When in France do as the French do: Shop at the hypermarket!
The French love their daily visits to la boulangerie and other neighborhood stores, but like many people in the rest of the Western world, they also like deals and convenience. They have shopped at les hypermarchés (hypermarkets,) since the 1960s. French Girl in Seattle takes you around one of these superstores and shares her favorite products and shopping tips.
What you will learn in this video:
- Find your way around a French hypermarket and learn handy shopping tips.
- Pronounce French words and brand names.
- Identify some of the best products one can buy in a French supermarket.
Tutorial / Things to Remember:
- un hypermarché (a hypermarket, a superstore) (Edouard) Leclerc, Carrefour, Auchan, Géant Casino, and more, typically located in the suburbs.
- This store's location: le 93 (la Seine St Denis, east of Paris.) All French administrative geographic subdivisions are identified with two digits (found in postal codes and other places.) Downtown Paris is 75.
- La parapharmacie: Quality beauty products found in most pharmacies or in the parapharmacie section of many hypermarkets.
- Apéritif (Apéro:) Refers to a favorite French ritual similar to Happy Hour, and to food and beverages served to celebrate that special time of day (saucisson, dry sausage, being a favorite.)
- Bio (biologique,) organic products. Trendy!
Disclaimer: Brie is a cheese, and also a region outside Paris, not a city. The two main cities where Brie is produced are Meaux and Melun. I realized this while listening to the video afterwards! ;-)

Paris : les nouvelles berges de la Seine
Depuis juin 2013, les berges de la Seine situées entre le pont de l'Alma et le pont Royal ont été rendues aux piétons. Au programme : sport, loisirs et détente.
Arrondissement de Saint Denis Paris HD Video France July 2013
The area of Saint Denis in France is one of the oldest areas of Paris and dates back to before the 2nd century AD
According to wikipedia; Until the 3rd century, Saint-Denis was a large settlement called Catcolacus or Catculliacum, probably meaning estate of Catullius, a Gallo-Roman landowner. About 250 CE, the first bishop of Paris, Saint Denis, was martyred on Montmartre hill and buried in Catolacus. Later,his grave became a shrine and a pilgrimage centre, with the building of the Abbey of Saint Denis, and the settlement was renamed Saint-Denis.
In 1793, during the French Revolution, Saint-Denis was renamed Franciade in a gesture of rejection of religion. In 1803, however, under the Consulate of Napoléon Bonaparte, the city reverted to its former name of Saint-Denis.

Paris, France - Visite Guidée du Quartier Latin (Partie 1)
Bonjour et bienvenue pour cette nouvelle visite guidée par New York Habitat ( ). Aujourd'hui, nous allons explorer l'un des quartiers les plus animés et populaires de Paris, le Quartier Latin.
N'hésitez pas à regarder d'autres vidéos de quartiers de Paris ( ) par New York Habitat, comme celle d'Oberkampf ( ) et de Saint-Germain-des-Prés ( ).
Il y a tellement de choses à voir dans ce quartier que cet épisode sera le 1er d'une trilogie consacrée au Quartier Latin. Ne manquez pas les parties 2 ( et 3 ( de notre trilogie consacrée au Quartier Latin.
Situé sur la rive gauche de la Seine, emplacement historique de la citée romaine de Lutèce, le Quartier Latin s'étend de la Seine jusqu'au sommet du Mont St. Geneviève, colline qui doit son nom au saint patron de la ville.
Le nom de Quartier Latin remonte au Moyen-âge, lorsqu'il s'agissait du repère des étudiants et de leurs professeurs. L'université a été créée en tant qu'école rattachée à la Cathédrale. Les cours avaient lieu à l'extérieur, sous les arcades du cloître de la Cathédrale. Au XIIème siècle, beaucoup de personnes ont émigré vers la rive gauche et, peu après, des facultés comme celle de La Sorbonne (fondée en 1257).
Alors, pourquoi l'appelle-t-on le Quartier Latin ? Et bien, cela vient du fait qu'on y parlait le latin, pas seulement au sein des universités et facultés dont les cours étaient dispensés en latin jusqu'au XVII siècle, mais également dans la rue. A l'époque, les étudiants affluaient du monde entier et communiquaient en Latin dans le quartier où ils vivaient et étudiaient.
Aujourd'hui, il y a toujours beaucoup d'étudiant mais aussi des touristes du monde entier qui viennent dans le Quartier Latin pour se balader dans les petites rues, s'installer dans les cafés ou encore aller dans les clubs de jazz.
Saint-Michel
La Fontaine Saint-Michel est un lieu de rendez-vous très apprécié des parisiens. Le boulevard qui la longe est l'un de ceux construits par Haussmann dans les années 1860 et qui faisait partie intégrante du projet de transformation de Paris voulu par Napoléon III. C'est le Boulevard Saint Michel. La fontaine où Saint Michel terrasse un dragon a été dessinée pour finir le boulevard sur une note majestueuse.
Nous voici en route pour goûter au vieux quartier Latin. Ce quartier a conservé ses étroites ruelles médiévales, identifiables grâce au caniveau qui se trouve au centre de celles-ci. Ces rues sont toujours autant animées qu'à l'époque où les étudiants, professeurs médiévaux, artisans, marchands et chevaliers de la garde royale les peuplaient. On y trouve aujourd'hui de nombreux restaurants ethniques pittoresques.
Appartements du Quartier Latin
Difficile d'apprécier son café du matin et un livre ancien du Quartier Latin dans une ennuyeuse chambre d'hôtel. Pour une expérience authentique dans le Quartier Latin, assurez-vous de réserver un appartement meublé parisien pour votre prochain voyage.
Jetez un œil à cet appartement entièrement meublé de type T2 , se trouvant dans le Quartier Latin ( ). Avec une cuisine entièrement équipée comprenant un lave-vaisselle, cet appartement dispose de tout le nécessaire pour rendre votre séjour dans la capitale agréable (mezzanine avec couchage, TV, etc.). Cette location est en plein cœur du Quartier Latin et à seulement quelques minutes de marche de la Seine et de la cathédrale Notre Dame.
Ou encore, nous avons ce studio meublé, situé dans le 6ème arrondissement de Paris ( ), qui est également équipé d'un lave-linge et évidemment, d'une cuisine entièrement équipée. Très lumineux et offrant de très belles vues, cet appartement est l'endroit idéal pour se sentir chez-soi durant un séjour à Paris, situé juste à proximité du Boulevard Saint-Michel.

Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Bois de Boulogne
Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Bois de Boulogne
The Bois de Boulogne is a large public park located along the western edge of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, near the suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt and Neuilly-sur-Seine. It was created between 1852 and 1858 during the reign of the Emperor Napoleon III. It is the second-largest park in Paris, slightly smaller than the Bois de Vincennes on the eastern side of the city. It covers an area of 845 hectares (2088 acres), which is about two and a half times the area of Central Park in New York and slightly less (88%) than that of Richmond Park in London.
Within the boundaries of the Bois de Boulogne are an English landscape garden with several lakes and a cascade; two smaller botanical and landscape gardens, the Château de Bagatelle and the Pré-Catelan; a zoo and amusement park in the Jardin d'Acclimatation; GoodPlanet Foundation's Domaine de Longchamp dedicated to ecology and humanism, The Jardin des Serres d'Auteuil, a complex of greenhouses holding a hundred thousand plants; two tracks for horse racing, the Hippodrome de Longchamp and the Auteuil Hippodrome; a tennis stadium where the French Open tennis tournament is held each year; and other attractions.
The Bois de Boulogne is a remnant of the ancient oak forest of Rouvray, which included the present-day forests of Montmorency, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Chaville, and Meudon. Dagobert, the King of the Franks (629-639), hunted bears, deer, and other game in the forest. His grandson, Childeric II, gave the forest to the monks of the Abbey of Saint-Denis, who founded several monastic communities there. Philip Augustus (1180–1223) bought back the main part of the forest from the monks to create a royal hunting reserve. In 1256, Isabelle de France, sister of Saint-Louis, founded the Abbey of Longchamp at the site of the present hippodrome.
The Bois received its present name from a chapel, Notre Dame de Boulogne la Petite, which was built in the forest at the command of Philip IV of France (1268–1314). In 1308, Philip made a pilgrimage to Boulogne-sur-Mer, on the French coast, to see a statue of the Virgin Mary which was reputed to inspire miracles. He decided to build a church with a copy of the statue in a village in the forest not far from Paris, in order to attract pilgrims. The chapel was built after Philip's death between 1319 and 1330, in what is now Boulogne-Billancourt.
The Bois de Boulogne was the idea of Napoleon III, shortly after he staged a coup d'état and elevated himself from the President of the French Republic to Emperor of the French in 1852. When Napoleon III became Emperor, Paris had only four public parks - the Tuileries Gardens, the Luxembourg Garden, the Palais Royale, and the Jardin des Plantes - all in the center of the city. There were no public parks in the rapidly growing east and west of the city. During his exile in London, he had been particularly impressed by Hyde Park, by its lakes and streams and its popularity with Londoners of all social classes. Therefore, he decided to build two large public parks on the eastern and western edges of the city where both the rich and ordinary people could enjoy themselves.
