France & Paris newsletters
 

All,<BR><BR>I would be interested in your inputs on any France and/or Paris newsletters and magazines that you may subscribe to. I have been receiving "My Mercerdi" by David Applefiled, which is a free weekly e-mail. He is now pushing "The Paris Key Club" which is a monthly subscription newsletter, which also seems to grant access to accomodations, but seems more geared to "commercial" purposes. Any comments on it would be appreciated.<BR><BR>My question is: where do all of you get your information from (apart from Fodor's of course!) I already browse N.G. Traveller, Conde Nast..<BR><BR>Thanks<BR>Mike

Try "www.parisinsites.com" - it's a great newsletter.

Have a look at Metropole Paris.<BR>Non commercial weekly online magazine.<BR>http://www.metropoleparis.com<BR>They organize weekly get togethers.<BR>

Try bonjourparis.com

Another vote for Bonjour Paris.

And another for www.bonjourparis.com

Another vote for Ric and his wonderful articles on Paris at metropoleparis.com. It was fun to meet him when we were there.

I get one called Parler Paris. I don't like it much but maybe that's because it is geared more to visitors than towards residents. You can subscribe by contacting [email protected]

All of the ones I get/read are listed above, it seems--parisinsites, metropoleparis (my favorite), bonjourparis. I also get a print subscription to a Paris newsletter called Paris Notes, but it's not cheap and I'm not sure worth it (definitely not for more casual viewers).<BR><BR>Sometimes I peruse the Journal Francais (American French newspaper), but a lot of what I read is just free online and regular news media. I get Yahoo French news through page preference setups and can read Le Monde or Le Figaro. I get that Applefield newsletter but haven't been reading it lately so guess I missed that Key Club thing. I don't read Bonjourparis that often, either, I'll admit.
