We were delighted to invite a crew from a popular French travel TV show, ‘Échappées Belles’ (meaning ‘Beautiful Escapes’), to come and film at various locations in Ireland, including Kerry, Mayo, Galway, Kilkenny, Offaly, Cork and Wicklow. Production was supported by Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland. Around 2 million people in France are expected to watch the special Ireland episode, which will air later this year on public TV network France 5 – inspiring them to visit by shining a spotlight on our landscapes and experiences, as well as the characters which make Ireland such a great place to visit. Publicity and broadcasts like this are a key element of our programme of promotional activity, to encourage travellers in France, and elsewhere around the world, to put the island of Ireland on their holiday wish-list. Pictured are the crew during filming in Glendalough, Wicklow.
