FOREWORD
Bienvenue à Paris! We wish you a warm welcome.
The City of Paris, the Paris Convention Bureau, Viparis and the Paris tourism industry are very proud
to host the ESC Congress for the first time. It is an opportunity for us to show how the destination can
combine a fruitful scientific programme with the magic of Paris on such a large scale.
Paris has a long experience of hosting international congresses. Among its many attractions, our city
can boast of an unequalled geographical location in the centre of Europe, an efficient public transport
network, state-of-the-art congress facilities, and one of the largest accommodation capacities in the
world.
Each year, more than 27 million visitors come to enjoy Paris’s unique culture and history and its
renowned lifestyle. Alongside its image of Capital of Arts and Culture, Paris is a creative destination,
in perpetual renewal, always on the move, a buzzing modern city with trendy bars and restaurants and
vibrant nightlife.
Each congress is unique, and above all it is important to us that the ESC, you as their major supporters,
and the delegates attending the congress will find it a memorable experience. We are coordinating all
the institutions and partners involved in the hosting of the congress, and we are taking special care to
provide all the information we can to help the attendees organize their travel serenely and enjoy the
congress and all that Paris has to offer.
The signature of our Convention Bureau is “We make Paris easy” and we shall help you to make Paris
outstanding. Paris offers an unequalled number of venues, museums, restaurants … which can be
privatized for the pleasure of the attendees.
The whole destination is behind us to wish you a warm welcome to our city.
Best regards,

YOUR DESTINATION: PARIS!
YOUR DESTINATION: PARIS!
ONE OF THE MOST VISITED CITIES
Paris welcomes more than 27 million visitors each year, of which 44% come for business. According to
different surveys, our French capital leaves a lasting impression on our visitors, who are unanimous
in rating it as one of the top destinations. Paris ranks first place among European cities for gastronomy
and shopping, and its romantic atmosphere makes it the world’s most charismatic city.
This attractiveness does not only relate to leisure tourism: in the congress sector, participation is
between 10% and 30% higher if the congress is held in Paris, compared to other destinations.
THE ESC CONGRESS CHOSE PARIS FOR ITS ADVANTAGES:
1. Outstanding access for delegates worldwide.
2. One of the world’s cheapest and densest city transportation networks.
3. Your congress venue: Paris Nord Villepinte.
4. Leading accommodation facilities with specific conditions for associations.
5. Infinite numbers of possibilities for your social events.
6. Attractive and prestigious cultural destination.
7. Paris, a city for every taste and every budget.
8. Extensive know-how and a shared passion for success.
9. City-wide commitment from institutions and meetings industry professionals.
10. Up to 30% more attendance than anywhere else in the world.
THE PARIS CONVENTION BUREAU (PCB): YOUR KEY PARTNER
Set up in 1971 as a joint initiative by the Paris City Council and the Paris Chamber of Commerce and
Industry as a non-profit association, the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau has three missions:
to welcome and inform visitors and tourism professionals, and to promote the assets of the capital
in France and abroad with regard to business and leisure tourism.
• It welcomes visitors at its six offices, located in the capital’s busiest locations.
• The portal website parisinfo.com is the key reference for tourist information about Paris.
www.convention.parisinfo.com is the part of the site dedicated to associations and the
corporate sector.
• It brings together professional and institutional partners to organize joint actions
to enhance the image of Paris as the global tourism capital.
• It organizes press visits for journalists as part of initiatives to promote Paris and its image.
• It represents the views of Parisian tourism professionals in dealings with the relevant
institutions and committees.
At the head of the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau, Paul Roll created the Paris Convention
Bureau in 2004 and assigned a team of 7 people to associations and the corporate sector.

OUR TASKS, OUR TEAMS
Led by Christine de Gouvion Saint-Cyr, Secretary General, the PCB is the destination’s gateway and
advises and supports associations and the corporate sector. The intense economic activity of Paris –
Île-de-France benefits from the destination’s extensive capacities for hosting meetings and events.
Paris has a vast and varied range of different types of venues to cater for all kinds of events (congresses, evening events, meetings, etc.) and suit the budgets of all categories of participants (researchers,
companies, students, etc.). What sets Paris apart from its rivals is its abundant and eclectic range of
hotel accommodation. It benefits from the know-how of the major hotel chains, from one-star hotels
to the most prestigious establishments. Venues range from specialist sites to more unusual places
(museums, parks, etc.), and there are always new ones to choose from.
The PCB makes your Paris easy …

THE CONGRESS TEAM
OUR MISSION
We help in the early stages of the preparation of bids for hosting congresses, recommending service
providers, organizing site visits, and lobbying, which may include presenting Paris to the association’s
international committee. In the later stages, we remain available to help promote the congress and
supply the organizers with tourist documentation about the capital. This is an ongoing process that
can last for between two and ten years, which is why we maintain close links with the associations and
professionals involved in each bid. To bring the ESC Congress to Paris we have been working for more
than four years and Paris succeeded in winning the bid after having clearly shown its ability to host
such a large congress.
THE TEAM
Given the importance of the ESC Congress 2011 for Paris, Cécile Mairaville is the project leader and

Our role is to advise the organizers of corporate events: companies or the agencies acting on their
behalf.
To this end, the corporate events team responds to requests for assistance, examines requests
and recommends the Parisian service providers that best respond to the organizers’ criteria.
Lastly, we offer event organizers a range of tools to help them in their decision-making and provide
them with all the necessary information on the destination. To fulfil all these missions, we draw on the
resources of our network of members which is constantly developing, always on the lookout for new
products and services. We encourage our members to become involved in joint projects, bring them
together for discussions and exchanges, and keep them up to date with changes in the profession or in
markets thanks to our ongoing business intelligence activities.

THE RATP
A unique urban network!
Although the RATP may operate classic buses from the past for timeless trips through Paris ... more
generally, it is concerned with transporting 10 million people per day in safety, punctually and in good
quality conditions that it is constantly seeking to improve.
For the ESC Congress 2011, the RATP is active on the transport committee and from 27 to 31 August
2011 plans to: increase the frequency of metros and RERs; programme with the SNCF transilien at
least 50% of RERs directly serving Paris Nord Villepinte Parc des Expositions; enhance welcome and
security measures in order to make travel as smooth as possible for congress attendees …
Getting around inner Paris couldn’t be easier; all the venues and sights
are easily accessible thanks to the 14 metro lines serving 350 regularly
renovated stations, 5 RER (regional express) lines and 4,500 buses operating on 321 routes and 31 Noctilien (night bus) services, not forgetting
the 3 environmentally-friendly and quiet tram services. There are also
plans for a public transport bypass in 2020 to improve access between the
peripheral areas.

AN EXCEPTIONAL RANGE OF HOTEL ACCOMMODATION
It would be difficult to rival the diversity and competitiveness of Paris’s range of hotel accommodation. Paris – Île-de-France accounts for 140,000 rooms of which 75,000 are situated in the city of
Paris. At the end of 2009, the PCB brought together 15 major hotel groups representing 450 hotels and
60,000 rooms to sign a charter for the hosting of major professional events thus committing to offer
specific and advantageous conditions for this type of event.
For the ESC Congress, over 15,000 rooms have already been allotted by ESC and its agent MCI.
RESTAURANTS
The global capital of gastronomy, Paris has more than 12,000 cafes and restaurants, ranging from the
traditional brasserie to the most exotic cuisine. Many restaurants also have meeting rooms, so business and pleasure (gastronomic pleasure) can be combined. On the menu: Michelin star restaurants
with top-class chefs, the new “fooding” stars who mix flavours from around the world with traditional
cuisine, and small local restaurants offering innovative menus.
Among its members, the PCB has 84 restaurants available for private hire that can welcome all types
of events, that are situated in different parts of the capital, that offer typically French, classic, bistro or
innovative cuisine, in magnificent or unusual venues, and which will be delighted to cook for the ESC
Congress 2011 attendees.

TRANSPORT CARRIERS AND ASSOCIATES
AÉROPORTS DE PARIS
With 14,000 flights a week, Paris’ air transport hub is the largest in mainland
Europe, serving more than 625 cities in 132 countries. In 2008, 87 million passengers arrived at one of Paris’ two international airports, Roissy – Charlesde-Gaulle (CDG) and Orly. In order to maintain its global competitive position
and improve its response to the demands of the market, the airport operator
Aéroports de Paris (ADP) is developing its infrastructures, continuously expanding the airports’ capacity and improving access. In 2008, for example, Aéroports de Paris opened the new terminal 2E, which
will be the terminus of the future Charles-de-Gaulle Express linking Roissy with the Gare de l’Est in a
20-minute service due to be in operation by 2013. We will do everything that we can to ensure that the
ESC Congress returns to take advantage of these new infrastructures from 2014.
ADP is a member of the PCB and plays a large part in the welcome arrangements put in place
and presented by Viparis for the ESC Congress 2011.
