How to visit a French grocery store matched with a bike crash on the day I was trying out to be a bike tour guide. – Splitting the day up into two videos within one video is as confusing as one video making two videos about a video videoing a video. Do you see what I’m dealing with here?? Thanks Lottie for the amazing art! It’s not in the vlog, but if you check out my new avatar on Instagram you’ll see her fantastic rendition of my glorious beard.

Sac OR Cabas not both at once those auto checkouts crack me up with that.
For the reccord
Cabas is a "old french" word for "a bag that use for groceries".
You'll hearr old people using the word alone because well a "cabas" IS a bag no need to precise it ^^
Awesome thank you for these tips 🙂
"survive"? Do many people die shopping in france?
Sackeba!
Works just like Whole Foods.
The machines are made by NCR in Texas. So many of the differences between France and U.S. have disappeared.
I flat out died at the Yoda flavour!!!
Please spare me your opinion of food flavors.I mean Americans taste in food is a joke😁u go to the gastronomy capital of world with your distaste for food.spare me .I want watch u anymore I can tell U don't enjoy life even in paris!👎👐
Paris and London are pretty similar when it comes to shopping
I remember doing grocery shopping in Nice for the first time back in 2010 and I was surprised that they don't provide plastic bags for my groceries. Luckily, a couple standing behind me at the cashier was from the UK and I asked them in English where can I get plastic bags and they pointed to me the bags where I can pick them up. Those reusable plastic bags are really expensive though.
Hi Jay, thanks so much for all your great videos – your vlog about using the metro was the best explanation I’ve seen, so glad I found it!
Speaking of French groceries, I was wondering if you had any advice about bringing home dairy products (Paris to New York), as far as keeping them relatively cold; can’t bring ice packs on the plane and I’ll be staying in a hotel. I won’t buy them until the day I leave, but I’m wondering what I should put them in for the plane ride (I checked U.S. customs site, the Comte and butter I’m hoping for are allowed according to what they say). Any thoughts?
I am glad thia videos exist I was going to comment on a grocery video. I know a lot of them vary. It seems they are like some US stores depending on subject like weighing your produce,Walmart has that buut it is always broken. Our Publix has a sushi section that prepare them daily. Nice to know they have self checkouts as well. The bag thing reminds me of Aldi or Ikea, we don't have our own bags as much as some stores try to push the idea so good advice.
I'm sorry but you don't weigh your produce in America, like whaaat??
Yoda flavour! Lol
You should do one on how to use taxis in Paris to see if it's the same as using taxis in large American cities.
I subscribed in March. Now I’m addicted. Watching a lot of your older videos. Hope you are doing well.
Do the automatic check out have an english language option? Actually would have been interesting if you went through it.
It is not hard for me to imagine a big array of mayo in France. Js

One stupid question: can I pay in cash at the grocery store? Is that an option or it makes you look super weird?
