  • Enjoyable!

    Oliver is a convivial raconteur from whom one could listen to just about anything. His descriptions of sites in Paris are accurate and factual. I often find myself smiling when listening to his podcasts.

    This is by far my favorite podcast of all time! Oliver Gee is an extraordinarily thorough, kind and entertaining interviewer.

I found this podcast a few months ago after the death of my best friend of decades, and hearing Oliver’s lovely voice became a source of daily comfort as I binge listened to the series. In the process, I have learned more French history, geography, cultural customs and even some tidbi... more

Alain Delon and the murder that shook Paris
Q: What was it like researching in the police archives and pursuing such a sprawling tale?

Alain Delon and the murder that shook Paris
Q: How did you first become obsessed with this period and with Delon?

The 18th arrondissement of Paris (with a local)

She suggests exploring beyond the typical sights, visiting streets like Avenue Juno and Sacre-Cœur vicinity, and soaking in local life at spots like Pirates de Montmartre.
The 18th arrondissement of Paris (with a local)
