The World has 244 countries divided into 9 Telecom Zones.
Our telecom activites started in 1671 with Louis Pajot & Leon Rouille inventing in our house
the Royal French postal services for King Louis XIV.
The third Bourbon King had already spend part of his chidhood in our old Villeroy Bourbon mansion (VB.com)
first and since 1370 owned by the Villeroy family.
Horses were carrying letters from our house located in the heart of Paris at 11 rue des Dechargeurs
to thousands of Pajot & Rouille or Thurn & Taxis post relais.
You see our old postal gate in the above pictures.
Spirit of Telecommunication stayed in our walls and in the memory of the Thurn & Taxis family.
Thanks to one of them, 1986, we open a small Sony Phone Boutique 50 m up the road, Cremerie de Paris No2
leading in 1993 to a long distance Telecom office and the very first internet cafe in France
both operating from Cremerie de Paris No1 at VB, the old Postal Mansion.
Many American Tech pioneers came by while travelling through Paris where public internet access was hard to find.
Under their influence was invented the Phone Book of the World
and VB.com (Very Beautiful / Villeroy Bourbon), one of the 676 two letter .com.
A
jewel left by the fashion designer Coco Chanel,
Aimee de Heeren a WW2 Secret Service agent and kind of a James Bond girl
and a man from the first flight to the Moon helped.
Today the magic of the past turned the former Royal Post Center / Cybercafe turn into a
Meeting place for the Worlds most famous Brands.
Again we have the chance to run into many pioneers,
they don't come to send letters
or to
get internet access,
but to show their latest products and inventions ...
Discover their Pop Up Stores while surfing through our Phone Book ot the World.
Our VB mansion is exactly the same,
even the water fountain for the post horses is still in place ...
Times have changed
but spirit of Telecomunications is full alive ...
