Charter

Ethic étapes are in town, fields, montains, at the seaside… In the heart of the big cities or in little villages. So different and yet so alike. Because they share a state of mind.

the art of welcoming is a culture

The art of welcoming is a craft. For us, it’s also a culture. What makes an ethic étapes is, of course, the skill of a true specialist in welcoming groups. But it’s also in the smile. We’re not just willing to have you to stay, we’re happy to do it. And that changes everything. You’ll see.

everyone can teach us something

Every meeting is a privilege. For us, for those you’ll bump into while staying with us. Young Germans on a language course, three classes on an educational outing, the bike touring club from the low Languedoc are passing through and three Scottish girls, determined to convince you of the enchanting allure of the bagpipes…

group spirit… what for ?

All ethic étapes are not-for-profit organisations. Which means that making money is not our ultimate goal. Or that the money you spend will be used to give you an ever better welcome next time. In short, it doesn’t change the taste of the orange juice… but it allows you to appreciate it better.

world citizens

More than 100.000 foreigners pass through our doors every year, which means 100.00 chances to meet. A few hours or a few days to be enriched by our differences. And to realise that, deep down, all the citizens of the world are alike.

game, set and match

It’s crazy how much can happen in one evening around a ping-pong table. Or during a surprise party, a crepe evening, a photo exhibition… Meetings, emotions, laughter: the evenings are a lot like the days. There’s even a TV room. But who wants to watch TV ?
