"OFFICE NATIONAL DU TOURISME"

17, Rue de Suresnes, PARIS-VIIIe

The "Office National du Tourisme" was created by Act of Parliament on 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 conditions 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.
