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:
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:
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:
Do you speak French? Oui.
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:
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:
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):
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:
And here's the French wishlist:

A Walk Around the 11th Arrondissement of Paris
The 11th arrondissement of Paris (XIe arrondissement) is one of the 20 arrondissements of the capital city of France. In spoken French, this arrondissement is referred to as onzième.
The arrondissement, called Popincourt, is situated on the right bank of the River Seine. The arrondissement is one of the most densely populated urban districts of any European city.
The eleventh arrondissement is a varied and engaging area. To the west lies the Place de la République, which is linked to the Place de la Bastille, in the east, by the sweeping, tree-lined Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, with its large markets and children's parks. The Place de la Bastille and the rue du Faubourg St Antoine are full of fashionable cafés, restaurants, and nightlife, and they also contain a range of boutiques and galleries. The Oberkampf district to the north is another popular area for nightlife. The east is more residential, with more wholesale commerce, while the areas around the Boulevard Voltaire and the Avenue Parmentier are livelier crossroads for the local community. In recent years this district has emerged as one of the trendiest regions of Paris.
On November 13, 2015, it was the site of coordinated shootings and bombings that left 132 dead.
Arrondissement 11: Oberkampf
Known for place de la Republique, Oberkampf is a quieter district than others. As a residential area, it is not frequented often by tourists. Watch as we visit Oberkampf!
BARGING THROUGH FRANCE PT 3 - PARIS 11TH ARRONDISSEMENT
In Part 3 of this video series about traveling the waterways of France on a tug boat, Richard Goodwin first stops at the Place de la Bastille. This is the traditional venue for all Parisian street protests ever since the storming of the notorious Bastille Prison which marked the beginning of the French Revolution. Whilst we were there the famous Tour de France rode past on the final stage of their race around France. Then we visit the Faubourg St. Antoine which is the centre of the French furniture business. Then we come to one of the most amazing timber stores in the world where they have amongst other logs some mahogany from Cuba which arrived before the French Revolution in 1789. We see how they make veneers here. We then see veneering in some of the many workshops of the area and also many of the brass fittings and decorations they make to decorate their furniture.
We then see my niece Elisabeth try on some fancy jewellery.
My next visit in this extraordinary district was to a man who restored marble statues to their former glory. He also showed us a table top he was making with stones from all over the world, from South Africa and Oregon. One of the most famous French sons of the late 19th. century was Frou Frou, literally the sound of a woman's skirt as she walked along. Here we see a man making the folding sheets of cardboard which are pierced to allow through the air which feeds the pipes of his mechanical organ. Then on to the cheapest food market in Paris, the
A gilders workshop, a pool hall and a very bizarre sculptor who works with leather. Then some some children visit my boat at the PORT Arsenal. A visit to a very sinister fellow who is a famous Doll Doctor and has some strange stories to tell. Two brothers just around the corner turn pewter pots on a lathe which must be one of the world's most unique trades.
We then see a French polisher at his metier and talk to one of the few pleasant concierge in Paris. Finally we see a famous bookbinder doing her thing with the biggest collection of embossing tools in Paris.

PARIS ARRONDISSEMENT 11
Despite the real estate being so valuable, this part of Paris was reserved for natural habitat. The plants and animals, and also the insects (which have nests set up for them -- something being done more and more in Paris) and birds were noted and encouraged to remain, or return.
There are several points of entry and egress, and on Rue de La Réunion, which has some housing projects on it also built in '95, there is an access portal to Père Lachaise cemetery. At the top of the steps, Piaf and Modigliani were interred.
I've seen the 11th arrondissement change a fair amount since I moved to Paris in '94. Its inhabitants are extremely mixed, and the architecture varies, from villas, which are usually tiny private alleys, paths or streets with limited access sometimes, to fine old stone houses, industrial buildings and ateliers, and much more modern structures.
I first came to this arrondissement in '93, to buy some unique clothing and to meet one of my editors, then on Cité Joly. There on the grungy Chemin Vert, I found clothing very different from what I'd been seeing in NYC, my erstwhile home. No fine showrooms -- it was fun, and I love Père Lachaise cemetery. It's kind of a must-see in Paris.
The rock bed under this savage park is chalk-type. I saw people jogging slowly here, showing their children the water and plants, sitting alone quietly, and just using it as a pass-through point.

Lunch in 11th arrondissement, Paris
We were having a little lunch at the corner bistro near our apartment and this group just broke into song. Notice the lively old lady in blue had her shirt inside out and the lady with big red hair probably didn't start out life as a lady. They sang song after song and amused us all afternoon. It's going to be a great summer in Paris!
