Highlights of Paris: Eiffel and Monet to Crème Brulée

Episode 306 | 26m 03s

Packing the best of Paris into one episode, we scale the Eiffel Tower, then savor classic treats— from steak tartare to crème brulée. We marvel at Monet, Manet and company in the stunning Orsay Gallery. Tracing the sad steps of Marie Antoinette, we relive French history from its bloody revolution to its extravagant belle epoch.
