I am an American in Paris…
I came to Paris one year as a study abroad student, yes…I know, SO typical!, and I decided to make it my home. Years later I am still in love with this city, although I do allow myself the right to complain about the annoying sides to Paris. I pay my city tax, so I take that perogative. 
Besides, I hope to spend my life here!
Author of this blog, here you will find my musings, my ideas, Paris fashion, places I love, things I test, things I taste, travel tips, inspirations and more… all surrounding the obvious theme and my muse : Paris, France.
Je suis une Américaine à Paris…
Je suis venue à Paris un an pour des études, oui…je sais trop typique!, et finalement je me suis retrouvée chez moi ici. Des années plus tard je suis toujours amoureuse de cette ville, même si je me permets de râler sur ses côtés énervants. Je paye ma taxe d’habitation, donc je prends cette liberté. De toute façon, j’espère passer ma vie ici!
Auteur de ce blog, vous trouverez ici mes réflexions, mes idées, la mode à Paris, des endroits que j’aime, des choses que j’essaye, que je goûte, des conseils de voyage, mes inspirations, et encore… tout cela autour du thème évident, ma muse : Paris, la France.
Bises!
Melissa Ladd
Hey, I work with the CheapOair travel blog (cheapoair.typepad.com) and we’re interested in having you guest blog for us. Please contact me if you’re interested. Thanks! Aldo.
Intriguing. What kind of blog post where you looking for? Anything in particular? Other than the obvious subject of Paris!
Hi there,
I’d like to invite you to become a contributor to The Paris Blog. PLease contact me to discuss!
Hi, nice to meet you !
Hi Melissa.
I may have some material suitable for the ‘romantic section’ of your blog. Head over to my site and let me know what you think.

Best regards.
Ian.
Ian, I don’t normally care for others self promoting on my blog comments, but um.. that little blond boy on the front page of your site is so adorable, eating a macaron, wide, eyes and a crumb hanging from his mouth… I couldn’t resist and believe everyone should see it! LOL! I want one JUST like that!
Hi Melissa.
To be honest I wasn’t trying to self promote. I was simply wondering if you’d like to do an article as I thought it may be of interest to some of your readers.
I couldn’t actually find your contact details on the site so simply figured that a comment would be the best way to reach you.
Apologies.
Anyway glad you like the little boy enjoying his macaron!
Ian.
No apologies needed Ian! email me at pretemoiparis@gmail.com
Hi Melissa
My name is Franki Goodwin, I am one half of Mademoiselle London – an art and poetry duo based in Paris who write and draw about this wonderful and infuriating place – and we’ve just self-published a book.
I’d love to send you a copy with the hope that you might love it and be compelled to tell your readers about it (a perfect xmas gift for any francophile!).
Please send me your postal address and I’ll get one out to you, I could even deliver it myself if you had time for a quick coffee?
Many thanks
Franki
Lovely blog!
Hi Melissa I really love your blog…
I know that you have thousands of ideas, but if you want to use some of my contacts for your blog i will help you with a great pleasure.
A friend of mine , Michelle Boor, an american girl leaving in Paris, created her own brand of shoes” Vouelle”. I m sure it would be a good idea for your blog to meet her and discuss with her…

Hello,
I’m writing to you about your blog Prete Moi Paris as the quality of your work is very interesting to us and our publication.
We are Paris Select Book and we work in partnership with 130 luxury hotels in Paris as publishers of a luxury guide book on Paris.
In a few days, the Paris Select iPhone and iPad application will go live. We have been working alongside other media organisations to get as much publicity and exposure for the event as possible.
This innovative and unique application has already caught the attention of several large organisations in Paris (Opéra de Paris, le Palais des Congrès de Paris, les Galeries Lafayette, les Cars Rouges) so we truly believe that this is going to be a great success.
If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, please let us know because in the next few days we will be sending out our press kit and a preview of the flash code for the application that you will be able to download for free.
We hope that in reading about our publication both in the press kit and on the application that you will see the same kind of quality that we have recognised in your own work, and that perhaps you would be willing to write an article about us. In return we would be more than happy to promote your site throughout our own social networks (Facebook, Twitter).
I look forward to hearing from you shortly,
–
Yours faithfully,
–
Bien cordialement,
Mme Nathalie Fréoa
Advertising Manager
