Plus, a few weeks ago I was invited to a presentation and meet and greet from the folks at Provence, Alpes and Côte d’Azur Tourism Office. And it was there I got the chance to speak with the CEO of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Tourism (https://provence-alpes-cotedazur.com/) located in the South of France. So we have that conversation for you. Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/randyu)
