Cool and new Paris

The French Journal

What's cool in the City of Light? According to an article in The Times (London), the line up is something like this: a bistro in the 13th called L’Avant Goût for pot au feu for lunch; the Ritz's Bar Hemingway; Muriel Grateau, a boutique for linens, porcelins, and jewelry; the Musée Nissim de Camondo, a preserved family home redolent with art and antiques; and 3 Rooms, a place to stay, where there are three designer apartments awaiting your arrival.

Should you desire "new," instead of cool, Town and Country suggests that you try out Alain Ducasse's Le Jules Verne, now at the Eiffel Tower; the redesigned exhibits at the Arc de Triomphe; the new showroom of Hermès, complete with glass staircase; ditto, Chanel's new store; and Gordon Ramsay au Trianon, at Versailles, where the superstar British chef will swear at you.
