Summary
Hello everyone!
It's season seven of The Earful Tower, and I'm exploring each of the 20 arrondissements in order. Seeming we're in the sixth week of the year, it's over to the sixth arrondissement.
Today's chat is with Laurel and Kaysa from Treize au jardin, a bakery and cafe (and much more) on rue de Medicis, right by the Luxembourg gardens. We talk about surviving the Paris strikes, how to make a cafe a home for all, and good spots to find on the Left Bank.
After the chat, it's tour guide Marie from My Private Paris talking about a fascinating historical street in the sixth you simply must find.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. You're listening to the Earful Tower podcast. My name is Oliver G. And this is a show where I'm, well, look, I try and introduce Paris to you. And the way I do that is usually by interesting and entertaining guests who make the city of light shine. And today's episode is exactly that. I've got Laurel and Kaiser, an American and a Swede, who run Trezo-O-Jardin. It is a bakery at the coffee shop, |
| 0:23.8 | it's a restaurant, it's drinks, it's everything you want. It's on Five Rue de Medici, |
| 0:29.4 | which is in the sixth hour this month, and you're about to hear me and them sitting down over, |
| 0:35.1 | well, I'm not going to spoil what we're drinking, but I'll tell you this, |
| 0:38.4 | it's not a cup of coffee, and you're going to hear us chatting about the topic of the day, which is |
| 0:42.6 | not just their lovely establishment, but it's the sixth hour on this one. Now, the reason I'm doing |
| 0:48.0 | that is because this whole season, I'm going through all the districts one by one, finding an |
| 0:52.3 | interesting person from there, in this case too, |
| 0:54.8 | and they're going to sort of introduce us to their neighborhood. That's what you can get from |
| 0:58.5 | them, Kaiser and Laurel, they'll be up in a second, recorded inside the cafe. But more on that |
| 1:04.4 | in a second. First, I want to say this episode is brought to you by My Private Paris. If you're |
| 1:10.6 | wondering what that is, it's a tour group, boutique, |
| 1:13.2 | customized tours, myprivateparath.com. You maybe saw on YouTube that just the other day I did a |
| 1:18.4 | video with Bertrand, who's usually at the end of the episodes. We walked around Belleville for one |
| 1:22.8 | hour at sunset. Really beautiful. We ended up at the top of the hill looking out over the sunset i recommend |
| 1:28.1 | you check it out subscribe on youtube all that good stuff but today at the end of the episode you're |
| 1:32.8 | going to hear from marie she calls herself the heart of the company and she's talking about a street |
| 1:38.7 | where you can escape paris and head into that ancient old school Paris. |
| 1:44.8 | A fascinating street that she says a lot of tourists don't know about. |
| 1:48.3 | But I asked her before we got started to summarize the sixth Arundesmont for us. |
| 1:53.0 | Here's what she said. |
| 1:53.9 | So the sixth is a place first where I lived in. |
