0:00.0	Ahoy. Ahoy, Ahoy, Aheel Tower listeners. This is Oliver G here and have you ever been walking around in Paris looking down on the Sen River and you've seen one of those elegant, beautiful little sleek, luxurious private speedboats go past and thought, ah, how I would love to be on one of those boats.
0:24.4	Well, if you've thought that, then you're just like me. I've been wanting to do this for a very long time,
0:30.5	and I was looking for a special occasion. And I thought, what better special occasion than an
0:35.6	Earful Tower podcast season finale? If you're new to this show,
0:40.3	I do a season, it doesn't really mean anything, but it's about 25 episodes, sometimes themed,
0:46.4	sometimes not at all like this last season. And I try and go out with a bang. And that's what I've
0:51.5	done here. We took one of those exact kind of boats I talked about.
0:55.8	The company is called Le Batteau Francie, and they do private cruisers, kind of luxurious cruises, very beautiful,
1:02.7	elegant cruisers for just you and your group on the Sen River. And what I did is I took the extended
1:09.1	Eiffel Tower team that's in Paris, got on the
1:13.2	boat, and took it for a 90-minute spin up and down the Sen, and it was absolutely fantastic. So in
1:21.1	this episode, you're going to hear from everyone on the Earful Tower team. And to keep it fresh,
1:25.1	I asked everyone to come with some kind of secret
1:27.9	about Paris that they've picked up over the past year, particularly if it's come from working
1:33.7	with the Earful Tower. So that's what you're going to hear. Also, you'll hear the voice of Clermont,
1:37.4	our captain, with one of his secrets of his own, specifically about the Pondurf Bridge. And all this this was recorded, as you hear, on the C-N-SEN,
1:47.8	on the C-N river, going up and down in a boat, the C-O-R-T-O, from Le Batot-Francé.
1:55.8	A note on the right, the experience, totally incredible.
1:59.2	It's always fantastic to see Paris from the water. The boat itself,
2:04.2	really, really beautiful, perfect for the pictures. In fact, Augusta, our photographer was on board too.
2:08.7	She got some lovely picks, so you'll be able to see it for yourself. It was quite a moody, cloudy day,
2:15.3	which made the pictures even more powerful, if you ask me. And so you can imagine the boat at home. It's quite a moody, cloudy day, which made the pictures even more powerful, if you ask me.
