FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Paul Stanton, Director of Corporate Affairs 972-233-8448 PARIS PLUS TOPS 10,000 NORTH AMERICAN CUSTOMERS IN 1999 Pressing Provence and Brittany in 2000 Since 1986, Paris Plus has been an innovative force in the creation of new and exciting travel products and services for the independent traveler to France. Our current slogan is a moniker that best signals our scope of offerings: FRANCE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS! We are one of the largest land-only wholesalers in North America assisting more than 10,000 clients in 1999. We appreciate the support of repeat customers and the precious 'word-of-mouth' advertising we have enjoyed during the past 14 years and for the new decade ahead. The fun & fancy of our new destination offerings, in a lot of cases, have been missed by the North American market- Provence and Brittany; two lovely regions awaiting clients with open arms. In addition to promoting the Bed & Breakfast Charming Country Inns of Brittany, we are pleased to be a leader with our Millennium Year 2000 Provence Cooking School and the Watercolors á la Provence; two new recreational programs. And, what interest we have received on both of these outings! We have focused on a wonderful three-star Hostellerie (née from an 11th century monastery) in the gorgeous Bandol wine growing & cuisine area of Var the region roughly defined by Marseille, Toulon and Aix-en-Provence. The graciousness of the Hostellerie owners/chef instructors made our final selection of venues even more convincing. From all indications thusfar, these two programs will be big successes; however, classes are limited to twelve 'students' and some dates already sold out, so customers best not wait long before making their reservation! Our 12 Paris sightseeing in-city programs (including the new Helicopter program), 35 excursions outside Paris, and 30 Paris At Night (Sightseeing/Cabaret Shows/Dinner-Dances) provide customers with the largest selection possible of established programs operated by motorcoach or minivans.
