Frequently asked questions
As experts on all Paris’s assets & attractions, our PR team is happy to assist journalists and media with planning press visits, providing them with itinerary ideas, statistics and pictures to inspire your audience and illustrate your publications
Does Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau assist writers with fact checking?
Yes, our media relations staff is happy to assist writers in completing their articles about Paris, finding the appropriate contact for your questions or giving story ideas of places of interest and events not to be missed.
Does Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau host group press trips? If so, can I be added to the list of attendees for future press trips?
Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau does not regularly host group press trips, however, we do work individually with journalists on assignment. If completing your article requires a visit to Paris, please contact us to see how we can be of some help
When is the best time to arrange a press visit to Paris? When should I recommend that my readers visit the city?
Press visits usually work best during low season, which is traditionally during the winter and late summer but we do examine each request case-by-case.
Paris is the perfect example of a year-round destination, but readers can typically find lower hotel rates and fewer crowds between 1 November and 31 March.
Can Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau assist me with hotel accommodations?
We handle each journalist accommodation request individually, depending on the period, on the media and on the article planned. We work to connect visiting press with our hotel members who may extend an attractive media rate or in some special occasions, complimentary accommodations on a case-by-case basis. We do work to match each journalist with a hotel that best suits their story. While our priority is to be as accommodating as possible to working press, please note that hotels and attractions are not always able to accommodate spouses, children, and visitors that may be accompanying media.
