On 29th Octobre 2025, I had the honor to receive the special price award from French online daily “Le Petit Journal”.
Five awards were given on that day: Entrepreneurship, Culture, Social and welfare, most voted price and special price. I was nominated for the special price, rewarding my involvement in the French community for many years as well as the blog Shanghailander.net that has been running for nearly 20 years.

The award was given to me by the French Consul General in Shanghai, Mr Johann Valadou. The award ceremony tool place at Villa Basset, the French Consul General residence in Shanghai.

Shanghailander and my long term passion for Old Shanghai have been rewarded in the past with an award from the Shanghai 3rd culture festival in 2024 as well as an honorary diploma from the French “Société d’histoire des Français de Chine” in 2017.
