The MetroStop Podcast

In the 1840s, as revolution simmered and foreign armies loomed, Paris built a colossal ring of stone and earth - Thiers Wall. 

This is more than a story of urban planning; this is the memory of a Paris that once feared both the world outside and the fire within.

This is a story of invasion, revolution, war and class divide. 

In this episode we are covering multiple stations all around the city Porte (deep breath) Dauphine, d'Auteuil, de Bagnolet, de Champerret, de Charenton, de Choisy, de Clichy, de Clignancourt, de la Chapelle, de la Villette, de Montreuil, de Pantin, de Saint-Cloud, de Saint-Ouen, de Vanves, de Versailles, de Vincennes, des Lilas, d'Italie, d'Ivry, Dorée, d'Orléans, Maillot, Saint-Denis de Paris
