    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.

Can’t get enough of your stories

I listened to the episode on Delacroix’s ear before a trip to Paris and so glad I did. My hotel was a few blocks from his delightful museum/studio so it was my first stop on day one. Thanks to you, after that, I came across Delacroix in so many places around Paris this time. I eagerly await your next episode in whatever you find to share.

More fun facts for this Francophile!

While I’m Paris last week, my tour manager, Susana, told me about this wonderful podcast, and I’m hooked!! I’ve binged nearly half of the episodes in a week (while running, cleaning, doing dishes… I just can’t stop!)

EiBa! ,

Living History!

Tune in to discover delicious details of Paris and its inhabitants. Amber’s knowledge and enthusiasm are a joy. Storytelling at its finest!
