Auberge Internationale Le Tangon

Auberge Internationale Le Tangon

Whether it be for one night, one week or even more, you can be sure of a relaxation time at the warmly decorated and colourful "Le Tangon". Brigitte and her team are always on hand to welcome you with a smile. You will immediately feel at home and will be taken aback by the family-oriented atmosphere of the Hostel and the kindness of the people who live there. Impromptu musical performances in the evening add to the enchanting atmosphere of "Le Tangon". Almost unique on the North Shore, it is a place where people come together, share experiences and become friends.

Few places offer as much natural beauty with all the advantages of a modern city as the North Shore. Beaches, a unique archipelago, majestic rivers, an animal reserve and varied marine life invite travelers to escape and relax. The North Coast offers visitors quaint villages, historical sites, Nordic adventures and out-of-the-ordinary open-air expeditions.

The hostel offers you everything you need to make your stay both comfortable and enjoyable.
