00:00Hi everyone. She's Ashley Park. And she's Lily Collins. And here are some of the
00:04things that we love about Paris.
00:11Paris is a great food city. And here are some famous foods they're known for.
00:15The croissant. It's really the go-to in Paris. It really is and I feel like
00:20they have the perfect, well let me just tear this one apart. Listen to it, listen to it, listen to it.
00:25It's a little stiff. I could hear some crunching. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a little stiff. I could definitely hear some crunching.
00:32I'm always the kind of person who likes to take out the center of the croissant. Do you put jam in it?
00:36Do you? Yeah, I used to put like some jam or like honey so that there's like a little bit of filling in there.
00:42Which is pretty baller. But also with this, dipping it in like a hot beverage is really nice.
00:47Wait, what? All these ways to eat a croissant? I just grab it and go.
00:52You take a little bit of it and you dip it in like coffee. It kind of like soaks it up a little bit.
00:56And then there's like that hard like texture to the croissant. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:01Then it gets soft. And these are macaroons. Which are also. Is it macaroon? Macaroon. Or macaroon?
01:08There's a real, a real like skill to making macaroons. Because we did a class using one and we like made them.
01:15They, I have to say, did not look that pretty though. No, but I think we tried to make it.
01:19Didn't we like put little designs on it to try to hide the fact that they weren't really there? We did.
01:23These are really big. And the fun thing about macaroons is they're gluten free. What?
01:28They are. No? Right? Yeah, they're gluten free. I did not know that they were gluten free.
01:34Well, this is great. We made like pistachio, rose, chocolate, vanilla. We love the rose flavor.
01:39It was one of our first bonding experiences, I think, in the show.
01:42And honestly, we took them to set the next day and no one believed us that we made them.
01:45I know. But we had proof. We had picture proof. We do have pictures.
01:48What was it? Airbnb experiences. We did a lot of those season one. We did actually, yeah.
01:52And this is a French 75, which is a famous French drink.
01:56And the ingredients are gin, simple syrup, lemon, and champagne.
02:09She knows what I know, but I'm pretending like I do.
02:13Honestly, these actually do have alcohol in it.
02:15Oh, it has like the lemon pulp in it. This feels very...
02:17This smells like this will be a fun time if we part...
02:20Oh my gosh. We're going to have fun.
02:22We're so Parisian.
02:25Okay, on to the next thing.
02:27There are a lot of cool things to see in Paris.
02:29So we are going to talk about some of our favorites.
02:32So here, as you can see, we have a lovely map of the city.
02:36This is the Seine running right down there.
02:39Nice, nice. Yeah, see that I knew.
02:42Here is Luxembourg Gardens.
02:44Love walking our dog right in here.
02:48It's a beautiful area of town.
02:49Actually, Emily's apartment is right there.
02:52Wait.
02:53The apartment is right there by the Pantheon. Yeah.
02:55That's right.
02:56You and I, we walked a lot around the Tuileries and stuff.
02:59What?
03:00It's just funny.
03:01I know.
03:02The Tuileries.
03:03The Tuileries.
03:04She loves the Tuileries.
03:06Yeah, and also, where is it?
03:08We like to walk around.
03:09The museum.
03:10Oh, Orsay?
03:11The Louvre right there.
03:12Well, yeah, the Dorcay, but the Louvre right here is where we've taken many funny photos just wandering around.
03:18It's true.
03:19Well, we love being in the Marais and the Canal Saint-Martin.
03:22There's a lot of good shopping around here.
03:23Canal Saint-Martin is amazing.
03:24Parc de Bouchamont.
03:25Bouchamont.
03:26What did you call me?
03:27Parc de Bouchamont.
03:31That is the most stunning park.
03:33It's the most beautiful view of the city.
03:35Love that.
03:36Except also Sacré-Cœur, which is also so amazing, which, why could I not find it?
03:43We are not close.
03:45Also, the Picasso Museum is amazing.
03:47Yes, yes, yes.
03:48That's terrible.
03:49There's a lot of cool pop-up museums and galleries and stuff in the Marais area.
03:53Let's not sleep on the old Eiffel Tower.
03:55Let's not sleep on her.
03:56Let's not sleep on that.
03:57She would not be thrilled.
03:58You can kind of see her from all over the city, which is great.
04:01And moving right along.
04:03Croatians have a lot of their own lingo that you should know, and here are some of them.
04:06Buffet means to eat.
04:08Is that where buffet comes from?
04:09Is it manger?
04:10Oh, maybe it is.
04:11Buffet.
04:13Well, we're going to go buffet later.
04:16Yeah, so to eat.
04:18I didn't know that.
04:19Like, it's just a mech.
04:20A guy.
04:21A guy.
04:22A dude.
04:23Yeah.
04:24A fellow.
04:25Yeah.
04:26Un bordel is like a mess, chaos.
04:27Un bordel.
04:28Yeah, there's a lot of mess or chaos in this show, I would say.
04:30Yeah.
04:31Maybe like, uh, les bordels.
04:33Yeah.
04:34Yeah.
04:35Because it's like a lot of mess.
04:36A lot.
04:37Mm-hmm.
04:38Chouette.
04:39Chouette is like, cool, neat.
04:40She's chouette.
04:41Un mec est chouette.
04:43The guy is so cool.
04:45He's going to buffet later.
04:48These are some Paris landmarks.
04:50If we like it, we're going to tell you why we like it.
04:52And if we don't like it, then we're going to hit this.
04:54Bloop.
04:55Oh, it's the Eiffel Tower.
04:57I mean, for sure.
04:59Obviously.
05:00I will say going to the top is like pretty cool.
05:02Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:03The view is amazing.
05:04I don't think I've been to the top, because you filmed up there.
05:06Yeah.
05:07To the restaurant on top.
05:08Yeah, it's a sight to see.
05:10I've been in like the middle part, and it's a fun way to get up there.
05:13But also the park in front of it's really nice to like have a picnic at.
05:16That's a definite go-to.
05:18Yeah.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Next one.
05:21Ooh.
05:22Notre Dame.
05:23I mean, it's so beautiful at night.
05:25But yes, of course you have to go see that.
05:27Totally.
05:28Isn't that the aisle?
05:29Oh, yeah, in the middle.
05:30In the middle of the sun, which is beautiful.
05:32It's so beautiful.
05:33What I would suggest not to do if you go there is don't go scooter with your friend there,
05:39because we filmed a scene there scootering.
05:41And I fell.
05:42It was a...
05:43Oh, I just wanted to hit it.
05:45Don't do that.
05:46But definitely go to that.
05:47But definitely go to that, yeah.
05:49Arc de Triomphe.
05:50Oh, Arc de Triomphe.
05:52I'm going to say yes.
05:53Yes.
05:54We lived near there last season.
05:55Yeah.
05:56You've got to go see that.
05:57It's crazy that there's bikers like that.
05:58I've never seen the bikers there.
06:00Ooh, the Pyramid of the Louvre.
06:03Yes.
06:04I mean, you can't miss that.
06:05And it's so nice.
06:06This especially is nice to walk around at night.
06:08At night, yeah.
06:09I mean, it does get a little crowded, but I would still wait in line.
06:12Yeah.
06:13Ooh, Moulin Rouge.
06:15Moulin Rouge.
06:16I actually haven't been, but I've been to Crazy Horse many, many times, like the best
06:21burlesque club.
06:22Yeah.
06:23But I would definitely go maybe.
06:24I want to go.
06:25I haven't been either.
06:26So we should probably go next season.
06:27So we're not going to be there.
06:28We're not going to be, but we should probably go.
06:30Yeah.
06:31We filmed outside of it, actually.
06:32Oh, yeah, we did.
06:34Ooh, that's, oh.
06:36I'm forgetting the name of it, but it's the very famous cemetery.
06:40What?
06:41It's a cemetery.
06:42No, no, no, no.
06:44It's very cool.
06:46It's beautiful.
06:47In terms of cemeteries, this is like.
06:49It's a stunning.
06:50Are you talking about the cave stuff with the skulls?
06:52No.
06:53Absolutely not.
06:54Absolutely.
06:55Going there.
06:56Absolutely, you should visit.
06:57Don't listen to Ashley Park.
06:58Fun fact, we actually really liked all of these places and pretty much suggest that you go
07:02to all of them.
07:03So, yeah.
07:04In conclusion, just visit Paris.
07:05Visit Paris and make sure you have plenty of days to see everything.
07:08While she's still Ashley Park.
07:09And she's still Lily Collins.
07:11We hope you guys enjoyed all of our places in Paris and get to visit them soon.
