Take a walk with a Greeter. “Greeters” are people who love their hometown and wish to help others discover it according to their tastes and points of view. This free service is based on volunteer work. The “Greeters” each have their own original vision of the city and a strong desire to share it. The theme of the tour —shopping, markets, neighbourhoods, gastronomy...— is less important than the human contact and dialogue, which are the essential aim of such meetings (duration of the tour: approx. 2 hours). To take advantage of this offer, visitors can make a reservation 7 days beforehand for a discovery tour with a “Greeter” selected according to availability, language and chosen theme (online reservations only).
