Safety is also very important to them. We therefore have a space at the Maison de la Citoyenneté where they can have contact with their embassy. So that they can move around easily, they will have a primer for translating menus, transport, common words to communicate because they speak little English”.
Since May, nearly 300 hoteliers, restaurateurs and tourist guides have been trained in the requirements of this clientele.

A catalog of experiences such as a workshop on pastel, a concert by the Orchester national du Capitole or a training session with the Union rugby club is offered to them to discover the specificities of the city.
