Today on the podcast it’s a chat with Katrina Lawrence, a beauty journalist and certified Francophile. This Australian first fell in love with Paris at the age of five, and since then her roads have continually led her back to Paris.
We talk about her book Paris Dreaming, which chronicles her love for the French and how the city has inspired her.
It’s part memoir, part journey through Paris, and some insights into the stylish Parisiennes who don’t stop captivating us all.

She also lists her favourite secret passages in Paris, great places to seek A-list ghosts from the past, and her favourite cafes.
Why not switch off for a while and enjoy two Australians in Paris sharing their love for the city?
