Bonjour, bonsoir, bon weekend. Hey, I don't know where you are or what to say, but I would like to welcome you to the Earful Tower podcast coming at you now from Montmartre in the City of Lights.

This is a show all about Paris. My name's Oliver G. And I, well, I try and meet the people who make the City of Lights shine.

Today, no exception. We've got a good guess. More on that in a second.

But first, if you're new around here, this is, well, it's a little independent podcast where

I talk about Paris.

I try and give you a little bit of the old armchair travel, make you feel like you're

sitting in Paris along with me and the guest of the week.

The show's come out every Monday, and if you like

it, why not tell a friend? But more on that later, more on that later. Let's talk about what's going on

now. I'm back in Paris after a bit of a hiatus in Sweden, and it was kind of, I'll be honest,

it was kind of shocking to come to Paris after spending time in

Sweden where things are very different without getting into all that. But coming back here

and seeing how the city's been affected by, you know, the virus and everything and daily life

and what things have changed. And I thought, why not just explain exactly what life in Paris is like right now.

And who better to help me out than Adrian Leeds, who I'm sure a lot of you guys know from

House Hunters International. She's a real estate consultant. She's a property guru and she's a friend

of the show. She's a friend of mine. So I met up with her today in Montmart.

I had lunch with her.

And then we went and sat downstairs at a relatively new cafe called Farfaloo.

Shout out to them.

Farfaloo, do you guys know what that word means in French?

You can press pause, see if you can figure it out.
