NEW VIDEO!
In a northwest Paris suburb is a half-demolished old stadium.
If you didn't know, you'd never guess it once hosted the Olympic Games. The World Cup Final. And a football team who were once the biggest in France.

@nicolehill I am, I don't have much choice to be anywhere else at the moment! Things generally good thanks apart from the obvious :) Hope you and the gang are ok in Brussels? Cannot wait for the day when we can catch up on everything over a drink at Copain

Nice pics though! Looks well worth the extra 200m :)
New video over on YouTube! Many countries have borders on rivers, but what happens to those borders when the river changes course? Spoiler: total carnage. I went to this absolute farce of a border between France & Belgium to find out more...

New video over on YT! After WW2, Germany was split in two: East, and West. And Saarland. Wait, what?
As Germany prepares to toast 30 years of Reunification, I went to investigate their "other" reunification - the forgotten story of independent Saarland.

NEW TRAVEL VIDEO! How do you hide a deadly military fortress? Well if you're Swiss, you paint it pastel pink and pretend it's a harmless family home. I went to the shores of Lake Geneva to discover the story behind La Villa Rose...

This looks amazing though! Fantastic work putting it together
NEW TRAVEL VIDEO! The Hotel Arbez boasts an almost unique feature: an international border running straight through it. Why was it built there? And how did it end up saving hundreds of lives during WWII? I went to the Jura mountains to find out more...
