As we head back to school and back to work, the measures for telework are becoming more flexible. However, the pursuit of a more hybrid organisation in companies, between face-to-face and telework, will remain important. This is an opportunity for employees to continue to combine personal and professional balance in a harmonious way and to consider telework in a different way, away from home, from the place of their choice.
 
Indeed, 1/3 of the executives declared that they were considering teleworking from a place usually reserved for holidays and weekends according to the survey conducted by OpinionWay for Pierre & Vacances. To meet the aspirations of nomadic workers, Pierre & Vacances is expanding its “Telework Offer” this autumn.
BALANCING WORK AND LIFE

The health crisis has seen the emergence of new trends and profound changes. The most striking of these is undoubtedly the rapid development of teleworking, which has turned the business world upside down, forcing many companies to reinvent themselves and adopt a more hybrid organisation. 

For their part, employees, who have always envisaged holidays on a classic “summer/winter” model, are seduced by the flexibility offered by teleworking. Micro-holidays”, shorter but more frequent periods of travel, can then gradually become established as new holiday formats that reinvent the way we think about holidays.

 
“There is a new underlying trend, that of telework tourism, which is similar to an escape to nature, to get away from an urban and stressful way of life to go green: it is unsurprisingly an unlearning of urban life”, analyses the sociologist Ronan Chastelier.
 
TELEWORK WITH A VIEW

“Teleworking practices have been evolving and changing for over a year. We see that the return to work and the relaxation of the government’s back-to-work health regulations are signalling the perpetuation of teleworking, particularly among executives, but at very different rates. In July 2020, we launched our first telework offer. We are now in our 4th iteration with an offer designed for stays ranging from a 3-day weekend to 2 weeks and simpler with breakfast delivered and offered. These changes are always made taking into account the feedback and comments of our customers. Our ambition is to continue to enrich our offer to continuously adapt to the evolution of uses”, explains Grégory Sion, General Manager of Pierre & Vacances.
 

Pierre & Vacances has joined forces with the FamilEat brand to offer teleworkers breakfast** during their stay, delivered directly to their accommodation. A balanced and tasty breakfast, composed of local, seasonal and 100% natural products from French brands committed to solidarity.
Guests can also take advantage of a 10% discount on all meals delivered by FamilEat.
And to extend the holiday effect a little further and make the most of the Indian summer by combining work and pleasure. Pierre & Vacances has a special back-to-school offer:  
 
Pierre & Vacances offers one night free for all bookings made between 31/08/2021 and 07/09/2021 included, with the code BREAKS21PV* for stays from 3 consecutive nights until 12/11/2021 included.

HOULGATE
Résidence premium Résidence et Spa**** 

Perched on the heights of Houlgate, the Pierre & Vacances premium Residence and Spa is located in the heart of a real green setting on the Côte Fleurie.

 
This premium residence is a wellness destination par excellence, with a real cocoon dedicated to relaxation: the Deep Nature® Spa, which offers treatments and massages. Once the day’s work is done, head for the indoor or outdoor pool.

The flats and houses are bright, perfectly arranged and elegantly decorated and can accommodate up to 8 people. All in a beautiful half-timbered building inspired by traditional local architecture. Casino, bars and restaurants: the centre of Houlgate, allows you to enjoy a few outings in a typical Normandy setting.

ANTIBES
Residence premium Port-Prestige****

To relax under the Mediterranean sun, head for the Pierre & Vacances premium Port-Prestige residence, located opposite the marina and a few steps from the old town of Antibes.

 
Designed by Christian de Portzamparc, the residence subtly introduces nature with plant cascades and shaded terraces that cover the 5 small buildings, to immerse oneself in the typical essences of the Mediterranean. 

The air-conditioned flats all have balconies and some even have private whirlpools. 

 
The aquatic area offers a swimming pool, with counter-current swimming and a whirlpool. And to extend the wellness experience, guests can enjoy the wellness area.
 
LOCHES

Staying in the heart of a medieval town is what the Pierre & Vacances residence Le Moulin des Cordeliers in Loches offers.
