The Mayor of Dallas is going on a week-long trip to France. Mayor Eric Johnson says the goal is to strengthen business and tourism ties.
"It is clear that both Dallas and France have much to gain by bolstering our relationship in the years ahead, and I am excited to continue to build on connections that date back centuries," Mayor Johnson said.
His trip will include stops in Paris and Dijon. Dijon is one of Dallas' "sister cities", and Dallas has had a relationship with Dijon for more than 60 years.
According to the Dallas Regional Chamber, trade between the DFW region and France totaled more than $1.75 billion in 2021.
