Guest Posting: French Catalonia

I have asked for some of our returning clients to send us their comments for posting on this blog so that others can read about some of the experiences people have. All in their own words of course. We really want to encourage others to follow. Here is a start:


About our tour in southern France: On the Catalonia tour was that Wil and I discovered a wonderful museum dedicated to prehistoric Tautavel Man. On day three, when we were returning from our tour of Queribus Castle (which was magnificent) we discovered Tautavel Centre Europeen de Prehistoire. The website is www.tautavel.com. The museum is in the town of Tautavel, a lovely town (there were a number of bus tours there when we stumbled upon it), and the museum is excellent--audio guides in English (and other languages). A cave near the town disclosed human bones from 450-650,000 B.C., making Tautavel Man perhaps the first European! We spent about two hours in the museum--the displays are oustanding! We also discovered many dolmens and other evidences of prehistoric man as we travelled around the countryside. This area is a real hotbed of prehistory, and you might be interested in adding more of this aspect into this walking tour.

Provence Classic Bicycle Tour

Our bicycle experience was all we hoped for--gorgeous weather, magnificent countryside, fairy-tale towns and spectacular vistas. Your directions and maps were flawless, and our accommodations were perfect. The France are excellent, predictable drivers--very patient with cyclists. We would love to return to France and cycle in a different area, and we would definitely use your services again. Thank you, Laura, for all your assistance in making this trip very special for us.

Catalonia Self-Drive and Easy Walking Tour

Languedoc is so steeped in history and prehistory, and the Vermillion Coast was picture perfect with its anchovie boats and brightly-painted coastal towns. The France were always helpful and courteous. We had a wonderful holiday, each day a new adventure. Our thanks to you and your staff, Laura, for your organization and assistance.
