Fell free to put it on your website, and I would be glad to give a
good recommendation to anyone who writes and inquires about you.

Hi Frans
Just a short note to thank you for a very enjoyable
holiday.
All the arrangements were perfect and I enjoyed the
routes. I tried to do the longer, and hillier(!),
options most days, and the scenery on them was
wonderful.
As far as the hotels were concerned the food was
excellent - had it not been for the cycling I am sure
I would have put on a lot of weight!
Meeting you was an added pleasure - which helped
compensate for the wet weather that day!
Again very many thanks - I hope to be able to contact
you again at some future date.

We had a
wonderful trip and would like to thank you for
putting it together. The Luberon was quite
something.
Kind
regards,

Hi Frans - Again,
I only have praise for this absolutely AWESOME!!
cycle tour - each stage was magnificent. From
Avignon to Venasque and into the northern
foothills of Ventoux to Buis les Barronies and
over to Sault (via Col de Fontaube) - we then
chose to go " up and over" Ventoux....just
amazing....(challenging on tandem) to Vaisson.
From there a total contrast (beautiful)- made our
way to Chateauneuf-du-pape - Uzes to Frezzac
(Cevennes)- on to Montpellier- and the sea-side
resort of Ste Marie de la Mer (Carmague with white
horses and black bulls). Making our way back and
stopping over at wonderful hotel in St Remy - this
was a real treat.
Hotels were
excellent with very friendly staff - some - with a
welcoming swimming pool. Food was outstanding
everywhere.
Thank you so much
for organising a superb cycling holiday - loved
everyday many happy memories and much fun
Fond regards -
Bert and Carol Bard (Johannesburg, South Africa).
Carol and Bert made a 15 days luxury cycling tour
in Provence and Langedoc. (Their fifth bike tour
with La Li gne Verte!)

Hi Frans,
This is just a short mail to thank you for organising such a stunning
cycling trip for Karen and myself.
Everything worked out perfectly. The weather was superb, the scenery was
fantastic, the cycling was challenging but very enjoyable, and the
organisation behind the scenes was very slick.
We are already dreaming about when we can do it all again.
Regards

Frans, this thank-you
note is long overdue. Judy and I wanted to drop you a
short note and say that we had a great time touring
the Southern Rhone in France and want to thank you for
the very important part you played in making that
happen. There were 9,999 things that needed to go
right for our trip to be a success and you brought
them all together. In no particular order some of the
highlights of our trip include;
-
Olivier Hickman the
wine tour guide you directed us to was great, knew
his stuff well and really opened our eyes and ears
to the wonderful world of wine
-
The bikes from
Cyclix worked out excellent, and Phillippe made a
special trip late on the Sunday night to install the
pedals with clips for us. First class effort and we
appreciated it very much.
-
Getting our luggage
moved from place to place without incident was
something we counted on and thank-you for making it
happen.
-
The rooms and meals
were great, we especially liked the ambience, room,
location and staff at Hostellerie le Beffroi that
was our favourite and most memorable spot. The
hostess with smiling eyes at Le Relais
du Mont Ventoux made us feel welcome,
the Auberge du Vieux village d'Aubres was
almost empty but we were treated very well and
enjoyed the fantastic location with incredible
views. The host and hostess – Christine and Patrice
at Le Prèsbytère (Saignon) were very special, they
invited us for dinner at their home when the
restaurant arrangements didn’t work out.
Attached is a picture
that we took when one day at Hostellerie le Beffroi we
decided to challenge
Mount Ventoux.
What a thrill, we were tired for days afterward but it
was something we will never forget.
Thanks ever so much for looking after us and allowing
us to have a memorable and successful 20th
anniversary vacation.
Now – in 2008 we are
wondering if there are other trips that you might be
able to arrange, another cycling trip that would offer
a similar experience based on
Bordeaux
or Burgundy?
Please tell us what options you have that we might be
interested in.
One of the things
that we really appreciated apart from the French
environment, the scenery and wines was that in
France
cyclists have - or more importantly are given the
right of way. NOT SO in
Toronto, a cyclist feels like a
target!

Dear Frans, Francine & Family,
We write to let you know that we made it back to the
States, and to thank you for a wonderful experience.
All of the hotels and meals were fantastic. Our
bikeride into Nimes was a great day- a tailwind blew
us into the city quickly. I hope our bike boxes
didn't cause you too much trouble. The airline in
Rome also found them troublesome. Please keep us in
mind if you decide to travel to New York.
Best wishes- Rebecca and Sal

Hi Frans and Francine,
An amazing 13 -Stage
cycle tour- thank you for planning this tour of incredible
contrasts -
In Provence - loved the
ancient villages of Avignon,Gordes,Venasque and
Vaison le Romaine.
We cycled up the Mont
Ventoux (from Malaucene) - What an amazing
experience that was.
Descended down to Sault
(hotel great!) - then through Gorges de la Nesque
and in to the Luberon (Saignon & Les Baux)
Our stay in Fressac was
very memorable with Luke and Delilah in their
stunning home in a secluded valley.
Onto Chateaux Madieries
(Charming). Big challenge through the Cirque de
Navacelles (Cevennes Mnts) -indescribably beautiful.
Then the Chateau Ayres
(Meyruis) and Chateau de la Caze- in the Gorges du
Tarn - Riding alongside Jonte and Tarn rivers.(Splendid!)
Heading back through
Millau, Madieries, Nimes to Avignon
Our rooms were
exceptional- the french food superb in those
majestic diningrooms. (especially in the Chateau's)
The cycling was
challenging- and exhilerating- MEMORIES FOREVER!!
So good to see you both
again.
A CYCLE TOUR OF A
LIFETIME!!! -
