Puttin' On the Ritz - Celebrity Honeymooners in Paris

Paris is one of the most romantic cities in the world. No wonder it's a top honeymoon destination. Newlyweds Isla Fischer and Sacha Baron Cohen spent their honeymoon in the Coco Chanel Suite at The Ritz in Paris. Sure, their lavish two-bedroom enclave was once inhabited by the fashion designer, but the lovebirds probably had something else on their minds. Controversial couple, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, also stayed at The Ritz during their honeymoon. In fact, love addicts can bed down in a suite where Audrey Hepburn and Gary Cooper flirted while shooting Love in the Afternoon.

Feel like cashing in on all the romance? GE is giving away $20,000 in their GE Appliance Cash Sweepstakes. That's enough cash for a trip to Paris. Get ritzy and enter.

Châteaux Style

France is littered with châteaux worth visiting. Four hours outside of Paris, in the north east region of Lorraine, the early 18th century 82-room Baroque Château de Haroué beckons this May. Besides featuring a contemporary art show in conjunction with le Centre Pompidou-Metz, the château will also showcase an unusual exhibition of 40 evening gowns curated by fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy (Yes, he's still alive at 83!). It won't take much to imagine someone wearing these remarkable creations in this historic venue. On display will be stunning haute couture dresses from the French triumvirate: Givenchy, Cristobal Balenciaga, and Philippe Venet. If that long black satin Givenchy number looks familiar that's because Audrey Hepburn wore it in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Prefer some funds to get there? Myrecipes.com is running a $5,000 Grocery Giveaway. My recipe? Stick to a model diet, and you'll have plenty to spare to visit France. Get stylish and enter.
