About this episode

Located on the banks of the River Seine lies the city of Paris. 

Paris has a long history dating back over 2000 years. During its long history, it has seen wars, plagues, and kings and emperors.

Today it is the most visited city on Earth, home to some of the world’s greatest works of art, and one of the largest and most important cities in Europe. 

Learn more about the history of Paris and how a small river settlement grew to one of the major cities in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
