50,000 visitors since the creation of Paris Greeters

The Paris Greeters association has surpassed the 50,000 visitors mark in June 2018.

Indeed, since its creation in 2007, the association’s volunteers have taken thousands of walks to present their neighbourhood, share their lifestyle, their passions, their favourites with visitors wishing to have a different tourist experience, to meet Parisians. These meetings are a real source of sharing and exchange, of mutual enrichment for volunteers and visitors.

A special day to celebrate this event

We had to celebrate this event. The volunteers of Paris Greeters therefore mobilized to offer 4 special days with a formula à la carte: choice of walks among all the Parisian districts and some neighbouring communes, daily departures in the morning and afternoon, in French, English, German, Spanish and Italian.
Paris Greeters volunteers played the game of sharing and exchange even more than usual, offering visitors from different backgrounds the opportunity to take part in the same walk. To the discovery of little known districts or communes, or that of known districts, seen through the eyes of a “local”, was added the pleasure of friendly encounters in a friendly atmosphere.

A commitment welcomed by the City of Paris

This initiative was supported by the Paris City Hall, which greeted:

” Volunteer engagement, because greeters offer visitors a fluid visitor experience tailored to their needs, and where residents are part of the tourism experience” “

Welcomed by the Town Hall of the 20th century, volunteers and visitors celebrated the event with an aperitif, ready to embark for the passage of the 100,000 visitors mark! Congratulations to the volunteers of Paris Greeters for their commitment to showcase the capital with such self-sacrifice and passion!
