Strolling through Provence...

We run a walking trip for a company called Country Walkers, one of our partners, based in the US. While I was typing away at my computer in the office (arrrgh!), two of my guiding colleagues, Mariska & Pierre, led the Country Walkers through the magnificent Provençal countryside...
Below, the vines in all their splendour:

Walking up to the timeless hamlet of Sivergues, lost in the Luberon mountains. "Sivergues" comes from "six vierges", or six virgins. As the story goes, the hamlet was first settled by six virgins and a monk. Lucky guy...

The group in front of the village of Lacoste, with the ruins of Sade's castle looming at the summit. Mariska, the guide, is at the bottom-left of the picture.

Enjoying a wonderful meal together...
One of our guests' comments:
"It was a fantastic trip, and we would like to give full credit to Mariska and Pierre. They were both really nice people and tried very hard to please the group. And the group consisted of all great travellers, and we all had an amazing time together."
