A 33-year-old British expat in Paris who blogs under the pseudonym "La Petite Anglaise" and tells of love affairs and office bloopers with self-deprecating, "Bridget Jones"-style humor may now have more time for blogging. Her employer, British accounting firm Dixon Wilson, fired her after learning about the popular blog, citing "loss of trust" and damage to its reputation. Now the blogger is suing in what some view as a test case in France, where there have been few cases of bloggers getting fired.

The 33-year-old British expat in Paris writes under the pseudonym “La Petite Anglaise” and tells of love affairs, single motherhood and office bloopers with self-deprecating, “Bridget Jones”-style humor.
She kept her popular blog anonymous, never revealing her full name or workplace. But despite her attempts at secrecy, her employer found out and fired her — unusual in labor-protected France, where workers have strong legal protections.
