Please?

I am looking on this hotel's website- and this was in the details. Does it mean actual swinging goes on in this hotel or is it a euphemism for something else.

Am not sure i want to book it if it's going to be ahem 'noisy'!! Grin

Notre hôtel B&B Arras réserve aux swingueurs et à tous les autres des chambres climatisées et tout confort : matelas de qualité, oreillers conçus par un spécialiste français, salle de bain privative. Grâce à la connexion Wifi gratuite et illimitée, vous pourrez partager sans attendre vos découvertes avec vos proches avant de reprendre des forces devant un film sur l’écran plat. Après l’effort, le réconfort.

It's the first part which I am errmmm slightly confused by???

TIA

I think it possibility refers to golfers?

On the mobile site the info is in English.

Cap D'Aigue (sp?)

Ha! Does it mean party animals?

My dh is bilingual, half irish, half French, I will ask him to translate but you will have to wait until tomorrow as he is asleep. Sorry op! I will do my best to sort out a solution asap xxxx

Swingueurs are people who like swing music, according to definition on online dictionary! Party animals is a food suggestion.

butterfliesinmytummy · 15/06/2014 01:44

Swingueur is someone who dances to swing music. The verb swinguer is to dance to swing music or to swing a golf club or to hook in boxing.

Swinging can be translated into French as "echangisme" (should be an acute accent on the first e but am on an ipad), when it refers to swapping partners. Don't worry, trip advisor reckons the hotel is ok!

Am sure it refers to golfers

Yep think it is more likely to be golf, as it is beside a golf course and mentions golfers specifically on the website. I was so intrigued I searched for it!
