Summary

In this podcast episode, you'll hear me and Veronique Savoye walking along a stunning Parisian street called rue Montorgueil.

It's a market street in the first and second arrondissement. We walked from the corner of rue Tiquetonne all the way to the Sentier Metro station (so south to north). 

We talk about things we see (in real time), how this market street has been changing, and also about Paris, France, the city of Tours, Emily in Paris, and McDonald's and its influence on France. 

We also talk about Vero and her work, which you can find by searching France With Vero anywhere, more specifically: on Facebook and Instagram and YouTube and Patreon

Before we recorded the podcast, we did a live video stream for Patreon members. You can watch the replay by checking your Patreon account and clicking on the top post, or, by signing up today here.

If you want to see more from this walk, we have beautiful professional photos on the way, please check out The Earful Tower on InstagramTikTokFacebook, and YouTube
