Hi S'Mark
Yeah I had this problem when i went to see the hunebedden, and the way round it I found was to host the images on my own website and point the links in my weblogs to the pics on my website. Then i realised that with a simple html tag <img src="http://www.nameofyourFrenchpiccyhere.jpg" />
(dunno, if you know anything about html, I certainly don't, i only speak 'schoolgirl' html) you can get the images to appear in your weblogs.
One way of doing it, might be to use one of those online photoalbums (something like yahoo perhaps?http://uk.photos.yahoo.com/) to upload your lovely French images to, then using the image source html tag to point the browser to those, et, voila! they appear as if by magic in your weblog....
Does any of that make any sense at all?
