I realize the folks in the US probably won't get this issue but those elsewhere might be able to grab a copy.
For those also who do not appreciate the fact that this woman is beloved of others around the world...
The new issue of Elle (France) features the beautiful and talented Vanessa... It will say a lot at the end...[/b]
Pour vous.

The translation of the article:
On Paradise Road
From the waves of the Pacific to Hollywood Blvd, from Beverly Hills to the bivouac under the stars. In Los Angeles, Vanessa Paradis interpreted all the sides of a "California girl" for us.
A few days in California, then a tour on the roads of France, a quick run to Paris before vacation in the South, as a family... Vanessa Paradis is a star without a fixed home, but with a loyal heart.
In the city of angels, she's found her paradise: when Vanessa isn't staying in the Côte d'Azur, it's in Los Angeles that [b]she relocates her divine idyl with Johnny Depp and the children, Jack and Lily Rose. So she chose "la Macque du cinéma" (not sure what Macque is. I'm guessing something like The Land of Cinema -- it is Hollywood after all LOL) as the backdrop of our photo session, she gives herself up without reservation before the lens of her close friend John Nollet, who's already directed the music video for "Dès que je te vois." "I adore modeling! That remains very playful work, which, moreover, has a connection with my job as an actress. You have to play with styles: deadly, wild, sporty or sexy... I'm very comfortable with my body, with my reflection too and, in any case, I've always loved to dress up to do the show!" she has a good time, while we had admittedly pictured her as being more timid. From the sand of Malibu to the palm trees of Mulholland Drive, spending time in the California desert, Vanessa was swept up in her city, all local glamour. And that's good news, because Western American iconography really suits him -- even if Miss Paradis will eternally remain the little fiancée of Paris. Why not see some snapshots done in their LA home? "We protect that well," she responds, tersely, but with a smile.
After those 3 days of shooting, the singer returned to France last July for a big festival tour: 10 concerts in as many different cities, all in 2 weeks. "Exhausting! But I try to sleep during the off days. Of course, I'm bringing Lily-Rose and Jack. For me, it's really important that they'll be there. Like all mothers, I feel guilty, I'm pulled between work and the time spent close to them. My position requires a little gymnastics: as a singer, I'm pushed into the limelight and, with children, I have to look at a second plan, because it's them who take precedence." It's just the beginning of this bohemian rock saga, a great musical ride from Saint-Malo à Carcassonne, where she gives us a meeting in a recording studio in the Parisian region. Her happy group waits for her there -- of which the indispensable Matthieu Chedid and Albin Desimone -- ready to rehearse the best hits of Vanessa. "After 6 months without singing, you have to get the rust off the machine, especially since I'm not the type to do singing exercises every night!" In the entrance, there are children, guitars, a dog, some hefty roadies setting up amplifiers, a press attaché, a plethora of assistants. And, in the middle of this odd family, a princess whose voice is as singular as it is familiar, enough to indicate her arrival.
We return, Vanessa is there now. In jeans, Indian boots, curled up in a gorgeous vintage shawl. She hugs her team like "bon pain" (I'm not sure what this expression means: comme du bon pain), without forgetting to give the news to everyone -- gaining weight, wedding, vacation... The real girl is keeping with the star: an exquisite "tanagra" (??), a admirably well-proportioned Lolita, more luscious than we had imagined and pretty as a picture. The atmosphere is of a reunion: "It's a great happiness to see all the band again. The adventure around this disc is idyllic, like it says in the title, no pun intended! After 6 months not playing together, I can't wait to bring together this magnificent toy that we made and to see again the songs in the faces of people." This palpable emotion in the public, constantly meeting since "Joe le Taxi" (1987!), we feel this wonderfully on the DVD of the tour "Divinidylle Tour." Filled with a "making of" and some backstage footage, it's directed by the Poiraud brothers, with whom the actress filmed the movie "Atomik Circus."
In the studio, the guitars are tuned, he agrees to let Vanessa start her rehearsal. The ultimate question: vacation? After those 2 weeks of the festivals, she gives herself a break, but it's difficult to really know where and when. When we tame celebrity 20 years ago and when you live with a huge Hollywood star, a certain discretion remains a priority. But Vanessa also lets it be heard that she's not the type to plan, very conscientious of the incredible privilege that comes with her place as a VIP: "I live between the US and France, not speaking of the filming that takes place at the four corners of the world. When we're near their school, the children are in class. If not, they have a private tutor. Of course, they're starting to want to stay with their friends, but the things they experience with us, notably the travel, are exceptional. They're taking something with them as they grow, I hope." And that secret vacation, will that be exceptional as well? "Maybe we'll stay in our little lost town, Var, away from "Sénéquiser" (??). As a family and with a group of friends that come by. One thing is certain: I have a crazy urge to swim. If not, you know, I'm very barbecued and pink!"
