Blood and Chocolate

Art historian Sandrine Voillet continues her history of Paris, from its origins on a small island in the River Seine to its emergence as a hotbed of revolution. It is a story of elegant squares and romantic bridges, mean streets and sexual excess, cafes and conversation, chocolate and high fashion, guillotines and liberty. In this episode, Sandrine meets top fashion designer Christian Lacroix, leading porn star Ovidie and rebel rap band Sniper.
