Hiking in the footsteps of Marcel Pagnol

An exceptional hike in the footsteps of Marcel Pagnol! For my very first hike, I experienced a wonderful day with my husband. A huge thank you to Bruno, a passionate, attentive, and very friendly guide, who showed us breathtaking landscapes in a warm atmosphere. The snack with local products was a thoughtful gesture that was greatly appreciated. An unforgettable experience! I can't wait to go on another hike with Bruno. Thank you again for everything. See you soon. Sab and Chris
