Unfortunately i have to leave a bad review for this experience. First bad review i have ever written! Based on the great reviews on Tripadvisor , i have booked this experience as a part of my & husbands Wedding Anniversary South of France Road trip - as a highlight of the trip. Before i booked this , i have noticed that the same Person-Bertrand offers multiple tours in same day and some of them even clash .For example ours was at 5pm and supposed to be few hours ,but then there was another one @ 3pm for few hours and also more in the same day. Initially i assumed they will be hosted by different people. Even though all the reviews i saw ,mentioned just Bertrand. So i booked this and later on got a confirmation that this is available and it's booked. That was two weeks before the trip. So day before the actual tour ,i got a message from Bertrand saying that can we change it for the next day because of his "another job" ! I replied that unfortunately it wouldn't be possible because we are in Montpellier just for one night because we are on the road trip! He just said he can't because of the problem with another work. When i explained the situation to him again, he wouldn't respond anymore. I had a look on tripadvisor again(on Viator on also other websites) , and can see there are a lot of tours he offers on the same day ! I have asked this to him-does he just trying to maximise his chances of bookings and then just moving them all to one ?As it looked like that IS his another job .He didn't respond. I tried to call-no answer.I have cancelled just to make sure i get a refund. I do understand that things happen and i would normally accept this as just part of life situation. But seeing that this same person hosts multiple tours in the same time is just ridiculous! Also trying to change it on the day before when we had no chance to rebook it with someone else! And no proper communication or even apology of the cancellation. Maybe i'm the only one who experienced this, i don't know. So yeah ,thanks Bertrand for ruining most important part of our trip!

It's no secret that Sète is a well known arts and culture centre.  During Artisans Open Studio tour the artists and craftsmen will throw open their doors and welcome you in to explore their workspace. What inspires them? What are their techniques? They will be more than happy to answer any questions. There's an abundance of talent in this town, which is why I'm so excited to offer private viewings with seven artisans - including water colourists, sculptors and jewellers, millner,guitar maker and more surprises along the way. 

Inclusions: Local guide, Artisan surprise gourmet tasting, Snacks

Exclusions: Gratuities, Hotel pick-up and drop-off (if option not selected)

Thank you Olivia for a fantastic day out. We enjoyed the lovely village of Lagrasse and the abbey. We were overwhelmed with the beauty of Fontfroide Abbey. It is the best preserved abbey I have ever visited. Tresor Languedoc tours makes everything enjoyable and easy. Air conditioned car and Olivia was excellent with history / answering my questions.

David, the guide, was great. He is really flexible and allows you to stay as long as you want at any site. He is knowledgable and is great at sharing some of the mythology surrounding the construction of some of the sites you will see. The tour is varied - some beautiful old villages, a gorgeous lake, a little walking through some amazing rock formations to some viewpoints and a stunning old abbey. Make sure you wear shoes that are decent for some walking! And pack your picnic lunch to have by the lake. I was surprised that I was the only guest on the tour. So many of the region's guides won't do a tour for only one person, and David did not even raise the price! The tour is excellent value, and very enjoyable! Beware that the starting point is a little outside the centre of Montpellier, but it is an easy tram ride to get there.
