“Vaut le détour”, a discreet and promising invitation… In France, a lot of little lovely towns, renowned or unrecognized, which remote of motorways or great lines, invite the tourist to come. Whatever the season, it is always certain to find accommodation and a welcome of quality, a developed and attractive heritage, an identity, a gastronomic tradition, a diversified craft, without forgetting the atmosphere of a market or a local feast…
Heiresses of an authentic art of living that they maintain faithfully, this human-sized cities (of 2000 to 20000 inhabitants) join together to promote a sort of tourism answering as well people passing through as those staying for a short stay tourism.
The association “Les Plus Beaux Détours de France” formed at the end of the year 1998, rallied 88 towns, shared out through all the regions and presented in detail in a guide. They are indicated by an original and expressive logo: the motorway link withdrawing from the major roads and transforming into a stem of flower in full bloom, in rosette and in fireworks…. it is worth the “detour”!
