Paris: An Insider\'s Guide
Join Sandrine Viollet as she takes you on a journey, experiencing life in the real Paris; a ground view of the city that\'s seldom seen by tourists. From informal chats over the dinner table, through market places to the courtyards where real Parisian life can be absorbed, Paris provides an excellent insight into 400 years of the city\'s history.


1) City Of Dreams
In the first of this three-part series on Paris, presenter and art historian Sandrine Voillet reveals how Paris battled through turmoil and trauma to become the city of dreams. From the Louvre to a magical fairy tale park which is one of Paris\'s best kept secrets Sandrine uncovers a Paris very rarely explored. She delves deep into the subterranean labyrinth of the city sewers, heads for a very special restaurant famed for its discreet boudoir lounges and meets one of France\'s great photographers, Willy Ronis. She also reveals why two of Paris\'s most photographed landmarks, the Basilica of Sacré Coeur and the Eiffel Tower, were hated when they were first built, but went on to become the great icons of the most beautiful city in the world.

2) Blood and Chocolate
In this week\'s programme, presenter and art historian Sandrine Voillet, traces the growth of Paris from its origins on a small island in the middle of the River Seine to the world capital of revolution, revealing a city of haves and have nots in an era of the Salon, theatre and chocolate, which famously and bloodily divided a nation. She talks to top fashion designer, Christian Lacroix, about his inspiration from the past and joins a demonstration where she meets a controversial rap band. She also visits the eerie Catacombs, where human bones are stacked high, and the beautiful Basilica of Saint Denis in search of the remains of the victims of the revolution - a revolution that set Paris on course to becoming the world\'s first truly modern city.

3) Bohemian Rhapsody
In the last of this fascinating series, presenter and art historian Sandrine Voillet takes a look beyond the glittering surface of Paris at the underground worlds and movements that defined the city in the 20th Century. She meets the can-can girls at the Moulin Rouge and drinks absinthe at Pablo Picasso\'s favourite haunt. She also meets up with Olivier Picasso who tries to explain just what his grandfather\'s wives made of the way he painted them. Post-Liberation Paris saw a revival of the Quartier Latin - the medieval heart of the university - and Sandrine discusses Existentialism with students, makes a nouvelle vague film, talks pop music with Jane Birkin, and visits the setting of the May \'68 Revolution.
