French TRavel

This post is really aimed at those members of this newsgroup who have some
experience of France and will want to join in with the Sharing France
project.

This is not a commercial ad. Total France.com is a non-commercial site run
by Francophile volunteers. Our main aim is the sharing of France-related
information.

The 'Sharing France' Project is a collaborative effort among Francophiles,
geared towards collecting and disseminating 'verbal histories' in an
interesting and entertaining way.

The project has been started with the aim of collecting together first-hand
experiences - of visiting, living in or working in France - and publishing
them, in electronic book form, for the information and enjoyment of
Francophiles everywhere; in particular those new to France.

So, do you have an amusing, sad, moving, informative or cautionary story
about any aspect of visiting or living in France? Perhaps your mixed
feelings about finally leaving home to live permanently in France or the
vexed problem of a border dispute with neighbours; the fun of making new
friends or the trauma of repairing a leaking tap at 3:00 am? Whatever the
story, we'd be delighted if you came and shared it with the project.

Full details (including submission procedures) available at:

Anyone can contribute - you don't have to be a Mark Twain or a Jane Austen -
and there are no pre-conditions about style or content. There are no
conditions about length - six lines to six chapters, it's up to you. This is
not a writing competition but an information-gathering project. If your
story is of interest then come and share it with interested people!

Full credit will be given to all contributors - except those who desire
anonymity - and Francophiles everywhere will be able to download the
finished compilation, free of charge, direct to their PCs.

To make the project more fun, and to acknowledge your input, the first
entries will receive a prize. So will the best of the contributions overall.

We look forward to reading your contrib
