Our guide on the Marais Food tour was Adele. Adele is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a very good story teller. She loved showing us around her favorite spots. One could feel how much Adele loves Paris she loves Paris and enjoys telling us about its history and present. The tour was small and Adele was able to make a personal connection with each one of us. It was very nice to meet people working in the local shops we visited. Everyone was nice and I cannot wish for a better introduction to Marais.
Tour De Mont Blanc - Camping Trek Just back from a fantastic trek of the Mont Blanc region (Late August - Early September). The mountain guide (Kim) took us on a trip of a lifetime, and kept us all amused along the way. Andres our camp manager made sure that we where always looked after, fed & watered and welcomed us back into camp each day with a smile and great food. You couldn't ask for more and I would highly recommend this trip.
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).
