Winter walking & snowshoeing, France
Most memorable? Stunning views from high up in the Parc National de Mercantour, well worth the effort of climbing 1000 metres. Also Liz's home cooking, delish!!!! Wonderful, would like do it all again and probably will before too long.  (more)
From £499 excluding flights
Guided walking holidays in the French Alps
It’s impossible to specify any part of the trip as being the most memorable because every aspect of the holiday was really quite perfect ... The incredible scenery and awesome walks, combined with the great guiding, lovely chalet accommodation and superb meals, made for a truly perfect experience.  (more)
From £475 - £595 excluding flights
Dordogne self catering cabin sleeping 4
Marks out of 10 - 10! Really enjoyed the set up of the cabin, very thoughtfully done with lots of information, loads of smashing little touches (loved the walkie talkies!) & fresh baked muffins as a welcome did it for me. The location was exquisite.  (more)
From €550 - €800 per week

We had a simply terrific time and have already recommended the house to numerous friends, particularly those people who are seasoned travellers and are tired of the regular offerings (more)

Pyrenees caravan park & campsite
Excellent. There is something quite magical about the site. Not sure if it is the caravans, the scenery, or Perry and Collene. Either way, we came away refreshed, and for the first time ever, we are really considering going back rather than continually finding new places to visit. (more)
From €85 - €140 per couple per night
Wine tasting holiday in the Loire Valley
The good memories started from our very first contact with responsible travel. They put us in touch with Mark and his wife and the wonderful chateau they live in which became our B@B for 3 nights. I felt we were visiting friends at the wineries because of Mark's relationship with the small vintners.  (more)
From €400 - €650 excluding flights

I think the attempt to reach the summit of Mont Blanc and in spite not having made it due to bad weather conditions it was still nice to have been to the Dome de Gouter. Other moments were the stunning landscapes. (more)

Budget ski holiday in the French Alps
Walking through the forest at night in snowshoes. Lots of other images of the mountains - in all sorts of different conditions...It was an energetic, relaxing, fun and friendly week. I had a very good time - even if I spent most of the time when I was on skis falling over... (more)
From £690 excluding flights
