Lindsey Tramuta

Author, Journalist & Podcast Host — Paris, France

Lindsey Tramuta, a French-American journalist and author, has been based in Paris since 2006. Since 2012, her work has appeared in T: The New York Times Style Magazine, the New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, Fortune Magazine, Afar Magazine, Travel & Leisure, Eater, Bloomberg, Elle, and Vogue, among other international publications.

Her first book, The New Paris (Abrams, 2017), was the direct inspiration for this podcast and continues where the book left off. Some episodes are light, others are more serious in topic and tone. All include guest experts who discuss the timely (and timeless, for better or for worse) issues facing not only Paris but all of France: immigration, discrimination, urban development, women's rights, and more.

Lindsey is also the author of The New Parisienne: the Women and Ideas Shaping Paris (Abrams, 2020), The Eater Guide to Paris (Abrams, 2025), and co-authored Arbiters of Style: the New Wave of French Interior Design (Phaidon, 2026).

The show

What This Podcast Is About

The New Paris Podcast is rooted in a simple belief: that the best way to understand a city is through the people shaping it. Each episode centers a guest — a chef, designer, activist, urbanist, writer, or entrepreneur — whose work is actively contributing to how Paris evolves.

The show is a companion to Lindsey's books and journalism, offering the depth and intimacy that only a long-form conversation can provide. You'll hear about the tensions between tradition and change, the people pushing for a more inclusive, creative, and livable Paris, and the ideas animating the city right now.

Whether you're a Francophile, an expat, a traveler, or simply someone who loves cities, these conversations offer a window into one of the world's most endlessly fascinating places.
