If you had a podcast and you were going to interview the Mayor of the Marais about the Notre Dame fire, what would you ask him? The pic above is from when we explored the Jewish Quarter on a Walk Show last year. Comments welcome below, will meet Monsieur le Maire, @ariel_weil_insta, tomorrow. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to walk across the whole of Paris. So I did it yesterday. Here’s the route, south to north, and it took about three hours. I live streamed the whole thing on YouTube for slow TV fans, but here’s the rundown to save you three hours: I found it really interesting to see how distinctly the city changed with each passing arrondissement. The 14th was so empty and big, the sixth so stunning and grand, the marais so squeezed together, the tenth and ninth so hipster and happening. Even the 18th, where I live, changed dramatically between Montmartre and just above it. I’ve got surprisingly sore legs today - it wasn’t as easy as I thought, but I was glad to do it. I’m intrigued now to do it again but from east to west. Got any ideas? Let me know. Thanks to all who watched, there were 500 watching at one point and that was pretty cool! The replay is up on my YouTube channel. #citychallenge #parischallenge #earfultower #acrossparis They said it was impossible - walking from one end of Paris to the other. They may be right. But who cares about them, anyway. Right now, this very second, I’m on the very southern tip of Paris with @jayswanson. We will now walk past the Sacré Cœur and to the northern end. We will stream the first half on Jay’s YouTube channel, the second half on mine. Watch now! Ps: that church is also called the Sacré Cœur. Learning things already!!
