“The medieval and rustic getaway in the Herault Valley “with Belle Tourisme was certainly a high point of our recent trip to France. Our guide, Isabelle, was interesting, accommodating, and made sure that we had a memorable day. She provided a good choice of activities from cave exploring, to meeting local artisans and visiting their workshops. We were enthralled with St. Guillem Le Desert, and especially our visit to the “Village d’antan” where we spoke extensively with a creator of exquisite santons. We never could have had this opportunity of meeting with locals without Isabelle’s introduction. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
