| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. Welcome to the Eiffel Tower. This is a podcast all about Paris. My name's Oliver |
| 0:04.3 | G. I'm an Australian guy living in this city, telling stories, sharing interesting people's |
| 0:09.1 | stories from the City of Light. In fact, you might say I'm introducing you to the people |
| 0:14.2 | who make the City of Light shine. And today it is a hot day in Paris, so hot that history is |
| 0:19.2 | being made. I've got the window open. You might |
| 0:21.3 | be able to hear the kids from the playground screaming in the background. But I'm also not |
| 0:25.7 | wearing the headphones, the big old headphones, too hot for the headphones. So I don't even |
| 0:29.5 | know what I'm sounding like. We'll all have to just be guessing here. But today's an interesting |
| 0:33.8 | episode. But before we get to it, I want to talk about the sponsor. This is a Thursday episode. That means it's been brought to you by Fat Tire Tours.com and at the end of the episode, |
| 0:44.0 | I'll be talking to you about how I did the walking tour of the Latin Quarter with them this week. |
| 0:50.3 | I'll tell you all about that tour at the end. But just to give you a little something to think about, if you want to do one of their tours |
| 0:56.6 | and they do bicycles, Segway tours, climb the Eiffel Tower tours, it sounds like I'm wrapping, |
| 1:02.1 | out to the Givani, Versailles, everything, you get 10% off. |
| 1:06.1 | And you get that 10% off if you put in the code word earful when you're about to pay for it. There's a little box |
| 1:13.5 | down the bottom left that says, hey, you got a little bit of a code that you want to use here, |
| 1:17.0 | and you say yes, earful, 10% off. It's crucial to me that you do that because it lets them know |
| 1:23.2 | that this is a partnership worth doing. It'll make them think, hey, this Oliver guy's got a little bit of clout, so it helps me a lot. Do that. Now, I want to talk about today's episode with Christoph, |
| 1:33.7 | who is an auctioneer, one of the head auctioneers down at Lucien. And, well, first I should start |
| 1:42.2 | with the story, because it's a good one. About two months ago, I was walking around in the ninth Arandesim, and I should start with the story because it's a good one. |
| 1:44.4 | About two months ago, I was walking around in the 9th Arandesmont, and I'd heard about this |
| 1:49.3 | cartier, this quarter in Paris, called Drouot, which I find hard to pronounce. |
| 1:54.0 | But let me spell it for you, D-R-O-U-T. |
