plane,

  • and got into our apartment,

  • and then had to try and figure out the metro station

  • and then had to come all the way here.

  • It's a long way.

  • But uh...

  • I guess it was worth it. It was a very nice basilica.

  • And uh...the views were amazing.

  • There's a lot of people and look how sunny it is right now.

  • I'm getting burnt here!

  • And now we're just trying to find our way to dinner

  • we booked...we made a reservation at the restaurant for dinner.

  • And hopefully it's going to be...

  • good.

  • If not, oh my god!

  • I'm gonna die!

  • Montmartre is a beautiful district in Paris

  • filled with winding cobblestone streets

  • that are perfect for wandering.

  • But be warned,

  • as it is located on top of a hill

  • you'll find there are a lot of stairs.

  • This is the restaurant!

  • Look at this, look how good this food is here.

  • So this one is the grilled salmon steak

  • A: half cooked W: and uh...half cooked

  • and it looks like it's some kind of a garlic sauce, is it?

  • and it comes with rice and veggies

  • and look how delicious that looks!

  • Anton's already digging into it

  • with bread. Everything here in Paris comes with complimentary bread

  • so you can dip it into whatever sauce you have

  • and just go for it. A: mmm, it's so good!

  • A: I'm already happy.

  • Over here, we have our...

  • what is it? rabbit?

  • rabbit...uh...leg...

  • so again, it comes with some vegetables...and some...

  • wedges. It's really good.

  • A: Do you see the garlic cloves there?

  • Oh yeh, the garlic cloves! I didn't even notice these are garlic cloves.

  • A: mmm, and a bit of pepper.

  • A: Looks great! W: Yum!

  • Can't wait to dig into that.

  • and then over here we have umm...escargot...

  • or snails.

  • A: So see the pastry? W: and it's got a bit of pastry.

  • Oooo Yum! Look at that!

  • A: So this is actually an appetiser size.

  • The other two were mains.

  • Yep, so this is an appetiser,

  • A: or starter. W: so we decided to get two appetisers and make it a meal.

  • A: Cos that's me!

  • W: That's frog's legs there. A: Oh, look at that!

  • W: Fried...deep fried.

  • A: Oh sorry, wrong side.

  • There you go...

  • It has a bit of bacon in here

  • bit of croutons.

  • So, it's the frogs legs.

  • A: mmm...bit of bacon.

  • Is it salty? Is it just right?

  • A: Nice and savoury. Crunchy.

  • Frogs legs are...

  • nice and crunchy on the outside

  • really soft on the inside

  • W: Does it taste like chicken drumsticks, like mini ones?

  • Actually, you know, the funny thing is, I've had them in Asia before,

  • and the way the French do it, is slightly different.

  • in Asia they really do deep fry a lot

  • and umm...you get this fried chicken sort of taste.

  • But here it's really nice and soft

  • so you get this nice crunchy coating

  • but it's actually quite soft.

  • So they put bacon and nice herbs through it too.

  • We had so much fun exploring Montmartre.

  • Join us next week to see the rest of Paris.
