One of the most exquisite ways to explore a country is through its cuisine. Certainly whenever WIJW plans to travel, we put quite a bit of effort into discovering those restaurants with a rich history, beautiful decoration, and of course, the finest cuisine—which leads us to the most beautiful new book, A Gourmet Tour of France: Legendary Restaurants from Paris to the Cote d’Azur.
To say the least, Gilles Pudlowski’s book (along with delicious photographs by Maurice Rougemont) has been hugely helpful in the planning stage for our upcoming October trip to Paris—would it be too vulgar to say we are nearly salivating in anticipation?

Of course, even if you’re not planning to visit France soon, A Gourmet Tour of France: Legendary Restaurants from Paris to the Cote d’Azur is the perfect vicarious adventure for any gourmand—there are even a couple of recipes from the masters included to complete the fantasy!
James,
Tice loved Le Grand Vefour, and always went there when he was in Paris. He always stayed at the Ritz, on the Vendome side, since his friend Dodi Al Fayed was associated with it. As for me, I stayed last time at a “boutique” hotel called Caron de Beaumarchais, in the Marais, which we enjoyed very much. I have many friends who keep flats in Paris and London as well. Bon Voyage mon ami!
Monsieur Dean
Looking forward to sharing with you a nice lunch in Paris, I hope that your dates will fit with the appointments I try to organize for you.
Bon voyage et bienvenue à WIJW?
