Success in Salt Lake City!

On Sunday, Monique gave a PowerPoint presentation to a group at the Alliance Française of Salt Lake City. It was a smashing success!

Janick Barger, director of the Alliance Française, publicized the event in the organization’s newsletter. She also asked a journalist at the local paper, the Salt Lake Tribune, to post an announcement. Over seventy people showed up on a sunny Sunday afternoon to hear Monique speak!

The talk lasted for about an hour, followed by a question and answer period. Monique first presented a photograph of her and me beneath the glass pyramid at the Louvre, and talked about how we came to Paris and began exploring the city. She then talked about the Paris Insights newsletter, which is the origin of our book, Paris Insights - An Anthology. She talked about the inspiration behind each of the book's chapters, and shared several photos with the audience. She ended by telling everyone how they could follow Paris Insights through our blog, Facebook, and Twitter, and invited people to sign up for our mailing list to receive newsletter announcements. Everyone who did received a free e-gift from Discover Paris!

About fifteen minutes of questions and answers followed. Then Monique joined everyone in the lobby for the book sale. She actually sold more newsletter subscriptions than books! She went there with fifteen books and left with only three. She also received two requests for information about our travel planning services, which is Discover Paris!' main business.

Mission accomplished!
