We speak French, English and Dutch.You might wonder why you get French walking tours from a Dutch website. The reason is we're Dutch and half French. We work and live in France as well as in the Netherlands. The company has been founded in 1992 and is registered at the Chamber of Commerce in Utrecht Netherlands. Some of us live in Holland, some of us all year in France in Broquiès.
With our roots in a small village along the Tarn we came back from Northern Europe to live the countryside life of the South again. We want you to experience the quality of life this part of France has to offer: a beautiful environment, nice and relaxed people, culture and ancient history and according to a recent French survey, in l'Expresse, every year again, one of the best departments of France to live in especially for seniors.
La Ligne Verte B.V. is registered at the Chamber of Commerce of Utrecht, Netherlands Registration number : 30275930
Planning a trip:
Valac, vacances à la carte, is the planning and booking office of la ligne verte. We help you planning and booking the right trip.Our packages start the first day ("day 1") with dinner or, in case of a B&B hotel, with checking in your hotel room for the night. Our packages end the last day after breakfast. So neither the first nor the last day are effective walking or cycling days. Of course the first day you can do a small walking tour and try out the bikes if your rented some and arrived early enough.
So a 7 days trip will include 6 overnights and 5 walking or cycling stages.

Service starts at the choice of a trip: lenght, degree of difficulty, kind of scenery and other preferences you may have: we will advise you in choosing the right tour for you.
Besides that, the quality of your holiday is also the service you'll get in the hotels, the food, the transfers of your luggage, support when needed, the most interesting roads and trails, up to date hiking and cycling maps and route descriptions to make your holiday a carefree enjoyment all the way.
