Hello everyone, let me tell your story. I'm sitting in Sweden in a very small village on holiday.

And someone walks past with like a sweater and it says on the back, Rue des Rousier, Rosebush Street.

And I was like, why earth is that on clothing that someone in Sweden is wearing? That's a pretty small

street in the marais. Maybe it's a brand that I didn't know. Maybe it's a homemade jacket,

I don't know. But I happen to be sitting with two Parisian people who happened to be on

holiday with me. And I was like, what's the deal with that? What's the

chance that that is assured? And they said, well, come on, it must be one of the most well-known

streets in all of Paris. And I said, I don't think so. I don't think that's even top 10. And then

we got into a conversation about which is the

And if you've got time, think of your favorite street as well.

Now, as for this episode, you're going to hear me talking to my two French friends, a couple.

It's Abiola and Margul.

I ask them the same question I just asked you, and we'll hear their perspective from the angle of a Parisian.

And then, part two of this episode, we'll be hearing from everybody out there in listener land

about what you guys think and we'll do a big old sort of survey to find out what is the best

known Parisian streets and then also a list of the favorite streets fittingly here comes

some music from press max and I'll reveal what it is at the end so I don't put words in your
