Toi, moi et Paris
Nov 30th
I went to Paris for the first time in my life last week-end, and had a fantastic time catching up with a few friends in the French capital.
The Comité Régional du Tourisme of Paris Ile-de-France have recently launched their “Toi, moi et Paris” European campaign, and have asked a number of bloggers to share their ideal vision of the ‘New Paris’.

I recently (legally) downloaded French singer Amandine Bourgeois’ first album and was pleasantly surprised to be given access to a VIP space on her website that includes an exclusive video diary, acoustic songs, photos and a fan forum where you can More >
