I wanted to let you know that I really enjoy Paris Notes. A couple of years ago my partner and I bought a small apartment in the Marais; Paris Notes has truly enhanced our lives by showing us so many things we may not have otherwise discovered. Paris is really a dream for us, and Paris Notes makes it even more wonderful. Thanks for a great publication!

I Love Paris Notes. I've been unable to return to Paris for a very long time, but Paris Notes keeps it so alive for me. If my health permits, I'll go for certain. In the meantime, I share with my traveling friends these truly wonderful Paris Notes.

I am a French teacher who who spent her study year in Paris ... Suffice to say it was one of the best years of my life ... Paris Notes, so full of "petits détails intéressants," takes me back and lets me relive some of my old walks as well as remember my old haunts. Paris Notes on paper is a wonderful resource for keeping me "au courant" and "branchée" both personally and as an educator. My chapter files at school are full of pages from different issues, even pages in my textbooks are book-marked with articles and amusing anecdotes, which help spice up my daily lessons.

Throughout my life, I have subscribed to countless magazines and newsletters —depending upon my ever evolving interests. Having followed all that is Paris from afar, and finally going in 1996 and 1999— I can not praise your publication enough! I eagerly wait for its arrival (I do have a life), pass it on to my mother and sent a subscription to a brother in NYC. Everything about it is terrific.

This is just a quick note to tell you how much I enjoy Paris Notes (the paper edition!) ... I save them and read each issue, and refer often to past issues ...I've Xeroxed copies and sent them to a cousin Rhode Island ... I pour over your issues—especially before I go, and take notes on them and actually take a few issues with me ... I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your paper edition, and to say I hope you never stop publishing it.

... the big picture is that Paris Notes is outstanding. I have subscribed to many travel newsletters over the past 20 years, but Paris Notes is the only one I have renewed for more than one year. So, keep up the good work.

I was fortunate enough to receive a year's subscription to Paris Notes as a Christmas gift. I just want you to know how much I am enjoying each and every issue. They are all neatly placed in a folder for future reference when—not if—I return to Paris Thank you for all the valuable insights and historical information.

After subscribing to Paris Notes for several years, I want to thank you for publishing such a great newsletter. The Information is very well written and I love the easy-to-read format. We all know that Paris is such an amazing location with secret places and surprises around every corner. Paris Notes has the ability to take me there and feel as though I'm amid all those pleasurable experiences that Paris has to offer. Just like a quickie vacation without any traveling hassles.

... I love Paris and I love your publication. Having spent the better part of three separate years in the 60's and 70's in Paris, I probably know Paris better than any city in the USA, and I love learning more from your excellent publication. Keep it up and thanks!

The newsletter has been a real treat—a delightful source of information about our "other home", a great source of news and info about what's going on and what we should check out next time we're there, and a great way to make us feel a little closer when we're not there. Thank you for a great newsletter!

—Dan Sternbergh, Subscriber


It was with some trepidation that we became subscribers to Paris Notes. We weren't certain that the newsletter would be of any value, particularly since we are veteran travelers to Paris and are now there twice a year. Suffice to say, we are quite pleased that we are now regular readers of Paris Notes and encourage others to subscribe. When the newsletter arrives, even if another one of our trips is not imminent, we enjoy being able to keep up-to-date and welcome each edition. Thanks for keeping us connected with our favorite city.
