A great weekend in town : a how-to guide

Set off to explore France by choosing the “Passion City – A great weekend in the city” option. The hotels taking part in the operation invite you to have two nights for the price of one, with an arrival on the Friday or on the Saturday.

So as to take advantage of this exceptional offer, all you need to do is: contact the hotel directly in order to book your room; do not forget to mention the operation “A great weekend in the city” and to then confirm your reservation in writing (mail, fax).
You can contact the Tourist Office for more information. The reservation can be made until midnight before your departure subject to availability. The operation concerns individuals and the two nights must be consecutive.
Upon your arrival, a tourist brochure will be given to you as well as a letter stamped by the hotel. Then, please go the Tourist Office with this letter in order to get your welcoming gift and your Pass Découverte (Discovery Pass).

If all the hotels are full, the hotelier may not be able to honour your request.
