Just to let you know we had an excellent cycle
trip around Mt Ventoux, so thank you very much
for organising the itinerary.
We really liked the Burrhus and the hotel at
Aurel - the Relais. We had lovely food at Aurel
and attractive old rooms. The other 2 hotels at
Venasque and Buis les Baronnies were more
tourist hotels and fine but I think we preferred
the older ones!
The cycling was brilliant and our son and his
girlfriend found plenty to use up their
energies. All the routes were interesting,
scenic and not too busy with traffic.
I hope we will be back for more before too long.
Regards

Bonjour Frans et
Barbara.
Nancy and I returned
home to Canada a few days ago and we want to
thank you for helping to make our holidays
in Provence so wonderful.
I have attached a few
photos for both our hiking and cycling
programs - hope you like them.
By the way, thanks for
sending the "guide dog" for us when we
started the hiking in Fontaine de Vaucluse
(photo number 241). He was very
friendly and certainly knew the way to
Gordes better than us, and he never
once looked at the map! And the fellow
cyclist we met in Aurel (photo number 486)
was very helpful with directions ... he
sends his regards.
Sending you our very
best wishes from Canada.
Au revoir, Al and Nancy

Our cycling trip in the Drome
and Haute Alps was just spectacular – thank you for
putting this really amazing tour together for us. 
The scenery of mountains and beautiful valleys and
rivers was breathtaking. The farms of
grapes,apples,pears – were quiet and peaceful.
I just cant thank you enough for planning this trip
of contrasts- little traffic magnificent villages –
every day an adventure. The hotels you
chose were perfect. The people in the
hotels very helpful and friendly. Our
weather was just stunning. The rides
were challenging but we both just loved every
minute.
Our tandem from Bedoin was
exceptional – an excellent bike. We
chose to do the Ventoux to start our tour – just so
exciting. From there to St.Paul trois
Chatteaux-Dieulefit-Umbleze – across Dentelles –
Beautiful- Die (Barnave) – so enjoyed this
wonderful place. – across to Serres – lovely riding.
Gap(Haute Alps – picturesque) – worth the visit.
Tallard – Jose friendly and fun. Sisteron (La
Bonne Etape –excellent. Forcalquier/Mane
– quiet and friendly. Sault – just loved
it there too. Saignon – what a quaint village.
The food right throughout was remarkable.
Wow! If I could I would do it all again just to
appreciate how magnificent the country really is-
really worth it on a bike.
Every day was magical – THANK
YOU SO SO MUCH.
Fond regards,
Just mention that it is a tour for keen cyclists who
are fit!!!!

Hello,
We just wanted to thank you again for the lovely
holiday. The walks were amazing, what a
beautiful area!
The organisation was superb, the directions of
the walks very clear and every place we stayed
was lovely.
It was a real treat not to have to worry about
anything and being spoiled like this after a
long day of walking.
We also wanted to mention that the first place,
B&B Casalys in Quillan, is highly recommendable,
as we heard you normally arrange another place.
The house itself is charming, beautiful
architecture and the people who run it, Guy and
Marie, are very friendly and helpful.
A good start to the trip.
So, thanks very much again and we hope to do
another trail again with you soon.
All the best,
Brian and Manon

Hello and greetings from Canada.
Dominique and I wanted to let you know that our
hike in Corsica was extremely successful and we
were very very happy with the way you organized
things. (Sorry it's taken us so long to get
back to you). Your suggestions for extra nights
in Sereria and Galeria were excellent as well
your choices of gites along the way. We are
planning on doing Patagonia next year, but
expect us to be back in touch with you soon for
our next European hike.
All the best

Hello
I have been meaning to send you an email since we
got home in August! We all enjoyed the bike trip
very much and found that it was well organised for
our small group. We had thought we would meet you at
the end of the trip to say thank you and give some
feedback.
M. Bazile was very helpful and his bikes were just
fine for the trip- solid and dependable- we did not
require any repairs at all. The itinerary was
interesting and about the right distance- with the
exception of the day you changed. We also liked all
the accommodation- each place had charm and a warm
welcome, with interesting food and wines. We
particularly enjoyed La residence at St Antonin.
Senouillac was also delightful. In Cordes they tried
to give us a room with a small room incorporated
that would have been suitable for a family with
children, but not for 2 couples. In the end they
offered the room at the top with a perilous stone
staircase and a fabulous view.
It was a very good trip and we would recommend La
ligne Verte to others.
Kind regards

Hello ... We have just arrived back at our
home in Wisconsin since we did some other
traveling after we left France. I am
writing to thank you for arranging the
wonderful walk for us and also of course for
your kindness in letting us reschedule it.
All of the accommodations were excellent,
and we had a wonderful time. We will
be in touch when we have the chance to do
some more traveling.
Thanks for everything,

Hi ,
We are back in the UK and I thought I would drop you
a quick email to say thank you for the fantastic
biking trip. The scenery was amazing, the
route selection had the perfect balance of
flexibility and challenge and the accommodation was
also spot on. In particular, the staff at
Hotel Toppin in Cavaillon made the trip.
In addition, I would like to thank you for your help
following the crash we had – you were very helpful
and we found all the hotel staff went out of their
way to arrange relevant hospital and dentist
appointments.
If we get the chance again we will definitely drop
you a line to help plan another amazing trip.
Thanks again!

Hi
Just a short message to thank you for
arranging a memorable trip for us. The
countryside and villages were beautiful.
Some of our group found the hills at times a
bit of a struggle, and the one day when we
had to cycle over 80km was too long, but
looking back it was a wonderful holiday.
We will certainly recommend it to friends.
Mr Basile who supplied the cycles did a good
job, we had no punctures, and the cycles
were in good condition.
Each of the hotels had its own charms, but
we especially liked the two with swimming
pools. And the trip along the river
valley from St Sernin sur Rance to Albi was
very beautiful.
All the food was reasonably good, and the
meals at Najac and St Sernin especially
good. All the hotel owners were very
welcoming and keen that we should recommend
them to you.

good recommendation to anyone who writes and inquires about you.

Just a short note to thank you for a very enjoyable
holiday.
All the arrangements were perfect and I enjoyed the
routes. I tried to do the longer, and
hillier(!), options most days, and the scenery on
them was wonderful.
As far as the hotels were concerned the food was
excellent - had it not been for the cycling I am
sure I would have put on a lot of weight!
Meeting you was an added pleasure - which helped
compensate for the wet weather that day!
Again very many thanks - I hope to be able to contact
you again at some future date.

Hi - Again, I
only have praise for this absolutely AWESOME!! cycle tour - each stage was
magnificent. From Avignon to Venasque and into the northern
foothills of Ventoux to Buis les Barronies and over to Sault (via Col de
Fontaube) - we then chose to go " up and over" Ventoux....just
amazing....(challenging on tandem) to Vaisson. From there a total
contrast (beautiful)- made our way to Chateauneuf-du-pape - Uzes to Frezzac
(Cevennes)- on to Montpellier- and the sea-side resort of Ste Marie de la
Mer (Carmague with white horses and black bulls). Making our way
back and stopping over at wonderful hotel in St Remy - this was a real treat.
Hotels were
excellent with very friendly staff - some - with
a welcoming swimming pool. Food was
outstanding everywhere.
Thank you so much
for organising a superb cycling holiday - loved
everyday many happy memories and much fun

Hi,
This is just a short mail to thank you for organising such a stunning
cycling trip for Karen and myself.
Everything worked out perfectly. The weather was superb, the scenery was
fantastic, the cycling was challenging but very enjoyable, and the
organisation behind the scenes was very slick.
We are already dreaming about when we can do it all again.

This
thank-you note is long overdue. Judy and I
wanted to drop you a short note and say that we had
a great time touring the Southern Rhone in France
and want to thank you for the very important part
you played in making that happen. There were
9,999 things that needed to go right for our trip to
be a success and you brought them all together.
In no particular order some of the highlights of our
trip include;
-
Olivier Hickman the
wine tour guide you directed us to was great, knew
his stuff well and really opened our eyes and ears
to the wonderful world of wine
-
The bikes from
Cyclix worked out excellent, and Phillippe made a
special trip late on the Sunday night to install the
pedals with clips for us. First class effort
and we appreciated it very much.
-
Getting our luggage
moved from place to place without incident was
something we counted on and thank-you for making it
happen.
-
The rooms and meals
were great, we especially liked the ambience, room,
location and staff at Hostellerie le Beffroi that
was our favourite and most memorable spot. The
hostess with smiling eyes at Le Relais
du Mont Ventoux made us feel welcome,
the Auberge du Vieux village d'Aubres was
almost empty but we were treated very well and
enjoyed the fantastic location with incredible
views. The host and hostess – Christine and Patrice
at Le Prèsbytère (Saignon) were very special, they
invited us for dinner at their home when the
restaurant arrangements didn’t work out.
Attached is a picture
that we took when one day at Hostellerie le Beffroi
we decided to challenge
Mount Ventoux.
What a thrill, we were tired for days afterward but
it was something we will never forget.
Thanks ever so much for looking after us and allowing
us to have a memorable and successful 20th
anniversary vacation.
Now – in 2008 we are
wondering if there are other trips that you might be
able to arrange, another cycling trip that would
offer a similar experience based on
Bordeaux
or Burgundy?
Please tell us what options you have that we might
be interested in.
One of the things
that we really appreciated apart from the French
environment, the scenery and wines was that in
France
cyclists have - or more importantly are given the
right of way. NOT SO in
Toronto, a cyclist feels like a
target!

We write to let you know that we made it back to the
States, and to thank you for a wonderful experience.
All of the hotels and meals were fantastic.
Our bikeride into Nimes was a great day- a tailwind
blew us into the city quickly. I hope our bike
boxes didn't cause you too much trouble. The
airline in Rome also found them troublesome.
Please keep us in mind if you decide to travel to
New York.
Best wishes- Rebecca and Sal

Hi
Frans and Francine,
An
amazing 13 -Stage cycle tour- thank you for planning
this tour of incredible contrasts -
In
Provence - loved the ancient villages of
Avignon,Gordes,Venasque and Vaison le Romaine.
We
cycled up the Mont Ventoux (from Malaucene) - What
an amazing experience that was.
Descended down to Sault (hotel great!) - then
through Gorges de la Nesque and in to the Luberon
(Saignon & Les Baux)
Our stay
in Fressac was very memorable with Luke and Delilah
in their stunning home in a secluded valley.
Onto
Chateaux Madieries (Charming). Big
challenge through the Cirque de Navacelles (Cevennes
Mnts) -indescribably beautiful.
Then the
Chateau Ayres (Meyruis) and Chateau de la
Caze- in the Gorges du Tarn - Riding alongside Jonte
and Tarn rivers.(Splendid!)
Heading
back through Millau, Madieries, Nimes to Avignon
Our
rooms were exceptional- the french food superb in
those majestic diningrooms. (especially in the
Chateau's)
The
cycling was challenging- and exhilerating- MEMORIES
FOREVER!!
So good
to see you both again.
A
CYCLE TOUR OF A LIFETIME!!! -
