Other information

Expansion potential:

Investment of EEC funds will bring more tourists, especially those interested in outdoor leisure pursuits. Walking, cycling, canoeing, etc are areas ripe for specialized services. Themed holidays related to gourmet food and wines are well worth exploring. The property's lay-out permits alternative arrangement of accommodation eg partially private residence, partially appartments or large gîte.

Competition / Market:

The local area has a small number of B&B providers but the demand is steady and in high season late bookings often cannot be accommodated. There are very few hotels. Investment & growth in tourist demand guarantees expansion potential.
