France: meeting the French

“In my tipically parisian style appartment, let?s discuss painting, arts, politics, theater, sports travel, business … in a very open-minded manner” : capital?s residents are increasing willing to share some time around a meal to meet tourists. They need to have a reasonable level of English or to speak spanish, italian, german, or chinese. This new service is now offered in Paris by a new woman?s business, called “Meeting the French”. 40 hosts are now available and ready to help international visitors to be more familiar with a lively french culture, and to enjoy a multicultural experience in their home. The tourism agency arranges the meal for the hosts, according to the tourists?s wishes. A quality charter rules the principle of this service for all parts? satisfaction. On the behalf of a partnership with the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau, Meeting the French could also organize company guided tours. If you have the opportunity to spend some time in Paris, try perhaps this new tourism formula which seems well suited to the changing patterns of this new century. See www.meetingthefrench.com
