Last summer the Île-de-France Regional Tourism Committee threw the "1 free guided tours" operation in order to support the tour guides hard hit by the health crisis.
For the occasion, the Grand Roissy Tourist Office offered 16 tours spread over the towns of Goussainville and Écouen.
The Grand Roissy Tourist Office in collaboration with the CRT is renewing the operation for the All Saints and Christmas holidays!
