So what is the best-known street in Paris? And if that seems obvious, then what's number two? And three?

After last week's pod with Parisians Abiola and Margaux sharing their take on popular Paris streets, we surveyed our audience for an official answer.

Here it is, presented by Oliver and Lina. Thanks to all who participated. Read some more of the comments here on Substack.

Fitting music this week, again, is from Pres Maxson.

Thanks

Before you listen too far, make a mental note of what you think are the three most popular streets in Paris.

Then listen to two typical Parisians as they take on this unusual question.

Of course, most people would agree on number one... but where do we go from there. Fitting music this week is from Pres Maxson. Thanks to Abiola and Margaux for their voices.
