Presentation of our entity

The Coeur de France Valley Tourist Office is a association of the 1901 law type (non-profit) bringing together elected officials and tourism professionals.
It came into being on November 7, 2017, as a result of the merger between the territories of Montluçon Communauté, Val de Cher, and Pays de Tronçais.

The area of competence of this brand new structure corresponds to a population basin of approximately 80,000 inhabitants for a total of 43 communes.

His essential mission is to receive and inform visitors on the offer of leisure, catering, accommodation and more broadly on all subjects facilitating the stay of newcomers. This reception is always carried out in the form of a “sales force advice” in order to stimulate the consumption of the offer present on our sector.

The other missions of the OTSI are: animation, promotion, technical support for the implementation of tourism development policies, management of tourist equipment and services.
These actions are carried out by a team of 12 employees.

The missions are carried out within the framework of a delegation of public service, in return for which, the various Public Establishments of Communal Cooperation (EPCI) provide more than 90% funding for the Tourist Office.

The Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of the Heart of France Valley Tourist Office is composed, on the one hand, of elected officials of the Montluçon Valley Country, and on the other hand, of socio-professionals representative of the activities offered on the territory of competence of the OTI, designated by the General Assembly.

The Board of Directors meets when convened by the President and exercises the broadest powers to ensure the operation of the Tourist Office.

Presentation of the tourist tax

The tourist tax is paid by any person of legal age who has spent a night in commercial accommodation in the following 3 intercommunities: Montluçon Communauté, Val de Cher and Pays de Tronçais.

Paid to the accommodation provider at the same time as the service, it appears explicitly on the invoice given to the customer.

The accommodation providers pay the sums thus collected to the PETR (Pôle d’Équilibre Territorial et Rural), which then transfers them to the Office de Tourisme de la Vallée du Cœur de France for its mission to support the local tourist economy.

Since November 2021, an online declaration and payment system has been introduced throughout the territory.
Using the activation link previously received by email, accommodation providers now have access to this new online service:Tourist tax – Pays de Montluçon

You will find on the link below the terms of operation of this platform, as well as the rates in force for the 2022 tourist tax: TTaxe de Séjour 2022 Pays de Montluçon – Fixed Rates and Taxe de Séjour 2022 Pays de Montluçon – Proportional Rates.
