We also need to reassure the security and tell them that Paris is a beautiful city, and they should enjoy. “Lola will be based in Roissy – Charles de Gaulle. She speaks English, German, Korean and a little Chinese.

 

“The reception is a sector of excellence,” said during the training day of the young, a representative of the Paris airports. “With your purple safety vest, you will color our airports,” she was glad. “On arrival at Versailles, you will guide visitors to the castle. Can you help them to return to Paris, “Said an official practice of Versailles?
