rest of us are [Music] asleep the first Parisian we meet this evening is Johan Pierre John Pierre the baker he owns a little B longerie just around the corner from the Rodan Museum in the seventh are in dismal in Paris Jean Pierre's B longerie has been in the family for a very very long time he is one of a long line of Bakers who have lived in this house above this little [Music] bonger and as Paris sleeps Jean Pierre awakes six nights a week Jean Pierre leaves his sleeping wife and gets up in the dead

of the night to make pastries and bread for the res of the City of Lights he doesn't find it difficult it's part of life part of his natural Rhythm as he walks into the bathroom the lights in the the house are still off and he looks out through the window at the sleeping City the stars shine brightly down upon Paris it is winter time and the white snow that sits on the ground below glistens in the Starlight je Pierre loves this time of the day it feels like all the world is his he stands in

the darkness his bare feet touching the warm wooden floor and he feels [Music] grounded he takes some deep breaths in and out in and out [Music] in and out he feels warm inside as he looks out on the cold night he feels cozy if you like he dresses brushes his teeth and descends down into the little buery his first job is to fire up the ovens he lights them [Music] and every day without fail enjoys the light popping of the comforting sound of the wood burning he looks around the kitchen pretty much unchanged in over

a hundred years he thinks of his father and mother long gone now and the joy and life that they experienced together in this hallowed place he takes out his pastry some of it prepared the night before and he starts to roll adding butter as he does this rolling motion he has done a 100 million times before his arms are strong because of it and there's something he loves about it the process the craftsmanship the care and attention to detail that only someone who really car cares about what they do can display as he rolls he

likes to think of it as his morning [Music] meditation it is in a way his way of connecting to something higher he loses himself in it and it isn't long before Jean Pierre has created lots and lots of little triangles that will be rolled up and made into quason [Music] as Jean Pierre looks upon his work over in the Lou Museum Mari Louise a security guard is in the middle of her shift she is sitting behind behind her desk looking at a group of Television screens showing her views throughout the [Music] museum she decides to

walk through the empty halls in fact it's one of her favorite things to do you see Mari Louise is an art student and cleverly got a job at the Lou so that she can enjoy all of the great masterpieces all on her own she walks along the great empty Halls of This Magnificent great and empty building she feels in a way not unlike Jean Pierre that the world is hers at this time of night and sometimes she likes to pretend that the paintings are hers too this building was originally built as a royal residence and

it took 200 years to build as Mari Louise walks through it she looks up at everything around her not just the paintings but the building itself the ornate detail and craftsmanship is astonishing eventually she arrives to her favorite room and yes you guessed it it's the room where the Mona Lisa is by Leonardo D Vinci this painting a masterpiece of the Italian renaal is the best known most visited most written about most sung of about work of art in all the [Music] world it's believed that D Vinci worked on the painting for many years in

the early 1500s eventually he brought it to France and it came into the hands of franois Premier King Francis I of France it has been in the L for over 200 years and of course normally it is difficult to look at it there are so many people standing in front of it but not tonight not for Mari Louise most nights that Mari Louise Works she is granted a private audience with the world's most famous painting as a little girl she had a poster of the painting in her room and in some ways she can't believe

that she gets to see this painting in the flesh on her own every night [Music] she stands close to the great painting looking at the delicate features of this mysterious woman no one knows exactly who the Mona Lisa is is or was she is one of Humanity's great Mysteries a mystery that will more than likely remain unanswered she looks at the brush Strokes and she imagines the hand of the great man Da Vinci working tirelessly and patiently on this Exquisite [Music] work she tries to imagine where he would would have painted it in his studio

in Florence or outside in the country maybe both in some strange Way She Feels was connected to Da Vinci she thinks that we as humans are all connected and that in itself is beautiful it's a thought that was generated by looking at our [Music] and that's why Mary Louise loves art she feels tired now sleepy in fact and she decides to keep walk walking through the great museum while Mary Louise walks around the LOF outside driving slowly through the snow is Laurel a taxi driver luron likes to work these hours when there's no traffic on

the streets of Paris he like Mari Louise and Jean Pierre enjoys the warm feeling just for a few hours that the world is his and his alone he passes the Lo Beau and looks at the building and the Great Glass pyramid outside the thought strikes him that he has never been inside despite growing up in Paris he dries along the great s [Music] River and opens his window for a moment to feel the cool air of the night and to hear the calming flow of the river outside eventually he arrives at lur eel or the

Eiffel Tower he has a ritual every night that when he passes this world famous icon he Parks the [Music] car gets out and looks up at what was a very controversial Monument when it was first constructed he loves this Tower and he looks at it taking in its enormity and Grandeur and every night the thought strikes him that he is lucky to live in this place he allows himself to feel gratitude for the life he lives for the place he lives in for the people he loves and to love him in return he knows that

so many people around the world would love to see the Eiffel Tower just once in their life Theon sees it every day and that privilege is not lost on [Music] him it's cold outside and so luron gets back in the car and continues his nighttime drive through [Music] Paris he has a call to do a pickup at the Ritz someone is going to the airport charl deal [Music] as Lon begins his journey towards charl deul with a businessman in the back roxan an air stewardess is aboard an air front's A380 aircraft flying in from Los

she announces to the sleeping passengers that soon they will land she thinks how amazing it is that all of these people and all of their luggage and this great machine can fly high above in the sky and to travel halfway around our beautiful [Music] home [Music] Earth the thought also so strikes her that nothing exceptional like this happens without humans working together Humanity working together is when we are at our best while roxan prepares the sleeping passengers for landing the pilots prepare the great plane to land and as the plane touches es down in Char

deul and the passengers disembark the plane Jean Pierre takes out a beautiful tray of quason the smell wafting through the streets of Paris the night is slowly blending in today and [Music] soon Jean Pierre welcomes his first customer roxan walks into the boerie and buys herself a Quon she greets John Pierre with a smile and Jean Pierre greets roxan with familiarity these two know each other well soon roxan is walking home eating her cant and Mary Louise pops into the boerie and buys a pan o sha Jean Pierre is always happy to see Mary [Music]

Louise then Mary Louise happily heads home to her little [Music] apartment at Republic it isn't long before luron Parks his car outside the B longerie comes in and buys himself a baguette before getting in his car and driving out of the city to his home in the Parisian suburbs now Jean Pierre's wife brigit comes downstairs and greets her husband with a warm embrace Je Pierre kisses his wife on the cheek and goes upstairs he changes and gets into bed for a well earned sleep he stretches out in his bed and feel so very tired as
