[English]

Hi guys! Welcome back to "On the go with EF".

I hope you all had a fantastic Halloween and

that you enjoyed some of that delicious candy that Kendra showed to us last week.

I’m here on Place Vendôme, the heart of Parisian luxurious jewelry.

Here you can find Cartier, Chaumet, Chanel, Dior … anything. You name it, it’s here.

And I’m very excited because I’m meeting up with Philippine and she’s taking me to rue Saint-Honoré

where I can find even more luxurious boutiques.

So, come on. Let’s go and explore the luxurious window shopping in Paris.

Okay, guys! Let’s go meet up with Philippine.

Hello! How are you? Fine, and you?

Ok, so take me there. I’m already excited! Is it far? Can we talk there?

Yes, yes! It’s over there! Just over there? Awesome!

Oh my god, there’s so much stuff here. Jimmy Choo, Cavalli.

I want to try everything.

Yeah, I know! Everywhere I look, there’s something really interesting.

Rue Cambon. Isn’t this where Chanel... I think she used to work here.

Yeah.

So, this is the homeland of Chanel. The original store.

Where she got all her inspiration.

Wow. Oh my god, look at this. This is very exclusive. I love it. I love this dress. It’s so beautiful!

It is very French and I love how she always has the pearls.

You know, you would think pearls are something so classical,

but she plays with them in such a modern and young way. It’s beautiful.

This is Memo, the very French perfumery. The famous one. I love all their packaging.

It’s gold and they have these cool eyes on the bags.

Oh! Hervé Léger.

Those are probably the most modern, feminine dresses you can find. Look at them!

When you see a girl wearing an Hervé, you know it’s an Hervé.

You recognize it.

Because of the cut. They’re beautiful. It’s also French.

So many great designs and things are from France. It’s amazing!

And I see Maison Michel.

Okay, every lady who wants to own a hat needs to own a Maison Michel hat.

They’re just something else.

I want to go inside this one and try some hats on.

What do you think? Yeah, we can!

Oh, I see Chloé! I love this store.

They always have such classical, elegant collections with a bit of fun.

Oh my god. I love this jacket. It’s so nice! Yeah! I love this dress!

It looks very cozy. I like it.

They take a super elegant evening dress and rough it up with some cowboy-inspired boots and

some ski-inspired jacket with mouton. It’s beautiful. I love it!

I want them. I really want these ones.

Ok, guys. I think this is one of my favorite hotels in Paris: Hôtel Costes.

It’s very chic.

All the models and designers and everyone who is anyone comes to hang out here

and have lunch and coffee.

Oh my god - Manoush. Okay, we have to go inside this one.

I love Manoush. Everybody loves Manoush. You cannot not love Manoush.

Hello! Hello!

I can’t choose one. Look at this. It’s so beautiful! It’s so colorful!

And it’s going to look so good on me! Yes.

I love it. I love how colorful and expressive everything is. Check it out.

And then, Colette.

Colette. That’s the awesome place that you told me about.

Guys, there’s a shop called Colette and they have all the coolest things you can find.

They hand pick from different brands all of the awesome stuff that there is.

And you can find anything there from 10 Euros to 100,000 Euros.

Even more. Even more!

When Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian - whenever they come to Paris, they all go to Colette.

They also do some shows and performances there. Yes, many events there.

I haven’t been there yet, so I’m really looking forward to that.

So maybe we’ll do Colette first before anything else.

I think I see it. It’s the one with the cool vitrine.

Coca-cola and all the sneakers. You can really find anything.

They’ve got all the special Nike editions. And Adidas.

Yeah, the stuff you can’t find in a regular shop. It’s cooler than Yeezys.

Philippine, look! There’s the Vilebrequin! Isn’t this where –

Vilebrequin. What?

Vilebrequin.

Vilebrequin. This is a super-famous guys’ swimwear shop.

It’s expensive, but it’s a bit less expensive in Paris.

It’s really cool. Check them out. It’s perfect if you want to go to Saint-Tropez.

When you see a guy wearing this, you know that it’s Vilebrequin that’s he’s wearing because

they always have these colorful designs with flowers, turtles or seahorses or...

anything else you can imagine, you can get it on your swim shorts.

So, guys, you should look into this.

Check this out. This is rue Royale and it crosses rue Saint-Honoré.

And, after this, it becomes rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré

and all the numbers start over again.

So, when you finish shopping on rue Saint Honoré, you’ve got to max out your credit cards again

and go on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré for more shopping because here, again,

there’s Gucci Dior, Chanel, everything. There’s one on every crossing on every street.

Let’s go now to rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

Of course, there’s a Gucci store. You know Paris. What are you going to do?

Okay, guys. This is Hermès.

You’ve got Chanel and then you’ve got Hermès where the handbags are 10,000 or 7,000 Euros

and you need to get on a waiting list if you want one.

So, you don’t choose Hermès, Hermès chooses you and what kind of handbag you get.

Nice.

So, that’s the Christian Louboutin shop, the famous red sole shoe shop.

As you can see, there is even a line outside to get in there.

Every girl dreams of having Christian Louboutin shoes.

You know, I think I’ve done enough window shopping.

I actually want to go and buy something. Where can we go?

Champs-Élysées? Champs-Élysées? We can buy something?

Yes, there are some chain stores.

Let’s go and do that. Yeah, let’s go!

We’re at Champs- Champs-Élysées now and you have all these really nice shopping windows here.

Check this out. This is Guerlain, the perfumery, and then you have Sephora, H&M, Zara.

We are now in the place where you can go and actually buy something. So, let’s go shopping!

Guys, we’ve had the most amazing day window shopping

and I’ve been to the two most famous shopping streets in the world:

rue Saint Honoré and avenue des Champs-Élysées.

And now we’re finishing here with the beautiful Arc de Triomphe at the end of Champs- Élysées.

Please comment and tell me what other famous shopping streets you know!

Whoever’s comment I like the most is going to get this cool gift that we bought at Colette and

it is a 30-day happy challenge.

Each day, you pull out a sticker which is going to tell you something happy that you can do.

I think it’s a really cool gift.

And please make sure to come back next week

because we’re going to this really cool French hangout place called quai ...

...François-Mauriac. Yeah. What she said.

Bye! Bye!
