April 2011: How do you make a lasting impression on a small group of important guests, coming to Paris for a short time? French DMC Alcep had the novel idea of organizing a  special rally for them around the city, using Vintage cars dating from 1907 to 1929. It was a wonderful day, made all the more memorable with the admiring glances they got from passers-by.

Planners of international corporate events are being asked to tighten their belts and do more by themselves. Alongside them, new services are being offered on the Internet that suggest removing the role of DMCs altogether. Is this wise practice or false economy? Philip Gombert, Managing Director of French DMC Alcep Travel & Events, suggests that rather than going 'DIY', using experienced DMC professionals will add unique and memorable value to your next corporate event in France.

Monaco will be buzzing with excitement from May 26^th to 29^th as it hosts the 'City Special' Formula One Grand Prix.

To enjoy this event to the full, Alcep Travel & Events offers you a unique holiday arrangement.

Being in Nice between 18^th February and 8^th March is an unforgettable experience.

Alcep is an expert French DMC handling large groups of 1000 participants and more.

France is a great place to be any time of the year, as 80+ million visitors prove every year.
