After a year of planning, designing, researching, etc, my French Alps Tours takes its first guests on a sightseeing tour of the region beginning today! The tour has been carefully designed to touch on the best that the region has to offer. I have personally created this tour keeping in mind the places that has brought me the most pleasure in the two years of living here, as well as focusing on those things that are unique to this region and can’t be experienced in other parts of France.

It’s a very small group but it’s a good start and great way to do a trial run for future ‘adjustments.’  I’ll let you know how it goes.

We have scheduled two new tours for next year: June 4 – 11 and September 3 – 10, 2011. We already have four sign-ups for the June Tour so don’t delay. Put them on your calendar, and come join us for a fantastic tour of the French Alps.    

P.S.  Happy Labor Day to all my American readers!
