What to do in the 15th arrondissement of Paris [Walk Ile Aux Cygnes]

We spent 24 hours in the 15th arrondissement. Here’s what we found.

This video shows a walk along the man-made island the Ile Aux Cygnes. The audio is an Earful Tower podcast episode from the Paris Countdown season, where hosts Oliver and Lina spent 24 hours in each Paris arrondissement.
