Listen, mes chers. Before you leave Paris for I'Amérique on your honeymoon it is absolutely essential that you equip yourselves with the new Guide to New York by Henri Gault and Christian Millau. There is no other comparable introduction to New York and les New-Yorkais, certainly not in French (and it's available only in French). With its information on hotels, restaurants, theaters, shopping, museums, la night life, even transportation, it will be as valuable to you as your traveler's checks. The book also contains many sage observations about the habits-some...
Gault and Millau, as you know, publish the monthly food and travel magazine Le Nouveau Guide as well as a feisty annual guide to French restaurants, which sometimes makes Michelin's comments seem like soggy croissants. Oh, mes chers, what G-M have to say about l'Amérique is not what you have read in Tocqueville!

Be adventurous like your French ancestors there: cross the bridge and dine in le vrai Brooklyn, at the Continental...
...trendy, fiercely competitive world of grande cuisine. After only 1% years of operation, the Restaurant Michel Guérard at the spa in Eugenie-les-Bains near Lourdes is about to receive a top rating of 19 points in this year's edition of the Guide Gault-Millau, France's sprightliest food publication. (The spa also has a gourmand menu for the calorie-careless.) The more conservative and authoritative Guide Michelin, which awarded two stars to Guérard's first restaurant, Le Pot au Feu, outside Paris, has just given two stars to the Eugenie...
...voyage capped four years of effort by Gourmet-Author Henri Gault (TIME, Nov. 19,1973). Gault and his colleague Christian Millau have become known through their guidebooks and monthly magazine as the evangelists of la nouvelle cuisine française which celebrates practicality and provincial simplicity in reaction against the ornate, heavy, highly stylized haute cuisine of French tradition. To make Mermoz a ship of drools, Gault lured aboard...
