Norwegians plan holiday in Greece but land in France

TOULOUSE, France (Reuters) - Three Norwegian tourists who planned a holiday on Rhodes landed in the southwestern French town of Rodez on Monday after mistyping their destination on an Internet booking form, officials said.

The three, identified as Bente, Marit and Knut, appear to have been surprised when their Ryanair flight landed in Rodez, which boasts a medieval town centre with a 13th century cathedral but none of the Greek island's beach resorts.

"We were told of the mistake when the three tourists arrived at the airport and we tried to make their stay as agreeable as possible before they decided to return to Norway," Florence Taillefer, head of the Rodez tourism office told Reuters.
