Tourism – Ariane and travel advisory

During this vacation period when many French people travel abroad, the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs reminds our compatriots of two tools that are especially helpful for preparing and enjoying smooth stays abroad: the travel advisory and the Ariane service.

Available at www.diplomatie.gouv.fr and via smartphones, the travel advisory contains information and recommendations on safety, health, and the practical aspects of travel abroad. Developed by the Ministry's crisis and support center, this advisory has received ISO 9001 certification, which attests to its quality, reliability, and regular updates. This certification was renewed at the end of June for the next three months, following an audit by the independent body AFNOR.

Ariane is a free service that allows our compatriots to register their trip with the Ministry and to receive reliable information in their destination countries during their stay, whatever the country. Designed in concert with the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés, Ariane fully guarantees the security and confidentiality of personal data.

France welcomes the unanimous decision to add two new sites—Taputapuātea and Strasbourg, Grande-Île et Neustadt—to the World Heritage list during the 41^st session of the World Heritage Committee held in Krakow from July 2 to 12.

It illustrates the expansion of Polynesian peoples throughout the Pacific, their organization, and their spiritual and cosmological relationship with nature and space.

An addition to a site listed in1988, Strasbourg, Grande-Île et Neustadt is an urban complex typical of the Rhineland, centered around the Cathedral in a region that symbolizes French-German reconciliation.

These two new additions bring to 43 the number of French inscriptions on UNESCO's World Heritage list.
