What's New
For this new edition of Discover France, our authors hunted down the
fresh, the revamped, the transformed, the hot and the happening. Here
are some of our favourites. For up-to-the-minute recommendations, see
lonelyplanet.com/france .
1 JADIS, L'AGRUME & DERRIÈRE, PARIS
This hot trio is among a flurry of top-drawer, casually understated dining spaces to
recently woo the capital. Even big-name chefs like Christian Constant and William
Ledeuil are at it ( Click here ).
2 CENTRE POMPIDOU-METZ
The space-age curves of Metz' gleaming white modern-art museum, sudden archi-
tectural star of the provincial north, is as much a show-stopper as its Parisian big
brother (see the boxed text, Click here ).
3 L'AVENTURE MICHELIN, CLERMONT-FERRAND
Now this is apt: the French tyre company that does so much more than rings of rub-
ber finally tells its tale at this museum - travel has always been a big theme
( www.laventuremichelin.com ; 32 rue du Clos Four; adult/child €8/5, audioguide €2;
10am-6pm Tue-Sun) .
4 RUE LE BEC, LYON
Lyon's most creative chef proves he's still on top with his latest ground-breaking ven-
ture - a wholly affordable, market-style dining space on the Confluence aka rejuven-
ated industrial wasteland ( Click here ).
5 BRIVE-VALLÉE DE LA DORDOGNE AIRPORT
