A few of the guests at La France Profonde's third anniversary party
Today I am celebrating La France Profonde's third anniversary -- and my 300th France Profonde post.
I'm a few days late, as I actually started this blog on December 23, 2008. But I thought it would be nice to coincide with the 300th post. Plus, after three years, what's a day or two?
For this significant event, I took a look back over some old posts as well as my comment history.
First, what has been the most commented-on post on La France Profonde? I thought it would be this one, but actually it was:
Is life really a bitch without big chocolate chips?
So I guess among my readers, food wins out over politics any time.
I also made a list of a few of my favorites posts, in no particular order:
Traces of cafés past
Good-bye little bird -- and don't forget to fly home
An Odd Couple
La Gare de Rodez at Dawn
Old reflects against new
The latter post also contains what may be my favorite photo -- at least among those that I've taken:
After that, I also took a rather quick look at my early comments. I had been writing this blog for over a month before I got a comment that just "came in" from somebody I didn't know: on February 4, 2006, on a post about the local Bosch factory, I received a comment from Stéphan R., who kept up the Toulouse, One Day, One Photo blog very nicely for almost two years before disappearing from the blogosphere in May 2007.
I often wonder what happened to Stéphan, and I suspect if I went back carefully over my comments, I would find plenty of bloggers that I was in touch with for months before either their blog or our communication dwindled down to nothing.
But for now, I'm here, and La France Profonde is going into its fourth year with no plans to change much of anything.
Un grand merci to all of my readers for your comments and support!

Keep up the fantastic work. You're a real gem, mon amie.

I can't even fathom three years on the tubes. Just make sure that if YOU plan on disappearing, you at least leave behind a note!
Congratulations. I don't even know how long I've been blogging. Maybe I should look at my stats.
Thank you for all of the best wishes.
Don't worry, Randal, I have absolutely no plans of disappearing -- especially not from this blog!
Happy anniversary Betty.
Happy Blogiversary! Here's to many more posts!

A great anniversary and productive 2009 to you! Looking forward to more...
My word verification is: bressed. I hope I don't end up in the market with my feathers plucked!
wcs -- Aren't those word verifications something lately? I almost wonder if they are pulling stuff out of our blog posts...
Happy 3rd and 300th!!!
I think I know those cows...
I always had them watching me in the Vendee, Here we have no livestock, all cereals and grapes!
