Boring History Stories for Sleep | The Night Shift at a Paris Bakery | 1900s Paris

A boring history story for sleep - relaxing storytelling for adults, softly narrated, with nothing sudden or startling in it. Fall asleep to the Night Shift at a Paris Bakery. A cozy sleep story for grown-ups: 45 minutes of calm history, softly narrated, with nothing sudden or startling in it. No mid-roll ads: we don't place any in these videos. A vaulted cellar under a street in Paris in nineteen hundred, and the three men who work in it from eleven at night until eight in the morning. A starter nobody knows the age of, an oven with no thermometer that is read by the colour of its own brick, and a city that has no idea any of this is happening underneath it.
