Citroens, past and present, are synonymous with Paris, whether they are delivering baguettes in Citroën Berlingo vans or delivering French presidents to the Elysée Palace, the French capital without iconic Citroën's prowling its streets is unthinkable.

And for a limited time anyone who buys a petrol-engined Citroën C5 can find out for themselves why Citroën is so inexorably linked to Paris because the French car maker is providing new Citroën C5 owners with a pair of round trip tickets to Paris.

"Visiting Paris is an extraordinary experience, it is such a unique and vital city," says Miles Williams, General Manager for Citroën in Australia. "There is something in Paris for everyone, from the history, to the art treasures at the Musee du Louvre and the many other famous galleries, to the shopping for Haute Couture and countless bargains in the flea markets, or just the pleasure of wandering the streets of this fabulous city, with something surprising lurking around every corner. And a visit to Paris also explains in so many ways why the Citroën C5 is such a special car, with its technology, styling and features."

Included in the offer is the Citroën C5 2.0 litre in sedan and estate versions with manual gearboxes, from $42,990 for the sedan and $47,000 for the estate. The range topping luxury, performance and comfort of the Citroën C5 V6 is also included in the Paris ticket offer, with prices starting at a recommended retail price of $57,490.

The Citroën C5 Paris ticket offer could also be a ticket to the whole of Europe, with Citroën's Drive Europe programme offering Citroën lease cars from as little as $33 a day and including the whole Citroën range of cars and people movers.

The C5, See Paris offer is available on all Citroën C5 petrol engined versions purchased between 7 August and 30 September. Tickets are for two adult return flights to Paris from Sydney or Melbourne and must be used by 15 November 2005.
