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!

A fantastic hiking trip in every way. Mickael is a superb guide with incredible knowledge of his region, and Caroline was wonderfully welcoming and provided excellent meals. The variety of hikes was perfect. And finally, our group of 10 hikers was really great. Thank you to everyone who shared this trip with me!

A wonderful family! The guesthouse where Mickael and Caroline welcomed us is truly fantastic! Mickael is a passionate guide, respectful and attentive to the well-being of his hiking companions. He knows a thousand things and is eager to share them with us. The hikes were varied and magnificent! Caroline, with her smile, prepares delicious homemade meals for us every evening – what a treat! We even had the chance to taste Nolwenn's delicious chocolate mousse! This is my second trip with Decathlon Travel, and each time it's been a truly wonderful discovery in every way!

I had a wonderful hiking trip in the Causses and Cévennes: varied landscapes for each hike, beautiful panoramic views, and a lovely gîte. Mickaël passionately shared his region with us, and Caroline prepared delicious meals. They both gave us a very warm welcome.
