Enjoying a bottle of wine with friends on the banks of the Seine has long been one of the joys of living in France. No container laws here! But alas, oui, there actually are laws banning the consumption of alcohol in public. Up until now, the French police have simply turned a blind eye to [...]

This week, France’s new restaurant tax went into effect, lowering the TVA (taxe sur la valeur ajoutée, or value-added tax) that restaurant owners pay the French government from 19.6 percent to 5.5 percent. In theory, this should translate into cheaper bills for diners. In theory. So far, though, the French press has reported that very [...]

There is a cute salon by my flat that I regularly pass on my way to the metro called Francois B on Rue des Acacias, and I thought it was a good sign that I usually liked the cuts I saw coming out of the salon. With a special price for those under 26 (only [...]

The end of the French school year is fast approaching. The last official day of classes is Thursday, July 2. (Presumably, it’s Tuesday the 29th for the little ones who don’t go to school on Wednesday.) Thus time is running out to snap a few pics of French school children. For some reason, I had expected [...]

I helped a friend pack a few things before he moved. He lives by the Square des Epinettes, a public garden located in the 17th arrondissement. When I saw the view he can enjoy from his apartment (he lives on the last floor of a 7-story building) I grabbed my camera and shot! As you can [...]

I went to the Galeries Lafayette looking for a new maillot de bain and wasn’t very motivated after spying this super-sized sexy Parisienne advertising her hard body, perky nénés, and teeny bikini. So I’ve decided to take my business elsewhere: to Le Bon Marché - where bathing suit advertising is discreet and doesn’t make La Mom feel like Le Pig!

For professional reasons I found myself last week at the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget in the northern suburbs of Paris, and although my brief was to concentrate on state of the art technology, I did manage to find some time to investigate the distinctive, historic architecture of the airport. It was my first [...]

Les Soldes can’t come soon enough for Parisian shoppers, who will be out in full force at dawn today to get the best deals at all of the fashionable (and mess fashionable) boutiques around town. If you’re smart, you’ll have tried everything on a few days beforehand so that you can just grab it and pay [...]

Reading an article recently, I was struck by a particular point. I may now have put down blood red roots into French soil, but I will always remain an immigrant. The whole topic of immigration is one that fascinates me, especially how it has shaped Paris throughout history, and forced the city to evolve and [...]

I hardly dare write about this place. Is it just a (very expensive and effective) tourist trap or is it still the real deal? Like all landmark cafés, its present day worth is hotly disputed. The famous literary hangout with trees on the roof is still a place of pilgrimage for tourists wanting to catch a whiff of old-school [...]

Doing a little Métro reading this morning (over someone else’s shoulder), I spied this headline: Sea, Foot and Sun: Miami est la paradise des footballeurs. Now, I know the French love using, not only English words in all things hip, but also full-on English sentences. The trouble I’m having, however, is this word “foot”. “Foot” in French [...]

The first time I visited Colette, the much-ballyhooed concept store on Rue St. Honore, my eyes, hungry for objets I’d seen before, glazed eye over at the all-too-familiar. Nixon watches? Current/Elliott jeans? Tim Biskup tchotchkes? There was so much stuff from L.A., the city where I spend most of my time, that it could have [...]
