The legendary Tour de France!

Tour de FranceWell, there´s no doubt that this is tops in Europe if not the world. From late June through late July, the Tour unfolds over roughly 3,300–3,500 kilometers (2,050-2,175 mi.) in a three-week circuit that changes course annually. And it´s really more than just a bicycle race—starting towns, mountain villages, vineyards and coastlines become waystations in a moving festival of sport. Riders climb high Alpine cols above Mont Blanc, sprint along the lavender-scented roads of Provence,…

Guadeloupe and 8 of its top highlights

Hugo Elby Shaped like a butterfly from the air, Guadeloupe somehow slips between the cracks when it comes to booking travel to the Caribbean, in favor of the likes of Barbados, Jamaica, Aruba, and the Dominican Republic. But that´s actually part of its appeal.Guadeloupe is actually an overseas département of France, meaning the euro is the currency, baguettes appear everywhere, and locals carry French passports while living amid rainforests, volcanoes, and palm-lined beaches. Around 380,000…

    Just want to introduce you to Wine Travel Guides website (you might want to add the site to the list above). We have 46 micro-region travel guides to all the major wine regions in France. Written by independent wine and travel writers (including some well-known authors and Masters of Wine), the guides give recommendations of wineries to visit, places to stay, eat and shop, as well as regional wine and tourism basics. Do take a look. All the info is free to view on the website - PDF downloads are available to purchase singly or by annual full access membership for ease of saving/printing. We update regularly. Do feel free to ask me questions if you are planning a wine tour in France!

    I will be on assignment in Europe between May 10 and May 30 attending the Institute of Travel & Meetings Annual Conference at Chelsea FC, Stamford Bridge, London, England (May12 & 13) and the IMEX 2010 Incentive Travel, Meetings & Events Exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany (May 25, 26 & 27). I am looking to fill my schedule in the time between these two events (May 14-24) covering a number of business travel; meetings, incentives, conventions & events topics. I already have some tentative plans in Liverpool, London, Paris and Frankfurt – if anyone has any assignment suggestions or “must see” recommendations related to business travel or meetings, incentives, conventions & events topics please let me know…

    Thank you David: I was racking my brains. The NYC office is proactive - the Paris office is .....
    Glad you were ale to locate the UK office. It's so easy from people to cross the Channel - Chunnel -- unless the weather is in the deep freeze.

    Does anyone know who the PR for the Paris Tourist Office is? I'd really be glad if you could drop me a line with their name and contact details if you have even the slightest clue!

    Some people don't think Paris is lively enough. For club goers, the all-night rule will be a boon for business. BUT - FYI - there have always been some private clubs in Paris that have stayed open until dawn!

    Good news for partiers, bad news for snoozers: new French government decree allows all nightclubs to stay open till dawn. Read more.
