Greetings fellow time travelers, great to have you with me as we travel through space and time together.

This is a series where we look to the past to see what lessons we can learn from history

and how hopefully those lessons, insights, can help us build a better future.

And God knows we need as much help in that direction as we can at the moment.

Okay, it's now time to strap into the time machine and set off towards the next stop in my

freedom and terrace swirled around us.

Where are we this week?

Hello Paul.

Well, this week we're staying in France.
