Saint-Germain-des-Pres: Paris's Rebel Quarter

For many years, Saint-Germain-des-Prés has been a stronghold of sans culottes, a refuge to artists, a paradise for bohemians.

It's where Marat printed L'Ami du Peuple and Thomas Paine wrote The Rights of Man.

Napoleon, Hemingway, and Sartre have all called it home.

Descartes is buried there.

Now bestselling author and Paris expert John Baxter takes listeners on a narrative tour of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, which is also where Baxter makes his home.
