Good news: I’ve got your rentrée all sorted out. Well, not me—the folks behind My Little Paris have. The French equivalent of Daily Candy, the girly site and daily newsletter on little-known restaurants, shops, spas, services, and cultural institutions, has just published a book of its greatest hits—in English. My Little Paris: The Best Kept Parisian Secrets arrives very soon in bookshops, just in time to make your fall fabulous—socially, cerebrally, and style-wise. Among the gems it has unearthed (that have escaped even this humble blog) are a bar where you can have a cocktail created and named after you and a pool you can rent out just to yourself by the hour. It tells you where to get movie-set furniture, clothing made from scraps collected from the haute couture houses, and a pedicure performed by hungry fish. But the best pieces in My Little Paris are not about getting and spending. Did you know that you can have the mayor of the 18th arrondissement “non-marry” you and a companion? Or that a bar regularly features patrons reading classic poetry aloud? Sure, the guide prints raves of hipster institutions such as the concept shop Merci and the dead-stock novelty emporium Tombées du Camion. But most of the book is made up of unknown quirky delights of modern Parisian life, such as a service that photographs your apartment and turns the images into a coffeetable book. This succinct, well written, and beautifully illustrated guide is the best vehicle to becoming an instant insider in the City of Light.
