With the many bridges this year, and the appearance of the sun, vacationers are back in Périgord. The gîtes in Dordogne are almost full for this Ascension week, according to the director of Gîtes de France in Dordogne. She was the guest of France Bleu Périgord this Thursday.
Ascension weekend is coming very positive for tourism professionals in the Dordogne. “We have more than 90% of our accommodations occupied, so we are expecting vacationers in droves this week,” said this Thursday on France Bleu Périgord Laure Jamain, director of Gîtes de France in Dordogne. If the bad weather of recent weeks may have put off some tourists, particularly when booking accommodation with a swimming pool, tourists are indeed back in Périgord, she says.
Local customers
“As much as the Easter and April holidays were average, that’s it, the vacationers are here”, says Laure Jamain. Reservations have been largely anticipated this year, and the return of the sun in recent days has also attracted last-minute vacationers, so much so that theThe lodges were unable to respond to all requests. These are mainly local holidaymakers who have planned to come to Périgord, Nouvelle-Aquitaine or Occitanie, who can travel over three or four nights.
Laure Jamain also explains that summer looks very goodgiven the number of reservations recorded: Gîtes de France recorded a reservation rate of 80% from July 20 to August 17, and even almost 100% for the first half of August.
