AND THE CHEAPEST
THE “TOURING CLUB DE FRANCE”
———
WHAT IS IT? WHAT ARE ITS USES?
The “Touring Club de France” (founded in 1890), is at the present time the largest Touring Association in the whole world. Its principal aim is to introduce France—admirable country and one of the loveliest on earth—to French people themselves and to foreigners.
It seeks to develop travel in all its forms, on foot, on horseback, on bicycle, in carriage, motor, yacht, or railway, and soon in aeroplane.
Every member of the Association receives a badge and an identity ticket free of charge, as also the “Revue Mensuelle” every month.
Members have also the benefit of special prices in a certain number of affiliated hotels; and this holds good for the purchase 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 traveling requisites, in the “Revue” (1 fr. per line). The “ComitÉ des Contentieux” is ready to give them counsel with regard to traveling, and 3,000 delegates in all the principal towns are able to give them advice and information about the curiosities of art or of nature in the neighborhood, as well as concerning the roads, hotels, motor-agents, garages, etc.
Members are accorded free passage 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.
