Who are the Storytellers?
The Storytellers are stay advisors who know everything about the territory. Through these visits and walks, they pass on their passion, draw your attention to details that you had probably not noticed... As a bonus, they deliver historical anecdotes and reveal secret, less touristy corners to keep in mind. . More than just visits, these are real experiences to be lived punctuated by beautiful encounters.
On foot, by bike or in costume, the Passeurs d'histoire take us to must-see places as well as off the beaten track. The themes are varied and suitable for the whole family: "nature", fun or gourmet visits complement the cultural visits of cities and villages classified as Mornac-sur-Seudre or Talmont-sur-Gironde. In particular, we take the time to observe the fauna and flora that surround us, to meet local producers and to discover all the authenticity of the territory.

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? To reveal their good addresses, their favorite places and to immerse ourselves 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. From a walk often comes an enriching human encounter.
How does it work?
Of all ages and from all walks of life, greeters are not professional guides. They accommodate up to 6 people maximum and undertake to respect a charter defined in collaboration with the Royan Atlantique Tourist Office.
Does the experience tempt you?
