The Senior on vacation program

The ANCV’s Seniors on Vacation program allows seniors to benefit from reduced price stays throughout the year. In this, except the months of July and August. The National Agency for Holiday Vouchers created this system in 2007 to counter-attack precariousness and isolation of some older people.

Following the deadly heat wave of 2003, the government decided to cut short the loneliness of these vulnerable people. Many aids for seniors are available and access to holidays and leisure has become a priority.
