CITYBREAK POWERS UP FRENCH TOP DESTINATIONS!
The cities of MARSEILLE, RENNES, REIMS, and the famous high class sea resort of LA BAULE have chosen Citybreak for their online sales and e-business platform. REIMS, the baptism of Clovis, the anointing of kings, the town has been fashioned by all the high points of France’s History. The REIMS Tourist Office is already selling online thanks to Citybreak, and a lot of new offers, including Champagne cellar visits, and restaurant+hotel packages will be sold thru Citybreak. Please visit www.reims-tourisme.com. MARSEILLE, the city area, twice as big as Paris, spreads over 57 kilometers of coastline, protected by the surrounding hills, which are the natural frontiers of its territory. The Tourism and Congress office of the second largest French city is in the process of a complete remodelling of its website and has planned to release online sales with Citybreak later this autumn. RENNES, capital of Brittany, a Metropolis of art and history, should not be missed by anyone wanting a better understanding of Breton reality, past and present. The Rennes Metropole Tourism office is planning to offer hotel accommodation and weekend packages by the beginning of October 2007. The website should be renewed later this year (www.tourisme-rennes.com). LA BAULE is warmed by an exceptionally mild climate, the Atlantic at La Baule laps the shores of a 9km beach of fine white sand, providing you with the best benefits and enjoyment a seaside holiday has to offer. The Tourism Office is currently putting up all offers into Citybreak and we can expect to see online sales in a few weeks from now. Visit www.labaule.fr.
