Summary
Hello everyone! Today we have Emma Jacobs in the studio talking about her brand new book "The Little(r) Museums in Paris".
She lists six smaller museums you should check out in this city, while also discussing her lovely illustrated book.
Now, I'll write all this up in a blog post very soon, but if you're looking for the spelling of these six museums, voila:
Musée de la chasse et de la Nature
Address: 62 Rue des Archives, 75003 Paris
Musée Nissim de Camondo
Address: 63 Rue de Monceau, 75008 Paris
Musée Jacquemart-André
Address: 158 Boulevard Haussmann, 75008 Paris
Musée d'Ennery
Address: 59 Avenue Foch, 75116 Paris
Musée Gustave Moreau
Address: 14 Rue de la Rochefoucauld, 75009 Paris
Appartements de Nélie Jacquemart
Address: Chaalis Abbey 60300 Fontaine-Chaalis
You can find Emma's book online here.
You will also notice that the show has a new sponsor - Fat Tire Tours - so simply enter the word "earful" while booking any of their tours around the world and you'll get ten percent off!
Enter the code at the checkout, right before you pay. Here's the link to their Paris page - and this week I specifically took the night time ride around Paris and the sunset river cruise. You might have seen it on my Instagram stories.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. You're listening to the Earful Tower, a podcast about Paris, and there's a bit of a spring in my step, and there's a number of reasons for it. First, there's an interesting episode coming up with Emma Jacobs, who's just written and illustrated a fantastic book about the smaller museums of Paris, but also there's a new sponsor on the show. It's thanks to them that I'm doing two episodes a week. |
| 0:22.1 | So if you like this show, I guess you can be doubly glad to know that it's going to be popping |
| 0:26.2 | into your phone Mondays and Thursdays from now on for season 6, that is. And the sponsor is |
| 0:32.0 | Fat Tire Tours. Now, the idea is I'm going to do a lot of their tours which are on bicycles, segways, walking tours, cruises, Eiffel Tower, that kind of stuff. |
| 0:41.3 | And at the end of the Thursday episode, I'm going to tell you about the tour that I did. |
| 0:44.8 | And they in return are going to also offer you guys a 10% discount off their tours of like 10 cities around the world. |
| 0:51.6 | So I'll explain that at the end of the episode. |
| 0:55.1 | But if you're in hurry, you used to use the word earful as a coupon code at the checkout 10% off. Done. So I'll |
| 1:00.9 | talk to you more about fat tire tours at the end of the episode. But first, let's get into it. |
| 1:04.8 | It's a topic museums which have covered sort of briefly before. You might remember that me |
| 1:09.4 | and my wife went to as many museums as we could in four days last season. |
| 1:15.5 | And that was a lot of the big ones. |
| 1:16.7 | We went to the Muse Dorsay and the Louvre. |
| 1:18.6 | But this episode is specifically about smaller museums. |
| 1:22.8 | And Emma's picked six of her favorite of the small museums. |
| 1:26.3 | So have a listen. Get some inspiration, and if you |
| 1:29.1 | want to see the lovely watercolors that she's done about these museums, go on buy a book |
| 1:33.0 | or get a taste of it on the Earfultower.com very soon. But one more sort of word of advice, |
| 1:39.2 | some of the museum names of these smaller museums, like they're all French, and so you |
| 1:42.7 | maybe haven't heard of them before. |
| 1:44.4 | You probably know how to spell the Louvre or to search for it, but several of the ones |
| 1:48.6 | that Emma suggests here, very hard to remember. So I've written them in the show notes. If you |
