 In fact:
 

Gerry Stephenson, our neighbour and friend, toured with us in 2017, on his own at 85. The tour was entirely designed for him. He's semi-retired, an ex coal mining engineer, very active in his community and still doing high-end consulting work.

Hence Véronique designed a bespoke personal tour just for him, his interests and requests in mind.

Once back in Canada, Gerry wrote the following testimonial:
"I had not imagined that such a beautiful part of France could be so attractive yet have only enough tourists to make it interesting and no crowds to disturb our outings.


We saw deep and spectacular gorges, lovely rivers and villages with well-preserved, very old houses and churches.
As a coal miner and Mining Engineer I was particularly interested in the two museums one of which had specially constructed mine roadways which were totally authentic and housed equipment, artifacts and photographs illustrating the coal mining history of parts of the Aveyron region.


If you are interested in learning about European, and particularly French, history and customs and visiting beautiful countryside you should consider joining one of these very personal tours hosted by a couple who grew up in this lovely part of France."

The experience is built around what you and your friends/family/colleagues (or just you) want to enjoy, experience, see and do. Every trip is different! No matter what you want to do, Véronique will design your perfect experience in (her) France.

You will not just be travelling among locals, you'll be living as a local on your trip with us. Living like locals in Aveyron, Occitanie is a remarkable experience—let alone one of the last secret corners of France. With Véronique, you won't ever feel a tourist but a friend. She will open doors for you, you wouldn't be able on your own.
