The countryside was beautiful and peaceful and the villages were quaint and charming. It was SO cool to see the places that Vincent had painted. Victor (the guide) was phenomenal! Truly a kind, endearing, and knowledgeable man who made the day glide by seamlessly. I will say he is quite the quick walker, so make sure you are up for the pace.”

Join Bertrand for a five-hour outing from Montpellier to Pic Saint-Loup. Expect a steep, rocky three-hour hike, broad countryside views, local wine tasting, air-conditioned transport, and a stop in medieval Les Matelles. A family-house lunch costs €30 extra.

“BOOK THIS. Bertrand is the man. Informative, helpful, humorous, and kind. Whether you're new to the region or consider yourself an expert he has something wonderful to share with your group: a true local perspective. The hike is breathtaking and at least during the month of May the air is rich with beautiful fragrance and the sound of song birds. His mother (who blessed us with lunch) is worthy of a James Beard award. The tour of Chateau la Roque was simply delicious and fun. Oh and the transport is all included. If you're still reading this and haven't booked it yet then please go do that.”
