Notre Dame After the Fire - Paris' 4th Arrondissement - 20 in 20 Day 4 - le Marais and Notre Dame

Paris' 4th Arrondissement is home to Notre Dame, which thankfully is still standing after yesterday's fire destroyed the roof. I'm feeling much better today after getting a chance to see the cathedral. As for the 20 in 20, all these recommendations and more in my guide to Paris here: https://go.parisinmypocket.com/20in20

Notre Dame de Paris is the Cathedral of Paris and suffered a catastrophic fire to its roof the other day. Thankfully the structure of Notre Dame has been declared saved by the city's firefighters and the rose windows of the church were declared intact by the Bishop of Paris (who oversees Notre Dame de Paris). Today's vlog has a few shots of Notre Dame after the fire as visible from outside the perimeter set up by the pompiers de Paris.

My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa and hoping to make the city of light my home base - at least for the foreseeable future. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlog daily, and love pizza a little too much.

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? On and off for over two years.

What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS

You're always talking about living on some ship. WHAT SHIP? - I made a "Draw My Life" video that explains a lot here:    • Draw My Life  

Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).

What do you film with? - I've made a lot of changes recently, but I try to keep my gear list up to date if you want to see what I use and buy some for yourself: http://bit.ly/JaysGearList

What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school.

Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do.

Why are you living in #Paris? - Because I've always wanted to; I feel at home here:    • Why I Want to Live in France  

Do you speak French? Oui.    • Un Jour en Francais (English Subtitles)  

You talk a lot about the books you're working on, what are they about? - They're sci-fi (and fantasy) and I've got a decent pitch for you here:    • The Pitch (Sorta) - Agnar's Box and C...  

Do you make money off YouTube? - Ha, no. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.

I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - The easiest and best way to support me is through Patreon, where you can pitch in as little as $1/mo to help me make better videos:   / jayswanson  

I don't trust this Patreon thing - can I just paypal you? - Here's my ko-fi if that's your thing (and coffee is your game): https://ko-fi.com/jayswanson

But I want to send you something tangible! - I do have a wishlist on Amazon, though it's a bit complicated with the international shipping situation. This is the US one: http://amzn.to/2ykS9Ux

And here's the French wishlist: http://bit.ly/JaysFrenchWishList
