I got emotional watching the end of this because it was THE BEST time!! Honestly couldn’t have done it with anyone else, you and Sabine are such wonderful human beings and I loved making these memories with you both. You are a gem of a human being and this vlog was perfection, cattywompus plans and all! Miss you alreadddyy 💛💛

After watching this i decided to finally book myself my dream trip to Florence. As i'm a single pringle I've always felt I can't travel alone, but watching this video I just thought F is and do it! Thank you!
LOVE you Gavin, honestly cannot describe how much this trip ment to me and how much you bring into my life 🥹❤️ Thank you so SO much from the bottom of my heart and I can’t wait for the next trip together because I sure hope that there will be many more in the future 🥰🥰🥰

LOVE YOU SABINE thank you for coming along for the Paris adventure ❤
Thank you for taking us along on your trip to Paris, Gavin! Looks like you all had a wonderful time! 🗼🥐☕ And Ash trying to open the door when you got back home was THE CUTEST THING!!!! 😻🖤😻
1:10 I can totally imagine Gavin being as iconic as Blair Waldorf with the Shopping Bags as he walks down Parisian streets.
There's such a beautiful glow to your face when you go on these adventures. (Even more than normal) You can feel the happiness and an almost Free feeling through the screen. Thank you for thinking of us and taking us along.
Gavin has returned with a Magnum Opus Video, which means it’s a non-stop journey to pure joy.
The fact that you stayed at an Arthur Rimbaud-themed hotel, who was part of the first openly gay couple in literary history, and you never mentioned it, is absolutely sending me 😂 I love your travelling content so much

@@GavinReadsItAll yeah! There’s even a great movie with young Leo DiCaprio called “Total Eclipse”. It was the way I first found out about Rimbaud and then became absolutely enamored with his poetry
It's mind boggling to me that you only have 55k subs! You deserve millions of people following you because you're such a stellar person and honestly, even though I have never met you in real life, I can tell you're a genuinely amazing person. Thank you for talking us on this journey with you. Much love from sLOVEnia
The trip to Japan sounds amazing and it's on my bucket list. I wish I could save enough by then. I hope you do another trip in the future. Would love something like this!
I wish I had bookish friends to do this with! 🥺 Or friends in general really haha. It looks like an amazing time.
I want a booktube Paris trip too🥺 Now imma watch Sabine's video !!! THAT ITINERARY!! I'm impressed
Definitely loved Gavin in Paris more than Emily in Paris, haha. Such a beautiful vlog 🧡
Loving this vlog. Many comments amalgamated together. So cool you got to see both Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde's graves. Brighton Rock was on the Scottish school syllabus back when I was at school, it is good but think would appreciate more being older.

Loving the timing of the music on the seine tour. I know you couldn't get flowers by miley due to copyright issues. I just imagined you acting it out with a bunch of flowers etc.
I am saving for a trip to Ireland, would love to go there and visit the home of my ancestors. Also, to take in the beautiful surroundings of the Emerald Isle.

I loved watching all three of you together in one of my favorite places. When I've been in Shakespeare & Co. you could take photos - although it wouldn't have occurred to me back in the pre-social media days to take video. Can you take photos still? And I just choked up, so sad, to see Notre Dame. I assume the lighting was showing mostly scaffolding in the back, right? And that's so cool you went and saw the cafe from Amelie. Love that movie so much. Also, have you seen the movie Charade? (Audrey Hepburn and a huge cast of great old actors!) I thought of that when you were all on the boat. Probably my fave old movie.

Oh, and Gavin, I was really blown away by Beth's photos! You're right, she's amazing behind the lens. (well, and in front of it too - obviously)
When I went to Japan I lived on coffee. One morning I told my husband that I really needed a cup, we walked around the corner and there - on the sidewalk!!! - was a parked van with this guy selling coffee. He had a full-on cappuccino machine in the back. If that was here (in Canada) I'd be suspicious, but in Japan, it just felt normal and at that moment an answer to prayer haha.
The portrait in your bedroom is a gay poet. Arthur Rimbaud.
wait i loove Amelie! ugh i loved Paris when i went with my french class back in high school & this made me wanna go back!
Loved this. Especially when you talked about Giovanni's Room. Very interesting to hear your thoughts about it. So glad you had such an amazing trip!

Aww I always miss my furbabies when I leave them for a getaway. My limit is a week as I'm itching to get back to them. The France introduction is the best! I wonder if she had a miss congeniality moment the minute she screeched like that 🤣
The Pre-Travel Anxiety is real. NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND 🔥
I can’t afford the japan trip this year. But I hope you’ve another trova trip next year 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Sabine’s secret message on your camera was so sweet!❤
Another fab travel adventure! With your love of gothic novels, I'm curious about whether you've read 'Rebecca' by Daphne du Maurier? I did my uni dissertation on her books!
Absolutely gorgeous, all of it! Looked like you had a great time. I hope I can make it there one day. Slowly saving to travel.
Love this xxx
Allons-y, Paris!!! 💜💜💜 All those Paris, cafés and bakeries. They look so awesome as well as the Luovre Shakespeare and Company books and Abbey books looked awesome as well
Sweet! I really do enjoy these travel vlogs! 😊❤📚
Brilliant vlog Gav 💕
LOVED THIS SO MUCH ❤
I'm not a pet person, but it always breaks my heart too when you leave the cats😢
I loved this! Made me so nostalgic for Paris!
22:39 SHAKESPEARE AND COMPANY. An institution and absolutely iconic.
Glad you had such a lovely time!
I was having just a shit day and needed the shot of positive energy that is Gavin. Vlog definitely makes me want to travel. Thank you for all the good vibes, I know its silly but your videos never fail to lift me up when I'm in low spirits.
Thanks for the adventure
Looks like an amazing time away!
Love these trips away.. Great video Gavin.. Lovely great viewing. 😊😊
Loved your vlog
and now i want to go to paris again
Already christened 😂😂😂 love these videos! 💗
So glad you had such a wonderful trip! Thank you for sharing with us!
So insanely jealous. Paris is on my travel bucket list!
This was fun to watch!! Excited to see your future travel vlogs!!
This looks like *the* Paris trip and I love it!
The Cinematography in the intro and in the whole video! Love it
This is glorious! What a fun whirlwind trip. Makes me want to return to Paris.
Glad you had a good time, I've been in Paris for 24 hours lol 🖤
I very much needed this video today. ❤
Bon séjour en France ! 🇨🇵🩷
What an amazing getaway! Thank you for bringing me a bit of happiness.
This is amazing, i'm so happy you had such an amazing trip! If only I could go to Japan with you!
Great vlog! Nothing like a trip with friends ❤
Now I need to go to Paris 👀👀 Loved this video, Gavin! ❤
6 years ago today I was in Paris, so this video is perfect timing 🤩
Thank you for taking us on your trip! I’m now a Patreon! ❤
Love your travel vlogs! Beautiful sights, thank you for sharing. Your book friends are wonderful. The kitties loving on you is so sweet ♥️.
Agh! Gavin this was so fun to see I’m obsessed with your travel videos 😩 the vibes were amazing and beautiful ✨ bonne journee
After this vlog I'm even more excited for my trip to Paris in April. 😃
Gav! This video was a delight from beginning to end! Fantastic stuff as usual, love seeing you read more classics too! 🧡💛💙
23:16 Yay! A book about India 🔥
I loved this video so much! I’m so glad you had an amazing trip 💜 definitely inspires me to take some trips this year 😊 “just do it 2023” 😂😂
This was such a great vlog. I hope you had a spectacular time in Paris! And as always, your editing is flawless!
I loved this vlog so much! I'll be coming back for it, if I ever have a need for wholesome Paris content. And it made me excited to hopefully travel a bit with my friends this year as well!
What a great vlog, it looks so much fun!!
Thank you for always bringing us along your little trips! officially my newest favorite youtuber. Thank you for awakening in me this new urge to read.
Gavin you are such a joy!! You’re videos always brighten my week. Thank you for being you 😊
Such a beautiful video Gavin so glad you had a good time, Paris is definitely on my list of places to visit it when I safe up❤️
This video was so great! I visited Paris a few years ago and you've made me want to go back!!!!
I went to Paris in October and your vlog made me well up with tears, seeing all those beautiful familiar sights again was an absolute treasure 😍🤩 thank you for sharing!!
This made me want to go to Paris with some friends. I love Japan! I've been to many of the places in the itinerary. You'll have a fabulous time!
That comment at the beginning about doing what you want to do in 2023 really motivated me to look at properly booking Edinburgh! Thanks for the motivation! I'm also going to Paris this summer for my 30th and this video made me so excited for this trip :) I've been before but its been 10 years and I'm so excited to go back :)
I’ll be waiting for the review on Brighton Rock 😂 This vlog was incredible! I felt like I was there with you all.
The Abbey Bookshop is quite find, I must say.
This might be my favorite video you've created 💕 I went to Paris for the first time last year and it was magical. This video just made me want to go back so badly!
Gavin, thank you for taking us with to Paris! I loved seeing it all! Maybe someday I’ll get overseas but until then I will travel with you this way! Thank you again!❤
Thank you for curing my Sunday blues 🥐

I just finished Giovanni's Room and was excited to see what you thought only to find out that you DNF'ed the book, but I respect your decision. You gotta protect your mental health. It's the same reason I don't want to read A Little Life. I'm not ready to be that traumatized.
The Japan trip sounds so fun and this trip looked amazing! I love your mantra for this year to just do it and live your best life! I'm going to try to carry that with me when I can this year. I think big trips aren't in the cards (visa paperwork $$$) but I'll live vicariously through y'all and do my best where I can lol.
I’m loving the grey in your hair Gavin! You look so distinguished and dashing😀
Fantastic vlog "Kevin"! You all looked like y'all had the absolute best time! BTW I gifted Lexi that same edition of The Great Gatsy!
Ah this vlog has made me wanna go back to Paris! It's the most beautiful city and you went to so many interesting places I didnt see. Might have to take myself 👀

gibert joseph on the boulevard saint michel is a bookstore with six floors. it's mainly french books, but they do have a really good english section on the 2nd floor. they've got both new books and livres en occasion (second hand) if that's your sort of thing.
Love your travel vlogs! To be honest, the farting in the bookstore was my favorite part, quality content!🤣
Oh my goodness you haven't been on a plane for so long! I hope you enjoy traveling a little bit more. I love travelling and do it a lot and it is some of my favourite vlogs to make as well. Giovanni's room is on my shelf and I am so ready to read it! Baldwin's are often considered modern classics and from what you're saying makes sense. And I do love beautiful writing. A shame about the problematic elements!! And if it was making you uncomfortable and unhappy then dnf was definitely the way forwards. I went to paris a lot in a year because my sister did her year abroad there and we had a place to stay. Love Sabine so much

This is such a great vlog! I love all the photos and footage. I'm hoping to visit the UK in the near future. I'm having a little adventure of my own and that I am moving from one state to another. I am going to be moving from Tennessee to Florida to stay with a friend. And that is going to be taking a lot of my money. So when I have enough saved up I'm heading to Europe.
