Finland in search of French people in search of happiness

To unlock the secrets of the happiest people in the world, nothing better than staying with them.

As part of its “Find the Finn in you” operation, the Finnish tourist office (Visit Finland) is inviting ten people from all over the world to take part in a Finnish-style initiation to happiness seminar.

It will be held from June 12 to 15, 2023, at a time when the midnight sun never sets in the Nordic countries.

The stay will take place at the Kuru Resort, in the Great Lakes region, in the south-east of the country.

This adults-only resort is made up of 20 luxury chalets surrounded by the tranquility of pine forests.

The lucky ones will stay there for free, while a night for two people with breakfast is normally offered from €269.

All travel expenses as well as transport costs to and from Finland will also be covered by the tourist office.
