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.

Survive France is a brilliant site, of which I’m proud to be a member (although I do worry about the sanity of any sites that allow me to be a member!)
Survive France is a new sort of site; not really forum, not really blog, that has loads of different groups that cater to almost every interest – if there isn’t a suitable one there, you can start your own.
There isn’t, as yet, a group dedicated to Andouillette Eating Competitions but as the site is growing very fast (already 740 members), I’m sure it won’t be long!
As well of plenty of good advice Survive France has a great sense of friendship and support.
Although I said that it’s not really forum and not really blog, there are forums on the site and you can also post blog articles as well.
Rather than let me confuse you by trying to explain it all, you should really just take a peek yourself and ask one of the other members – in other words, someone who knows what they are talking about!
Hope to see you there. I’ll be the one sat in the corner waiting patiently for someone to start up an Andouillette Eating Competition Group!
You can find the site at www.survivefrance.com – please visit and join in the fun!

The French Corner is a great resource for learning French and, more importantly, how to have fun learning French.
There really is something for everyone on this site. Videos, music and Comic Books.
The lessons are really fun and you can learn something new every day.
For example, did you know that Ça boume? is slang for How’s it going? No? Shame on you!
You can find the site at www.thefrenchcorner.net – why not take a look and make learning French, fun! Tu piges? (You get it?) – you will!
All the best
