In the last 6 months, 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. Stroll along its streets and discover a rich heritage: Notre-Dame Cathedral, Palais du Tau, Saint-Remi Basilica and Abbey Museum, Unesco World Heritage Sites, its pedestrian Art Déco and historic Reims circuits. And then succumb to the pleasures of fine food… and of the famous CHAMPAGNE wines. 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.

MARSEILLE... a tourist destination ? This may seem surprising, but the first visit will convince you that this true. When you see its location, the quality of life offered by the city, it becomes clear. 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 very image of Marseille, the statue of the "Bonne Mère" of Notre-Dame de la Garde, watches over its 820,900 inhabitants and its mosaic of 111 villages. You can see it, wherever you are in the city, standing majestically on the highest point of the city at 154 meters. On the background of the sea, where the sunset offers a palette of extraordinary colors every day, islands archipelago stand out. One island possesses a world-famous castle: the Château d'If. Of course, many sites evoking Marseille could be listed here. But there are other less well-known features of Marseille, which should be mentioned, if you are interested in nature, history or culture. The Tourism and Congress office of the 2nd largest french city, is in the process of a complete remodeling 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. It expresses its strong cultural identity through one of its major buildings, the Palace of the Breton Parliament which underlies the history of Brittany at the same time as bearing witness to France’s exceptional 17th-century pictorial art.
The Rennes Metropole Tourism office is planning to offer hotel accomodation and weekend packages by the beginning of october 2007. While 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.
Here in La Baule, there is a long tradition in cultivating the art of living. The welcome you receive is matched only by the glorious bay, and is a far cry from the stresses and frantic activity of everyday life.
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.
