Good tips from the Guardian here on eating cheaply but well in the capital. ‘Les Petits Tables’ is a website started last year by two young men, one in advertising and one a food-critic. Apparently it’s a ‘massive success’ and certainly has some interesting propositions for meals under 10€…..on a barge in the Bassin, in a resto with its own currency, in a Thai café surrounded by Thai street art, even in chic St Germain (see pic).

Art in the South of France; the inside story
The South of France. Enchanted by the deep blue of the Mediterranean, the olive trees, poppies, irises and that dazzling light, artists found their creativity flourished under the hot sun. My new book takes you on a journey visiting museums and galleries as well as artists’ studios and their favourite painting spots. From Van Gogh in Arles, to Signac in Saint-Tropez; from Cézanne in Aix, over to Nice for Renoir and Matisse, the story unfolds of artists who knew each other and painted together in the warm south. Prepare too to meet colourful local artists who captured their beloved Provence for us to enjoy.
