Meet The Bourbonnais Bpcage Greeter®

In their free time, Greeters are volunteer locals who welcome tourists or locals (alone, in pairs or in groups of up to 6) as friends for an original, unusual and often very personal visit.

These encounters can be without a future or, on the contrary, the starting point of a lifelong friendship, hence our motto “Come as visitors, leave as friends”. The visit is based on a purely friendly exchange without any commercial purpose where human warmth takes precedence over the rest.

Anecdotes, dreamed places, favorites, forgotten places, typical corners perhaps unknown and far from tourist places... Cantal will no longer hold any secrets for those who will take the time to come and meet them.

Do you know about the Greeters® ? It is a global community of inhabitants who voluntarily welcome anyone wishing to discover a territory from the point of view of a local.
Meeting a Greeter is the promise of a memorable moment with a loving, passionate volunteer and ambassador of their city or region. Greeters enjoy welcoming visitors as they would welcoming friends or relatives. They offer their time to discover the places they love, tell their story, their neighborhood or village and share their way of experiencing their everyday life.

Do not be mistaken, Greeters are not professional guides ! The places you will cross are only a pretext to meet, and a way to better understand how the local inhabitants live. Come alone or in a group of up to six people for a walk or just enjoy a chat over a drink.

If you believe that travel can be a vector of peace and better understanding between people, meeting a Greeter is for you ! Our community share the idea that travelling should be an opportunity for a real exchange between populations and visitors and that this should not be exclusively an act of consumption. Do not look for a price, meeting a Greeter is 100% free (yes, for real !).
