    I booked a stay at Hotel Acropole Paris for EUR 808 per night. However, I've noticed that the hotel has since lowered their nightly rate to less than EUR300 closer to the event date, but they are not offering any refunds or compensation. I am considering filing a complaint with the local consumer protection agency or tourism board. Could you pls suggest contact? Thank you!!

    That's really frustrating! Unfortunately, hotels do have the right to change their rates, similarly to airlines. Maybe you could just rebook, depending on the cancellation fee of your current res?

    Hi Jay, loved your content. Have watched it over and over again. Im about to fly from Australia to your amazing place for the Olympics. Im struggling to find information on what size bag I can take into the stadiums with my 750ml water bottle. Some places say 10L some say 25L, some say we cant take anything but a small handbag. Can you confirm? Im going to all the big stadiums for the games in Paris. thanks

    Hi Katherine! Just found a super useful guide! Each venue might have slightly differing rules, and you can find them all here: olympics.com/en/paris-2024/spectator/spectator-guides Scroll down to the spectator checklist and you'll see the size bags allowed for your specific events.

    The IDF app and Apple Wallet only let me load 1 carnet of t+ tickets, IDF said until your first validation I can’t load any more, not even RER B for the airport. Anyone else have this issue before the Olympic price hike? Also, how do you show a Metro officer you validated your ticket if you have an iPhone ticket?

  • @paris.in.my.pocket
    @paris.in.my.pocketКүн бұрын

    Ah, that's good to know, but super frustrating! If you have multiple travelers, maybe they can each create an account? You'll validate your ticket with your phone at the gates to the metro - you'll scan it just like a pass - and you should be able to pull that up is you're ever "controlled" by a metro officer.

    The 13th arrondissement has a huge Vietnamese Chinese diaspora. the area around Porte de Choisy has a chinatown and lots of Buddhist temples and most importantly the best authentic Vietnamese food. Vietnamese coffee is a must try. Vietnamese soup: "pho" (possibly inspired by the French beef stew: called Pot de Boeff) is phOnomenal on a cold and rainy day.

Perfect timing. Almost, almost like being there. Ok, gotta go. Time to prep for the show. Thanks for the fun!

And Paris is hosting the Olympics! That's another thing I don't like: Sports. Ask me who won the world record of sports, go on... I won't know! Less coffee, more small places that are nice, love!

    Long time subscriber here. I’ve watched many Paris Olympics videos, and this one is the best! Thank you! Question: do you happen to know if ticket transfer is required? We are a family of five adults, and I bought all the tickets. I did enter the name of each person for each ticket in the ticket app, but I did not transfer the tickets. I believe the name is required - tickets are “nominative” - but the transfer is not. I’ve checked the official sites as well as forums, but I don’t see a clear answer. Any idea?

  • @paris.in.my.pocket
    @paris.in.my.pocket5 күн бұрын

    This is a great question, and we're not able to find anything more conclusive. We think you should be safe as long as the tickets match the names of the attendees. Some people don't have smart phones, and people will have tickets for their kids, so it makes sense that not everything is required to have their own ticket on their own app!

    Hi Kathy! Looks like we were incorrect! The latest olympic email has this copy (maybe you already received it) "You bought tickets for friends and family? It's mandatory to transfer your tickets at least 48 hours before the session. A secure QR code will show up on your ticket a few hours before your sesson. This will be the only way to access your session. Your children's tickets can be kept on your app." You can find all the answers to ticket transfers here: tickets.paris2024.org/faq/en_en/category/how-to-buy/ I hope you seet this!

    You can still buy a weekly ticket during that period, which is a special 7 day Paris 2024 pass which costs 70 euros instead of the normal weekly ticket which costs 35 euros. Apart from this, your only option is if you can stock up on t plus single tickets now at the current normal price and use them when you travel in August.

    Another fabulous video! Now that you're posting less frequently, I find myself appreciating your videos even more. I thought this was a very balanced piece, striking the right chord between "Here's everything that will be disrupted due to The Olympics" and "Here are all the reasons why you still should consider visiting during The Olympics." Frankly, I can't think of a worse time to visit, but I'm biased by a personal dislike of The Olympics, which strike me as a very thinly veiled corporate cash grab. BUT -- this might be a great time for people with different preferences to visit a world class city. Either way, great video!

    Thanks-amazing info Jay..just came into Paris, and it is great. Almost the calm before the storm. Staying on Ile Saint Louise again. So quiet and chill. Still bustling but not crazy Only disruption was flying in, which wasn’t a big deal -CDG made us do “air stairs” , and even though I’m coming from NY dealing with JFK and LGA, never experienced air stairs. I thought it was an attempt on being green or more efficient but work on the terminal Loving how off season it feels. Like September. I was taking golden hour photos of the streets of the Marais, with basically nobody in shots around 9pm and the street lights came on at 10 for some more beautiful architecture shots. The bridge has palm trees on it lol 🌴 😂
