“[Tramuta] draws back the curtain on the city’s hipper, more happening side—as obsessed with coffee, creativity, and brunch as Brooklyn or Berlin.” —My Little Paris

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. Tramuta 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 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.

“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.” —Forbes

“As the culinary scene in Paris evolves, a new palate of flavors and styles of eating have emerged, redefining what is ‘French cuisine.’ The New Paris documents these changes through the lens of bakers, coffee roasters, ice cream makers, chefs, and even food truck owners. A thoughtful, and delicious, look at how Paris continues to delight and excite the palates of visitors and locals.” —David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen

Review

“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.”
―Forbes

"[Tramuta] knows the new Paris better than most Parisians.” ―The San Francisco Chronicle

“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.”
―My Little Paris

“In her new book, Francophile Lindsey Tramuta captures the heart of the modern French city.”
―Domino.com

"Whether you live in Paris, know it well, visit rarely, or only dream of the city, Lindsey Tramuta’s gorgeous book will make you see Paris in a new way. Here’s your chance to meet the people who are setting today’s standards on the food scene, changing the way we drink everything—from craft beer to coffee—enjoy pastries, and even shop for our homes. Lindsey’s research into the city’s revolution is our revelation.”―Dorie Greenspan, award-winning author of Around My French Table and Dorie’s Cookies

“As the culinary scene in Paris evolves, a new palate of flavors and styles of eating have emerged, redefining what is “French cuisine.” The New Paris documents these changes through the lens of bakers, coffee roasters, ice cream makers, chefs, and even food truck owners. A thoughtful, and delicious, look at how Paris continues to delight and excite the palates of visitors and locals.”―David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen

“What Lindsey has shown is that Paris is eternal, and what is classic and old can be new again, excite and stimulate us, influence and challenge us, transform us, make us young and revitalized all over again. Bravo!”―Patricia Wells, author of The Food Lover’s Guide to Paris

“Nobody gets Paris like Lindsey Tramuta. This deeply felt, beautifully wrought book is as essential to understanding its new energy as your passport.”―Lauren Collins, author of When in French and staff writer at The New Yorker

“Lindsey Tramuta deftly redirects Paris’s iconic light, illuminating its surprising future and the rising stars who will define it.”―Nichole Robertson, author of Paris in Color

“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.”―Clotilde Dusoulier, author of The French Market Cookbook and the blog Chocolate and Zucchini

“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. She will leave you eager to book the next flight out.” ―Kristen Beddard, author Bonjour Kale: A Memoir of Paris, Love and Recipes

Discovering Paris in today's world.
Lindsey delivers an amazing view of what Paris is for people today. She visits lots of artists in food, dining, crafts and so much more that are the lifeblood of what makes Paris, Paris. I received this book as a gift prior to a trip to Paris with my husband for our 30 year anniversary. It was so great visiting all the places in this book after having read about them. Reading Lindsey's book was pleasant homework as it made us feel so much more at home when we finally got to Paris. It felt so much more inclusive. The New Paris is a pleasant read into the lives of small shop owners in Paris and how they all create a warm and inviting way of living. A must read prior to a trip to Paris!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Paris you want to visit from an insiders point of view.

SO happy with this purchase! I frequented a lot of the spots listed in The New Paris before I read the book but found so many new places I want to visit next time. Honestly, it is very thorough with GREAT writing and I was unexpectedly transported to the author's world. For any Francophile out there or for someone who wants a beautiful coffee table book (the spine is yellow just so you know), this is a great addition to anyone's collection. Lindsey takes you to Paris with a bird's eye view, the local perspective. The book sort of serves for a beautiful representation of the places we got to visit as well.

On a more important note, the places she recommends are places where I felt like I belonged/was most welcome. Although I would like to just walk into any shop as a visitor and feel 100% comfortable, the mentioned cafés or restaurants she lists ( i.e. Holy Belly, Cafe Oberkampf, Septime, Boot Café) are places where I could still pretend I was fluent in French and not feel like I was an annoying tourist.

As I mentioned above, her writing is also impeccable and I found myself being transported by mentions of authors or other places she's lived. I really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to her next book. In the meantime, I also follow her on social media (Instagram etc.), her podcast, or her blog. She is always updating her recommendations. As someone who visits about once a year or every other year, I find her advice and suggestions useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars The New Paris will have you planning your next trip!

In The New Paris, Lindsey writes about the individuals and businesses working to make their city better, to help move her beyond her mythical past and who “have already made great inroads into leading it beyond its assumed role as a time capsule”. Far from being stuck in the past, Paris now is a “dynamic, vibrant place bursting with energy and ideas, a city open to what the rest of the world has to offer it and far more cosmopolitan in attitude than ever before.” This new creative movement, in part fueled by the economic crisis (la crise) of 2008 has given birth to a whole new way of (approaching) life.

The book features a thorough look at the rapidly evolving worlds of food, wine, pastry, coffee, beer, fashion, and design (if you follow Lindsey on Instagram, many of these places will already be familiar to you, her feed is a veritable dynamic travel guide) and highlights places, ideas and people making their mark in Paris today with this new creative, entrepreneurial spirit.

Chapters include: Food & Dining, Coffee, Sweets, Libations, Shopping & Crafts and Places & Spaces and there’s a special section highlighting Lindsey’s favourites which could totally be the only “travel guide” you need for a trip to Paris (Lindsey’s recommendations have always been solid – from coffee to sweet treats, her ideas have fuelled (literally) a number of “research” sessions when I’ve been in Paris!).

(I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review but I also purchased a copy of this book for myself)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for finding new fun places in Paris for coffee, drinks and really good food
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2018

I enjoyed using this book to find some great new places to try in Paris. I also enjoyed reading about the new food movement and some of the new chefs, coffee roasters, and organic vegetable places. If you are into food and spend time in Paris then I would recommend this book as it makes it fun to go out and track down some of these new places for coffee, drinks or really good fresh food. My favorite restaurant I tried from the book so far is Clamato but I look forward to trying more places on our next trip. Wish I bought the paper version rather than the kindle though so that I could keep all my notes about the different places in the book itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars I fell in love with Paris all over again through this book
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2018

I've been visiting Paris for many years and have come to fall in love with it again through Lindsey's book. Many may view this a travel or food book, and they would not be wrong. But to me it is so much more! As an urban planner and lover of cities and how they tick, The New Paris explains how talent, innovation and the sweat equity of many young entrepreneurs is essentially reshaping and redefining the City of Lights. Lindsey has so well captured the essence of this renaissance and the spirit of all things Parisian. The quality of the photos, writings and even the feel and touch of the paper are beautifully executed. Ask Santa for one today!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Beautiful Book on Paris
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2017

I could not wait to receive the book and it did not disappoint. It is stunning. The information is fun and the photographs are unbelievable. No matter where you are, the photography makes you feel as though you are in Paris with the author and photographer. I have been to Paris many times, enough to no longer feel like a tourist. This books brings Paris to life in a non-tourist way. It would make a great coffee table too, one that reads like the most beautiful magazine on display in your home which you will never want to toss. It is going on my coffee table, permanently.

5.0 out of 5 stars Go beyond the Paris you thought you knew
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2017
Verified Purchase
I have always been fascinated by Paris, but originally this was mainly from a historic and architectural perspective. Having been lucky enough to re-visit the city many times, I found myself drawn more frequently to the 3rd and 4th arrondisements and then further into the 9th, 10th and 11th without fully knowing why. This book explains and expands on what it was that seemed to be beckoning to me from this part of the city - the sense of experimentation and new things happening on nearly every corner.

The New Paris can be read as a guidebook but it works equally well for anyone curious about the people and forces that have absorbed traditional French culture and adapted it, added to it and sometimes defied it to create new restaurants, shops, bars, hotels, etc., infusing the city with a renewed sense of vigor.

The writing is clear and always interesting - I found myself reading the section on shopping (not one of my interests) even more intently than the cocktail section (definitely an interest).

Enjoy.

Lindsey has captured a pivotal moment in Parisian life, just at the right time, and has done so brilliantly. The sense of the replacing of the old guard with fresh, vibrant, young talent could not have been captured better. As we travel to Paris every year, the feeling is palpable but beautifully expressed in this lovely book. I can't recommend it highly enough, even if the reader simply wants to dip into it or live vicariously in the City of Light.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written with gorgeous photography

I love this book! I learned about it through the mysterious meandering magic of Instagram. And I bought it because I was curious what someone would have to say about what's new and fresh about a city I love visiting. I was not expecting such an amazing book.

The exploration of the changing scenes of food, coffee, patisserie, cocktails, shopping and more is so well researched and well written that it's joy to read. There's plenty of gorgeous photography to feed our now insatiable appetite for imagery. It's so much more than a travel guide; it's an insight to the evolution of Paris through each of these lenses. And as a bonus you learn about all the interesting and forward thinking renegades dragging a traditional culture into the future.

I used it to help plan my most recent visit to Paris and it was a faithful advisor to a wonderful experience. I'm looking forward to another visit to continue to explore the New Paris that is there to be discovered.

Worthy of each of the 5 stars.
