Let's explore the Cimetiere du Calvaire, which is the oldest cemetery in Paris and surely the hardest to get inside.
How did we get in? Well, today's guest Eric Lejoindre - the Mayor of Montmartre - happens to have a key. Or at least, he knows the man with the key, father Alexandre Denis, who also features in this "on the go" episode.
All three of us visited the cemetery for the first time as part of this Earful Tower podcast episode - hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
