French Cooking Recipes Question And Answer
Need assistance with finding a Magazine printed in French?
Would like to get a subscription to a magazine that is printed in French. Preferrable one NOT one focused on subject ( cars, hunting, cooking recipes, quilting ).
Something with a good combination categories of home family, life, current events, entertainment.
I live in the USA and am thinking that my closest and best bet would be delivery from somewhere in Canada.
Another problem is that my French is still very limited and I would need to be able to order this in English.
Thank you very much in advance
Couple of reasons I am looking not online is, i am military and not always able to have a laptop with me and I do some French courses online and need a break from sitting at the computer

Why don't you check out online french magazines? It's free and usually updated daily. Madame Figaro is a good woman's one. Google the usual suspects Elle, Marie Claire, Marie France, Vogue to get you started...
I agree with Guimauve. It would be the best way...
Well, the best newsmagazines are the following:
Le Point
Le Nouvel Observateur
L´Express
You could also subscribe to the Figaro (newspaper), its Saturday issue comes with the Figaro Magazine, there you ve got a bit of everything- less politics, rather documentaries and lifestyle.
I d recommend you "l´Express", it should be a bit easier to read than the others and it focusses less on politics/ economy. If your special interest is politics, you could also consider getting "Le Monde Diplomatique" (left wing orientation, rather hard to read, wouldn t recommend it to people whose French isn t that great).
If you want to read it in English (don t really see the point why you want to pick a French one then but okay), I think there is an English version of Paris Match...but well, that s the usual celebrity kinda crap+ fashion.
Vogue and Elle magazines are different in every country cluster, the British/German or US issues are different to the French original ;-)
