Discover the territory differently with the Greeters
What is a Greeter?
Greeters are inhabitants of the territory who wish to share their attachment to their place of life and their passions. They offer free personalized walks through which exchange and conviviality are the key words. Their credo? Reveal their good addresses, their favorite places and immerse yourself in local life. Following in the footsteps of a Greeter is an unusual and unique moment. We rediscover well-known places from another angle, sometimes unexpected. A walk often gives rise to an enriching human encounter.
How it works ?
Of all ages and from all walks of life, greeters are not professional guides. They welcome up to 6 people maximum and undertake to respect a charter defined in collaboration with the Destination Royan Atlantique Tourist Office.
Does the experience tempt you?
