Erwin as our tour leader and the group were great company. The tour was a combination of visiting amazing places together with a foodie experience.
Throughout the week, we had pleasure in indulging in delicious food, wines, cheeses and sweet treats of each of the areas.
Exploring Saint-Émilion and visiting Chateau Coutet winelands in an eco buggy was a memorable experience.
Our cooking class at La Savie with Chef Frédéric was an absolute highlight; we enjoyed making and eating delicious porcini mushroom risotto, the perfectly cooked duck breast with roasted vegetables and the most amazing Crème brûlée with spices.
Another highlight was visiting Rocamadour and walking the Chemin de Croix originating in the middle ages; this was truly inspirational and thought provoking.
The traditional cassoulet dinner in Toulouse was a perfect way to end a fantastic week!
The tour gave us the opportunity to visit unique places we would never have found on our own.
