Guide to Paris and France

BonjourParis French News is a daily news roundup for France travelers and expats. Mostly English language with some French news about anything and all we can find about France, such as: Paris, French cities and villages, dining, lodging, events, wine, culture, museums, art, landmarks, sightseeing, French life, US-France relations, books about France, food and cooking, fashion, shopping and so on.

Here is a sample of their stories today:
Rare works by Impressionist painter Gustave and photographer Martial Caillebotte are paired in the current Caillebotte Brothers exhibition at the Jacquemart-André Museum until July 11, 2011.

France Job Hunt: Hiring Practices in France - I recently learned a disturbing fact about applying for a job in France: when sending out a CV to a potential employer, a mandatory part of that CV is a photo of the applicant.

It feels so totally un-American that the word foreign seems a very apt way to describe this particular French employment practice.

In the Brittany Bistro: Cabillaud aux Haricots Blancs ~ Cod with White Beans and Tomatoes. Our bistro menu today features dishes à la bretonne, meaning that they will be prepared or garnished with white navy beans. One of Brittany's gourmet products is a small white bean, the Coco de Paimpol, which was recently recognized with the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée guarantee of quality. In fact, the whole region is mobilized during the harvest because the beans must be gathered by hand.
