A Greeter in France is a volunteer host, an ambassador of the place they call home.

Greeters are local residents who are passionate about their city or region and wish to help visitors discover it in a friendly, unique, personal, welcoming, and enthusiastic way. They are not professional tour guides. Their aim is to share, freely and simply, a human experience built on the exchange of personal knowledge, emotions, and local anecdotes.

They are ambassadors of their local area, offering visitors the opportunity to experience its richness through a walk based on human connection in a small group, sharing knowledge and discovering the place according to the interests expressed by the visitors.

Greeters in France follow a shared framework that shapes their approach to welcoming and sharing with visitors.

• An intimate knowledge of their local area and the pride of showcasing its heritage, culture, and unique energy.
• Welcoming visitors in small groups, encouraging discovery and attentive listening, ensuring a simple and personalized exchange for mutual enrichment.
• Volunteering and selflessness, rewarded by smiles, sincere conversations about ways of life, and sometimes even the beginning of a friendship.
• Openness to other cultures. Respect for differences. Tolerance. Understanding. Exchanges with people from all over the world without discrimination.
• Responsible tourism, with small group welcomes and environmentally friendly travel methods (walking or cycling).
