Tourism Ireland hosts Lunch & Learn events in Lyon, Rennes and Nantes

Nine tourism companies from Ireland are joining Tourism Ireland’s Lunch & Learn events in France this week. The events are taking place in the cities of Lyon, Rennes and Nantes.

The Lunch & Learn events – which include presentations about Ireland as well as networking opportunities – are a valuable opportunity for the tourism companies from Ireland to connect with French travel agents and tour operators, who bring valuable tourists to the island. The aim is to inspire the French travel professionals about all that Ireland has to offer and to win a greater share of their business for 2026 and beyond.

Ana Luis, Tourism Ireland’s Trade Partnership Manager France, said:

“We are delighted that so many key French travel agents and tour operators are taking the time to come and meet with our partners from Ireland in Lyon, Rennes and Nantes this week. Our roadshow is a valuable platform for our partners from Ireland to showcase and sell their products and services, to ensure they win a greater share of the travel agents and tour operators’ business for 2026 and beyond.”
