    Paris - City of Lights

    Paris - City of Lights

    Paris is the city of lights, though whether that moniker refers to the intellectuals that have studied here from mediaeval times, the Enlightened thinkers of the 18th century or simply the street lights there is some debate. But, as with most things in Paris, their light obscures a dark past, so come with me as we head back to a different, darker Paris and discover her journey into the light.

Love This

This is so informative! I love this sooooo much! Her interaction and some little jokes along the way lifts up the mood so much!

Quirky and curious

I started listening to this podcast in preparation for a trip to France later this year. Amber is a fantastic story teller and presents the strangest and most bizarre parts of Parisian life in a concise, entertaining and educational way. If your interested in the history of Paris that is a little left of conventional, look no further!
