Our bestseller, published in INDIA by Prentice Hall of India

After being published in China, this book has been published in India in English.
Here’s a book that presents a practical and progressive method for
developing one's abilities; it also aims at all those who want to manage
their time better, be more efficient, and renew the enthusiasm of their
early days. It should prove to be an asset for all those who want to
succeed — be it in their professional lives or personal lives.

It is never too late to acquire the attitude that lead
to success. Anyone, young or old, irrespective of the age, has the means
of succeeding or overcoming a failure.
A head of an enterprise very rarely shares the secrets of his personal
dynamism. André Muller, creator of an enterprise at the age of twenty
three, reveals in this book his method of working and his motivational
techniques.

A Perfect Parisian Day…
by Françoise Blanchard Choi, author of Say Chic and Foddie French

If I were in Paris today, I would probably go straight back to where I last lived, in the eleventh arrondissement. It’s ironic how one often needs to be deprived of something to suddenly realize and appreciate the value of what is now gone. I never realized I had lived on a gourmet street or – to use a more trendy word – a bistronomique* street! (No need to look it up in the dictionary; this term hasn’t made it into English just yet, but I trust it is only a matter of time.)

My first gift to you is the name of that lovely, yet somewhat secretive, street: rue Paul Bert (after a nineteenth-century French politician). On rue Paul Bert, I would walk pass a small stylish bistro-like restaurant (Le Temps Au Temps: 13, Rue Paul Bert – 75011 Paris, France / +33 1 43 79 63 40 http://tempsautemps.com/) on my way home, glance rapidly inside to get a sense of the ambiance and think “we should definitely try it next time we go out.” Yet, by the time that “next time” came around, my mental post-it had vanished (a fate peculiar to all post-its it seems, mental or not) and we ended up far away, too far away, in a place we picked simply because we were tired of walking any further. It took a move abroad (to Seoul precisely) for me to realize how foolish I had been not to have paid more attention to the gems in my neighborhood. This epiphany took place during an accidental visit to a local travel agency, where I had picked up a catalog at random. As I was aimlessly leafing through its illustrations, a familiar view caught my eye. Well now, isn’t that Le Temps Au Temps? Though written in Korean, I could clearly guess that the article was mentioning this restaurant as a must-visit-experience when in Paris. *Sigh* They say the grass always seems greener elsewhere. Well, now I know exactly where the “green grass” of Paris is.

With a seating capacity of no more than 25, it is highly recommended that you book in advance as the restaurant has always looked full when I’ve passed by. But in the event you stumble upon rue Paul Bert one day by chance (i.e. without a reservation), you can always walk a few steps farther down the street and try your luck at the Bistro Paul Bert (18, Rue Paul Bert – 75011 Paris, France / +33 1 43 72 24 66) across the street, for a similar, yet still unique, experience. This neo-bistro (whatever this means) has even made it into the New York Times’s Travel Guide / Where To Eat list; so, surely, the chef is doing something right here, as well. From extra-fresh oysters to crispy pigeons and gargantuan pastries (the Paris-Brest is among them), one will certainly find this dining experience memorable.

Well now, after a good meal and a walk on the streets (for digestive purposes), I should probably head off to a salon de coiffure (hair salon) for a fresh cut. I have never been especially lucky with hairdressers, and the day I finally decided to set my course to the one about which my younger brother had been raving was, unfortunately, the day we had to begin packing for our move. So I have yet to get the best haircut of my life. And for that job, I would trust my hair with no other than Sébastien of the Jean-Claude Colas salon in Paris’s first arrondissement (5 rue de l’Echelle – 75001 Paris / +33 1 42 96 02 06). Why is that? Well, for a start, he has styled both my husband and my little brother and let me tell one thing: he knows how to make a man look better than good, trust me! With a little luck, he’s as talented with women’s cut. If you ask for a catalog, he might laugh and say, “I’m the catalog.” (That is, he knows what’s best for you). And indeed, he does know.

Now that I’ve been pampered, it’s time to make some plans for an evening out. One of my short-lived pastimes when I was in Paris was the hunt for talented-but-not-yet-popular-stand-up-comedians. Paris is bursting with café-théâtres and other small venues that feature young stand-up comedians waiting for their big break. I remember taking my little sister to see Fabrice Eboué at the Blancs Manteaux (15 rue des Blancs Manteaux – 75004 Paris / +33 1 48 87 15 84 http://www.blancsmanteaux.fr/) in the heart of the Marais. There were fewer than ten of us there in this minuscule venue that prides itself on being a talent pool which witnessed the early endeavors of numerous now well-know and respected artists, such as Michèle Laroque, Renaud, Jacques Higelin, Virginie Lemoine and Camille Dalmais (to name just a few.) Fabrice was no exception. After two seasons as the official “sniper” (in charge of teasing the guest of the day) of an evening talk-show broadcast on French television, he is now a regular on radio station Europe 1’s “On va s’gêner” talk show. If you want to catch Fabrice Eboué on stage these days, I suggest you head straight to Le Comedy Club (42 boulevard Bonne Nouvelle – 75010 Paris / +33 811 940 940 http://www.lecomedyclub.fr/), a brand new… well, comedy-club (owned by popular comedian Jamel Debbouze) which opened in April of this year and which seats 120 people. Free admission (provided you purchase a drink) on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for “open session” night! If I were in Paris today, feeling like having a ball for the price of an aperitif, that’s exactly where I’d be.

*Bistronomie: portmanteau word made of bistro and gastronomie, implying one gets the best of both worlds in such a restaurant (that is -- fine cuisine at reasonable prices.)

Françoise BLANCHARD - CHOI

1er août 2008

If you are in Paris in August, do not miss la hune!

This bookstore is part of the history of Saint-Germain des Prés. Max Ernst, André Breton, poet Henri Michaux as well as hundreds of other artists through the decades have liked to come here. Next to le Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots. We advise you to dine there inside - less noisy at night -, where Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre used to sit ; you should try le millefeuilles chèvre-tomate, very refreshing.

Do not miss INDEFINITIVEMENT, the travel book of our author, Clemence Gandillot, in the window of la hune: she is such a talentful young lady.

24 juillet 2008
