The group aims to become France’s leading provider of travel deals.
Berlin - January 12, 2022. HolidayPirates Group, the travel deals platform operating in 10 countries, has announced the recent appointment of Stéphane Renard as head of the French market, where the group operates under the name VoyagesPirates (www.voyagespirates.fr). This appointment also marks an important step in the development of the travel deals platform as the first time the group has appointed a manager for France.
With many years of experience in the travel industry, first, in publishing with Hachette Tourisme and the Guide du Routard, then in digital with Travelzoo, where he was most recently publishing director, Stéphane Renard took over the lead of the French portal VoyagesPirates (www.voyagespirates.fr) on 10 January 2022.
In line with the remote working policy of the Berlin-based group, he will be responsible for leading the editorial and digital strategy of the site in France and supervising all market teams from Paris.

VoyagesPirates is one of our leading portals in Europe and we are confident that Stéphane’s extensive experience and network will enable us to continue to expand and position ourselves as the leading travel deals specialist in the French market.”
Stéphane Renard stated “I will bring all my experience and passion to the development of the French market of VoyagePirates. More than ever we need to move, to change our ideas and travel remains a "vital" need for us all, here or elsewhere. VoyagePirates is clearly on the side of the consumer and we will work hard with the team to find the best deals on the market every day. I am very proud to take on this new responsibility and I would like to thank David Armstrong for his confidence.”
