It was well arranged and baggage transfer was always in good timing. Except we were miss informed on 2nd nt accommodation but was referred to go to another accommodation. All other up graded hotel were very nice boutique style. The best was Domaine des Olivier and their restaurant was rather good standard.
The Mont Blanc Circuit is a challenging adventure. I had no experience camping or doing extended hiking before my trip! The exodus crew and fellow hikers made this a once in a lifetime experience - not just a holiday. I am looking forward to doing more travel like this!
Highlights of Provence Sept 2015 Hotel des Alpes was very welcoming, clean, modern and with excellent facilities. Breakfast buffet was excellent, a huge choice. The two group meals taken at the hotel restaurant were very enjoyable and the staff very friendly (these were a set meal but the staff were able to cater for those who had different requirements). The pool and terrace area were set out very comfortably. The staff were helpful and friendly.The group walks were varied and offered beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and mountains. We were given enough time to explore small villages we passed through on our walks and use local facilities for lunch (market day at Forcalquier).
