Paris if you need the perfect one-day it...

Oliver Gee
About this episode

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! 

This episode was released early to The Earful Tower's Patreon members, who voted on their favourite itinerary and who chose the winning plan.

For $10 a month you can join them and unlock almost endless extras including bonus podcast episodes, live video replays, special event invites, and our annually updated PDF guide to Paris. 

Membership takes only a minute to set up. Thank you for keeping this channel independent.
