This week I'm joined by Boris Petrovic aka Boris the Brain to discuss the history (and future) of walking in Paris.
We discussed the Haussmannian origins of Paris's wide streets, tales of man-eating wolves invading the city, pulling teeth on the Pont Neuf, and the plans for the future of the city.
Also, a special side note, it's my birthday! And to celebrate I wanted to give YOU a present. The book and audio package for just 20 euros. https://theearfultower.com/birthday
