'OFFICE NATIONAL DU TOURISME'

_17, Rue de Surène, PARIS (VIIIᵉ)_

The 'Office National du Tourisme' was created by an Act of April 8, 1910, and reorganised 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 condition 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 arranges for the creation of travel enquiry 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 ENQUIRIES WITH REGARD TO TRAVELLING
SHOULD BE ADDRESSED
TO THE 'TOURING-CLUB DE FRANCE'

65, Avenue de la Grande Armée, 65
PARIS

'THE TOURING-CLUB DE FRANCE'

ADVANTAGES OF MEMBERSHIP

The 'Touring-Club de France' (founded in 1890), is at the present time the largest touring association in the world. Its principal aim is to introduce France--one of the loveliest countries on earth--to the French people themselves and to tourists of other nations.

It seeks to develop travel in all its forms: on foot, horseback, bicycle, in carriage, motor, yacht or railway, and, eventually, by aeroplane.

Every member of the association receives a badge and an identity ticket, free of charge, and also the 'Revue Mensuelle' every month.

Members have the benefit also of special prices in a certain number of affiliated hotels; and this advantage holds good in the purchasing of guide-books and Staff (Etat-major) maps, as well as those of the 'Ministère de l'Intérieur,' the T.C.F., etc. They may insert notices regarding the sale or purchase of travelling requisites, in the 'Revue' (1 fr. per line). The 'Comité de Contentieux' is ready to give them council with regard to travelling, and 3,000 delegates in all the principal towns are retained to give advice and information about the curiosities of art or of nature of the neighbourhood, as well as concerning the roads, hotels, motor-agents, garages, etc.

Members are accorded free passages across the frontier for a bicycle or motor-bicycle. For a motor-car the association gives a 'Triptyque' ensuring free passage through the 'douane,' etc.
