Hello everyone! It's a brand new season of The Earful Tower, where I'll be exploring each of the 20 arrondissements in order.  So naturally, we will start in the first and we'll start with a bang! I went for an explore of the Louvre museum when it was closed to the public. With me, Maria Pasca from My Private Paris, a boutique tour agency which is the sponsor of this new podcast season.  The museum was inaugurating the room that features the famed Mona Lisa painting, and had opened it just for Louvre members.  Hope you enjoy this episode! The music in this episode included "Invitation to the Castle Ball" by Doug Maxwell. Support The Earful Tower on Patreon here. Find out more about My Private Paris here (and tell them I sent you!)
