Let’s start easy, with the city that’s fondly known as ‘the Big Apple’. John Updike said that residents of this city believe “that people living anywhere else have to be, in some sense, kidding.” So what’s the name of this remarkable city?
Big Ben might be the name of London’s much-loved bell, but do you know what Ben’s Parisian counterpart is called? Emmanuel! Emmanuel is the main bell swinging in Notre Dame Cathedral and weighs an impressive 13 tonnes. There’s no word on whether Emmanuel and Quasimodo got along though.
