It is really good business, just not always great for the city. Makes it a lot harder to find places to live in a city that is already difficult for that. Air BnB is definitely a better experience than most hotels though for sure.

Hello Jay, I'm French and I've been following you for a little while now (I also follow you from my other channel "Lets Chill Page" and I react to notifications from one or the other channel, and therefore under the one or the other nickname). Because I'm Parisian by birth and I've lived most of my life in the Paris region (I lived 05 minutes by bus from Porte de Choisy in the south of Paris). Today I live in Perpignan. So your videos allow me to take a little tour of Paris and take a walk with you, as I did at the time with my friends. It's nice to see these places so familiar to me again. Thanks for that. But I just discovered this video about your first impressions of living in France and more particularly in Paris. It gave me an idea. It would be nice if you made a video on your impressions (good and bad) today of what you thought you'd find here when you made this video in 2017. But also, If you listen to some more French music now, if you watch TV in French. Which French shows and films do you like or not and why. What has changed in your vision of Paris or of France and the French in general, on our culture too (which must undoubtedly sometimes annoy you lol). How it changed in your character or your way of thinking. What does it do to you now when you go back to your country. What you like to find again there. But also, what may now appear to you as excessive, whether on the French side or in your own country. Thanks. Friendly,

I am glad that Parisians are mostly nice with you. It used to be quite different in Paris years ago when my American friends were coming to visit me, it was horrible! With Macron as President it should make the things smoother. I escaped France to move to L.A. The situation is still complicated for me but I have no regret. I love L.A.

They're pretty nice up front as well for the most part in my experience - it helps if you speak French of course, but people here tend to be friendly and helpful by and large. But like anywhere, they have their jerks as well. Hope you can figure it out and land somewhere you'd enjoy more!

France is a beautiful place, it truly is, as a Dutchman from the Netherlands who is living in Amsterdam, I have been there many times. But one thing I truly hate about that country, is the people! Good grieves do I despise the French, they're very ignorant, annoying and think they're better than everyone else. Not all French are like this though, afterall, I have some French people in my family, they're nice. But, once again, it's a beautiful country, but the people, man man do I get angry there, and let me tell you one thing, as a guy from Amsterdam, I never get mad. I will never be able to live in France, LOL.
