🏢 About the local organisation
Created in 1937, the non-profit association "Les Gîtes d'Étape" aims to promote youth social tourism by paying particular attention to economically and culturally disadvantaged people and their development. Bringing together the two sectors, Gîtes d'Étape is recognized as a Youth Organization and Social Tourism Organization and promotes access to leisure and holidays for all, through a pedagogical and fun approach.
Les Gîtes d'Etape manage a network of more than 30 simple and quality accommodations located in different villages in Wallonia, the French speaking part of Belgium.
At the same time, they offer various types of activities (discovery classes, summer courses, annual events, weekends, theme breaks, etc…) with a support service for their organization.
