A hedgehog in the Kitchen : The name may surprise you... You are probably wondering where the link with books comes in. We too were a little astonished at first but what a beautiful discovery it was! 

Behind this mysterious name lies Alix and Hugo, a French-American newly wed couple living in Paris. With a passion for everything French, great curiosity, sense of challenge and discerning eye, their blog is a treasure trove. It’s every Francophile’s dream. From travel tips, best addresses, gift guides to recipes, they have it all!

If you can’t make it to France this year, why not travel to our country through books? After all didn’t Anna Quindlen say “Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home!”

Alix and Hugo have rounded up the best books on Paris for kids, adults and for French food lovers too! Perfect gifts for the whole family!
