Summary
Hello everyone!
Meet Felix and Joris, two young Frenchmen who've created what I think is the most fun immersive experience in Paris.
These two guys spent two years writing the creepiest detective story they could imagine, then they turned it into a two-hour immersive experience in the north of Paris.
It's called Live Thriller and will see you running around Paris while getting the heck scared out of you.
This isn't the typical Earful episode, nor is it the typical Paris experience, but I highly recommend it to you if you're looking for a fun and frightful experience to remember.
More on Live Thriller here.

| 0:00.0 | Hello? Hello? Can anyone out there hear me? Good. This is the Eiffel Tower you're listening to, but it's not a typical episode at all. Not even remotely. You know why? Because I did something that wasn't typical at all recently. You know, people say that Paris is all about terraces and the Eiffel Tower and walking tours and cherry blossoms. |
| 0:27.6 | Well, it's not. It's not. It's also about crime. |
| 0:32.6 | Thrilling crime. Murders and immersive experiences. I can stop the music now. Listen, this is a different |
| 0:42.9 | episode of the Earful Tower because I did an exceptionally fun experience the other day and it |
| 0:49.7 | was so fun that I wanted to promote it and share all about. This isn't a, this isn't going to sound |
| 0:54.9 | a bit like a paid ad, but it's not. It's just one of those things that I really enjoyed doing |
| 1:00.2 | and wanted to share the story of it. You're going to hear from two guys today, Felix and Joyce, |
| 1:05.5 | two French guys, young guys, and they worked extremely hard to create an experience in Paris. |
| 1:12.6 | And it's very, very difficult to talk about it without giving it away, as you're going to hear in this episode for the next half an hour. |
| 1:19.5 | But these two guys, they essentially wrote a detective story, turned it into a live action experience where you get to play the detective. |
| 1:27.2 | And when you do it it you end up running |
| 1:29.7 | around Paris trying to solve a mystery and getting the heck scared out of you along the way. So I did |
| 1:35.4 | this recently with three people. If you want to see those three people and our reactions to it, |
| 1:39.4 | I'm about to post it on Instagram stories a little of what we got up to. |

| 1:53.8 | Really, really different. |
| 1:55.4 | And if you're not really easily scared and you fancy walking, well, sometimes jogging around Paris |
| 2:02.3 | and solving a frightening mystery, then I highly recommend you do it. Live thriller, check it out. |
| 2:08.8 | But yeah, you're listening to the Eiffel Tower, brought to you by French Today, the audiobooks |
| 2:12.7 | that help you learn French, more about them at the end of the episode. And one more thing, |
