...Paris, stock values climbed an average 10% during August, blue chips have gone up by an average 25%, and some (such as Rhone-Poulenc and Michelin) skyrocketed by 40% or more. Yet the French economy remains in the doldrums. Unemployment is high, industrial production is sluggish, and most French businessmen are worried about the July 1, 1968, deadline when disappearing Common Market tariff barriers will expose them to harsher competition. Reasons for the stock climb: Bourse prices simply got so low that they began to look like bargain-basement buys to investors throughout Europe; the French government intervened to inspire...
...into Paris last week, attracted always by its reputation for high style, fine restaurants and magnificent art collections. But as any seasoned traveler knows, there is more to France than just Paris. And already Francophiles were circling on their maps those little-known, remote museums that, as the Guide Michelin says of its top restaurants, are "well worth the trip...
...Craig Claiborne, 46, Mississippi-bred food editor of the New York Times, a discriminating one-man Guide Michelin to restaurants not just in Manhattan but throughout the nation, and editor of the 717-page The New York Times Cookbook (over 100,000 copies).

Born 46 years ago in Burgundy, Franey began an apprenticeship as a kitchen boy at 14, learned to cook at Paris' Drouant restaurant (two Michelin stars), reached his culinary peak as chef of New York's Pavilion (which would undoubtedly rate three stars if Michelin graded U.S. establishments). Like Friend and Fellow Chef René Verdon, who quit the White House last year after he was ordered to use frozen vegetables, Franey had always...
Casteau (pop. 1,800) is so small and undistinguished that it does not even rate a line in Michelin's guidebook. But it has some old red brick barracks on an 800-acre military reservation. By next spring, construction teams intend to throw up a modern headquarters, heliport, and 600 prefabricated houses for SHAPE'S staff of about 2,000 men and their numerous dependents. The cost -$43 million-will be shared by the 14 surviving NATO military members. France avoided a share of the bill by withdrawing from NATO's military committee...
