Bliss en Paradis Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hi there, I am writing a story *bookish novely thingy hehe* and it is set dans Paris *Mon amour* but I, not having been there myself yet, am in need of details.Anything and everything, simple and complex, shallow or deep. General and Paris' little kept secrets.Things such as which airport is the international *I really do know nothing, I've been researching but have limited timing at the moment*So if anyone who has been or is there, could you please, please, PLEASE email me at kisskiss_aaliyah@yahoo.com.au with anything and everything about Paris.Even a description of those little cobble-stoned streets I love so much, stores, jardins...Anything would be greatly appreciated. Merci beaucoup.*Even some French phrases....* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRT17 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 O.K.hands up! how many of us want to contribute a chapter for this new book? Is there a fee?Sorry Bliss en Paradis but couldn't you take yourself on a cheap Eurostar or TGV weekend to Paris and get the experience first hand.Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesLauriers Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Paris isn't in South Western France, not when I last looked anyway!S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I do hope so - because a book set in a city the author has never visited is going to be good, isn't it? However the email address suggests Australia... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRT17 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 next........search the 'net. Paris details (trains, planes and all the rest) will surely be listed somewhere!Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliss en Paradis Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Did that and who said South??I have been obsessed with Paris for ages but my memory has lost it all somehow...Writers block I reckon and I cant afford to go over there, if and when I could/can - I WILL. Forget it then...I've tried the net...not much there.Thanks...f.n... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormx Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Bliss, Have you started writing yet? Would love to see a sample of your work here and that might prompt more advice e.g. if you write something obviously incorrect about Paris, there will no doubt be lots of suggestions about how to correct...But also, why Paris? If you haven't been it will be hard to capture the atmosphere of the place, why not write about somewhere you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliss en Paradis Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 Well, I started writing (about 4-5 sets of 10-12 pages...) but then realised I need more research and so nothing is around now.I want to write about Paris because J'aime Paris! And because Auckland, *The place I -barely-know...* is a lousy thought.I write in a book at home *Crazy, I know* because I havent a computer or anything such at home, but I'll try to find/write something worthy of a mention.
