Created in 1987 under the authority of the French Ministry of Tourism, Atout France – formerly called Maison de la France – is a G.I.E. (Groupement d'intérêt économique, an association for developing commercial interests) responsible for the promotion of France as a holiday destination, within the country itself and abroad.

It serves to foster partnerships between the State, regional groups, stakeholders in the private sector of the tourism industry and those in other major sectors of the economy.

While based in Paris, Atout France has 1,250 members and operates in 28 countries through its 33 branch offices. Every year, some 2,000 initiatives are carried out in France and worldwide (public information, press relations, sales promotion, analysis of foreign markets).

Discover France is pleased to join organizations such as Air France, the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, Peugeot, and others in supporting Atout France. We invite you to order your copy of the colorful and informative FranceGuide Magazine (96 pages; $2.00 handling cost).
