Paris: "A City of Ideas"
Paris is a city built on ideas. These ideas coalesce into narratives, myths and stories that form a neural network of urban life. "A City of Ideas" explores these Ideas toward an understanding of how Paris developed as a modern city. This podcast series was created and narrated by Roger Mummert (rogermum@aol.com).

Explore luxury retailing in Paris beginning with Medieval times, when travelers sought les articles de Paris, the superior goods produced there by guild artisans.
We look at the emergence of new retailing venues: the Arcades, Novelty Stores and les Grands Magasins of Bon Marché, Galleries Lafayette, and Printemps.
In this history in luxury retailing, merchandising and branding, the ultimate brand may be Paris itself.
