Surely every tour of Paris should start in the heart of the city, on the two islands which were where the very first settlers made their home, the \xcele St Louis and the \xcele de la Cit\xe9. We visit the city's oldest buildings, the Conciergerie and the beautiful Sainte Chapelle Church, linger a little on the Pont Neuf (actually the city's oldest bridge) and, finally, hear the poignant tale of Paris' best-known lovers, the 12th century philosophy teacher Abelard and the girl who stole his heart, H\xe9loise.\nhttps://www.citybreakspodcast.co.uk
