Just to give you an example of how LOW this can get, I once had an  
article published by a magazine and got paid 450 Euros for 3 full  
pages. Pictures and text.
That's for a magazine that prints 250000 copies a month. Luckily not  
all magazines are like that...

All the best from the south of France!
