Podcasts about Marais

D is for Delon, Alain Delon. Author Edward Chisholm is back on the podcast, this time talking about his new book Murder in Paris '68. We recorded this one on location - sitting on the quai by the Seine, directly beneath the Quai des Orfèvres, the famous Paris police headquarters that has watched over the city's darkest crimes for centuries. Fitting, then, that we were there to talk about one of France's most explosive unsolved murders. In 1968, a body was discovered on the outskirts of Paris and identified as Stevan Marković, the former bodyguard and close associate of the enigmatic film star Alain Delon. What began as a simple murder case quickly spiralled into a full-blown political scandal, drawing in actresses, gangsters, and high-level politicians.  British author Edward Chisholm, the author of the bestselling memoir A Waiter in Paris, has written the definitive account of the affair. His new book takes us into the heart of an era and into the inner world of Alain Delon himself, a world of gangsters, violence, and underworld Parisian conspiracies, where everyone possessed their own cold elegance and charisma.  We talked about the book, the Marković Affair, and of course... Alain Delon. The music is from Pres Maxson.  This episode brought to you by The Earful Tower Tours. Come join us in the Marais, Montmartre, or the Latin Quarter.

Welcome back to "The 20 Kingdoms" season. As you probably know, there are 20 districts in Paris, known as arrondissements. They may as well be kingdoms, at least for this podcast season, where I'll visit each kingdom and introduce you to someone who truly loves it. In this episode, it's Australian chef Tom Vickers. He runs a couple of cafes in the 17th, a district he defines as  being a fusion of its neighbouring districts (specifically the 18th and 16th). I met him at his flagship spot, the Inform Cafe, here's what he had to say. Mentioned in this episode: Inform Café - the original 25 Rue des Acacias, 75017 Paris Flagship mentioned in the episode: 11 bis Rue Georges Berger, 75017 Paris  With its high ceilings and view of an Italian-German architecture tower, this location offers more of a restaurant experience, with some additions to the menu, like a short wine list.  Great streets: Rue des Dames, Rue de Lévis  Canadian Embassy Pub: With a dark wood interior and a list of draft beers, here you can get a traditional Canadian Pub experience.  Address: 71 Bd Gouvion-Saint-Cyr, 75017 Paris **************** This episode brought to you by The Earful Tower Tours.

Welcome to Episode 51 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About this episode: In May 2026, a retired couple entered the Kruger National Park to celebrate a birthday. They followed every rule. They knew the park well. They never came home. This is the first murder of visitors in Kruger's 100-year history and the story behind it goes far deeper than the headlines. This is a story of true horror. This is the story of the disturbing and tragic murders of Ernst and Dina Marais.

Updated Re-Release: This episode originally aired a few years ago and has since become one of The Earful Tower's most beloved classics. We're bringing it back today because some things are simply too good - and too instructive - to stay buried in the archives. It started with a photo. A single, damning image shared on The Earful Tower's social media: an 18-month-old Comté, massacred at a Parisian dinner party by the hand of a newly arrived American. The picture went viral inside the Earful community almost instantly, and the culprit, Will Weaver, a Texan fresh off the plane, became the talk of the group. So we did what any responsible France-based podcast would do: we launched a full investigation. In this episode, you'll hear from genuinely mortified cheesemongers, some committed dramatic performances from Earful VIPs, and crucially the full account from Will Weaver himself, the man holding the knife that fateful evening. Yes, we find out exactly what he did, why he did it, and whether he has shown any remorse whatsoever. We also get into the real, legitimate, no-nonsense guide to how you are actually supposed to cut a Comté — because this is a safe space for learning, not just judgement.  A word of warning before you dive in: a lot of this episode is firmly tongue-in-cheek, so take the drama with a generous pinch of salt. The cheese-cutting advice, however, is completely genuine. If the episode sends you running to the nearest fromagerie, the spots mentioned in the show is worth a visit: Griffon Fromager in Paris's 7th arrondissement (23 bis Av. de la Motte-Picquet, 75007 Paris) and we also recorded at bar of the legendary Le Bristol Paris (112 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris). Both are excellent.  The music is from Pres Maxson.  This episode is brought to you by The Earful Tower Tours. Whether you're exploring the Marais, scaling Montmartre, or wandering the Latin Quarter, our walking tours are among the highest-rated in Paris — and the best possible way to experience this podcast in the flesh. The Earful Tower stays independent thanks to its members. For just $10 a month, you'll unlock a growing vault of extras: bonus episodes, live video replays, special event invites, and an annually updated PDF guide to Paris that's worth its weight in Comté.

C is for Carnavalet. Or should that be Kernevenoy?? In this episode, we dive into one of Paris's most overlooked treasures - the Carnavalet Museum, the only museum in the world dedicated entirely to the history of Paris. I share, for the first time, the story of visiting the newly renovated museum before it opened to the public - completely alone - while waiting for the birth of his first son. Plus: the strange story behind the museum's bizarre name, and the remarkable woman history forgot. The Carnavalet Museum: 23 rue de Sévigné (also entered from 16 rue des Francs-Bourgeois), 75003 Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am–6pm. Closed Mondays. Permanent collection is free. Metro: Saint-Paul (line 1) Official website: carnavalet.paris.fr Mentioned in this episode: The €56 million renovation that closed the museum for four and a half years before reopening in May 2021 Françoise de La Baume — the twice-widowed aristocrat who actually owned the building and whose husband's unpronounceable Breton name gave the museum its peculiar title Marcel Proust's cork-lined bedroom, Napoleon's death mask, and a 6,000-year-old canoe pulled from the Seine The music is from Pres Maxson.  This episode brought to you by The Earful Tower Tours.

This podcast episode features host Oliver Gee and his co-host Lina exploring the history and physical traces of the Bièvre, a lost river in Paris. Once a vital waterway that flowed into the Seine, the river was entirely buried and built over by 1912 due to industrial pollution. In this updated re-release, we lead a "scavenger hunt" with a group of enthusiasts to find medallions, plaques, and architectural clues that reveal the river's hidden path through the 13th and 5th arrondissements. A highlight of the journey includes visiting a perfectly preserved medieval arch located deep beneath a modern post office. Oliver also ventures outside city limits with a colorful character named the "Comte de Saint-Germain" to wade through a restored section of the water. Finally, the discussion touches on future urban projects that aim to uncover parts of the Bièvre to help the city combat climate change.

B is for Brocantes! This podcast episode features an interview with Sharon Santoni, a long-time expert on French lifestyle and author of the book "The Art of Antiquing in France." She discusses the nuances of the "brocante", which she defines as accessible antiques that possess a unique history and patina. The conversation explores the cultural importance of repurposing vintage items and provides practical advice for navigating famous markets like the Puces de Saint-Ouen in Paris and fairs in Provence. Sharon shares her personal journey from starting a blog in 2010 to building a community centered on French country aesthetics. Additionally, she shares tips for international travelers on how to identify quality pieces, negotiate prices, and transport treasures home. Key Links and Websites Sharon Santoni's Official Website: www.myfrenchcountryhome.com  This is the primary hub for her blog (started in 2010), her My French Country Home magazine, and her boutique.

Signed editions can be purchased directly via her website on this link.  Antique Fair Locator: Sharon mentions the website, www.brocabrac.fr, which is a helpful resource for finding fairs happening across France on any given weekend Places Mentioned The episode covers several iconic and local spots for antiquing and living in France: In Paris: Les Puces de Saint-Ouen: Located on the northern perimeter of Paris, Sharon describes it as a unique place in the world with over 500 vendors and specialized knowledge in everything from paintings to textiles Marché aux Puces de la Porte de Vanves: A weekend morning market Sharon and Oliver both enjoy for its "authentic vibe." It is known for its urgency, as dealers unpack from cars at 8:00 AM and pack up by 12:30 PM Foire de Châtou: A large, prestigious 10-day antique fair held just outside of Paris In Provence and Southern France: L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue: This town is famous for its antique dealers and weekend markets.  Villeneuve-lès-Avignon: A "wonderful" fair mentioned by Sharon Carpentras: Another "fantastic" fair located in the south In Normandy and Northern France: The Eure Valley (Val de l'Eure): Sharon lives in the Normandy countryside, roughly halfway between Paris and Deauville, near the famous village of Giverny Amiens: A northern city (noted as the home of Emmanuel Macron) that hosts a spectacular fair where selling starts as early as midnight Lille: Known for its massive fair, though Sharon notes it is so large it can be "scary" because it includes items beyond just antiques Notable Details for Antiquing Brocante vs. Antiques: Sharon defines brocante as "relaxed antiques", a mix of items with patina and repurposed pieces, whereas the "antique world" typically involves highly polished furniture and higher price points The "Hand Rule": Sharon advises that if you are interested in an item, keep your hand on it; if you take your hand off and step away, someone else can jump in Suitcase Treasures: For travelers, she suggests looking for paintings, vintage postcards, or palettes that can easily fit into a suitcase One tip she shares from her travelers is to "ship home their dirty laundry" to make room for their antique treasures in their luggage. __________________________________________________________ A reminder: For this new season, we're doing a new take on the A to Z of Paris.

AfriForum has asked the City of Johannesburg to explain a proposed 65.6% increase to its water demand management levy, warning it may be unlawful and unfair to residents. The levy would rise from R65.08 to R107.74 per month for domestic users under the 2026/27 draft tariffs now open for comment. AfriForum says the city must show how the increase was calculated and whether it meets legal requirements for transparency and cost-reflectivity.

Welcome back to "The 20 Kingdoms", a new season of The Earful Tower podcast. As you probably know, there are 20 districts in Paris, known as arrondissements. They may as well be kingdoms, at least for this podcast season, where I'll visit each kingdom and introduce you to someone who truly loves it. That's the whole concept. This isn't me recommending cafes or restaurants in different parts of town. This is true locals telling us about the soul of their kingdom and what they like to do there. The goal is to give you a very real look at each of these districts from a local's perspective.  And for the 19th Kingdom, the second episode of the season, you'll meet Ben McPartland, the presenter and producer of the Talking France podcast, which is made by The Local France news website here in Paris.  He loves this "genuine neighbourhood" of an arrondissement, and I met him at the edge of the Bassin de la Villette for a pint of beer, which he also loves. Here's what he had to say. Mentioned in this episode: Drinks, Food & Canal Hangouts Paname Brewing Company A floating brewery on the Bassin de la Villette with an easygoing, almost London-style pub atmosphere.

Let's take a deep dive into the Paris Rose Line. This is an updated re-release of the time I did another A to Z season, where A was for Arago, the name of the scientist who helped map out the Paris meridian line (François Arago (1786-1853)).  In this episode, I explored the "Rose Line" (as it was called in the Da Vinci Code), sought out the bronze medallions along the streets of Paris, through the Louvre, and into the Paris Observatory.  Featured is the voice of Nicolas Lesté-Lasserre, a science historian and the community manager of the Observatoire de Paris. He showed me around this incredible 17th century institution, which is usually closed to the public.  Find more, including beautiful pictures of the observatory, on The Earful Tower's website.  The episode in this music is from Pres Maxson, featuring an original song called Le Meridien de Paris.  This episode brought to you by The Earful Tower Tours.

It's another new season - and we're doing a new take on the A to Z of Paris. This time, A stands for Arc de Triomphe.

I had the whole thing to myself, did an interview on top - and then made this episode.  You'll hear my wife Lina as my sidekick as I share about 10-15 cool things about the Arch, at least five of which you definitely didn't know.  Find the video we mentioned on my YouTube page here: https://www.youtube.com/theearfultower This episode brought to you by The Earful Tower Tours.

Le 26 avril dernier, à l'occasion de la journée de la visibilité lesbienne, la ville de Paris avait mis à disposition de plusieurs associations l'espace de la Halle des Blancs Manteaux dans le Marais, pour se rencontrer, échanger et créer du lien. Du coup nous cette année on s'est dit qu'on allait essayer un format un peu ludique, qu'on a appelé Questions pour une lesbienne*, et, vous l'aurez compris, le principe c'était de venir piocher une ou plusieurs questions et d'y répondre dans le micro. D'un côté il y avait des questions plutôt classiques et plutôt représentatives du podcast, et de l'autre, pour dynamiser un peu le truc, il y avait ce qu'on a appelé le champignon magique : une série de questions assez absurdes auxquelles il fallait répondre le plus vite possible. Et donc l'épisode que vous vous apprêtez à écouter est la compilation de toutes ces réponses. Vous verrez c'est très brut, j'ai laissé l'ambiance de la Halle donc on n'entend pas tout, tout le temps. J'espère que le format vous plaira, que peut-être ça vous fera rire ou sourire, et surtout j'espère que vous avez passé un joli 26 avril. Merci à toutes les personnes qui ont joué le jeu et qui sont venues parler, c'était hyper intéressant et de notre côté en tout cas on s'est bien amusées. Merci à la ville aussi, aux Gamme'elles et à leurs jolies voix, aux autres associations présentes et à la bienveillance et la joie de l'après-midi. Bonne écoute !

Fraîchement séparée, Elodie pensait ses sens mis en veille. Un match avec Clémentine suffit pourtant à raviver son désir et ses émotions. Très vite, les messages s'enchaînent, les vocaux s'étirent, jusqu'à une première soirée suspendue dans le Marais. De chaque frisson, chaque doute ou chaque étreinte, elle écrit un poème qui garde la trace de cet attachement naissant. Ce vertige amoureux se concrétisera-t-il en une histoire durable ?

Let's take a deeper dive into the 20th arrondissement of Paris. This is an updated re-release of the time we visited the 20th arrondissement as part of our Paris Countdown season.  You'll hear dinnertime singalongs, a cemetery visit, and more about the best pizza in Europe. There is even an interview with a Polish singer called Gosia who had just finished leading an Edith Piaf show at a local restaurant. (She sings on the episode, too, her fave Edith song, which was J'm'en fous pas mal). You can find everything we mention on this post:  This episode brought to you by The Earful Tower Tours.

She became the soul of Paris and, more specifically, the soul of the district we are sharing with you today in the far east of the city. To get there, we are taking a car, and I'm joined by my wife and confidant, Lina,. Lina: Yes, I am ready. Welcome to a new season. Oliver: I'm very excited. I've described my role this season as the Robin to your Batman. Lina: And usually, I am the Batman, of course. Oliver: We want to give everyone a glimpse into this interesting neighborhood where Edith Piaf served as the muse,. Upon arrival in Belleville, we stayed at the Babel Belleville hotel. It was immediately clear that this is a different version of Paris than the one people expect with berets and the Eiffel Tower. Lina: Especially since we arrived on market day. Oliver: The market was busy, bustling, and colorful, with more people than I've ever seen in a Paris market. We were in full tourist mode, talking to street sellers and eating what seemed like an Algerian Korean crepe,. The area is very diverse and immersive,. We also noticed that as time passed, there were far fewer tourists than in areas like the Marais. Lina: The shops aren't catered to tourists either; many were residential or even closed down,. It's a real, unpolished neighborhood. Oliver: Our plan was to explore for the day and then attend a show at Le Vieux Belleville. The 20th is a large district, so we did a lot of walking. We set our sights on Peppe's Pizza, which is ranked the best pizza in Europe. On the way, we passed the Père Lachaise Cemetery, which is essentially the only major tourist attraction in the district. Lina: I used to live in the 20th and had visited the cemetery a few times years ago, but it is just so big. Oliver: No one should miss it because entering those gates feels like entering a different world. However, it is not wheelchair or push-chair friendly due to the huge cobblestones,. While the most famous grave is often cited as Jim Morrison, I went looking for the ultimate hit: Edith Piaf,. Her grave is somewhat unassuming, much like her famous little black dress. After the cemetery, we finally had that pizza, which lived up to the hype with its unique toppings like cheese and marmalade,. Lina: It was delicious. Oliver: Next, we looked for La Campagne à Paris, the "countryside of Paris". It's a remote area with cottage-style houses built on top of old quarries, which is why the buildings are so low,. Our cab driver even gossiped that the previous president, François Hollande, lives up there. Lina: It was lovely, though since it's winter, there were more sticks than greenery. It's a great spot for a 15-minute walk and an Instagram photo. Oliver: That evening, we went to Le Vieux Belleville. We were worried it might be cheesy or touristy, but we ended up staying for three hours,. I managed to warm up the owner by telling him he looked like George Clooney,. Every Tuesday is Edith Piaf night, featuring an accordionist and a wonderful Polish singer named Gosia,. Lina: The vibe felt like crashing a French family's dinner party,. Oliver: We were the only foreigners there, but everyone was dancing and singing together. It was an utterly surprising amount of fun. Afterward, I stepped outside to interview the singer, Gosia,. Oliver: Gosia, that was a wonderful performance. How did a Polish woman end up singing Edith Piaf in Belleville,? Gosia: I started learning French by singing her songs. I adore the "gut" emotion in her singing; she comes from the streets. Piaf is an icon, but not many people really listen to her music anymore. Oliver: What makes a good crowd for you? Gosia: A crowd that realizes they actually can sing along. I know the evening worked if people are exchanging phone numbers and talking to their neighbors by the end. It's more of a ritual than a concert. Oliver: What is your favorite Piaf song? Gosia: My favorite is "J'm'en fous pas mal". Oliver: You also mentioned this is the best district in Paris. Gosia: It is getting gentrified, but it's a lovely, mixed, working-class area where Piaf was born. It has the real life of the neighborhood and an original Parisian feel,. We need to enjoy it while it lasts. Oliver: Le Vieux Belleville really captured the vibe of the neighborhood. My only complaint was that the lighting was a bit too bright,. Afterward, we walked down to Rue de Belleville and visited a bar called Aux Folies where Piaf used to perform,. Lina: That bar has a great "old Paris but young vibe" with neon lights. It's very picturesque, but don't expect fancy cocktails—it's all about cheap drinks and fun. Oliver: We stayed at the Babel Belleville, which has an international, "multi-culti" vibe that represents the 20th well,. The next day, we visited a brand-new cafe called The Dancing Goat, run by a young British guy,. Lina: The cafe was beautiful and fresh. Regarding the street art, it was cool but perhaps not as much as I had hoped for. Oliver: I think the 13th arrondissement might be better for street art, though Rue Dénoyez had some huge murals,. Finally, we decided to rank the district based on five categories: Strollability, Affordability, Sharability, Touristability, and Accessibility,. The Scores: Strollability: Oliver (4), Lina (3) — It's too big and has too many hills. Affordability: Oliver (10), Lina (10) — Probably the cheapest in Paris. Sharability: Oliver (5), Lina (4). Touristability: Oliver (3), Lina (5) — Lina liked the views and the bars,. Accessibility: Oliver (3), Lina (2) — It's quite far from the rest of Paris. Oliver: My total was 23, and Lina's was 26, giving the district a 49 out of 100,. Lina: It failed! Oliver: It's not a fail, it's just a very residential district. I probably wouldn't stay here on a first trip to Paris, but it's a great experience if you've been here before. Join us next week as we head to the canals of the 19th Arrondissement. Oliver and Lina: Bye-bye!

Welcome to "The 20 Kingdoms", a new season of The Earful Tower podcast. As you probably know, there are 20 districts in Paris, known in French as arrondissements. But my brother once referred to them as kingdoms and I liked it. It's true, each of the districts has its own soul, quite separate from the next. They may as well be kingdoms. At least for a podcast season.  In this 20-episode season of the podcast, I'm going to visit each kingdom and introduce you to someone who truly loves that particular district. Maybe they work there, maybe they live there, or maybe they just love it. That's the whole concept. This isn't me recommending cafes or restaurants in different parts of town. This is true locals telling us about the soul of their kingdom and what they like to do there. The goal is to give you a very real look at each of these districts from a local's perspective.  And for the 20th Kingdom, the first episode of the season, you'll meet Abiola, a social worker who looks after kids in the north western side of the district. He loves cafes, good food, football and the 20th arrondissement of Paris. Here's what he had to say.

“Madame de Sévigné” Lettres parisiennesau musée Carnavalet – Histoire de Paris, Parisdu 15 avril au 23 août 2026Entretien avec Anne-Laure Sol,conservatrice en chef du patrimoine, responsable du département des peintures et vitraux musée Carnavalet de Paris, et commissaire scientifique de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 14 avril 2026, durée 14'08,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2026/04/21/3710_madame-de-sevigne_musee-carnavalet/Communiqué de presseCommissariat général :Valérie Guillaume, conservatrice générale, directrice du musée Carnavalet – Histoire de ParisCommissariat scientifiqueAnne-Laure Sol, conservatrice en chef du patrimoine, responsable du département des peintures et vitraux au musée Carnavalet – Histoire de ParisCommissaire associé :David Simonneau, chargé des dessins du cabinet des Arts graphiques au musée Carnavalet – Histoire de ParisAvec la collaboration de :Nathalie Freidel, conseillère scientifique, professeure au département de Langues et de Littératures, Université Wilfrid Laurier, Waterloo, Canada« Dieu merci, nous avons l'hôtel de Carnavalet. C'est une affaire admirable : nous y tiendrons tous, et nous aurons le bel air. Comme on ne peut pas tout avoir, il faut se passer des parquets et des petites cheminées à la mode, mais nous aurons du moins une belle cour, un beau jardin, un beau quartier […] » Lettre à Madame de Grignan, sa fille, le 7 octobre 1677Le musée Carnavalet – Histoire de Paris présente une exposition consacrée à Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, marquise de Sévigné (1626-1696) à l'occasion du 400e anniversaire de sa naissance. Conçue avec l'appui d'un comité scientifique composé de spécialistes de l'oeuvre et de la période, l'exposition se fonde sur le renouvellement de l'approche critique consacrée à l'épistolière et réunit plus de 200 oeuvres, peintures, objets, dessins, provenant des collections du musée, d'importantes collections publiques françaises et de collections particulières.Marie de Rabutin-Chantal naît à Paris, place Royale (actuelle place des Vosges) le 5 février 1626. Issue d'une famille d'ancienne noblesse bourguignonne par son père, elle est élevée à Paris par ses grands-parents maternels, les Coulanges, qui lui assurent une excellente éducation, rare pour une jeune fille. En 1644, elle épouse Henri de Sévigné, gentilhomme breton, dont elle aura deux enfants : Françoise-Marguerite et Charles. La mort de son mari, tué en duel en 1651, la laisse veuve à vingt-cinq ans.Vivant entre le quartier du Marais à Paris et ses terres des Rochers en Bretagne, Madame de Sévigné participe aux cercles lettrés les plus raffinés de la capitale, dont ceux de la marquise de Rambouillet et de Mademoiselle de Scudéry. Elle prend part à l'élaboration de la culture galante qui s'épanouit alors en art de vivre et influence la littérature et les arts.La majeure partie de la correspondance conservée de Madame de Sévigné est constituée des lettres envoyées à sa fille, mariée en 1669 au comte de Grignan et partie vivre en Provence. La Correspondance éditée constitue aujourd'hui à la fois une oeuvre qui figure parmi les classiques de la littérature française et un document essentiel pour la connaissance de l'histoire des idées, des moeurs et des événements de cette période.Au sein de l'hôtel Carnavalet où vécut la célèbre Parisienne de 1677 à sa mort en 1696, cette exposition revient sur la vie de Madame de Sévigné à Paris, à un moment où la ville connaît d'importantes transformations. Le parcours et l'oeuvre de l'écrivaine servent de support à une découverte de la capitale dans ses dimensions urbaine, sociale, politique, artistique. L'exposition s'ouvre sur la question de la présence de l'épistolière dans l'imaginaire collectif et de sa postérité littéraire pour ensuite mettre en lumière la place des femmes dans le Paris du 17e siècle, dans le contexte de la diffusion d'une culture galante.[...] Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode, I chat with Etienne Marais. This is a really special conversation, and one that I think you are going to get a lot of value from.We recorded this episode in person at Zaagkuilsdrift Bird Sanctuary and Lodge. Not only did we get to sit down for this conversation, but I also had the chance to spend some time birding at the lodge and enjoyed some really special sightings during my stay.In this episode, we take a deep dive into the world of warblers. This is a group of birds that many birders find challenging, but Etienne breaks it down in a way that is simple, practical, and easy to follow.By the end of this episode, you will have a much better understanding of warblers, and more importantly, you will have the tools to go out and find and identify them for yourself.This episode is an overflow of years spent in the field, and it is a real privilege to learn from someone with this level of experience.Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-storeIntro and outro music by Tony ZA https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialzaLinks from show:Etienne Marais website https://www.etiennebirding.com/Zaagkuilsdrift Bird Sanctuary and Lodge website https://zaagkuilsdrift.co.za/

Podcast horreur / Un casting qui dévore les corps de ceux qui s'assoient sur le canapé. Un œil violet qui pousse entre les cuisses et voit le désir des autres. Un match Tinder dont les notifications vibrent encore après la mort. Cette deuxième compilation d'histoires interdites réunit trois creepypastas français où le plaisir est un piège et le corps un terrain de chasse — du body horror charnel signé Chandleyr, dans la lignée de Clive Barker.Le Casting Couch : une pièce sans fenêtre, un canapé noir, une caméra fixe. Les candidats croient passer un casting. Personne ne signe de contrat. Rien n'est jamais diffusé. Le studio ne veut pas des stars — il veut des corps. L'Œil du Plaisir : Julien, barman du Marais, se réveille avec un organe possédé capable de voir les fantasmes extrêmes de chaque personne croisée. Un implant du dark web ou une légende urbaine du voyeurisme ultime ? Le Match Mortel : un simple "Salut, tu es dispo ce soir ?" sur Tinder. Un verre de vin. Une adresse dans Paris. Mais ce rendez-vous est le début d'une disparition — le prédateur numérique qui apparaît, efface son profil, et recommence ailleurs.Trois récits d'horreur psychologique et corporelle où la technologie, le désir et la mort s'entremêlent. Des possessions charnelles aux prédateurs numériques, ces histoires terrifiantes prouvent que le danger ne porte plus de masque — il a un profil, une bio, et un regard qui t'observe à travers l'écran.

Aujourd'hui, je reçois Margaux Gripon, la fondatrice d'Okan Studio, une marque de bijoux au design singulier qui s'est construite pas à pas depuis six ans.Dans cet épisode, Margaux revient sur son parcours assez classique au départ — prépa, école de commerce, puis six années chez L'Oréal — avant de tout quitter pour créer sa marque, après un déclic presque anodin lors d'un voyage au Japon.On parle de créativité, d'apprentissage en autodidacte, d'impression 3D, mais aussi de syndrome de l'imposteur, de coaching, et de tout ce que l'entrepreneuriat peut venir révéler chez soi.Margaux nous raconte également comment sa marque s'est développée au fil des années : de l'e-commerce à l'ouverture récente de sa première boutique dans le Marais, des premières clientes aux célébrités qui portent aujourd'hui ses bijoux, jusqu'à sa vision d'une croissance patiente et durable.Une conversation très sincère sur la créativité, la persévérance et ce que signifie construire une marque, jour après jour.Retrouvez Margaux et la marque ici :https://www.instagram.com/margauxgripon/https://www.instagram.com/okan__studio/https://www.okan-studio.com/Production Blabla StudioHébergé par Ausha.

AfriForum sê die regering se goedkeuring van Rand Water se 800 miljoen rand belegging in 'n Zanzibar-waterprojek is 'n bewys van sy misplaaste prioriteite. Die organisasie waarsku terwyl miljoene in die buiteland bestee word, worstel inwoners van Gauteng, Mpumalanga, die Vrystaat en Noordwes steeds met ernstige watertekorte. Marais de Vaal van AfriForum noem die besluit polities-gedrewe en vra die regering om eers plaaslike waterkrisisse aan te pak:

This episode dives deep into a dream many Francophiles share: owning a piece of Paris without the full-time commitment or price tag. In this episode, host Annie Sargent sits down with Marie Tartar, a fractional apartment owner in the Marais, to break down everything you need to know about this smart alternative to traditional real estate. If you've ever wondered how to enjoy Paris like a local—with your own keys, favorite café, and neighborhood routines—this conversation is packed with practical insights. Listen to this episode ad-free Marie shares her firsthand experience owning a share of a one-bedroom apartment in the heart of the Marais. She explains how fractional ownership works: instead of buying an entire property, you purchase a share with a small group of owners, typically 12 to 13 people. Each owner gets four weeks a year—two fixed and two floating—so you always know when your next Parisian getaway is on the calendar. Unlike timeshares, you're a deeded owner, which means you can sell your share, pass it on, or even trade weeks with other owners. Annie and Marie discuss the costs, which range from €100,000 to €800,000 depending on the size and location, plus annual dues that cover maintenance, housekeeping, and property management. For Marie, it's been a game-changer, offering the freedom of a second home without the hassle of upkeep or dealing with a French syndic. The conversation covers the perks of fractional ownership, like having a concierge on call for anything from a broken kettle to restaurant recommendations. Marie's apartment comes with a storage bin in the basement for personal items, and a WhatsApp group keeps owners connected for sharing tips on local exhibitions and hidden gems. Annie highlights the importance of choosing a well-managed property, where a strong developer handles conflicts and logistics, so you can focus on enjoying your stay. They also talk about the lifestyle—imagine spending your days exploring the Marais, visiting quirky museums like the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, and strolling to the Left Bank for movies and meals. If you love Paris but don't want the responsibility of full ownership, fractional apartments offer a flexible, lower-stress way to have a pied-à-terre in the city. Marie and Annie discuss the best neighborhoods for fractional ownership, how to find opportunities, and what to watch out for when reviewing contracts. Whether you're a frequent visitor or just dreaming of longer stays, this episode reveals how fractional ownership can make Paris feel like home. Ready to turn your Parisian dreams into reality?

But when a blackmail scheme targeting a chocolatier leads to murder, Hugo is again called to investigate in the first Paris Bookshop Mystery for readers of Charles Finch, Tasha Alexander, and Lev AC Rosen.Hugo has led an exciting life as an FBI profiler and the US embassy's head of security, but now he's ready to embrace a quieter existence as a bookseller in the Marais district of Paris. His former employer, however, has other plans for him. A prominent American citizen is the COO of a boutique chocolate emporium in Paris, where they've received a mysterious and threatening note. A blackmailer who goes by the name The Shadow wants half a million euros or else their “darkest secret will be revealed.”Eclat de Chocolat is housed in a chateau dating back to the 1700s. The building, which served as a convent in the first half of the twentieth century, where the angelic Sister Evangeline and her order of nuns helped countless orphans during World War II, has been beautifully converted into a chocolate factory. So what dark secrets could a chocolatier be hiding? The COO has no idea.Involving his friend, Lieutenant Camille Lerens, Hugo begins to investigate. But soon a second note appears on the premises, canceling the blackmail threat. The same day, the body of an employee is found in an old graveyard behind the chocolatier. Now Hugo and Lerens have a murder on their hands, but is it connected to the blackmail attempt? As they dig for secrets and motives, it becomes clear The Shadow's grave work has just begun . . .Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Hosted on Acast.

This week on The Earful Tower podcast it's Jake and Holly Barker, two American tourists who were actually inside the Louvre's Apollo Gallery when it was broken into on Sunday.   I met them in the Marais to record their dramatic story.   "When we heard the saws, we both knew that something serious had happened."   It's reported that nine items from the crown jewel collection were taken from the Louvre.    Also featured in this episode was Amber Minogue, our Louvre tour guide. Please get in touch to book a tour with her.   The music in this episode was from Pres Maxson, rather fittingly his take on Elton John's "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters".   *********** The Earful Tower exists thanks to support from its members.
