Synopsis

The city long-adored for its medieval vestiges, old-timey brasseries, and corner cafes has even more to offer today. In the last few years, a flood of new ideas and new residents has infused a once-static, traditional city with a new open-minded sensibility and energy. Journalist Lindsey Tramuta offers detailed insight into the rapidly evolving worlds of food, wine, pastry, coffee, beer, fashion, and design in the delightful city of Paris. Tramuta puts the spotlight on the new trends and people that are making France's capital a more whimsical, creative, vibrant, and curious place to explore than its classical reputation might suggest. With hundreds of striking photographs that capture this fresh, animated spirit, The New Paris shows us the storied City of Light as never before.

About this title

Review

'With a local's knowledge but a global eye for trends, the first chapter explores food: the 'bistronomy' movement centred around the 11th arrondissement, how 'le street food' is charming the city, and how 'sans gluten' has made its way into the culinary canon. Following chapters give coffee, drinks and shopping the same in-depth treatment alongside evocative photography. Plus, there's a handy list of Tramuta's favourite haunts in the back. Don't board the Eurostar without it.' Stylist Magazine

'In short: Where we should all be hanging out, shopping and posing in Paris by a journalist who's lived there for a decade.' --Sunday Times Travel Magazine

'Offering detailed insight into the rapidly evolving worlds of food, wine, pastry, coffee, beer, fashion, and design, Tramuta puts the spotlight on new trends through well-woven words accompanied by beautiful pictures of Parisians at work and play. A must-read for anyone who's ever been captivated by la capitale.' Image magazine

'Paris Checklist. Read: The New Paris by Lindsey Tramuta, an insider's guide to Paris.' ES Magazine

'Lindsey Tramuta, a Paris resident and author of The New Paris: the People, Places And Ideas Fueling a Movement advises where to enjoy good food bon appétit' Grazia

'Paris is a city of cliches, which is why it is so refreshing to find a guide book that avoids them and instead takes readers to insider addresses, hip new eating venues and trailblazing producers of food, wine, pastries, coffee, beer, fashion and design. [...] She teams up with photographer Charissa Fay to put a spotlight on what's hot in Paris, and celebrates the city's diversity.' --Irish Times magazine

'Beautifully illustrated with photographs of the people and places that make this city so unique, Tramuta's book goes beyond the Paris fairy tale that we've all heard before and tells a story of a new Paris that is even better and more exciting than we ever imagined.' Living France magazine

'The New Paris paints a lesser-known portrait of Paris, one that is complex but incredibly vibrant and diverse. Lindsey debunks the romantic and fantasised image tourists may have of the City of Light to reveal its true spirit.' --Complete France
