The MICHELIN Company

Michelin's famous travel guides are a product of the Michelin Group's long-time commitment to enhancing mobility, not only by making the world’s best tyres, but also by providing information that will add to the overall experience of traveling. This commitment started back in 1900, when the first MICHELIN Guide-the brain child of the Michelin brothers-was published and given “on a complimentary basis” to motorists and cyclists, who greatly outnumbered the 2,800 registered cars in France at the time.
