Transcript of the video

Hello everyone. Today, I'm going to take you on a tour of Paris. It's a great opportunity to discover new vocabulary and see pictures of the city. I'm going to meet up with a friend and we're going shopping. Right now, it's the sales season in France. So I'm going to put on a coat. As it's winter, it's cold. I button up my coat. I'll put a hat on my head. Always so I don't get cold.

I'm going to wear my shoes, in this case sneakers. I could have worn boots or ankle boots, but I'm going to wear my sneakers instead because I'm going to be doing a lot of walking.

I'm going to tie my shoes. It was my right foot and now I'm putting on my left foot. And again I lace up my shoe, I lace up my sneaker. All that's left is to take my bag, my keys, which I put in my bag, and of course to put on a mask. And off we go.

So here we go, I could take the elevator, but I'm going to take the stairs for a bit of exercise. So I'm in the street, I'm walking, I'm wearing a mask because it's compulsory in France to wear a mask everywhere in the street, in the stores, almost everywhere, except when you're at home. Right now, I'm walking to the metro. It's really nice because it's so sunny. The weather forecast had predicted rain, but it's much nicer to walk in the sunshine. Behind me, right there you see, there's a gas station or a gas pump.

It's where you go to put gas back in your car. So here we go past a boulangerie pâtisserie, where there's bread and different pastries and different French cakes. Here we're going to see a driving school, so a driving school is where you learn to drive. Next door we have a caterer-restaurant. The difference between a caterer and a restaurant is that, in a restaurant, you can sit down at a table and be served. A caterer is more like a takeaway.

Sometimes restaurants also cater. You can come in and say I'll have a little bit of potato, a little bit of meat, and you can take it home in trays. And there's the metro. We're going to go inside. It's called a "bouche de métro" in French, or a subway station.

I'm hurrying a little bit because I'm really late. I'm late. My friend, she will be angry I think. We'll go through the park. I really have to hurry.

I'm so late that my friend is already in the store and even in the fitting rooms trying on clothes. Well, I'll show you around anyway. In French, it's called a second-hand store. Inside, you buy clothes that aren't new, that have already been worn. They're second-hand. As there's a long queue, I don't think I'll be able to get in.

I'm going to wait for him here, so I'll continue to show you the stores around so you can learn the new store names. So, here we have a florist, it's a store that sells flowers and plants. Here I pass an art gallery where you can buy the works of artists. There's a restaurant here, but it's closed because all restaurants are closed due to sanitary conditions. Here, you see, there's a move. I made a video about the move not long ago, so if you'd like to see it, I'll put it just above. Here you'll find a costume store for parties, for dressing up and putting on costumes and masks. This is a very pretty little courtyard in Paris, typical of Paris. I'll show you a bit of the streets here, and you'll see some typical Parisian architecture. There aren't many cars here, because there are demonstrations, and people are out in the street protesting.

Therefore, there are some streets that are blocked to traffic.

Cars can't come. This park is so cute. Here, I'm in a clothing store where, you see, it's a sale, which means you can buy the clothes cheaper. Here we have pants, I don't know if you can see. Here we have skirts. Here we have sweaters. Here we have scarves. Here we have hats, caps and here we have dresses. Now I'm in another store to buy wrapping paper, to wrap gifts, to give to someone. The afternoon is almost over. All that's left for me to do is buy some frozen raspberries. So raspberries are a fruit that you find, a red fruit that you find more in summer. That's why I'm going to buy them frozen, to put in the freezer because I'd like to make a raspberry tart tomorrow. We'll go to Picard. I don't know if you know this store. It's a chain of stores in France that only sells frozen food, so it goes in the freezer.

Here, you can find everything frozen. Look, you can even find frozen frogs' legs. Typically French. You can even find frozen snails here. And that's it, the afternoon is over, I hope you enjoyed this new video format. If you liked it, don't forget to put a like on it.
