  France écotours is a mix of French and Francophile travel experts working towards a common goal: Presenting France in an authentic way, facilitating encounters between visitors and locals and promoting cultural exchange. France écotours offers themed trips and reality tours which subscribe to the principles of responsible and sustainable tourism. Our aim is to allow visitors to discover the many facets of the country by taking them off the beaten path and getting them in touch with its nature and residents, while ensuring that their visits do not have a negative effect on its natural environment and people. As such, our trips are built upon low-carbon mobility such as hiking, bike tours, train and bus rides as well as family-owned accommodations, traditional and often organic foods and local tour guides. In addition to our guided and self-guided tours, we offer customised corporate trips such as incentive, client or anniversary getaways. These trips are customised according to each company's individual wishes - ranging from themed city tours to team building events in nature reserves involving social or ecological activities. A detailed carbon emissions calculation allows you to assess your trip's contribution to your company's carbon footprint and help you achieve your environmental goals. As a responsible tour operator, we are a member of the German Association for Sustainable Tourism "forum anders reisen" and we have been awarded the "CRS for tourism" certificate by the German certification office "TourCert" ( member of the Global Sustainability Tourism Council). In July 2018, TourCert once again took a close look at our sustainability measures. We passed, and are allowed to carry the TourCert seal "Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) - Travel for tomorrow" for another three years (until 2021). We are delighted! Our multi-national and multi-lingual team operates in English, French, German, Italian.
