Ep 80 - Navigating “Metro Boulot Dodo” with Andrew Martin
Listen now
Description
Parisians go about the daily grind just like any other urban denizens. In Paris specifically, the expression metro-boulot-dodo – metro, work, sleep – is used to evoke the somewhat mind-numbing nature of that day-to-day. Author Andrew Martin's Metropolitain: An Ode to the Paris Metro delves into the reality of Paris’ métropolitan, from its beginnings as an echo of London’s Underground to a social and aesthetic touchstone of the City of Light.
