Its principal aim is to introduce France--one of the loveliest countries on earth--to the French people themselves and to tourists of other nations. It seeks to develop travel in all its forms: on foot, horseback, bicycle, in carriage, motor, yacht or railway, and, eventually, by aeroplane. Every member of the association receives a badge and an identity ticket, free of charge, and also the 'Revue Mensuelle' every month. Members have the benefit also of special prices in a certain number of affiliated hotels; and this advantage holds good in the purchasing of guide-books and Staff (Etat-major) maps, as well as those of the 'Ministère de l'Intérieur,' the T.C.F., etc. They may insert notices regarding the sale or purchase of travelling requisites, in the 'Revue' (1 fr. per line). The 'Comité de Contentieux' is ready to give them council with regard to travelling, and 3,000 delegates in all the principal towns are retained to give advice and information about the curiosities of art or of nature of the neighbourhood, as well as concerning the roads, hotels, motor-agents, garages, etc. Members are accorded free passages across the frontier for a bicycle or motor-bicycle. For a motor-car the association gives a 'Triptyque' ensuring free passage through the 'douane,' etc. * * * * * TO TOUR FRANCE IN COMFORT JOIN THE 'TOURING-CLUB DE FRANCE' +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | IN MEMORY OF THE MICHELIN EMPLOYEES AND WORKMEN WHO DIED | | GLORIOUSLY FOR THEIR COUNTRY. | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+
