This blog is a true cross-cultural adventure, written by two people from different countries who have never met. Sarah lives in Seattle, USA and Valentina is Italian but lives in Marseille, France.

In Franglish, Sarah and Valentina take turns to publish a letter to the other one about what’s going on in their lives. The project started in April 2008 and they will exchange letters via their blog for one year.

On a different topic, many thanks to La of Coastal Commentaries who nominated PocketCultures for an ‘I heart your blog’ award. We are very honoured.

At this point I am supposed to pass on the award to seven more blogs, however we have written about so many great and lovely blogs here on Blogs of the World, it was too difficult to pick favourites. So please take your pick from the other posts. Thanks again La!

More than 3 years ago Eric had the idea of posting one photo every day of his town, Paris. His blog ParisDailyPhoto now contains hundreds of photos taken all over Paris.

There are famous monuments, exhibitions, even a peep inside a Parisian flat. It’s a great way to discover the city, especially as with each photo Eric explains some aspect of the many facets of Parisian life.

This original idea has inspired many other people to create daily photo sites of their towns. The City Daily Photo network now counts more than 680 photo blogs from all over the world. Impressive!

A group blog by a collection of Paris bloggers, The Paris Blog is an eclectic guide to Paris, offering at least one new piece every day. The writers all live in Paris; some are french and some are expats, giving a range of views on French culture. All have a voracious appetite for exploring and sharing every aspect of life in this beautiful city.

Are you from Paris or have you spent time in Paris? Do you think this blog gives a good idea of life in Paris or France in general? Please leave a comment and tell us what you think.

An American with a French father, La Coquette has lived in Paris for 4 years and writes about life in her father’s home country. Fashion is a recurring theme, but she also comments on a range of other topics. Her style is witty, original and very readable.
