Best of Paris Preview

In Rick Steves March Travel News, there is a button titled "Best of Paris Preview" I watched the 30 second preview but where is the actual video?

Is it not yet available? Will it be on PBS first?

A friend of mine is in Paris and yesterday the weather was beautiful: 65 degrees, dry and sunny.

Thank you CL

I am disappointed but I did watch one that he did on Paris 11 years ago. It was excellent but I was looking forward to the "latest". Guess there will not be a latest youtube video on Paris by Rick

Mystery solved!

Well, either I did not fully read the paragraph or it has been changed.

n this one-hour celebration of the City of Light we cruise the Seine, marvel at the stained-glass glory of Sainte-Chapelle, dance on the riverbanks, and groove to cool jazz in a medieval cellar. We eat unforgettably French, enjoy perhaps Europe's finest art in the Louvre, admire the palace of palaces at Versailles, climb the Eiffel Tower, and embrace that fabled joie de vivre in its hometown. Coming April 1 to public television stations across the US, and streaming at Passport and ricksteves.com.

Going to be April 1st on PBS.

After looking at this month's News and clicking on the Paris section, the text part of it says there is a new episode scheduled to come out on April 1 on PBS.

"Coming April 1 to public television stations across the US, and streaming at Passport and ricksteves.com."

IF you are a member of your local PBS station and have Passport (the PBS app) you might be able to see it a few days before then.

Edit: oops...crossposting with you! I am glad you were able to figure it out.

Hi Pam

I do not know how I missed that it will be on PBS April 1st but I somehow did.

I am able to access PBS and love the station.

Excited. to see Best of Paris as I am going first week of May but I think that you know that.

OK, I've had time this morning to look at my local PBS station's guide out thru the end of April. They do not seem to be airing the new Paris episode in that time frame BUT your local station might be different. The text from the newsletter says it will be available on this website. I see an episode on Paris from 2025 that is available now but that is called Paris of the Parisians not Best of Paris. You might keep an eye on the videos at this link to see if a new one shows up before you travel.

Thank you Pam and Mardee

There are three videos that I do not believe I have seen and I will be viewing them while I wait on the one maybe showing on April 1st.

I do not remember the name of the one that I did see but it was 11 years old and very good.
