The site I chose is http://recap.ltd.uk/podcasting/humanities/cityzeum.php. On the home page , it has a pull-down menu of 19 categories that each contain several podcasts. You can choose from humanities, English language and literature, math and science, history and geography, and modern and traditional languages to name a few. If you click above you can hear a lot of cultural information on Paris monuments, museums, squares and streets, gardens, statues, and more. It includes information on things to see there, things that are nearby, things to do, and/or which métro station to use. (The Paris métro system can be a little intimidating.) It also includes the address, admission prices, and phone number.
The pronunciation is excellent. It is an UK listed site but, the accent of the speaker is midwestern U.S.
It does not provide further information/links of the things being broadcast, the things there or the things nearby; however, everything is listed for easy searching on other sites. It would be useful to accompany a textbook, slideshow, posters or pictures.
