Congrats to PVE Designs for their winning entry!
And thanks to everyone for entering the contest!

I love Paris because of its hidden places. It makes me nostalgic. And when it's not to late I love it when I'm lost …
I love Paris because it is a unique combination of fabulous food, history, fashion and culture and it manages to be simultaneously rushing towards the future and embracing the past.
I love Paris for inspiration — design, fashion, a way of looking at life
With so many great reasons to love Paris it's no wonder you such great comments!! Why do I love Paris? For the antiques, bien sur!
I love Paris for all the history, the art, the accent and the flair for life, food and love!

Because it is where we met lots of wonderful friends and had the time of our lives!
Very Good website. I like the contents. From http://www.quickflowersberlin.com.
C’est incroyable! Paris is a city of fun, fashion and fantasies . . . as the song goes, I love Paris in the fall! Salut, Valerie !
This app is amazing! Def the best $1.99 ever spent. I am planning my trip to Paris for the spring. In the meantime I am pouring over all of the fabulous information and will pine over the photos. Thank you Claudia!
I like Paris…when I'M THERE!!! 🙂
Not that i'm too cheap to pay $1.99 for an app, but i love the idea of winning something! I love Paris in the fall when the big leaves are falling to the sidewalk and i can walk on them on my way to the metro. Miss being there!
I have to agree with Jacky: J'adore Paris because it is Paris. You can lose yourself, and then find yourself, in Paris. And with a key to the fleas I can take a bring a bit of Paris chez moi in my suitcase.
Mais Oui – Paris! There is so much to love about Paris – wine, pastries, antiques, fruit de mer, culture, museums, gosh this could be a huge list! And then there are also Parisian men oh la la! The app is very cool – can't wait!!
J'adore Paris!! Why? Because it's Paris!!!
