Provence hiking tour, October, 2007
My father, brother and I spent 5 glorious days in October of 2007 hiking in Provence guided by Stuart Sommers, mountain man, naturalist, sommelier and linguist extraodinaire. Not only does Stuart know the best views and trails in Provence, he knows the best wines, hotels,restaurants, castles - you get the picture - and the story behind each village in the area, the local political scene and exactly when it was that the cathedral burned down and was rebuilt. Plus, Stuart is a nice guy. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a Provence experience beyond a tour bus and a hotel.
Hike to the summit of Ventoux, 2007
Excellent hike, highly knowledgeable guide, flexible approach, learnt a lot about the region as well as the local flora and fauna, thoroughly enjoyable experience
September 2007, week-long walking tour in Provence
Stuart was a very well-liked tour leader, who knows the walking areas of Provence/Luberon like the back of his hand. He has excellent people skills, catering for all personalities and walking abilities. Stuart also has a wide-ranging knowledge of a lot of things -- flora, culture, history, wine & food, truffles (!) just to name a few. And I have to make mention of the excellent picnic food that Stuart supplied.
