==== ABOUT LES FRENCHIES ====
After 32 years in the US, the Duponts moved to France where Antoine was born. Antoine is rediscovering his homeland and sharing it with his American wife Colleen. With the help of his brother Vincent, a renowned Restaurateur (and food snob).

They are on a quest to find the best France has to offer.

There are over 35,000 villages in France, all with their own history, culture, and food. We are on a journey to discover as many of them as we can together. Let’s go.

  1. Do people really go on picnics ? I’m too uptight for public displays of affection so I’ll have to live life from a distance.

  2. @lexilivgrowingupvideos1191 November 20, 2024 at 12:29 pm

    Merci for all your videos! Such a life saver! I would like to ask, can we still bring wine and drink it at champ de mars 5pm onwards for picnic? Merci!

  3. Do you not wash the fruit before eating it? Do all the markets and stores sell pre-washed produce?

  4. Knives?… I’m made to understand that so much as a wee Opinel or Victorinox knife is illegal… do you ever worry about carrying one? Certainly could be a hiccup if the picnic is sandwiched between touristic venues with security.

  5. Love your videos. We will be in paris in August. They have helped a lot. Especially with metro. Last time we were in London we tried the underground transportation. Totally confusing to us. We ended up doing taxis and ubers.

  6. This is the first thing in our itinerary when we arrive in Paris, buy food at Rue Cler, sit on the grass at Champ de Mars and marvel at the Eiffel while pinching my self the whole time so I know it’s real. 😍😍😍

  7. THIS. Is what I want to do in Paris.

  8. I just want to say thank you very much for these very informative videos. Me and my husband are going to Paris for the first time in late November and we’re wondering, will a picnic outside still possible or is it usually too cold at that time? Love u guys! Keep on being adorable.

  9. Such a lovely time, and wonderful that there are so many places to picnic around Paris. Almost $50 bucks for a picnic – you could probably have done it for less, but the food is superb I’m sure and is really the main event. It’s also nice that they allow the consumption of alcohol in these parks, unlike in the U.S.

  10. I appreciate the tips!!!
    Merci !!!😍 learning a little French too.

  11. Question please, my daughter (adult) and I are planning on having champagne at Champs de Mars our last night in Paris to watch it twinkle one last time. Could anyone recommend a place on Rue Cler or somewhere close that will be open at 10:30 pm ? We are going to the Arc de Triumphe right before so do not want to have to carry anything there? Love you Les Frenchies❤

  12. @sergiofabianzalazar3947 November 20, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    LE REPAIRE… en vaso de plastico 😲,eso si es U.S.A compre una cops de cristal por favor. saludos.

  13. @madamlakwatsera5674 November 20, 2024 at 12:48 pm

  14. Thanks for this, coming to Paris next week, excited for our picnic

  15. @letiziacoppola7143 November 20, 2024 at 12:49 pm

  19. Very very nice thank

  20. Thank you for all of your Paris videos. My husband and I are enjoying them all!!! Great information…

  21. Thank you so much for all the videos you do on Paris, they have helped me a lot in planning my visit, I will be there in two days!!!! I have a question, I will be there for 5 days, is it a good idea to buy a Navigo Card? and will it be valid for me to use to go to Versailles? Merci in advance!

  22. This channel was invaluable for my Paris trip. Best channel on practical tips. Not full of stupid bloopers, not funny segments, nor useless information. I recommend this to all my peeps. Thank you

  23. Hello and thank you for all your videos. Very informative. Could you please mention the Charcuterie you visited on Rue Cler, the name got cut off in your video. Thanks.

  24. Your videos make me want to visit again Paris is truly so beautiful so much to see and do and the food is amazing the desserts are truly the best counting the days i can go again !!!!

  25. Paris has changed so much since I was there last, I’m so glad I found this channel, you are the best! Downloading guidebook soon!

  26. @johanfernandosanchez8307 November 20, 2024 at 12:59 pm

    Muchas gracias, me encanta su contenido

  27. Oh my word! You missed the best one! The shady covering of the Palais Royale gardens! Especially on a super hot day. The fountains keep it cooler and it’s never crowded. Hands down the best best!

  28. oh lala . boire dans gobelets en plastiques ou cartons . pas possible ca

  29. Love this video…..great food and picnic spot advice. Merci

  30. You two make such a charming couple! It’s nice to show different ways of enjoying Paris, and while restaurants can get expensive real quick, picnic is a very affordable way to spend quality time with your friends and enjoy food; you will see many people especialy students from Spring until Autumn on the Quais de Seine or Canal St-Martin. This is really a good tip for people with small budget but still want to do something typically french. For those who enjoy clichés, you can bring your own Vichy tablecloth (small intertwined checks, classicaly red&white) to add a level of frenchiness, if you plan to sit on the grass.

    Hi me and my wife like Your videos we been to paris we love it we will go back to paris en late noviembre we are from the Dominicana República

  33. I’m going to stay 5 full days in Paris … by the middle of May … for sure … I’m gonna save some time for my picnic 🧺 😍 …… Hi 👋 from LA🇺🇸

  34. Hi isn’t it illegal to drink on the Champ de Mars ?

  35. Literally just booked my birthday trip to Paris. I’m so excited!!!!

  36. @yolandamartinezgarcia606 November 20, 2024 at 1:15 pm

    Good afternoon. Thank you for that interesting video. We have planned to celebrated Hogmanay just where you are having a picnic. Would be a problem to bring some champaigne? Thanks

  37. Question – I’d like to take in several picnics when we visit. Where could I buy a small cute picnic cloth to sit on? I think it would be a great souvenir from Paris! Any thoughts for a store to direct me? Maybe from a Cavis?

  38. @Breanna.HouseOfCorgis November 20, 2024 at 1:16 pm

    <3

  39. OMG 8 Euros for a handful of cherries? I hope they were wonderful !! Also, cops will not bother you if you are drinking and eating !! So as long as alcool is part of a whole meal there is absolutely no problem. And you don’t look like trash people at all lol. Nice pique-nique 🙂

  40. So cool! Love the wine store

  41. @sweetypatnett6123 November 20, 2024 at 1:18 pm

    I can’t wait to have my picnic near the Eiffel tower like you guys. It seems like a wonderful place to have a fantastic picnic. Loved it!!!

  42. @saumyakumarbhatnagar4184 November 20, 2024 at 1:19 pm

    I will DEFINITELY have a nice picnic at the steps of the Sacre Coeur when I’m in Paris with my daughter in November, but I wanted to make sure of one thing. If I were to bring a bottle of wine or champagne would it be considered rude to have an alcoholic beverage on the grounds of the Sacre Coeur??? I would love to have a nice picnic there and enjoy the view; but don’t want to offend anyone!

  43. This channel is, by far, my favorite. Your videos are incredibly informative and so inviting. Time to plan another visit to Paris! Great work, you two!

  44. merci

  45. Awesome videos guys. Watched a few, very informative and easy to watch

  46. Amazing video!

  47. @lilian.bloom.petite.stylist November 20, 2024 at 1:23 pm

    Do you recommend to do picnic in winter time? or it’s too cold to sit out on the grass?

  48. @susanoliveira3155 November 20, 2024 at 1:25 pm

    I don’t wanna pay 100 dollars for a pincnic guys…

  49. @saumyakumarbhatnagar4184 November 20, 2024 at 1:27 pm

    are all these places on Rue Cler?

  50. Love this 🍷🧀
