Join the Politics and Prose walking tour from Union Station to Union Market, and along the way we will see buildings dating from the 19th century up through today. We will also discuss significant historic events which occurred in these neighborhoods, and see the places in which they occurred; events in the worlds of politics, sports, music, architecture and urban design. 

Join Politics & Prose on an exploration of this unique part of France, Périgord Nord in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, well known for its food specialties (truffles, walnuts, foie gras) and wines (Bruno loves wine!). A highlight of the trip will be spending time with Martin Walker. We’ll spend one whole day in “St. Denis,” tasting wines at Bruno’s favorite wine shop, and then going on to Martin’s house, where we’ll enjoy a leisurely lunch while Martin pours us some favorite wines and regales us with stories about the region.
