Grand Tour of Europe

Mit Kevin McCloud erleben wir die Höhen und die Tiefen einer Grand Tour durch Frankreich, Deutschland, Italien, Griechenland und der Türkei. McCloud folgt den berüchtigten Routen der Touristen, klettert über, auf und zwischen den großartigsten Bauten, Ruinen und Städten Europas umher und fällt vom offiziellen Weg ab, um Bordelle, Badehäuser und Trinkstuben zu besuchen. Was für eine Herausforderung die Hitze, der Lärm und das Drama der noch lebendigen Geschichte der europäischen Zivilisationen für die Sinne eines unerfahrenen Briten bedeuten, können wir bei McCloud auf unterhaltsame und spannende Weise nachfühlen.
