Pierre's trip with Walk Inn...

Our friend Pierre, a very experienced guide, led Walk Inn's latest walking trip through Provence. But Provence isn't just about walking: below Pierre is describing the finer details about the strategy of the game of Pétanque. The only thing missing from the scene is the glass of Pastis...

But Pierre did indeed walk with his group. The photo below was taken atop the Alpilles mountains, at a spot called the Rocher des deux trous, or "rock of two holes". One of the holes is seen below, framing the town of St. Rémy de Provence.

In St. Rémy de Provence Pierre took his group to his favourite off-the-beaten-track spot, a restaurant set within an ancient quarry, where its proprietor and only worker, now 80 years old, still does all the preparation and cooking himself (I'll have to check it out next time I'm in St. Rémy).

Here is the famed Auberge des Seguins: a renovated 17th century goat farm, and modernized into a hotel.

And Pierre's group atop the Alpilles mountains, overlooking the 1000 year-old village of Les Baux de Provence. 

I'll be leading this very same trip in September, and there's still some space available. To check out the holiday:
