Summary

We are leaving Montmartre!

It's been a wonderful two years in our little apartment overlooking Paris, but this chapter is now over. 

To mark the occasion, Lina and I took one last walk around our old neighbourhood, with microphone in hand. 

If you close your eyes, you can probably imagine that you're walking the cobbled streets with us. 

Where in Paris will we be next? Well, you'll have to keep listening :)

And our neighbourhood in Montmartre was the setting for the final chapter in my book, Paris On Air. You can order a copy here: https://theearfultower.com/memoir
