by Lindsey Tramuta, Charissa Fay (Photographer)

Overview

“With inspiring stories, interesting profiles, insider tips, and stunning photos, The New Paris is Lindsey Tramuta’s love letter to her home, proving that Paris is no longer a city stuck in the past but once again at the forefront of culture.

The city long adored for its medieval beauty, old-timey brasseries, and corner cafés has even more to offer today. In the last few years, a flood of new ideas and creative locals has infused a once-static, traditional city with a new open-minded sensibility and energy.

Journalist Lindsey Tramuta offers detailed insight into the rapidly evolving worlds of food, wine, pastry, coffee, beer, fashion, and design in the delightful city of Paris. She puts the spotlight on the new trends and people that are making France’s capital a more whimsical, creative, vibrant, and curious place to explore than its classical reputation might suggest.

With hundreds of striking photographs by Charissa Fay that capture this fresh, animated spirit—and a curated directory of Tramuta’s favorite places to eat, drink, stay, and shop—The New Paris shows us the storied City of Light as never before.

Editorial Reviews

As a native Parisian, I read through Lindsey’s book and let out an enthusiastic, ‘FINALLY!’ Finally, a talented writer who successfully captures the complexity and richness of contemporary Paris, debunking the tired clichés and celebrating the exciting diversity of the city. For anyone looking to discover the real Paris beyond the postcard imagery, this book is a must-have.

In her debut book The New Paris, she draws back the curtain on the city's hipper, more happening side—as obsessed with coffee, creativity, and brunch as Brooklyn or Berlin. True to the priorities of Lindsey's adopted homeland, more than half of the book focuses on—what else? Food.”

"[Tramuta] knows the new Paris better than most Parisians.”

The San Francisco Chronicle

“The author’s vibrant and precise command of English frames this lively collection of insights about cultural change and stories regarding multiple chefs and merchants… Will it succeed? Obviously. After reading only two chapters, I booked a train ticket to Montparnasse station.”
