Podcasts on Paris

Hey guys,

I found an interesting podcast on Podzinger today and thought I'd post it. It's by Rick Steves, who is a very well known travel author, and it has great insight and advice for travellers going to different European countries, including France. You can check out the link here:

1st Shopping link bad

The first link under Shopping returns 404 Not Found.

Suggest replacement with http://www.viaduc-des-arts.com/index.php?lang=en

merci

I will update the top of the thread as people post links here. I'll check back every now and then to see if there are busted link reports in this thread as well.

So, if you've got one post it!

Here are the links:

I know the person who started this thread meant well, and making it a "Sticky" seemed like a good idea...but many of the links in this thread no longer function. I'm planning a trip for late February, but not much in this thread has been of use to me.

Perhaps a Moderator should consider editing this thread and removing all of the bad links? Or, alternatively, removing Sticky status, because this hasn't been very helpful, mostly wasted a lot of my time waiting for links to load that never loaded.

I totally agree - I also wasted a lot of time when I first came upon this Paris link that contained a substantial number of non-functioning links. I think this can be a very useful site - but a Moderator is required and necessary to keep it up to date.
