While travel memories are still fresh and vivid, we are requesting a short written description of an interesting or humorous event that occurred while traveling in France. This can be based on an experience or memory from any trip to France. It can also be a description of a unique or favorite area or property (a France: Homestyle rental, of course!). Please feel free to share this opportunity with friends or family members who have traveled to France.

Centrally located in the historic "Montagne Sainte Geneviève" neighborhood, 5th arrondissment, Montagne is a charming one bedroom, one bath within walking distance to le Panthéon, la Sorbonne, Boulevard St. Michel, Boulevard St. Germain, the Seine, and Notre-Dame. We look forward to hearing from all of you. The prize is well worth the effort, don't you think?

The length of the written material should be between 300 and 500 words. Our France: Homestyle staff will be handling the selection of the winner. (We're not accepting bribes!) The deadline for entries is September 30, 2003. The dates and details of the stay will be determined by mutual agreement between France: Homestyle and the lucky winner. The winning essay will be featured in our winter newsletter.

For those of you not yet familiar with France: Homestyle, we offer vacation rentals throughout France with the best possible service from our Seattle office and our many associates throughout France. We specialize in homes and apartments that impart the unique historic and cultural qualities of France.
