L'avis des voyageurs
Dear Frédéric,
Please excuse us for our delayed response; we have had a busy schedule since our return...
However, we wanted to thank you for the wonderful holiday you organised for us! Everything was perfect: the route, the magnificent scenery, the accommodation and the warm welcome at each stage, the high-quality food and the very satisfying quantities.
We were delighted with the quality of the service, we had an unforgettable week and we will not hesitate to come back to you for our next holiday.
We have also told our friends and family about you :-)
Thank you for everything!
Véronique and Sandra
Good evening,
Still under the spell of the wild landscapes we discovered during this hike around Mont Lozère, we would like to express our delight at how these landscapes have soothed our souls, whether at a bend in the path, when approaching a flower, in the shade of a chestnut tree, when encountering granite or limestone, at the sight of slate roofs, when bathing in lush broom or hearing the cuckoo call.
What more can we say, except that the balance of our daily efforts never dampened our determination to finish this tour, even in the face of the winds, the rains and the inevitable ups and downs that spiced up our hike.
The stages were well-sized and the places we passed through were interesting.
The accommodation was generally satisfactory.
The meals and picnics were of good quality.
In the brochure: write one piece of luggage per person with a label bearing their name, mobile number and the name of the referring organisation.
Many thanks and perhaps we will meet again on a new path.
Kind regards,
Alain.
