“This is the perfect book format for toting around Paris. . .Markets of Paris
describes in thoughtful prose a variety of Paris markets, focusing
primarily on the 65 outdoor food markets that are an essential part of
the Paris landscape. . . .But, for me, what really sets this book apart
is the careful prose. Time is taken to capture the essence of how one
market’s aura can differ from any other in Paris...There’s just enough
here to whet your appetite, get you into the Metro, or putting on your
walking shoes to explore neighborhoods that may have escaped your
attention.” ParisLogue
“As bright as a sunny day in the French countryside, La Tartine Gourmande
will inspire cooks with fresh, vibrant vegetables and colorful fruits
and berries. From breakfast through dessert, this lushly photographed
book by Béatrice Peltre will have cooks everywhere licking their lips . .
. and their plates!” David Lebovitz, author of Ready for Dessert and The Sweet Life in Paris
