In this episode, I finally get to have a chat with Jasper.
Taking place in a local coffee shop to me, we discussed a few different aspects of Paris that Jasper either liked or found a little less to his taste.
We spoke of when this episode was recorded in relation to its release as well as a few other little bits and pieces.
“The next episode” was 1.7 Podcast Production whilst “The one after” referred to 1.8 Avec Claudine.
The London Landmarks Half Marathon website can be found here.
The hotel that we stayed in for the Paris half marathon was the Hôtel du Brabant in the 10th arrondissement.
When we first went to Paris as a family, we stayed at the Hôtel Saint Pierre in the 6th arrondissement.
PSG is the name given to Paris Saint Germain football club where stadium tours can be booked.
The three McDonald’s that we have visited in Paris are located:
McDonald's, 25 Rue de Dunkerque, 75010
McDonald's, 184 Rue de Rivoli, 75001
McDonald's, 208 Av. Jean Jaurès, 75019
My favourite restaurant is Jardin du Roy, located 28 Rue de la Huchette, 75005 - this is where Jasper enjoyed the steak.
Au Père Tranquille is where Jasper had the burger. It can be found at 16 Rue Pierre Lescot, 75001.
He mentioned Westfield, which is another name for Forum Des Halles at 101 Porte Berger, 75001.
And also outside is another restaurant. Myself and Nev ate in this branch of Léon de Bruxelles at Rue Rambuteau, 75001. However, we all ate at the one that is no longer to be found at 131 Bd Saint-Germain, 75006.
We will be watching the Paris Olympics Rugby 7s at the previously purposed built Stade du France.
We are also going to be watching the 3x3 Basketball at the temporary purpose-built arena at Place de la Concorde.
I mention that I may wear my French Abroad hoodie or one-of-a-kind baseball cap when we go. Since they appeared on my show for episode 1.3 French Abroad they have yet again moved - now located at 10 Rue Béranger, 75003.
I am currently listening to Revolutions Podcast on Podbean.

I was enjoying some music, roped in a caller, made her admin and then my microphone went down on me. I tried many ways to fix the issue and in the end, Podbean kicked me out.
But it was fun hearing my admin chat to the people that joined in.

In this episode, after a rooftop visit to a screening of the classic, I take a wider look at the film and explore a little of the historical context.
The book in the intro that I mention is Mummified by Angela Stienne and I bought it at Waterstones in Picadilly Circus. If you read the book, you'll realise why it's relevant on a few levels.

In this episode recorded on Sunday, 5th August 2023, we fall knee-deep into my eldest's perceptions of what it means to be a guest on my show. We cover a handful of topics ranging from his schooling to his thoughts on the difference between a Paris break and a holiday in Ibiza.
A few of the points that I need to raise on this page to put the record straight and make things a little clearer are here:
As I said in the intro, there were a reported 1 million people in the Champs Élysées for New Year's Eve
The "fake champagne" was Champomy and we've still not had the bottle we have at home for after I completed the Paris running trilogy
I studied Spanish for 2 years before continuing to take another 2 years for my exams
Southend (now a city) is on the east coast of England - it's a regular location for Londoners to hit the beach on sunny days
Marta was the name of the lady at the Ibiza beach bar - which was actually the hut next to the swimming pool
Casey Laulala is the rugby player turned restaurant owner (in rue Saint-Denis) (re)turned (to New Zealand) real-estate agent
The Wales v England rugby match resulted in a 20-9 scoreline
Our hotel on our first visit was Hotel Saint-Pierre, which Rory always calls HSP
The hotel where I spoke to the receptionist after the Paris Half Marathon was Hôtel du Brabant
