Europe's only grand canyon.
Reviewed By B_Brierley - London, United Kingdom
We visited for 1 day in August 2020, and even in the height of summer with many other tourists, this was still an incredible experience. We arrived at La Base Nautique de l'Etoile which is the closest pedalo/kayak rental to the Gorge opening (on the left bank when looking at the Gorge) at 8:45am and joined the already formed queue of people (opens at 9am). We rented a pedalo for 40Euros for 2 hours - this allowed us to pedal as far as the Gorges allows (in terms of signposts, not in terms of ability) and enjoy some swimming while docked at the side before heading back. We could have used more time to relax and just enjoy. Arriving that early in the morning affords you some quieter time in the Gorge, even in summer, before it gets really filled up with boats/people. Due to our next stop, we ended up driving the D952 to Castellane by total chance which turned out to be one of our TOP drives of all time - just stunning and highly recommended.

A transverse road in the South of France, between Toulon and Marseille. Not the shortest one, especially compared to the close by highway. But hell (pun intended), the scenery is so incredible that it's a must go !

Reviewed By F5688MWluket
I visited Tignes with a large group of friends last week - All of which were intermediate/advanced skiers, and when compared to me only having had one lesson at the snow dome prior to flying out, it was safe to say I was a beginner. I met with Tom on my first day of skiing for a private 2.5 hr morning lesson and wasn't expecting to come away as confident as I did. He was so professional, gave great advice and just an all round great teacher/instructor. We started off going down from the half way point of some green runs to assess how easily I could stop and how much control I had etc. Once I felt more confident with stopping/turning we then went down some blues. By the end of the lesson I was parallel skiing going down some fast blues, with Tom right behind me. After the lesson had ended, I rejoined my group of friends and felt confident going down every blue in Tignes / Val D'isere and even ended the holiday on the third day going down 3 red runs. I would 100% recommend a private lesson as you get the instructors full attention and they can really get to work on your technique. Also cant recommend Tom enough - He took me from someone who had never ski'd on real snow before, to going down blues and reds and all from one x 2.5 lesson. Cheers Tom!

The stunning natural beauty of the Calanques along the South Coast of France is a must do. We went on a boat tour which departed from Marseille (booked through Airbnb experience) which was amazing, but there are so many ways to visit this national park.

Lorenzo was an excellent and fun instructor. I had never snowboarded before and am now able to do most slopes. He met us in St Martin (travelling over from Val Thorens) and was always early. Thank you Lorenzo
