Solo in Paris
Some go to La Coupole, the 87-year-old Art Deco brasserie in Montparnasse, to commune with friends; others, to dine with ghosts — Picasso, Piaf, Sartre, all former patrons. I went alone, to live in the present. I sliced through an oyster with my cocktail fork, loosening it from its shell. A pulpy Utah Beach, it was brimming with lemon juice and its own slightly salty liquor. I lifted it with a thumb and forefinger, and tilted it to my lips. It was early spring in Paris. Photo “Voilà,” he said. I leaned back against the banquette, bathed in the whir of nearby tête-à-têtes, sipping my Chablis. It was easy in Paris to surrender to the moment. This was not simply because I was in Paris, though it has long held a kind of magic for many Americans. Indeed, the city has a centuries-old tradition of solo exploration, personified by the flâneur, or stroller. To be a sidewalk botanist, one must walk. In the spirit of flânerie, everything — not just museum objects — is worth seeing. I picked it up.

Oui oui, la gastronomie: a little taste of Paris
Every once in a while, the French think about the last supper. Not Christ’s repast with the apostles, but their own last meal; the one they would order if they were going to be shot at dawn. It’s not surprising in a civilisation obsessed with gastronomy. Decades after I first came to France, I am still amazed that one can head out of Paris, drive a few hundred kilometres in any direction, stop arbitrarily at a country inn and enjoy a delightful meal. Each time, it seems a gift and a miracle. French food is good. French children learn early to be gourmets rather than gourmands: that one eats and drinks not merely to survive but for pleasure. In his magnificent Dernier Repas, Jacques Brel sang: “At my last meal / I want to see my brothers / And my dogs and cats / And the shoreline of the sea . . . ” The only food and drink mentioned are communion wine and a pheasant hen from Perigord. How to eat ortolan A favourite meal at one’s local canteen is part of the joy of living in Paris.

Philharmonie de Paris - concert hall
PARIS — A crucial test for the Philharmonie de Paris, the new 2,400-seat concert hall that is now home to the Orchestre de Paris, came last Wednesday with the long-awaited and much-delayed official opening concert. But for the future of this ambitious project and, in a way, the future of classical music, the more revealing tryout came on Saturday. The Philharmonie presented a full day of free concerts, classes and workshops geared toward families in this gleaming and modern, if still unfinished complex, as well as the existing halls in what has become a de facto arts center near the northeast border of Paris. Placing this elaborate new hall on the edge of the Parc de la Villette in the 19th Arrondissement, adjacent to the ring road that separates this enchanting city from its working-class, poorer suburbs, or banlieues, was a bold, some say risky move. Thousands of people, including parents pushing baby strollers, showed up for the concerts and classes.
What to Do in Left Bank, Paris
Continue reading the main story Video While the Right Bank of has seen internationalism and the irrepressible rise of “bobos” (the Parisian form of hipsters) change its landscape in recent years, the Left Bank has been able to preserve the soul of French capital. Walk through the Latin Quarter’s crooked cobblestone corridors or down the grand plane-tree-lined boulevards of St.-Germain-des-Prés and, more than once, you’ll think you’re inside a black-and-white Robert Doisneau photo. Cafe terraces, limestone buildings and nattily dressed locals create a timeless tableau. That’s not to say that Paris south of the dividing Seine is immune to change. Friday 1. The Left Bank is home to cultural, fashion and artistic riches, but one of the best ways to immerse yourself in French culture is with food. 2. You can’t visit Paris and ignore the grandest dame of them all. 3. Continue reading the main story Friday 1. To see the full article, subscribe here. Saturday Sunday Where to Stay
