Who hasn’t dreamed of opening a little café or a bookstore for only out-of-print art books or a fabric shop that sells just those yellow and blue Provençal tablecloths and Eiffel Tower prints in some corner of the Quartier Latin or along the Champs Élysées?

Well, what better time than now to make that dream a reality, at least online. There are a whole bunch of premium domains for generic terms in .paris like café.paris, brunch.paris or antiquites.paris that, starting 10 March will become available at the registrar of your choice.

These, like your dreams, are pure gold, and being premium domains can come at a steep price—between €475.00 and €4,210.00 before tax—but they are truly precious. So pre-register them now.

Remember that you do need to have some connection to the city of Paris, be that residence within Paris, a commercial interest there or a cultural or familial connection.

What's your .paris dream?

.paris



The .paris TLD will first be released in Sunrise to five groups, by order of priority (9 September to 11 November):

  • Priority 1: Classic TMCH Sunrise
  • Priority 2: Public institutions in the Île-de-France region
  • Priority 3: Trademarks and geographic names
  • Priority 4: Companies and associations
  • Priority 5: Landrush

In other words, .paris domains are available to any interested party, but priority is given to physical and moral persons with a good-faith presence in or connection to the Parisian region at the moment (and for the whole duration) of registration.

During this phase, .paris domains will be available at the rate of $336.39.

.paris is scheduled to enter the General Availability phase on 2 December 2014 at the price of $52.00.
