It’s well after 6pm in DC, which means it’s officially July 14th – Bastille Day – in France and we could not think of a better way for us to celebrate it announce a major coup.  Pierre Alzon, the founding père of internet travel in France has joined TripTuner as Partner and Managing Director for Europe, based in Paris’ vaunted “Silicon Sentier“.

You can find more about Pierre here but suffice it to say that we’re so happy we feel like we could conquer a fortress!  Please join us in welcoming him on board and feel free to leave a message for him in the comments here or on our Facebook page.

Vive la (TripTuner) France!

To continue with our Francophone frenzy we’re announcing the launch of our French site at www.TripTuner.fr.  Like our US site, it’s a beta but you’ll be seeing many new destinations suited to that market plus a long list of new features we’ll be rolling out over the next few months.

Finally, to round out our of Bastille Day bash we’re gonna give you an opportunity to brush up on your French with this article on Pierre and our recent launch in France.

Merci beaucoup for all the love and support you’ve shown for TripTuner.  We’ve come a long way in our first 7 months and are happy to have you with us as we grow. A bientôt and #staytuned!
