    Our vision: to reveal the region's heroes

    Our promise, “Awaken your inner hero”, is not a slogan. It’s a way of working.
    We believe in everyday heroes: those who cultivate, welcome, guide, nurture, invent and share.
    We want to shine a spotlight on them, encourage their initiatives, and inspire those who visit us to surpass themselves, to marvel and dare to be adventurous.

    And then there’s you: our next visitors! By coming here, you too become a hero in search of adventure – our heroes!

    Our beliefs

    • Authenticityabove all. We don’t overplay anything: we reveal what already exists.
    • Cooperation. Nothing is built alone. The area moves forward thanks to everyone’s commitment.
    • Creativity. Breaking codes, offering unusual formats, surprising… Surprising you at every moment.
    • Responsibility. Protecting the environment, enhancing our heritage and supporting the local economy are non-negotiable.
    • Accessibility. An adventure must be open to everyone, whatever their means, age or desires.

    Our team

    We are :

    • holiday advisors who like to find the right idea at the right time,
    • sector developers who build the projects of tomorrow,
    • communicators who promote local nuggets,
    • sales people who make discovering the region easier for both individual visitors and groups.

    Whether we’re permanent or seasonal employees, we all share a common desire: to raise the profile of the region. Each profile has its own speciality, but everyone shares the same mindset: to work seriously, without taking ourselves too seriously!
