Welcome back to Coffee Pot Conversations - Season 5!

In this 2-part episode, we embrace the spirit of the flâneur - the intentional wanderer. We trace the history of the Parisian "Escargot" (the snail-shaped numbering system) and discover why the city layout changed so drastically in 1860.

From the bohemian heights of Montmartre and the vibrant markets of Belleville to the posh mansions of Passy, we look at how these former independent villages still maintain their unique "village" feel within the administrative quarters of the capital. We also tackle the mystery of the "unlucky 13th," the history of Paris’s wine warehouses and the psychological boundary of the Périphérique.

All in the Coffee Pot Conversations style.
