Un carnet français

Le Court is a notebook about living well, the French way — style and fashion, Paris and the regions, food and the table, and the everyday art de vivre.

It is written from Paris, without bylines and without dates, on the theory that the good things — a proper trench, a two-hour lunch, one museum room seen well — do not expire. We keep the notes short, the type large, and the enthusiasm honest. Never snobbish; that would be missing the point.

The photography is real, the places are real, and the advice is field-tested at the market, the bistro and the fitting room. When we get something wrong, we mend it — like anything else worth keeping.

Say bonjour any time: the door is open.
