xONE4 from Nice
I try to read all that posts in this forum, as it is manageable in size compared to the AA forum. And I can't say that I have seen an answer to this particular question.
I'd like to start a fairly simple xONE4 from Nice. AA tells me that I'd have to ticket this at CDG airport, which wasn't on my route plans. Does anyone have any alternative suggestions? Perhaps a travel agent in Nice or Monaco that might have done RTW tickets before?
At a pinch I could use BA, but I'd rather not since I log all my miles to AA, they have far friendlier RTW desk staff and BA have those dreaded fuel surcharges.

E-mail or telephone for AA in France?
Further to my original post, has anyone ticketed any RTW ticket ex France recently?
AA RTW desk not only seem to have priced my itinerary wrong (quoting me what must be a Nth America price, even as they confirm to me I am starting and ticketing in France), but they say there is no telephone or e-mail contact for their only location in France at CDG airport - I have to be there in person before the ticketing deadline.
Can anyone help with an E-mail or telephone for AA in France?

If at first you don't succeed...
I had called that listed AA contact number yesterday, and struck a very unhelpful woman who said that RTW tickets could not be purchased over the phone and I'd have to come to the Paris CDG ticket counter in person.
Today's call was completely different - polite, helpful and after some 10 minutes or so, e-ticket issued off credit card details supplied over the phone.
For now it's a simple LONE3, NCE-LHR-NRT-DFW-TPA-MIA-CDG, with the LHR-NRT in T on BA. But I plan to reissue to get some North American flights and also some extra European sectors. At 2475 all in, it's pretty good value.
