📍Paris, France

Paris has no shortage of cool neighbourhood restaurants, but Jones is one of those places locals would rather you not find.

It is lively without trying, in that effortlessly intimate Parisian way and full of people who look like they read art magazines and drink wine on weeknights. It is a whole TRAppe vibe.

They have hosted a rotating cast of chefs over the years and it often feels like an ongoing chef residency. You never really know what to expect each time you make a reservation and that’s kind of the point.

The menu changes constantly, led by what is fresh, local and in season. Think flavour that shows someone really understands ingredients. Think natural wines from small European makers chosen with care. Think conversations that stretch late into the night without anyone checking the time. Even their bathroom is a whole entire vibe.

Jones is where good food, good people and good mood meet, quietly and without trying too hard; aka the Parisian way.

Reservation is an absolute must. This is one of those Parisian spots you could get shot for sharing with travellers, so consider this our little secret.

In this week’s What’s Hot & What’s Not, meet Lennart, a PR strategist specialising in technology and innovation.

Originally from the Netherlands, Lennart is passionate about tech, cultures and the humans in between. He spent 8 years living in China, where he learned Mandarin to the point of fluency in order to truly understand the culture and be part of everyday life. Lennart is the kind of person who will always learn a word or two of the local language wherever he goes, out of respect and a desire to connect with people on their terms.

🔥 What’s Hot

my mum’s local bed & breakfast (tell her TRAppe sent you for some extra love!), learning a few local phrases like please and thank you to show respect, trying to hold conversations even if you rely on Google Translate, mediating in nature, countrysides, the Dutch Wadden Islands, middle of nowhere cabins, using technology as a bridge to culture, smiling at strangers/locals because why not?

❄️ What’s Not

rushing through airports, being late for anything (I’m Dutch, punctuality is cultural), not being genuine in your interactions with locals, living in an “expat bubble” and never interacting with the local community, behaving in ways on holiday that you would never behave at home, if it is not acceptable where you are from, it is not acceptable in the places you visit either.
