Dear Suzanne, dear Susin,
It was a great pleasure! I am glad you enjoyed your stopover in Sète. I hope you will come back for new experiences!
Kind regards, Audrey

Audrey truly listened to our desires and managed to plan a trip that was the perfect mix of seeing all the major landmarks, to small intimate tours that really captured the culture and flavor of Paris and Marseille. We had plenty of time to sit at cafes sipping some lovely French wine and taking it all in!
