A truly glorious introduction to Corsica's valleys & mountains led by a' Maquis' with knowledge, enthusiasm, sensitivity & humour.
Tips?
Dont expect much down time! Be up front about your level of fitness. Take insect repellent. local Bar des Amies is not a late night venue nor is the hotel Beau Sejour. Massage needs to be in-group as there is no place in village. There were rumours of a masseuse with a camionette in the square but..

The food. Charlotte is amazing! And by the way, the photography instruction and discussion was good too, Niall! One day I was last to arrive at the car. Someone made some slightly negative remark, to which Niall smiled at me, shook his head slightly at the remark and said, "We feed them into submission." He appreciated the power of Charlotte's wonderful food. Any request related to issues with food was always listened to seriously and taken note of. Things weren't just left... (more)Esther Andrews

The great organisation that appeared effortless but I'm sure reflected much planning and forethought.
