september 2026 Hiking and dog-friendly holiday in the Gard region with your dog
Translated from French
A brief, timeless escape in an incredible setting, in the capable hands of a fantastic coach who was absolutely lovely with everyone, humans and dogs alike! The location is wonderful, and the hikes are truly magnificent! A minor point regarding the meal arrangements, which could be improved on the first evening, as well as the picnics, which were a bit basic (one sandwich and one cake) and not very practical to carry if you haven't brought your own bag or picnic container. But these are just a few details that would make this stay absolutely perfect! ;)

The stay was incredibly enjoyable thanks to Andreea's kindness and ability to bring the whole team together. Her approach with the dogs is fascinating and allows them to settle in calmly within a brand new group. The weekend was packed with activities, and we ate very well. A huge thank you for this wonderful experience, both of the location and the doga (dog kennel).

september 2026 Hiking in the heart of the Cévennes and the Grands Causses
Translated from French
Fantastic stay! The guide was great! A word of caution about the breakfast: it lacked savory options and fruit. We had paid for a single room but, with our agreement, had to share a room with a woman for one night. The meals were excellent, but it was a shame to have supermarket cereal bars and processed cakes. On the other hand, the hosts were incredibly kind and friendly. A fantastic stay!
