    We spent 10 days cycling thru the Tarn river valley with a group of cyclists from Pennsylvania USA. We rode beautiful routes thru gorgeous quaint villages and farm land away from heavy tourist areas. We had exceptional service and hospitality. Claudia was so informative and helpful in planning our routes and travel to Albi and an authentic farmers market in Saint Affrique. We had the most memorable trip.would recommend to all !
