Do your guests want to get out? The outing starts right at your door.

The only service that gives every guest a real outing from your stay — sporty, cultural, gourmet… Suited to today’s weather, told like a local, with the host lifting no finger at all.

For the independent stay that answers “what is there to do around here?” with a leaflet

You run an independent hotel in France, ten to forty rooms, no chain behind you. You welcome travelers, and you know what they will write about you next.

The question arrives at the front desk all day, and you have no time to sort the good addresses. So you hand over a leaflet. Detour hands over an outing that starts at the guest’s door.

Gîtes, B&Bs, Airbnb hosts and conciergeries: it is built for you too. One account, several lodgings if you manage several, and the same link in every welcome message.

Set up once, then one link does the rest

  1. Step 1

    Set up once

    A few minutes: your address, the themes to highlight and, if you like, your own favourite routes.

  2. Step 2

    Paste a link

    In the booking confirmation, the welcome message or your digital booklet. A QR code, if you like.

  3. Step 3

    The guest opens it

    A real traced outing starting at the door of their stay, adapted to the weather of the day.

A real outing, traced from their door

Every guest receives a route that starts at the door of their stay — not a list of addresses to look up on a map.

The path is traced: they follow it from the first step.

Adapted to today’s weather

The outing a guest opens is the one that suits the day they open it. The same address can suggest a different outing from one morning to the next.

Told like a local

The outing reads the way a neighbour would say it: simple words, which gate to take, where the path turns.

Your own favourite routes can slip in too, if you like.

Without the host lifting a finger

You set everything up once, in minutes. From then on, the front desk has a link to give — and no leaflet to hunt for.

From running to cycling, hiking to monuments

Not just walking: the sporty guest gets a real running or cycling route, with distance, duration and elevation, traced on real paths.

And on sightseeing days, the monuments and places worth seeing slot into the same route.

And for the organised guest

The guest who knows what they want chooses for themselves: their activity, their available time, their interest. Four taps, and a made-to-measure route starts at their door.

The casual guest simply opens the link and lets themselves be surprised: three outings ready, suited to the day.

Where the leaflet was, a link

A taste of what the guest opens

Three outings written for an imaginary hotel. These are examples: the places, the weather and the words are invented to show the shape of a route.

The lavender terraces

Drôme

Starts at the garden gate

Go out through the garden gate and keep the dry-stone wall on your right. The terraces begin where the path turns. Start early, before the light goes flat.

The old bridge and the green water

Ardèche

Starts at the front steps

Take the shaded path down to the river and cross the stone bridge. Stop on the pebbles on the far bank. The water is cold and very clear.

Ardèche

Starts at the front door

Skip the path today. Turn left as you come out and follow the lane to the vaulted cellar. The table by the window is the one to ask for.
