Paris, November 6, 2006 - JCDecaux SA (Euronext Paris: DEC), the number one outdoor advertising company in Europe and Asia-Pacific, and the number two worldwide, has been awarded a 15-year contract covering the bus and tramway shelters of the Communauté d’Agglomération Nice Côte d’Azur (CANCA) following a competitive public tender. The contract covers an urban community of 24 municipalities, including Nice and the French Riviera, and reaches a total of 500,000 inhabitants.

• The contract, which was renewed and extended, covers a total of 500 advertising bus shelters and 166 advertising tramway shelters (confirmed and optional shelters included).
