24 Hours Paris: An Interview with Marsha Moore
Interview by Linda Donahue, Editor-in-Chief
A few months ago, a book fell into my lap (via my email inbox). A new Paris guidebook was being published and its author, Marsha Moore, was hoping I’d have a few positive words to say to put on the cover. I honestly wasn’t expecting much.

If it’s Monday, it must be Haven in Paris. This HiP Monday feature is – be forewarned – so delicious, you just may find your mouth watering as you read all about it. And in honor of the Labor Day holiday (in the U.S.), we’re running it for you all over again.
Story by Tory Hoen, HiP Correspondent
It’s easy to be jealous of David Lebovitz when you learn how he spends his days: spreading Bordier butter on toast, browsing through Paris’ open air markets, testing recipes, hopping in and out of bakeries and chocolate shops, trying Paris’ numerous restaurants, and chronicling his delicious adventures on his blog, DavidLebovitz.com, and in his books. Yes, it’s a sweet life, but someone’s gotta do it, and David Lebovitz had the foresight, motivation, and chutzpah to realize (early on) that that person should be him. His many fans would agree. After all, living vicariously through David’s blog is pretty sweet as well. (more…)
Paris by the Numbers
This is the only guide to Paris arranged by arrondissement, making the 20 chapters (for the 20 arrondissements) an easy way to find the best places to shop, eat, see and do during your visit to Paris. There’s no “fluff” in this book – just practical listings to find your way around the City of Lights.
Quiet Corners of Paris
We love this book, and not just because of the pretty photographs by Christophe Lefébure. Quiet Corners of Paris, written by Jean-Christophe Napias, takes the reader on a wondrous journey through the eyes of two men who know Paris as only those who live there can show you. You’ll find courtyards, gardens, museums, galleries, passages, shops, winding lanes and more.

Paris shopaholics rejoice. This tiny little book is the ultimate, most comprehensive guide to every market, market street and district of Paris. You’ll get the insider insight into where to buy food, antiques, artisanal crafts, books and more (just like the book cover says). The authors, Dixon and Ruthanne Long offer some wonderful stories behind the markets, with stunning photographs by Alison Harris giving the full story.
