I like to think of my site as a resource for readers but I also follow a number of expat blogs and travel websites that offer helpful tips on expat life, restaurants, shops or travel in Paris and France as a whole. Below you’ll find the places featured and/or mentioned in my books “The New Paris” and “The New Parisienne”, favorite spots and services, and other Paris resources. This food and drink list is by no means exhaustive so follow me on Instagram and Twitter for highlights from my dining adventures and keep checking back for updates!
