Hello members!
I’m experimenting here with a Patreon-Only blog post, featuring an older exploration, to see if this may be a user-friendly way to share posts like this. Let’s get into it, leave comments in the comment field below!
The Philippe Auguste Wall ‘Walk Show’
Below is the replay of my most popular Walk Show, where I explored the Left Bank vestiges of the Philippe Auguste Wall. Under the video are some pics and more information.
More pics and more info
During this Walk Show show, people had access to the pictures below. The idea was that if I couldn’t get inside a building, everyone would know what we were missing. (Turns out I got in everywhere… and more!)
Here’s the rough map of the journey. This is a map from many centuries ago. I started at the river, at the top of that oblong I’ve sketched in white.
Every picture from now onwards is from previous research of the wall. If you want the full show, watch the video above 🙂
Behind Doorway 1: The historian’s house
Building 2: Under the post office
Note, this is not my pic, I’ve not been here yet. It’s arched for the Bievre river to run through. Interesting link if you want to read more.
Building 3: Next to the post office
Building 4: Behind the fire station
Building 4: Behind rue Clovis
Bonus: Rue Mazarine car park
This chunk of the wall was not part of the walk show, and internet doesn’t work down there anyway, but here’s what it looks like!
That’s it!
Here’s my podcast episode from when I traced the Right Bank of the wall. Maybe I’ll make a Patreon video exploring that too!
