I apologise in advance to those
readers who do not live in the Deux Sevres department, but for those who do I
have to share this fantastic scheme from the tourist office. If you live
elsewhere in France I would check with your local tourist office as a similar
scheme may be offered in your department.
If you are over 18 and resident
in Deux Sevres you can apply for a FREE card that offers you a variety of
discounts when you are out and about sightseeing and discovering the
department. Being a member of the club will give you promotional offers
throughout the year and also invitations to VIP club events.
A full list of special offers can
be found here, but they include a 50% reduction on the entry to some museums
(when accompanied by a person paying the full adult tariff), a 25% reduction on
a number of leisure facilities including boat hire in the Marais Poitevin, a
10% discount in the tourist office boutiques and aperitifs will be offered in many
restaurants when you have a meal. I was advised to regularly check the current
offers online as they are being added to all the time.
You can apply online here or in
person at an office de tourism. I
struggled with the online application but it took less than five minutes to complete in the office de tourism in Melle. Representatives have also been
visiting local markets to promote the scheme and complete the application forms and you can find them on Facebook.
Here’s to a summer of discovering
more of the delights of Deux Sevres.
