14670703_10154677778223711_3275153008144174367_nThis week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from the Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris. Joining Peter will be Elaine Sciolino from The New York Times with a situation report on the year after the Paris nightclub shooting and what travelers need to know. Sciolino’s new book, The Only Street in Paris: Life on the Rue des Martyrs, is a great place to start. We’ll also get a report from the American Red Cross. The special ship, Responder, helps refugees in the Mediterranean. We’ll tell you how you can help. Roger Dow, President and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, will explain how the 2016 election has already started to affect travel and what the changes will most likely be over the course of the next year. Laurant Poncelet, Concierge at Hotel Plaza Athénée, shares some of the more unusual requests he’s received from guests—from baby lions to a charter jet flight in search of a kilo of white truffles. Catherine Down, Ciao Down Editor and American expat, will talk about secret French cheeses and how to find them. Othman Nasrou, Vice-président de la Région Île-de-France, takes on the topic of the decline of tourism after the terrorist attacks and how smart travelers can benefit. There’s all of this and more as the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from the Hotel Plaza Athénée in Paris.
