6.5 The Parisian Flâneur | Charles Baudelaire and the Art of Walking Paris (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What exactly is a flâneur ? It's one of those French words that appears everywhere when people talk about Paris, yet few stop to explain where it came from or why it still matters today. In this episode of Coffee Pot Conversations , I explore the origins of the flâneur through the extraordinary life and writings of Charles Baudelaire , the nineteenth-century poet whose observations of everyday Paris transformed the way artists, writers and travellers viewed the modern city.

Read excerpt
Most visitors to Paris head straight for the Louvre. I didn't. In this episode of Coffee Pot Conversations , I continue exploring some of Paris' most fascinating museums that quietly sit beyond the city's biggest attractions.

6.1 Why Every Parisian Shops at Monoprix | The Surprising History of Paris' Favourite Store (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Coffee Pot Conversations , I explore my slightly unusual tradition of buying a Monoprix shopping bag every time I visit Paris. What began as an accidental souvenir has become a gateway into one of France's most recognisable retail brands. From humorous encounters with Monoprix staff to the surprising history of the company itself, we uncover how a department store founded in 1932 became woven into everyday Parisian life. We also follow the fascinating evolution of Monoprix thr
