When July comes to an end theres a sense of disappointment in the air, a sense of loss, as Paris in July, the blogging event, comes to a close. Yet, as it is well known in this community........ Paris is always a good idea! The event, with its Mr Linkys, with the buttons, the challenge to honour all things Parisian or French, may end, but we can still read, eat, drink, watch, enjoy & review these things... and i hope we will.
This year we had a collection of different buttons to help us mark our posts, as a reflection of the different members of our community this year. Its the diversity of the participants that I love about blogging events. We come from all walks of life & yet in blogging, in July, we come together to share our appreciation for the old, current & emerging culture of Paris.
Thankyou all, for sharing your holiday memories, your experiences, the books you read, the movies you watched, the french food & festivities you celebrated, the recipes, the history, the polotics.... childrens stories, book titles, book covers, things you collect, exhibitions you went to, and parks you spent Time in. All of these posts, all of your contributions, they are Paris in July! We did it together .
Merci! A la prochaine!
It was great fun, and we all owe you a debt of gratitude for organizing this very informative and entertaining blog event! As I was writing my Paris posts, I found several more interesting books to read, so my own Paris exploration will continue. While 2019 will probably be a year when I don't get to Paris, I hope I'll get there some time soon.

Thanks so much for hosting this wonderful event. I am as after ten years of blogging getting a bit burned out but this event helped give me back my love for blogging.
ReplyDeleteMae, it was certainly my pleasure and indeed Good Fun. I will be joining you in finishing my reading in the next few months.
ReplyDeleteMel U, I'm pleased to hear you found it engaging and refreshing. You're a passionate reader and reviewer, and you're such an educator in the way you review. Thanks.
Thank you for this wonderful blog event. I enjoyed it so much - it brought back so many lovely memories and it was fun writing about them.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I so enjoy this, Tamara. And I'm glad the links will still be able to be found as I have far too many with whom I want to catch up! Whenever I finish Paris In July, all I want to do is pack a suitcase and head to the airport!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for hosting such a wonderful month. I spent most of the month watching from the sidelines, but I always enjoy seeing what everybody else is up to.
