Ten things to do in Paris in 2026 (Bucket List Update)
This week on the show, Lina and I discuss how our 2026 Bucket Lists are going. Here's a link to the full bucket list that we shared in January. And here are the things we've done so far, that we mentioned in the show. See anything in the main hall of the Grand Rex (we saw Paul Simon)This is the biggest non-Imax movie screen in Europe, but they also host orchestra-led movie showings, concerts, and singalong musicals. Excellent atmosphere from the 2,000 strong crowd. Address: 1 Bd Poissonnière, 75002. Website. Climb the top of Notre DameI always wanted to climb this cathedral, and it's finally open to the public again after the fire. Address: 6 Parvis Notre-Dame - Pl. Jean-Paul II, 75004. Website. Have a cocktail at one of the world's best barsDanico has been rated among the top 30 bars on the planet, totally worth a look, and it's in a part of town full of cool things. Address: 6 Rue Vivienne, 75002. Website. Have absinthe at La fée verteThis place is the real deal, totally worth a look. Address: 108 Rue de la Roquette, 75011. Website. Visit the Cognacq-Jay museumWhile we have visited this 18th-century art collection from Ernest Cognacq, the founder of La Samaritaine department store, it's not our top choice for small museums in the area. Address: 8 Rue Elzevir, 75003. Website. Beef bar restaurantDisclaimer: We haven't visited this place in Paris yet, but its little sister in Gordes (Provence) was simply epic for a cocktail. Paris address: 5 Rue Marbeuf, 75008. Website. I personally am looking forward to seeing something at the Comedie Francaise, I'll do that soon.

Street art, a hidden gem of a Paris museum, and the forbidden catacombs
I recount my recent visit to the Musée de Minéralogie, where Codex Urbanus has taken over with a street art exhibition "Codex on the Rocks". It was quite a fascinating visit to a place I'd never been, and it was wonderful to have the artist himself explain the impressive work that went into this exhibtion. If you're an Earful Member on Substack or Patreon, you can get more information about a private tour with Codex himself. The second half of the episode is a look back at when Codex took me into the illegal part of the catacombs. The music in this episode is from Pres Maxson.
