Many thanks for a lovely holiday. The tours were excellent and did exactly what your original advertisement said. Steve was a great leader and gave timely and informative talks on the coach. Whilst time was short at most places it gave us a wonderful snapshot of that part of France. We will probably book again with you in the future.

Although this was a short trip, there was a great variety of content - ancient and modern, hills and coast, large towns and small villages.
