0:00.0 | Hello everyone. My name's Oliver G. You're listening to the Earful Tower podcast, a show where |
0:05.1 | every week I try and take you through Paris, show you an interesting character, show you an |
0:09.9 | interesting part of the city. This week, absolutely no different. We've got a good one this week. |
0:14.8 | It's Marie from my private Paris. She's a tour guide. She's, well, look, she said to me she knows this city inside |
0:21.9 | out, upside down, back to front. She says she knows every single cobblestone of the city. But when I |
0:28.7 | asked her about her favorite Aeron Desmond, she said, number five, which is fortunate because |
0:34.3 | that's what we're going to be talking about today. In fact, what we're going to be doing is talking about five things to find in the fifth arrondissement, according to Marie, |
0:42.7 | a French tour guide, a Parisian tour guide, who used to study there at the Sorbonne. We talk about |
0:47.8 | all that, but first a little word from the sponsor, which is incidentally, my private Paris. |
0:54.0 | If you're new around here, if you're brand new, you won't know anything that's going on. |
0:57.9 | Let me just explain it. |
0:59.2 | This season, the 20 episodes, there might be a few bonuses. |
1:03.4 | Like Friday, we had the Sen River with Elaine Chilino. |
1:05.9 | There might be a few bonuses, but let's say 20 for now. |
1:08.6 | I'm going through every hour on this month, one to 20, with some kind of expert on each of those districts talking about it. So you heard in recent weeks we had the Picasso Museum curator in the third, we had the mayor of the fourth, and this season is sponsored by my private Paris. They'll be on at the end of every episode. You guys who listen regularly will have heard |
1:27.7 | Bertrand already. He's the brains of the company, but today you're going to meet the heart |
1:32.8 | of the company. That's not my words. That's Marie's words. You're going to hear her say it in just a |
1:37.9 | second. But my private Paris, what is it? It's like a boutique tour agency, they will give you custom itineries, they'll help you out, they'll |
1:45.0 | show you Paris like you've never seen it, and I haven't really talked about them so much yet, |
1:49.0 | sort of what they'll do for you, but if you go on their website, myprivateparis.com, |
1:54.0 | one of the first things that pops up is that you can request a custom it |
1:58.0 | you can click through it, they'll take the hassle out of the trip. |
