The Saturday Site Review - France - General
Whilst reviewing sites for A Taste of Garlic I often come across sites that don’t really fit in with my self-imposed rules about the sort of sites that I should be reviewing.
My general rule is that the site should have a blog element that has at least 30 posts and has been going for at least 3 months.
Obviously, I occasionally break this rule!
Some of the sites that I can’t review are still good sites though and I’ve decided to mention some of these general sites on a Saturday just so that they don’t get lost.
If you know of a site that should be promoted to readers of A Taste of Garlic, please let me know.
The best way is to get in touch at… contact@aTasteOfGarlic.com
www.assist-ent.net
www.assist-ent.net is Helen’s site. As a Virtual Assistant, Helen can offer PA, secretarial and administrative office support services on a regular or ad hoc basis.
Your business may be such that demand for office support can fluctuate from month to month and you don’t require the added expense of a part-time or full-time employee.
You may only require help for a small part of your day, week or month, to support your business needs.
If this sounds familiar then Helen can help. Helen can offer professional confidential support, allowing you more time to concentrate on the more important aspects of your business.
www.bonjourparis.com
Bonjour Paris is a multifaceted site that has been going since 1995 and bills itself as the Definitive Guide to Paris.
As well as a classified sales section there are plenty of articles from a host of talented writers, some already known to A Taste of Garlic.
The subject areas of Wine and Provence are aptly covered by Julie Mautner (www. ProvencePost.com) and Kristin Espinasse (French Word a Day).
Paris is covered by Shannon Vettes (je ne sais quoi)and Paul Prescott (Paris Inspired).
There are plenty of restaurant reviews – some of which live in the premium area which may be worth while checking out for anyone visiting Paris for more than a few hours as there are plenty of discounts available to members.
Overall, Bonjour Paris is a wealth of information and anyone thinking of visiting that city should really spend a few hours/evenings reviewing this site. It’s worth doing that just for the stories and articles alone!
www.thehemingwayproject.com
The Hemingway Project is an ongoing investigation in Hemingway and his frioends and family.
Although possibly more of interest to someone living in or visiting Paris, I feel that there is enough value in the site for it to be mentioned here.
The Hemingway Project is updated, on average, six times a month and contains interview transcripts, audio clips and videos.
I’ve got to admit… it’s strangely freaky to actually hear Syvia Beach or F. Scott, Fitzgerald talk!
All the best
