Summary
This week we're joined by Adam Roberts from the Invisible Paris blog.
It's thanks to Adam that I learned about chasses roues (pictured below), which I blogged about before here.
He's also the guy who inspired me to head out to the "human zoo" at the eastern edge of Paris. More on this over the weekend.
And in case you're wondering, here's the link to the blog post he wrote after he found the "pont neuf postcard".
Adam blogs all about Paris here, and has just published a book about the city, "Paris, Cityscopes".
Big news next week - stay tuned.
