Week In Paris: The thrift traveler should be aware of at least six railway bargai offered by the SNCF.
Bon Dimanche and Joyeux Week-End tripper tickets are joke-cheap to hundreds of places (and return) within the 100-kilometer (60-mile radius of Paris. These Good Sunday and Happy Week-End trips open also from twelve or more other cities of France.
Winter sports tickets are another week-end bargain in the same gi eral category as above.
Billets Touristiques (Tourist Tickets) offer 20 to 30 per cent reductions on long circular tours, provided a stopover of at least 6 is made in at least one resort.
An inspiring example, though hardly typical, of what can be accomplished by a roving cameraman is supplied by Earl Leaf, the versatile magazine photographer. During just one week in Paris when the weather was just right for pictures, Leaf covered the landmarks of the city with two Rolleiflexes, one loaded with black-and-white film and the other with color, and to date he has netted roughly five thousand dollars for that week's shooting, and the pictures are still selling.
In rural communities a "Farmer of the Week" series is a solid promotion that builds a lot of good will because farmers generally feel that they are a neglected group and will appreciate the recognition all the more as a result. There are many other variations: Young Person of the Week, Churchman of the Week, and so on. The idea is to provide the incentive that is necessary to get people who need pictures in front of your camera. |
