For Jaume Tàpies, International President of Relais & Châteaux, “Taking our permanent quest for excellence even higher and further, required the recruitment of a business services professional with experience in executive management and international affairs. Jean-François Ferret was the obvious choice. I am happy to have him as a member of our team to help us highlight Art de Vivre by Relais & Châteaux throughout the world.”

Comments Director of Relais & Châteaux, Annie-Claude Bergonzoli: “By creating these new Routes du Bonheur and combining our 2012 guide, with Brazilian author Paulo Coelho as the Ambassador this year, and the new cook book we hope that these tools will provide valuable resources for guests to enjoy the many unique experiences available at all our member properties. For 2012 our focus is to highlight and promote our region to local travellers, especially families, as well as showcasing the many international possibilities with our member properties.”
