The Archive Hour: The Paris Files

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Forty years worth of correspondents' scripts have been recently discovered in the BBC's Paris bureau. They bring to life key moments in postwar France, including the liberation of Paris, the development of Concorde and the Channel Tunnel, the Paris student riots and the Algeria crisis. Jon Sopel looks through this record of recent French history and examines the lives of some of his predecessors as BBC Paris Correspondent. Producer Tony Grant
