Paris
Paris is the capital and largest city of
France. The city is located in
the Île-de-France region on the river Seine and has
an estimated population of 2,153,600 as of
2005.
Paris is the most popular tourist destination and is visited by approximately 30 million
foreign tourists each year.
There are numerous places to see in place including
the Arc de Triomphe,
the Basilica of the Sacré Cśur,
the Champs-Elysées,
the Eiffel Tower,
the Grande Arche,
the Invalides,
the Louvre,
the Musée d'Orsay,
the Musée National d'Art Moderne,
Notre Dame cathedral,
the Opéra Garnier and
the Panthéon.
Additionally, another place you will want to see, especially if you have a family is Disneyland Resort
Paris. This is a holiday and recreation resort in Marne-la-Vallée, a new town suburb,
approximately 20 miles (32 kilometers) from the center of the city. The resort includes:
- Two theme parks - Disneyland Park (the main Disney park, based on Disneyland California, with five
"lands" each based on a different theme or time period), and Walt Disney Studios Park
(a theme park based on film and how movies are made).
- An entertainment district - Disney Village - containing shops, bars and restaurants.
- Golf Disneyland - A Disney-themed golf course, principally for adult visitors
but also with a children's section.
- Seven Disney-owned hotels.
Paris is of course also a very important center of business, industry and government. The Paris region
produces approximately one quarter of France's GDP, and La Défense, which is the
largest purpose-built business district in Europe
contains the headquarters of many major French companies as well as 15 of the world's 100 largest
companies. Many international organizations including UNESCO, the ICC and the OECD, also have offices
in Paris.

Product Description: WHEN IN PARIS. . . .
If you’re passionate about eating well during your next trip to Paris, you couldn’t ask for a better travel companion than Alexander Lobrano’s charming, friendly, and authoritative Hungry for Paris, the first new comprehensive guide in many years to the city’s restaurant scene. Lobrano, Gourmet magazine’s European correspondent, has written for almost every major food and travel magazine since he became an American in Paris in 1986. Here he shares his personal selection of the city’s 102 best restaurants, each of which is portrayed in savvy, fun, lively descriptions that are not only indispensable for finding a superb meal but a pleasure to read.
Lobrano reveals the hottest young chefs, the coziest bistros, the best buys–including those haute cuisine restaurants that are really worth the money–and the secret places Parisians love most, together with information on the most delicious dishes, ambience, clientele, and history of each restaurant. A series of delightful essays cover various aspects of dining in Paris, including “Table for One” (how to eat alone), “The Four Seasons” (the best of seasonal eating in Paris), and “Eating the Unspeakable” (learning to eat what you don’t think you like). All restaurants are keyed to helpful maps, and the book is seasoned with beautiful photographs by Life magazine photographer Bob Peterson that will only help whet your appetite for tasting Paris.
Praise for Hungry for Paris: "Every time I go to Paris I call Alec and ask him where to eat. Nobody else has such an intimate knowledge of what is going on in the Paris food world right this minute, and there is nobody I trust more to tell me all the latest news. Happily, Alec has written it all down in this wonderful book and now I can stop bothering him." –Ruth Reichl
"Hungry for Paris is a brilliant book with an almost fatal flaw: the writing is so enchanting you may never leave home to go to any of Alec’s favorite places. Few people know,love and appreciate Paris restaurants the way Alec does; no one writes about them better or with more charm." --Dorie Greenspan, author of Baking From My Home to Yours
“When I was nineteen, I went to France to study, but instead, I just ate. The experience changed me: I came back to the United States, and a few years later, started Chez Panisse. In Hungry for Paris, Alec Lobrano describes his own gastronomic awakening, probably better than I could! This book is a wonderful guide to eating in Paris.” –Alice Waters
“I dearly hope Monsieur Lobrano has an unlisted phone number, for his book will make readers more than merely hungry for the culinary riches of his adopted city; it will make them ravenous for a dining companion with his particular warmth, wry charm, and refreshingly pure joie de vivre. Lobrano is a sly raconteur, a respectful critic, and the very best kind of insider--one who genuinely longs to share all his best discoveries.” –Julia Glass, author of The Whole World Over and Three Junes
“Organized by neighborhood and interspersed with delightful sections on such matters as eating alone. . . . This is the sort of guide you read before you go to Paris… Lobrano tells you what to expect and how to act.”-Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Lobrano . . . fleshes out his luscious prose with tempting photos. Hungry for Paris is like a cozy bistro on a chilly day: It makes you feel welcome.” -Washington Post Book World
“Le Grand Vfour. Maxim's. La Table de Jol Robuchon. None of these venerated restaurants are on Lobrano's list of the 102 best in Paris. And that's one of the reasons I love Hungry for Paris.”-Gridskipper
“A treasure trove of 102 mostly undiscovered addresses… Small and innovative bistros get the lion's share of Lobrano's ink, interspersed with chapters that are autobiographical, informative and entertaining.”-Women’s Wear Daily
“Lobrano is an ideal guide because he remembers who he was, how he became the expert he is now, and how you can acquire expertise. And he can do that hard thing --- see what's in front of him.”- HeadButler.com |
