What does Paris look like in lockdown?

What does Paris look like in lockdown?

Paris has been closed down for over a month now. Me, I'm confined to a radius of 1km in peaceful Montmartre... but was wondering what the rest of the city looks like.

This episode features chats with five friends of the show, sharing their lockdown observations from their respective corners of Paris.

Here are the links to the guests and what they mentioned, in order of appearance.

(From 3.55) Veronique from French Girl in Seattle (who's on Patreon too), talking about Vincennes and the "petite couronne" in the suburbs)

(From 17.58) Jay Swanson from YouTube (who's also on Patreon), talking about Trocadero and the Arc de Triomphe.

(From 24.10) Adrian Leeds from House Hunters International (visit her site here), talking about the Marais.

(From 35.05) Author John Baxter (find his site here), talking about the Left Bank and the Jardin du Luxembourg.

(From 43.50) Boris Petrovic from Paris in Person (find his app Notre Dame Fiat Lux anywhere you find apps - link to Apple here), talking about the 7th, the Eiffel Tower, and the Seine.

That's it! I've got pictures from all the guests, I'm adding them to The Earful Tower site now.
