Overview
I will take you for an exciting tailor-made private tour through a few of the most beautiful villages in France. I will provide you with information on the history, culture and gastronomy of the region. I will be flexible concerning the programme and will do my best to meet your expectations!
The places I chose to mention here are beautiful villages in amazing landscapes and really worth the journey. The Ochre Trail in Roussillon is a short and easy hiking trail through a former ochre quarry and the surrounding woods.The sudden explosion of brilliant colour in the landscape – set off by green forests of pines and oaks – comes as a dramatic surprise as you walk through this area.
And it is a great experience to discover the photogenic villages of Lourmarin and Lacoste and end the day with a beautiful panoramic view of Gordes and its honey-coloured stones.
