‘OFFICE NATIONAL DU TOURISME’

_17, Rue de Surène, PARIS-8^e_

The ‘Office National du Tourisme’ was created by Act of Parliament on

April 8th 1910, and reorganized in 1917. It enjoys civil privileges and

financial autonomy.

It is directed by an Administrative Council chosen by the Minister of

Public Works.

Its mission is to seek out every means of developing travel; to urge,

and if necessary to take any measure capable of ameliorating the

conditions of the transport, circulation and sojourn of tourists.

It co-ordinates the efforts of touring societies and industries,

encourages them in the execution of their programmes and stimulates

legislative and administrative initiative with regard to the

development of travel in France.

It promotes understanding between the Public Services, the great

Transport Companies, the ‘Syndicats d’Initiative’ and the ‘Syndicats

Professionnels’.

It organises propaganda in foreign countries; and tends towards the

creation of Travel Inquiry Offices in France and abroad, with a view

to making known the scenery and monuments of France, as well as the

health-giving powers of French mineral waters, spas and bathing places.

ALL INQUIRIES WITH REGARD TO TRAVELLING SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE

‘TOURING-CLUB DE FRANCE’
