A farewell to the lovely Rue Cler Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

In this podcast episode, you'll hear me and Lina walking along a stunning Parisian street called rue Cler. But it's a bittersweet walk, as it's the last time we will take the walk as residents

If you don't know the street, it's a market street in the seventh arrondissement. We walked from the intersection of rue de Grenelle at the Bleu Olive Cafe all the way to the end of the street on the south side (so north to south).

We talk about things we see (in real time), our favourite and least favourite cafes, restaurants, shops, and so on.

We will also do a live video stream for Patreon members in teh near future. You can get your invite soon by checking your Patreon account, or, by signing up today here.

If you want to see more from this walk, we have beautiful professional photos on the way, please check out The Earful Tower on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube.

In this podcast episode, you'll hear me and Veronique Savoye walking along a stunning Parisian street called rue Montorgueil.

It's a market street in the first and second arrondissement. We walked from the corner of rue Tiquetonne all the way to the Sentier Metro station (so south to north).

We also talk about Vero and her work, which you can find by searching France With Vero anywhere, more specifically: on Facebook and Instagram and YouTube and Patreon.
