[Camera fades in. Paris sparkles behind Conan as he stands at Trocadéro Plaza, the Eiffel Tower gleaming in the background. He straightens his scarf dramatically.]
Conan:
"Bonjour, mes amis! That’s French for… 'I probably shouldn’t be trusted with a croissant.'
Welcome to the city of light, love, and lactose—Paris, where every cobblestone has a story, every baguette could be a weapon, and every waiter secretly judges your accent. I’m your host, Conan O’Brien—self-appointed king of awkward travel adventures—and I’ll be dragging along a few of my very famous, very confused friends as we spend the next five days discovering the real Paris.
But this isn’t your typical tour. We’re talking about secret tunnels under the Eiffel Tower, love letters hidden behind art, and wine older than I am—and trust me, that’s saying something.
Joining me each day are some of the coolest, weirdest, most talented people on Earth—from global icons to local legends. And, of course, we’ve got a tour guide who knows the things even Google doesn’t. Each day, they’ll whisper hidden truths, blow our minds with fun facts, and probably try to stop me from embarrassing America in public.
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll eat too much cheese.
This is Paris like you’ve never seen it—through the eyes of misfits, romantics, and one tall Irish guy in the wrong shoes.
So grab your beret, charge your phone, and let’s dive into the greatest city on Earth… one cobblestone at a time."
[He pauses, looking out toward the Eiffel Tower, hand over heart.]
“And remember: what happens in Paris… ends up in a very tasteful Instagram reel.”
(Note: This is an imaginary conversation, a creative exploration of an idea, and not a real speech or event.)
Day 1: Paris Icons & River Charm
Cast:
Conan O’Brien – irreverent host, full of wild questions and tall jokes
Emma Stone – playful, curious, and low-key obsessed with Instagrammable moments
Omar Sy – effortlessly cool French local, fluent in charm and secret shortcuts
Lorànt Deutsch – your quirky French historian/tour guide who knows things Google doesn’t
Scene 1: Early Morning at the Eiffel Tower
The group meets at Trocadéro Plaza. The air is crisp and smells faintly of roasted chestnuts from a nearby vendor. The Eiffel Tower looms across the Seine, golden in the morning sun, casting long shadows that ripple on the cobblestones.
Lorànt (grinning):
“Mes amis, before tourists flood the plaza, let me tell you—beneath that tower lies a military bunker from WWII... now an artist's studio. No signs, no tickets, only known by the pigeons—and me.”
Conan (wide-eyed):
“You’re telling me there’s a secret Batcave under the Eiffel Tower? Do the artists wear berets and fight crime with baguettes?”
Emma (laughs, snapping photos):
“If they do, I’m joining. This light is insane—like honey melted over steel.”
Omar (smiling):
“Conan, just wait until we go up. The view will knock the croissant out of your hand.”
Scene 2: Going Up the Tower
The elevator hums as it ascends. Inside, it’s warm and filled with a blend of perfumes, coffee breath, and nervous energy. As they step out onto the viewing platform, the wind greets them with a sharp kiss.
Emma:
“Oh wow… You can hear the city up here. It’s like Paris is whispering in a thousand accents.”
Below, the Seine coils like a green ribbon through the gray rooftops. Tiny dots move on bridges, and the occasional puff of accordion music drifts up.
Conan (arms wide):
“I’m king of Paris! And I demand all citizens wear skinny scarves and say 'ooh la la' at least once an hour!”
Scene 3: Stroll through Champ de Mars
They descend and walk through Champ de Mars, where morning joggers and elderly chess players dot the park. The grass smells of dew and history, and pigeons dance in sunbeams.
Lorànt:
“This lawn was once used for revolutionary military drills. Now? It’s where couples kiss and influencers stage picnic reels. C’est la vie!”
Omar:
“My uncle proposed right here. He brought a red balloon. Very French.”
Emma (laughing):
“That’s adorable. Do French balloons float more romantically?”
Conan (deadpan):
“No. They smoke Gauloises and judge you silently.”
Scene 4: Lunch at Café de l’Homme
The group settles into a sun-drenched terrace facing the tower. The table is set with crusty baguettes, chilled rosé, and the buttery aroma of escargots.
Emma:
“This is unreal. Garlic, wine, iron tower—everything’s a sensory overload.”
Conan (holding up a snail fork):
“I think this fork is judging me harder than the waiter.”
Omar (snorts):
“Just don’t ask for ketchup.”
Scene 5: Seine River Cruise
Later, they drift down the Seine in a glass-roofed bateau. The river smells mossy and alive. Sunlight flickers through trees lining the embankment, and bridges glide overhead like lazy whales.
Lorànt:
“This river once carried kings, rebels, and lovers. Beneath Pont Neuf, there’s a stone face no one knows who carved. Some say it’s the river goddess herself.”
Emma:
“I need that face on a tote bag.”
Conan:
“I need that face to replace my agent.”
As Notre-Dame slides into view, bells ring in the distance like a gentle exclamation point to the moment.
Scene 6: Trocadéro Gardens & Rue Cler
They wander the Trocadéro Gardens, where fountains leap like choreographed dancers. The scent of blooming flowers and warm crepes fills the air.
Emma:
“Is it weird that I want to live in this exact moment forever?”
Omar (grinning):
“That’s the Paris effect.”
They finish the evening at Rue Cler, a cobbled street lined with glowing boulangeries and flickering lanterns.
Conan (biting into a warm croquette):
“This is the best day I’ve had where I didn’t get tackled by security.”
Scene 7: Dinner at Les Ombres
Dinner is served on a rooftop restaurant with a full moon rising behind the Eiffel Tower. The tower now sparkles, casting glittering light on the group’s laughter.
Lorànt:
“Now you see why we Parisians never fully explain Paris. It’s not meant to be explained. Only felt.”
Emma (softly):
“Well, I’m definitely feeling it.”
Conan:
“So am I. And I’m also feeling these six courses of foie gras trying to unionize in my stomach.”
Day 2: Art, Architecture & Fashion
Theme: Louvre, Tuileries Garden, and High-End Shopping
Cast:
Conan O’Brien – the art critic nobody asked for
Rihanna – fearless fashion icon, razor-sharp wit, and queen of cool
Marion Cotillard (Local) – elegant French actress, deeply poetic and passionate about the arts
Stéphane Bern – our charismatic tour guide and walking encyclopedia of French royal secrets and art history
Scene 1: Morning at the Louvre
The group gathers at the Pyramid entrance of the Louvre. The air is fresh, tinged with espresso and the faint perfume of blooming lilacs from a nearby vendor. The glass pyramid gleams, reflecting the early sun like a giant diamond.
Stéphane (with dramatic flair):
“This pyramid, designed by I.M. Pei, was once hated. Now? It’s the city’s heartbeat—connecting history with the modern soul.”
Conan (squinting):
“I always thought this was the spaceship the Mona Lisa came from.”
Rihanna (smirks):
“She is from another dimension. Have you seen her smile?”
Marion (soft laugh):
“In France, we say she is smiling at your soul’s secrets.”
Inside, the cool marble halls echo with hushed awe. The scent is old stone and polished wood. They glide past sculptures and paintings until arriving at the Mona Lisa.
Conan (staring at the small portrait):
“Not to sound shallow, but this frame could use an upgrade.”
Rihanna (whispers):
“You don’t upgrade Da Vinci, baby. You just lean in.”
Tourists crowd, flashlights dance—but the group stays grounded in awe.
Scene 2: Tuileries Garden Stroll
Stepping outside, they walk through the Tuileries Garden. The gravel crunches underfoot. Sunlight filters through perfectly trimmed trees. The scent of fresh-cut grass mixes with warm buttery pastries wafting from a nearby cart.
Marion (pointing):
“Those green chairs? They were introduced in 1923. Lovers still leave notes under them.”
Conan (dramatically sitting):
“I too am a lover… of naps. And gluten.”
They stop for a quick espresso at a shaded garden café. The clinking of cups and chirping of birds fills the air.
Rihanna:
“Even the coffee here dresses better than people in LA.”
Scene 3: Musée de l'Orangerie
At the edge of the garden lies Musée de l'Orangerie, home to Monet’s Water Lilies. Inside, the air is hushed and reverent. The oval rooms feel like temples.
The group stands before Monet’s vast canvas. The light blue and lavender tones seem to ripple.
Stéphane:
“These were painted during wartime. Monet created peace through brushstrokes.”
Rihanna (eyes glazed with awe):
“I want to live inside this painting.”
Conan:
“I want to open a waterlily-themed spa. Call it: Monet & Moisture.”
Marion:
“You joke, but Monet believed water held emotion. That’s why he painted silence.”
Scene 4: Rue Saint-Honoré Fashion Crawl
The group walks down Rue Saint-Honoré, the fashion artery of Paris. Window displays sparkle with Dior gowns, Chanel bags, and glittering lights. The scent of expensive perfume hangs in the air like invisible velvet.
Rihanna (stopping abruptly):
“Hold up—Balenciaga just released something wild. I need five minutes.”
Marion (grinning):
“She means forty.”
Conan (trying on an oversized scarf):
“Do I look mysterious or like a rich ghost?”
Stéphane:
“A little of both. Très chic.”
Inside Colette (reimagined for this story), the staff offers champagne as Rihanna critiques runway pieces like a queen on her throne.
Scene 5: Place Vendôme – Golden Hour
They step into Place Vendôme, bathed in the golden hues of sunset. The square’s symmetry, lined with luxury jewelers and elegant facades, glows under the amber sky.
Marion:
“Napoleon once stood here. Now, Cartier and Chanel hold court.”
Rihanna (holding up a vintage ring):
“Well, if he comes back, tell him I already claimed this.”
Conan:
“If I buy a watch here, does it automatically come with a yacht?”
The group pauses at the center, breathing in the moment. The smell of evening jasmine drifts from a nearby planter. A distant violinist plays Piaf, and the city glows.
Scene 6: Dinner at Le Grand Véfour
They dine at Le Grand Véfour, tucked into the Palais Royal. The velvet chairs, gilded mirrors, and candlelight wrap them in a cocoon of elegance. The scent of truffle risotto and roasted duck fills the air.
Stéphane:
“Victor Hugo, Colette, and Napoleon once dined here.”
Conan (holding up his fork):
“And now… me. What a downgrade for French history.”
Rihanna (smiling, raising her glass):
“To art, fashion, and being fabulous in Paris.”
Marion:
“To moments that feel like movies.”
Closing Scene: Night Walk Along the Seine
After dinner, the group walks quietly along the Seine. The river shimmers under the moonlight. The Eiffel Tower sparkles in the distance. A soft wind carries the scent of lavender and distant chocolate crêpes.
Conan (quietly):
“You know… I get it now. Why poets come here to cry.”
Marion (nods):
“In Paris, the soul speaks louder.”
Day 3: Montmartre & Romantic Paris
Theme: Bohemian soul, artists' alleys, hidden love stories
Cast:
Conan O’Brien – now fully convinced he was a 19th-century French poet in a past life
Zendaya – effortlessly cool, absorbing Montmartre’s artistic energy
Jean Dujardin (Local) – Oscar-winning French actor, dry wit, deeply connected to Montmartre’s theatrical roots
Amélie Nothomb – eccentric Franco-Belgian novelist, your tour guide for today, full of odd trivia and poetic tangents
Scene 1: Morning at Sacré-Cœur
The group meets at the base of Butte Montmartre, with mist still clinging to the cobblestone steps. The faint smell of morning espresso drifts from a nearby café. They begin the slow climb up, the air cool and laced with birdsong.
Amélie (wide-eyed):
“Every step here holds the echo of someone who dreamed big—painters, poets, lovers. Some succeeded. Most just lived beautifully.”
Zendaya (running her fingers along the stone railing):
“I can feel that. It’s like the walls are humming with memories.”
Conan (panting halfway up):
“These stairs are humming with my thigh cramps.”
They reach Sacré-Cœur, its white domes glowing under a shy sun. The air is quiet, reverent. Below, the city unfurls like a tapestry.
Jean:
“On clear days, you can see all of Paris. But Montmartre? You feel it. That’s the difference.”
Scene 2: Place du Tertre – Artists & Accordion Music
At Place du Tertre, street artists sketch and paint, their hands dancing over canvases. The air smells of turpentine, roasted nuts, and old books. A nearby accordionist plays La Vie en Rose.
Zendaya (watching a painter sketch a couple):
“This feels like we’ve stepped into a painting instead of looking at one.”
Conan (posing dramatically):
“Paint me like one of your existential crises.”
Jean (to Amélie):
“I’m beginning to think Conan was meant for Montmartre. He belongs in a novel no one understands.”
Amélie (smiling):
“Perhaps a footnote in one of mine.”
Scene 3: La Maison Rose & Lunch Break
They settle into a table at La Maison Rose, a pink cottage café tucked between cobbled alleys and ivy-covered stairways. The scent of fresh rosemary chicken and warm baguettes fills the air. Bees hum lazily around the flower boxes.
Conan:
“This place smells like a poem someone spilled wine on.”
Zendaya:
“Seriously, is this the most romantic lunch spot ever? Even the shadows are flirty.”
Jean:
“Picasso ate here. Legend says he once traded a painting for a bottle of red.”
Conan (deadpan):
“Do you think I can trade sarcasm for crème brûlée?”
Scene 4: Dalí Paris Museum – Surreal Adventures
Inside the Dalí Paris Museum, the group explores warped clocks and dreamlike sculptures. The space smells faintly of wax, wood, and imagination.
Zendaya (gazing at a melting clock):
“This is like someone painted time the way we actually feel it.”
Amélie:
“Dalí believed reality was just one version of a dream.”
Conan:
“That’s why I stopped checking the news. Reality is overrated.”
They pose for photos between floating heads and wobbly staircases. Jean finds a secret doorway in the corner—a tiny hallway where Dalí once hid personal notes.
Scene 5: Moulin Rouge – Glitz & Nostalgia
They pass the iconic red windmill of Moulin Rouge. The sidewalk smells of perfume and warm crêpes, and posters of past performers flutter slightly in the wind.
Jean (nostalgic):
“My grandmother danced here. She said the audience only clapped louder if your feathers fell off.”
Conan (eyes wide):
“I need feathers. I was born for this stage.”
Zendaya (laughing):
“I vote we do a group number. I’ll choreograph.”
Amélie:
“There’s a secret rooftop at the back. Dancers used to hide there for moonlit rehearsals.”
They sneak up through a tiny back stairwell to find the hidden rooftop. The view is stunning—rooftops, chimneys, and the Eiffel Tower blinking far off.
Scene 6: Afternoon at Montmartre Vineyard
They stroll to Clos Montmartre, the city’s hidden vineyard. Rows of grapevines climb the hillside. The scent of fresh earth, crushed grapes, and lavender hangs in the air.
Jean:
“Paris’ last vineyard. Every harvest becomes wine that supports local artists.”
Zendaya:
“That is the most Montmartre thing I’ve ever heard.”
Conan (taking a sip):
“I taste… rebellion, with a hint of overthinking.”
Scene 7: Sunset at Parc des Buttes-Chaumont
They end the day with a picnic at Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, a romantic hilltop park with dramatic cliffs and a small temple. The setting sun bleeds pink and orange into the sky. The city glows like it’s catching fire in slow motion.
Zendaya (watching the sky):
“If this isn’t a movie moment, I don’t know what is.”
Jean (quietly):
“Montmartre doesn’t try to impress. It just exists—authentically. That’s why people come back.”
Conan:
“Is it weird that I’m starting to believe in reincarnation just so I can live here again?”
Amélie:
“Not weird. Just very, very French.”
Day 4: Royal Splendor & Gardens
Theme: Versailles, French royalty, elegance, and hilarious decadence
Cast:
Conan O’Brien – self-declared “King Conan” for the day, dressed like Louis XIV if Louis wore Converse
Lady Gaga – goes full Marie Antoinette mode, complete with extravagant ruffles
Isabelle Adjani (Local) – mysterious French actress, blending royal poise with poetic insight
Franck Ferrand – your passionate tour guide and Versailles historian who brings palace secrets to life
Scene 1: RER Train to Versailles
The group boards the RER train from Paris. Inside the carriage, the hum of wheels mixes with soft conversations in French and the occasional scent of coffee and croissants.
Conan (stretching):
“Ah yes, public transit. Just as King Louis would’ve wanted.”
Gaga (in giant sunglasses and a feathered hat):
“I feel underdressed.”
Isabelle (sipping espresso):
“Royalty travels in spirit, not by carriage. But yes, this train lacks velvet.”
Franck:
“Did you know Versailles once had 2,000 rooms—and only one bathroom?”
Conan:
“Well, that explains why the Revolution happened.”
Scene 2: Arrival at the Palace of Versailles
They arrive and step onto the gravel path leading to the golden gates. The palace shimmers under the morning sun like a mirage—windows reflecting light, gold leaf glowing, and classical music playing softly from speakers near the garden.
Franck:
“Bienvenue. This was once the center of the world. And today, it’s your playground.”
Gaga (fanning herself):
“This place is insane. I feel like I should marry someone just to justify being here.”
Conan (wide-eyed):
“I now demand all of my meetings happen in the Hall of Mirrors.”
Scene 3: Inside the Palace – Hall of Mirrors
The group walks into the Hall of Mirrors, and everything changes. Light floods the room in soft prisms from 357 mirrors. The air smells faintly of wax and age. Every footstep echoes like a drumbeat from history.
Isabelle (in awe):
“Here, treaties were signed. Wars ended. Lovers betrayed.”
Conan (spinning):
“Also, I can finally see my hair from 17 different angles.”
Gaga:
“Where’s the room with the powdered wigs? I need a wardrobe change.”
Franck:
“Louis XIV used to walk this very path every morning, surrounded by courtiers. Every cough he made was documented.”
Conan:
“So he was the original influencer.”
Scene 4: Gardens of Versailles
They walk outside into the vast Versailles Gardens, where fountains leap and manicured hedges stretch endlessly. The air smells like fresh-cut grass, rosewater, and sun-warmed stone.
Franck (pointing):
“Those fountains? Still operated with original hydraulic tech from the 1600s.”
Gaga:
“I want to perform here. Or live here. Or both.”
Conan:
“Let’s make a reality show—Keeping Up with the Bourbons.”
They rent a golf cart to tour the gardens, giggling like kids. Gaga insists on driving and nearly tips the cart into the Grand Canal.
Scene 5: Lunch at La Petite Venise
Lunch is served under a white canopy near the Petit Canal. The menu features roasted duck, truffle polenta, and sparkling elderflower drinks. The air is sweet with the scent of peonies and caramelized apples.
Isabelle:
“This spot once served gondola passengers brought in from Venice. Versailles was obsessed with opulence.”
Gaga (raising her glass):
“To delusions of grandeur, past and present.”
Conan:
“To powdered wigs and undercooked revolutions!”
Scene 6: Queen’s Hamlet – Marie Antoinette’s Escape
They stroll to Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet, a dreamy village of thatched-roof cottages, flowing brooks, and grazing sheep. The breeze smells of wildflowers and fresh hay.
Franck:
“She escaped here to play the peasant. She wore aprons and milked goats while the country starved.”
Conan (stroking a goat):
“So this was the first ever cosplay.”
Gaga:
“I feel deeply connected to her. We both have strong aesthetics and problematic spending habits.”
Isabelle leads them to a secret rose garden, where she recites a poem once carved into the stone bench nearby.
Scene 7: Return to Paris – Royal Reflection
On the return train, the group is quieter—dreamy, reflective. Sunset filters through the windows in soft gold.
Conan (looking out the window):
“That place… it’s like history wore perfume and danced.”
Isabelle (nodding):
“Versailles does not belong to the past. It still breathes.”
Gaga:
“Same. I’m just gonna start wearing corsets everywhere now.”
Scene 8: Dinner at Bistrot Paul Bert
Back in Paris, they dine at a warm, candlelit bistrot in the 11th arrondissement. The scent of steak-frites, peppercorn sauce, and dark wine floats through the cozy room.
Franck (savoring a sip):
“The Revolution may have brought down the palace, but France? Still tastes like royalty.”
Conan (raising his glass):
“To palaces, powdered wigs, and peasant playdates.”
Gaga:
“To wearing diamonds in the chicken coop. Forever.”
Day 5: Hidden Gems & Final Delights
Theme: Secret alleys, emotional farewells, and one last taste of magic
Cast:
Conan O’Brien – now fully sentimental and attached to every lamppost
Keanu Reeves – quiet, thoughtful, soaking in the energy of every stone
Florence Foresti (Local) – wildly funny French comedienne who balances snark with heart
Axel Kahn (fictionalized as alive today) – beloved Parisian walker and scientist, guiding the group with poetic curiosity and scientific wonder
Scene 1: Morning in Le Marais – Where Time Bends
The day begins in Le Marais, where morning light spills through narrow medieval streets. The scent of fresh baguettes, melting butter, and a hint of espresso rises in the air. Stone buildings lean close together like they’re swapping secrets.
Axel Kahn (softly):
“This part of Paris—Le Marais—isn’t just old. It’s layered. Like a mille-feuille made of memory.”
Keanu (touching a wall):
“You can feel it… the silence between centuries.”
Florence:
“Or maybe it’s just the bakery down the street. Either way—je suis émue.”
Conan:
“I finally get it. Paris doesn’t shout. It smolders.”
They duck into a tiny courtyard garden hidden behind a blue door Axel knows. A fig tree shades a stone bench. It smells of damp stone, lavender, and secrets.
Scene 2: Musée Carnavalet – Free Museum, Infinite Soul
Inside the Musée Carnavalet, dedicated to the history of Paris, they wander through rooms filled with ancient shop signs, faded letters, and Revolution artifacts. The air is still, reverent. The wooden floors creak like whispering floorboards.
Axel:
“This is where Paris stores its dreams… and sometimes, its nightmares.”
Keanu (pointing to an old journal):
“That handwriting… it’s like seeing someone’s heartbeat frozen in ink.”
Florence (whispering to Conan):
“If I die here, make sure they name a bathroom stall after me.”
Conan:
“Only if I get the janitor’s closet next door.”
Scene 3: Falafel & Street Soul on Rue des Rosiers
Lunch is served street-style. They grab famous falafel from L'As du Fallafel and sit on the edge of a fountain. Pigeons coo. Children laugh. A saxophone plays from a distant street corner.
Crunchy chickpea balls, tangy cabbage slaw, soft pita, and garlic sauce all mingle in a flavor symphony.
Florence (mouth full):
“This is better than therapy.”
Keanu (smiling softly):
“This is what peace tastes like.”
Conan (licking his fingers):
“Why does every meal here feel like a memory I never had?”
Scene 4: Place des Vosges – Poetry in Architecture
They stroll to Place des Vosges, Paris’ oldest planned square. The arcades whisper elegance. The scent of rose bushes mingles with leather-bound books from a nearby stall.
Axel:
“Victor Hugo once lived here. You can still feel the poetry in the bricks.”
Keanu (looking up at the red-bricked buildings):
“It’s… perfectly balanced. Like it was drawn by someone who loved symmetry and silence.”
Florence:
“I once broke up with someone right over there. He cried. I got gelato. It was a good day.”
Conan:
“Poetry in motion.”
Scene 5: Île de la Cité – Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle
They cross the river to Île de la Cité, where the air feels older, more sacred. The bells of Notre-Dame toll in the distance, echoing off the water. A scent of incense and ancient wood lingers near the cathedral.
At Sainte-Chapelle, sunlight pours through 1,113 stained-glass panels, painting the floor in ruby, sapphire, and gold.
Axel (awestruck):
“This glass doesn’t just reflect light. It transmits soul.”
Keanu (in a whisper):
“It’s like standing inside a prayer.”
Conan (gently):
“Even I don’t want to make jokes here.”
Scene 6: Galeries Lafayette – Shopping Under the Stars
Later, they head to Galeries Lafayette, where a stained-glass dome towers above perfume counters and designer boutiques. The scent is luxury—jasmine, leather, vanilla, ambition.
Florence drags Conan to the cologne section. Keanu wanders into a quiet bookstore inside. Axel buys nothing, just smiles and observes.
Florence (spraying Conan):
“There. Now you smell like heartbreak and a minor inheritance.”
Conan:
“Perfect. That’s my brand.”
Scene 7: Farewell Dinner at Terrass'' Restaurant (Montmartre Rooftop)
As twilight falls, they return to Montmartre for a rooftop dinner at Terrass’’, overlooking the entire city. The Eiffel Tower glows golden, and the streets below pulse like veins of light.
The table is lit with candles. The scent of roasted duck, pear tarts, and fresh thyme floats through the evening breeze.
Axel:
“You came to see the city. But you’re leaving with part of it inside you.”
Keanu:
“It’s not the monuments that stay. It’s the moments.”
Florence (raising her glass):
“To crooked alleys, old wine, and friends who make Paris feel like home.”
Conan (softly):
“I came here to crack jokes… and ended up catching feelings. Damn you, Paris.”
Final Scene: One Last Walk
They walk back slowly through Montmartre, passing ivy-covered staircases and shuttered boulangeries. The city hums like a lullaby. Paris doesn’t say goodbye. It simply lets you drift away, carrying its rhythm in your chest.
Final Reflection – Au Revoir, Paris
[The camera fades in on the rooftop of Terrass’’ in Montmartre. The Eiffel Tower glitters in the distance. A soft breeze rustles the napkin on the table in front of Conan as he looks out at the glowing city.]
Conan (softly):
“Well... here we are. Five days, a hundred croissants, and several near-death golf cart experiences later, we’ve reached the end of our Parisian adventure.
I came to this city thinking I’d make fun of the accents, mess up the fashion, and probably get kicked out of at least one museum. And while all of those things happened… something else happened too.
Paris got under my skin. In a good way.
In the way that makes you slow down, look up at a shuttered window, and wonder what kind of poem was written there a hundred years ago.
In the way that makes a simple espresso feel like a ceremony.
In the way that makes even silence sound... beautiful.
This trip wasn’t just about seeing things. It was about feeling things.
Art that stares back at you. Gardens that breathe. Streets that remember.
And the people I shared it with—Rihanna, Zendaya, Keanu, Gaga, Omar, Florence, and every eccentric, brilliant local we met—turned this journey into something I'll never forget.
Paris reminded me that the best moments aren’t scripted.
They’re improvised in alleyways, whispered in bookstores, and toasted with cheap wine under expensive stars.
So, thank you, Paris—for the stories, the elegance, the weirdness, and the carbs.
And to everyone watching—don’t just put Paris on your bucket list. Put yourself in Paris. Walk it. Taste it. Get lost in it. Laugh in it. And when you leave… take a piece of it with you.
[He raises a glass of red wine.]
To Paris.
To friendship.
And to never trusting me to drive a golf cart at Versailles again.
Au revoir, my friends… until the next adventure."
[He winks, the Eiffel Tower twinkles, and the screen fades to black with soft accordion music playing.]
