I will be in Paris in 2 weeks and I definitely would like to check it out and enjoy a baguette there. Thanks! Sandrine,

Yes, I did visit Hastings when I was 23… to discover a large green field, requiring a bit of imagination !

The Human Rights idea had its roots in France and was materialised on paper in America. American politicians were influenced by the ideas of French philosophers like Rousseau, Diderot, Voltaire, which led to the Human rights declaration.
For example, Benjamin Franklin came to France in 1776 to ask for help with the Indepedence war. There was much interchange.

TO EVERYONE: I’ve added some press articles where you will find more ideas for off-track Parisian walks and other tips ; Enjoy !

Having been to Paris myself. First go outside of Paris and venture to the city of Amiens,a wonderful city. Jules Verne was born here. Now here's my Parisian tip. Ride the metro all over Paris which is something I did. I rode all over the city this way. Each metrostop has its distinct color and flare. But riding the metro around the city or a train outside the city would be an interesting experince. I would do it again but the metro would be one way to get know Paris and her quartiers much better.

I have been there 3 times and will be back as often as I can. Your show lets me relive the wonderful days spent there. To realize I am walking the same streets as the greats of art, literature and reason, puts me to pause. A question for you. When you were talking of the revolution and the great minds that gave so much to the world, you mentioned "The Rights Of Man" as the "touch stone" for the rest of the world. As most surely is was, it did come after the Declaration of Independence of America and in many site, it is noted that the Declaration of Independence was the focus that gave rise to the the French Rights of Man. Can you clarify this? I love your program and the details of Paris. I have been there 3 times and will be back as often as I can. Your show lets me relive the wonderful days spent there.
