  • Enjoyable!

    Love this show , enjoy Oliver’s approach to enjoying Paris - only thing I don’t get too excited about is when you start talking about your children’s book , it’s rather off topic for a travel show .

    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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The 13th arrondissement of Paris (with a local)
Q: How would you spend an afternoon here?
Carpenter advises choosing one or two areas, such as the Asian Quarter or Butte-aux-Cailles, then exploring on foot, visiting shops and markets, and taking time to wander smaller streets.
The 13th arrondissement of Paris (with a local)
Q: What is it about the 13th arrondissement that really speaks to you?
Carpenter likes that the district is unlike the central tourist areas and has offered him a way to experience a different side of Paris since he moved there in 2004.
What to do with kids in Paris?
Q: How do you keep, like, practically, I understand, but if you got three seven-year-olds, how do you, like, keep them engaged for two hours?
Aly explains that tours move quickly, with multiple short stops. Children get a food-critic card to rate what they taste, and the activities are designed to engage both children and adults.
What to do with kids in Paris?
Q: What's life like as a mother in the city?
Aly says Paris can be chaotic, but with some planning it can be an easy city for families. There are playgrounds, welcoming restaurants, and child-friendly museums, though children need to learn street awareness.
Josephine Baker: Who was this iconic Parisienne?
Q: Talk me through one of the walking tours.
The tour starts by placing visitors in front of the theater where Baker began her career, then blends a short historical overview with direct artifacts from the museum to ground the experience, before guiding guests through iconic sights and a narrative arc of Baker's life in Paris.
