And no, tourist office doesn’t necessarily rhyme with tourists… We also receive requests from locals! More than half of our visitors come from the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region and among them, around 80% are residents of Pays Horloger.
Then there are the inhabitants of the Grand-Est region, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Île-de-France. On the foreign side, it is the Swiss, Germans, Belgians and the Dutch who come to stay in Pays Horloger.
Of course their requests vary, but the most common are:
A Maiche, Morteau or, Saint-Hippolyte !
This is an opportunity for visitors to chat with us face-to-face, share our tips and provide them with all the documents that will be useful for their stay!
To best advise our visitors, we have a wall-mounted tourist map of the Pays Horloger : a very popular tool for both travel advisors and the public! Our publications are also very popular, such as our seasonal guide, local products guide or even our flyers for the Echelles de la Mort and the Saut du Doubs. Not forgetting the'calendar of events', printed monthly and weekly during the summer.
