14.18 - More France in your inbox: Anniversary Bonus for You FOR DAYS ONLY...
Always celebrating my milestones and the celebratory bonus is for you! Plus articles about French language journeys, French arts & culture + the joys of negotiation and buying property in France...
Bonjour, this edition of le Bulletin is a celebration of my first anniversary on the Substack platform.
Moving le Bulletin from Mailchimp to Substack one year ago has been a game-changer for me! However, it remains the newsletter of MyFrenchLife.org - MaVieFrancaise: the magazine—still the same newsletter to you. So in that sense, le Bulletin is still the way you find out about the new articles in the magazine—articles about France beyond the cliché.
Those who know me are aware that I like to celebrate milestones!
How long?
The number on each le Bulletin is a celebration too. This edition is numbered 14.18 which means I’ve been writing and sending out le Bulletin in some form for 14 years and 18 weeks—yes, a long time.
Where is the audience?
I’m thrilled that le Bulletin is now read by a global Francophile audience—Merci mille fois
Today is another celebration: 1 year on Substack!
12 months of writing two le Bulletin newsletters weekly, one for free subscribers and another for paying subscribers.
My milestone, your bonus
I’d like you to have reason to celebrate too, so here is your bonus.
When you upgrade to become an annual subscriber of le Bulletin, I will give you a complimentary subscription of an extra 3 months.
**This means that you’ll have a paid subscription for 15 months for the price of 12 months!
Your bonus is available until Wednesday 15 May GMT!
An annual subscription of 45 euros plus our ‘anniversary bonus’ means you’ll receive each le Bulletin for much less than 1 euro per edition for 15 months.
Now is the time to take advantage of your bonus.
If you take up an annual subscription for 45 euros, I undertake to top it up with a 3-month complimentary subscription, so you’ll have a 15-month subscription for the annual price.
Offer closes Wednesday 15 May 17:00 GMT. Here is the button to upgrade now.
Merci.
