The perfect one-day itinerary for Paris

A mysterious email from Will asked for the ideal itinerary for a 12-hour layover in Paris.
Hosts Oliver and Lina went head-to-head suggesting their own versions of the perfect one-day plan.
But who is Will? Could he really be a Wall Street hound with expensive taste? Or a med student who prefers cheap lunches and riding bikes?
We have no idea - but we tried to help!

17:44 “Head in towards the trees." Oops! Too much pollen, maybe?

I took a friend to Paris for the first time and we did go to Luxembourg Gardens first thing. I liked it, she was bored, lol. So we got on the 12 and the 6 to Trocadero to see the Tour Eiffel.

Love this! I could picture it all! I used to live near Paris and I want to bring my family to visit. What is your advice for seeing the city with little kids and a baby?

[@TheEarfulTower]

Funny you ask, that's an idea for a new episode soon :)

I think we need to hear from Will. Is he really a young, less than rich, med student…or a well off day trader? He’s going to be exhausted. He might need a nap on a park bench. How about 6 days in December for a 50 year old married couple?

[@TheEarfulTower]

It will be curious to hear more from Will :) 6 days in December, huh? You're gonna have to give me a more detailed and more fun email and maybe we will tackle it :)

@@TheEarfulTower okay, what’s the email address?

We enjoy your videos, but I have to say … why try and spend half a day in Paris?! As someone that travels to Paris from the US every couple of years, I just can’t see trying to get into the city from CDG and back for a total of 14 hours. While he did not say where he was coming from, the assumption of flying into CDG rather than Orley is from non-EU, and English speaking so I am guessing the US or Canada, which means customs / security / immigration both ways. The quickest we have ever cleared was an hour from the time we deplaned and once it took a nightmarish two hours. Add an hour into town and you are four to five hours into it already. And that’s if the flight is on time! My advice is stay the night and fly out Sunday.

Very good point. We will have to wait and see if Will explains himself :)

[@Varallisuus]

take the taxi...? no no TAKE THE BUS......cheaper

[@TheEarfulTower]

Will seemed like he could afford it. Happy to do a more budget one if anyone asks :)

I really love listening to the Podcast, but IF you tape it I'd watch it AFTER I'd heard the Podcast. It's good to see you and your guest (or The Lovely Lina), but a Podcast is a Podcast.......not a Videocast.
