Hello, Weirful Tower listeners, Oliver G here this week.

We have a fun chat about Paris with Vanessa Graal, better known as Messi Nessi, from the hit website and social media accounts.

Messy Nessie Chic.

Now, she's been in Paris for 15 years, but only this month has she opened an actual shop.

A cabinet of curiosities.

In fact, it's called Messi Nessi's cabinet.

It sells all kind of things from books and antiques to Parisian nostalgia.

But the object that has got people talking an awful lot is the little bottles of sen water.

Now, when I say bottles of sand water, I mean literally she's gone down to the seine

from her shop on Rue de Bévre, so not far from the Notre Dame,

she's gone down, filled up a jug with river water, filtered it, and put it in

little glass bottles with wax seals on top. And boy, oh boy, has this got people talking?

I asked her about it. I asked her about Paris, people watching her shop and her account.

And I think you're going to enjoy this chat, which were recorded,

just across from her shop in the little park on Rue de Biev.

Be sure to go into the shop, say hi to Vanessa,

and if you're quick, you'll find our children's books there too.

All of them signed.

So here comes Vanessa from Messy Necky.

This is The Eiffle Tower.
