Is My Paris Better Than Yours?
If you happen upon the May issue of Budget Travel magazine -- which should land on US newsstands today -- and leaf your way to page 120, you will find a piece that I wrote, called "My Paris Is Better Than Yours".
It is the second part of their "My [insert-city-name-here] Is Better Than Yours" series, which started last fall with a piece by Charlie Suisman about New York. The approach for this series is resolutely personal, giving voice to one person's love and passion for his/her city.
And my piece is, of course, all about food in Paris! Where to eat it ("EAT"), where to buy it ("SHOP") and what else can be done with, around or about it ("PLAY"). It is illustrated by Marie Hennechart's gorgeous photography and it holds as many of my favorite things as I could possibly fit in there -- and believe me I tried!
Note: For those of you who do not live in the US, the article should appear online in early May -- I will link to it when it does. For the others, I recommend you purchase this fine piece of magazine edition of course!
Update: And appear it did! Here's a link to the article.

Posted by Abby on April 19, 2005 4:44 PMBonjour, Clotilde!
Long time reader, first time commentor!
I am going to pick this magazine up! It's perfect!
I will be in France for the last two weeks of July (for the Tour de France), and this is exactly what I need! Food and restaurant recommendations from a Parisian!
Posted by je suis canadienne on April 19, 2005 5:28 PMUnbelieveable and perfect timing, Clotilde. I leave for Paris today! Hope to find a copy for reading on the plane.

We all rave about the internet and the wonders of electronic publishing, but there is simply *nothing* sexier than print. Congratulations, Clotilde! I'll get someone to buy me a copy. Growbeezoo!

Oh, that's perfect! I'll be visiting Paris in late May - we're taking a weekend trip to celebrate my birthday - and I'd love to read your tips. Not that I haven't been reading your archives, noting addresses.. :) Still - with some luck, the article will be online before I leave. I look forward to it! :)

Posted by Anne on April 20, 2005 6:44 AMI rushed out to the bookstore yesterday to find this but alas! they still had the April issue. I will keep checking though and at least I know that they carry the magazine!
Posted by Just Me on April 20, 2005 3:10 PMi would absolutely love to get a copy, are you sure they're not selling it at W.H. smith or Brentanno's?
Posted by irene on April 20, 2005 3:46 PMJust saw the issue on the magazine stand at my local chain drug store, so it's already out there.
My subscription copy hasn't come yet, though.
Looks like a great article. Not a lot of surprises for regular readers, but it's nice to have all the info in one place.
If you live near Oakland, California, I found a copy at Long's Drugstore, 51st and Broadway.
Posted by Creampuff on April 21, 2005 4:04 AMI received my copy yesterday. Congrats! It looks like a useful article, and your photo is lovely. Now, if only I could make it to Paris this year...
Posted by Zesmerelda on April 22, 2005 3:47 PMCongratulations, Clotilde. I'll go out and buy the magazine today.
Posted by Traci on April 22, 2005 9:27 PMPicked it up yesterday...great article and love the photos, particularly a full page one of you, Clotilde!
Creampuff, I'm in Berkeley and drove right by that corner this morning. Where are you?
Posted by Shelli on April 23, 2005 12:40 AMHi! I'm from Caracas, Venezuela, can`t find that magazine here....Would love to read "Is my Paris better than yours?" Will have to wait until May :-(

Posted by Patricia in Seattle on April 25, 2005 1:07 AMWhat a beautiful article! I enjoy your writting style.
A friend told me about your article knowing I am leaving for Paris in 2 days. I will try several of your recommendations and I'm looking forward to reading your blog.
I enjoyed the article & then came to your website. I loved that you mentioned the Musee Jacquemart-Andre, my daughter & I came across that gem of a museum last summer while just walking around. I loved the personal look into that couple's lives and the salon de the was so absolutely wonderful. I think it may have been the highlight of my trip. It was such a small, personal sort of a place. I loved the chocolate & the raspberries!! Oh, I need to plan another trip.
Posted by becky on April 26, 2005 1:08 AMI finally got hold of this article. It was wonderful and the photography was great, too. Some day...maybe some day....
Posted by JustMe on April 29, 2005 3:42 PMHAH! I felt like a true dunce when I saw your article (which was fab) and then realized I hvae you marked as one of my favorites at Flickr. So, here's to all of your talents.
Posted by Tracy on May 2, 2005 2:00 PMlovely article! just read it online!
