The history of our Greeters from Touraine

 

Discover the surroundings of Sainte-Maure de Touraine and Chinon with a Greeter, share his story through a walk.

Since 2014 in Chinon and then in 2015 in Sainte-Maure de Touraine, the team of Greeters today is composed of 20 unique personalities to offer you a special moment.

What is the principle?

Le Greeter, “host in English” is a local resident who is passionate about his territory, his town, his village and welcomes the visitor during a friendly, authentic and informative walk.  He takes you around his favourite places, offers you his “good deals” and addresses … All in a completely volunteer-based approach! These walks of about 2 hours are free.

Who are they?
