1.9 A Conversation with Jasper

Coffee Pot Conversations hosted by An Englishman in Paris

In this episode, I finally get to have a chat with Jasper.

Taking place in a local coffee shop to me, we discussed a few different aspects of Paris that Jasper either liked or found a little less to his taste.

We spoke of when this episode was recorded in relation to its release as well as a few other little bits and pieces.

“The next episode” was 1.7 Podcast Production whilst “The one after” referred to 1.8 Avec Claudine.

The London Landmarks Half Marathon website can be found here.

The hotel that we stayed in for the Paris half marathon was the Hôtel du Brabant in the 10th arrondissement.

When we first went to Paris as a family, we stayed at the Hôtel Saint Pierre in the 6th arrondissement.

PSG is the name given to Paris Saint Germain football club where stadium tours can be booked.

The three McDonald’s that we have visited in Paris are located:

• McDonald's, 25 Rue de Dunkerque, 75010

• McDonald's, 184 Rue de Rivoli, 75001

• McDonald's, 208 Av. Jean Jaurès, 75019

My favourite restaurant is Jardin du Roy, located 28 Rue de la Huchette, 75005 - this is where Jasper enjoyed the steak.

Au Père Tranquille is where Jasper had the burger. It can be found at 16 Rue Pierre Lescot, 75001.

He mentioned Westfield, which is another name for Forum Des Halles at 101 Porte Berger, 75001.

And also outside is another restaurant. Myself and Nev ate in this branch of Léon de Bruxelles at Rue Rambuteau, 75001. However, we all ate at the one that is no longer to be found at 131 Bd Saint-Germain, 75006.

We will be watching the Paris Olympics Rugby 7s at the previously purposed built Stade du France.

We are also going to be watching the 3x3 Basketball at the temporary purpose-built arena at Place de la Concorde.

I mention that I may wear my French Abroad hoodie or one-of-a-kind baseball cap when we go. Since they appeared on my show for episode 1.3 French Abroad they have yet again moved - now located at 10 Rue Béranger, 75003.

I am currently listening to Revolutions Podcast on Podbean.
