We are here to help you!

The Qualité Tourisme™ label is the result of the quality project carried out by the Tourist Information Centre in accordance with obligatory national commitments. The label is awarded by the Offices de Tourisme de France for a period of three years. The label covers all the Tourist Information Centre's activities: greeting visitors,  relations with authorities and professionals, promotion and sales of tourist services, event organisation and promotion, management, the shop.

The Tourist Information Centre has successfully met 200 quality standards.

The Qualité Tourisme™ label, registered by the French Ministry for Tourism, guarantees quality for tourists. The label unites all the quality processes undertaken by the tourist sector.

The label aims to improve the communication of information about tourist services and attractions. The many benefits include:

  • enhanced service to visitors;
  • recognition of the quality and professionalism of the Tourist Information Centre's activities;
  • promotion of La Roche-Posay as an attractive destination;
  • the implication of other service providers, encouraging them to participate in such a process.

Greeting all members of the public

The Tourist and Spa Information Centre provides suitable access to all tourists with special needs associated with motor, mental, visual and hearing handicaps.

The label is a sign of a solid commitment to the effective reception of disabled tourists. It promotes the development of tourist services accessible to all members of the public, providing disabled tourists with optimal autonomy in establishments bearing the label.

As part of a project which lasted over a year, the whole reception team received comprehensive training about the needs of disabled tourists. The team is very proud to have received the label, and hence to be able to promote the improvement of the reception of all members of the public.
