It was a lovely surprise to get a message from Roberta Pichet at the popular French website Chez les filles, asking to use one of my photographs from the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Visit Chez les filles for many fabulous French blogs, as well as blogs of Paris-based expats like me. You'll find Paris Parfait in the À Paris section. Merci bien, Roberta!
À Paris
Des filles capitales
En direct de la ville-lumière, Tara l’Américaine fait son récit du Paris Parfait. Mention spéciale pour le reportage sur les chapeaux du Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe 2008 !
Catharine est venue d’Angleterre dans l’espoir de trouver à Paris l’inspiration et la matière pour écrire un livre. Son Embrouillamini s’en fait l’écho.
Marie, elle, est française et parisienne d’adoption. Aujourd’hui journaliste, elle a appris à aimer la capitale et a créé un blog pour partager ce qu’elle aime dans la fascinante cité. Suivez le guide Inside Paris !

Speaking of chapeaux, I had an email today from someone sponsoring the "Chapeau Blog Awards." Doesn't seem to be a prize for their money-making scheme: they charge an entry fee of $195 to $275! Uh, thanks, but no thanks, as a certain governor might say.
Scroll down the page for two additional posts today.
Hey. Thanks for posting your thoughts on the Chapeau Blog Awards. Our apologies for the intrusion, but we are trying to give outstanding bloggers like you the recognition they deserve. And we are charging for entries in our competition like all other award competitions are - to cover our costs. Please understand that we mean no harm, and we won't contact you in the future.
Tara responds:
I have yet to hear of a single blog awards program - other than your own - that charges bloggers to participate. Any costs of blogging awards usually are absorbed by the award sponsors, not the nominees.
