Young Talents in Tourisme

An unique initiative in France !

TELL PEOPLE ABOUT IT AND SHARE!

The goal of the Young Talents in Tourism initiative is to highlight creative tourism professionals who demonstrate remarkable know-how that they’re eager to share!

Since 2013, this determination to highlight the innovative steps taken by tourism service providers led the Marne Tourism Development Agency and Remi Castillo (Dites-nous tous production) to hold a contest to reward them, organised in partnership with the Épernay Tourism Office.

ORIGINAL AND AUTHENTIC ACTIVITIES ARE WAITING FOR YOU!

They all have young entrepreneurs at their heads, men and women driven by their passion and their enthusiasm, and who over the last few years have risen to the challenge of establishing their businesses.

The tourism services that they offer showcase all of their expertise, and their desire to highlight the department’s terroir and riches. 

Original accommodation, restaurants focusing on local cuisine, introductions to tasting, quirky activities... A whole range of services to explore the Marne in a new way!
