The 17th arrondissement of Paris (with a local)

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. Come join us in the Marais, Montmartre, or the Latin Quarter.
