The Little Bookroom
is a tiny gem of a website dedicated to selling beautifully photographed and bound books about travel to numerous places around the world, France just being one of them. In addition to these tiny masterpieces of which all are in my personal library, they have taken what appears to be great pains in “curating” a beautiful collection of journals, note cards and literary essays.
If you are planning a trip to Paris, I would highly recommend Pudlo Paris written by Frenchman Gilles Pudlowski. For the first time in its 17 year history it has been translated into English which is a blessing for all of you who otherwise wouldn’t be able to partake in his wisdom. He offers reviews on restaurants, cafés and bars, covering the entire city and in addition, offers information on over 300 specialty gourmet shops. These include kitchen ware, chocolate, coffee and candy shops as well as tea salons. Really an indispensible reference for any foodie going on a personal Parisian food fest.
This little cutie isn’t available until May but I am already standing in web world line for my copy. The Best Wine Bars & Shops in Paris, by Pierrick Jégu is a beautifully photographed collection of the best cavistes in the city. The author points out some of the best wine values and where you will find inventive light meals with which you can uncork your purchase and enjoy it on the spot. Life is too short–why wait. It’s my personal challenge to visit all of them. Some of you should join me. Having this book in your pocket is almost as good as touring the city with your own sommelier. The author is kind of cute though, so it might be a little bit more fun having him along.
OK, this is my advice for today–go to the website, order the books, book a plane ticket to Paris and start eating and drinking. Wow, I should get paid for such great advice!
