To understand where we came from the idea of ​​the name Pinsons des Rives, you must first know that we are a late thirties that does not come directly from the hotel and restaurant industry, far from that ! We have both worked in recent years in environment, the Dudette for the government and the Dude in forest ecology research. We have traveled in a few countries, together and in our previous lives. Lastly, we went five months and it was during this trip that we decided that we wanted to have our own hostel, to be able to welcome people coming from everywhere. We had made a blog for our friends and the family called Les Pinsons Voyageurs to share a little of all the wonders that we saw, that we lived. You can always take a look if you need some inspirations for your next trip... So here, the flying finches landed at the shore house, and that gave Les Pinsons des Rives!
