Dinner in Paris with blogging expert Guillaume du Gardier

Had a delightful dinner in Paris with Guillaume du Gardier.  He writes an intelligent blog, PR Thoughts, in French and English. He's even more impressive in person. He's established a niche for himself as the go-to guy in Paris for business blogging. He told us (all in French... !) that he invited SixApart.com's European head, Loïc Le Meur, to meet him for breakfast. By lunchtime, Guillaume's PR Planet had been hired to handle Six Apart's PR activities in Europe France. He's also one of the organizers of Les Blogs in Paris on April 25, 2005.

Here's Guillaume's write up of our dinner in a little brasserie on the Left Bank.

It was a pleasure to meet you Debbie ! Just one point: I've been hired by Loïc for his PR activities in France, not for all Europe...;o)
If Loïc has been hiring me so quickly it is mainly because he is a man who is able to make quick decisions and because I was the first and only PR Pro blogger in France at that time. He certainly also felt that I could be of good help of course, but this has really been an impressive and great RDV for me. I couldn't imagine when I called him the first time he would agree to meet so quickly as I suspected him to be so difficult to reach, also because I was really nothing in the blogosphere at that time, but he has been very open and accepted to meet me. A nice story indeed and a good souvenir.
