Karen at Bookbath and I are excited to announce the third “Paris in July” – a month
long blogging experience celebrating our love of all things French and
Parisian. Karen and I really enjoy the experience of hosting and
being treated to the many reviews, stories and photos that transport us all to
Paris and all things French. First held in 2010 with 39 participants, by
popular demand, we were compelled to go again in 2011 with even more
participants. Now we’ve heard your requests and we’re off again - on a new
journey “Paris in July 2012”.
For those of you who participated last year the guidelines for the
event will be pretty much the same (we reserve the right to throw in some
surprises now and then). Paris in July will run from the 1st - 31st July 2011
and the aim of the month is to celebrate our French experiences through
reading, watching, listening to, observing, cooking and eating all things
French.
There will
be no rules or targets in terms of how much you need to do or complete in order
to be a part of Paris in July - just blog about anything French and you can
join in. Some ideas for the month might include:
- Reading a
French book - fiction or non-fiction
- Watching
a French movie
- Listening
to French music
- Cooking
French food
- Experiencing French art, architecture or travel (or remembering travel
experiences)
- Or
anything else French inspired you can think of...
If you are
interested in being a part of this experience leave a comment on this post and
we will put together a side bar showing all of the participants. There will be
weekly French themed prizes during the month for which we will randomly draw
the winners from all the French themed posts of that week that link back to us.
We will be writing weekly wrap up posts for you to link your posts to. To see
reviews from previous years – 2010 & 2011
In the coming weeks Karen and I will post some links and ideas you might find motivation from – and I invite others to do
the same...
