A propos de CountryFr.com

Depuis 1994, l’agence de presse Call Ways créée par Pierre R. Muzas, entretient la promotion de la culture américaine. Bien avant le déploiement publique de l’Internet, en France, d’abord par le système Minitel (3615 COUNTRY), puis iMinitel rapide et photo (3623 COUNTRY) . Les bases de données des Petits Coins d’Amérique en France qui étaient exposées sur Minitel furent pillées et l’on retrouve encore nos contenus ici et là sur la toile. Puis progressivement, l’incontournable web et ses ouvertures internationales par un premier domaine déposé aux États Unis, le 19 septembre 1997 : CountryFr.com.
