To begin, could you introduce yourself in a few words?
Hello, my name is Christian. I am YourHostHelper agency manager in Clermont-Ferrand. Holder of a master's degree in international trade, I worked for 12 years for large agri-food groups in the retail sector. I was able to develop a strong ability to adapt, a culture of results and a real taste for challenge.
What motivated you to get involved in the management of vacation rentals?
Alongside my salaried activity, I trained and invested in several properties in Clermont-Ferrand. This allowed me to understand the expectations, constraints and requirements of owners and travelers. In addition, my region is attractive from a tourist and economic point of view. So I saw a real opportunity to start my business in the
rental management and concierge for seasonal rentals.

Indeed, I love strolling in the streets of the historic center of Clermont-Ferrand and also being able to go for a walk or run in the nearby mountains. Located in the center of France, the city is not lacking in assets and has great potential
