Why travel close to home?

What are the advantages of travelling closer to home?


"The true voyage of discovery does not consist in seeking out new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
- Marcel Proust
le voyage proche : les montagnes enneigées des Alpes au soleil couchant

Discovering landscapes from a new perspective

Even if you've lived in a place for a long time, there are often hidden gems to be discovered nearby. You can also gain a better understanding of the environment in which you live. With an experienced guide , you can learn more about the geography, fauna, flora and history of your region. Travelling locally gives you the chance to explore lesser-known places that might surprise you. France, for example, is full of wonders that we can help you discover...

Travelling close to home reduces the impact of transport

You can reduce your carbon footprint by cutting down on transport. At DiscoveRent , there are no planes on the horizon. We prefer to travel by train, and we put participants in touch with each other to organise car pooling. By limiting the distances you travel, you're helping to protect the environment. And not least, local travel can be less expensive than international travel, particularly in terms of transport costs.

Have a direct impact on local tourism

By travelling close to home, you spend your money on local businesses. The small corner shop, the artisan baker, the local guide... are all people you'll be making personally happy. At DiscoveRent, the accommodation is authentic, the local guides are experienced and the food on offer is as local and seasonal as possible!

Travelling closer to home means more time on the ground

Travelling closer to home generally involves less travel time, which means you spend more time enjoying your destination and less time in transport.
