Thanks for a great trip and organising everything really well, your local knowledge and contacts made a real difference and your personal touch was really appreciated. All in all it was a fantastic experience in a wonderful place.

Sue & Bob - Sept 07
We could never have done this without you! What a great experience, a wonderful holiday for so many reasons. Accommodation, food, views/scenery, even the snoring in the refuges - not mine of course!

Winter Activity     back to..Snow Action

Anne-Marie Thompson - Feb 07
The first day back at work wasn't too bad as I managed to spend most of the day telling everyone how brilliant my holiday was - tomorrow won't be as much fun though as they'll expect me to do some work! I wanted to thank-you both again for a great holiday - everything was fantastic. Looking forward to getting the photos!!!

Paul Bibby - Feb 07
Thanks very much for a great holiday - the organisation was faultless, your and Liz's hospitality was exceptional, the Mercantour area is outstanding and on top of that we all had a thouroughly great time. Your enthusiasm seemed endless and we all felt that you could not have done more to make our holiday as good as it was. My daughter was very jealous about the ice climbing (but not my wife) so we may be back for more!!!

A really great holiday. The kids had an adventure and we loved the scenery and the fantastic hospitality! Thank you for making us so welcome, for the lovely picnics, and for teaching us so much about the area. Thanks for a great week - loads of good memories. Loved via ferrata and canyoning - thanks I loved all the activities and the beds were really comfy.

Noel & Sue Kidd - May 08

Just a short note to thank you for the part you played in our successful trip in Provence. Sue and I thoroughly enjoyed the walking, scenery and the company of our fellow trekkers. Also the final meal at your home will be well remembered. Please pass on our thanks to Liz.

Jak Radice - Dec 07 - on booking!
Thanks for being so thoughtful and accommodating. I've never experienced such a personal touch before and it's very nice! I really appreciate your consideration in all this. On the Trail of the Wolf

Jak Radice - April 08 - on returning home!
I keep meaning to write as wasn’t sure I had properly thanked you for such a brilliant time chez vous. Thought I might have scared you off with all my photos! Which I fired off having forgotten to zip them, sorry about that. If you want any written recommendations to be put up anywhere am more than happy to oblige. I’m just passing on the web address to a pal at work who was very interested.

Whatever happens, I’m on for Mont Blanc, have been maintaining my fitness regime and am going to review it with a trainer on Weds!

Winter Walking & Snow Shoeing     back to..Walking & Trekking

Paul Smyth & Carmel Bruton (Siúl Walking Club)- Mar 08
Every day was exciting and memorable because each day we had a different activity and went to a different place. Our guides tailor made and adapted the holiday to suit us. We spent two days snowshoeing, two days skiing, a day hillwalking and a day sightseeing. Brilliant!
Just a little note to thank you again for a fab week.   When I get my act together, I will email you on the pics.   Will you also say a big hello and thanks  to Gorgeous Christine and Luc.

Dorothy Scapens - Feb 08
What we really wanted to do without delay was to say a big "thank you" to you both for all you did to ensure we had a lovely holiday. Being such a slow coach I very much appeciated the deviation from the planned routes and Alan appeciated being able to do something more challenging.As for the Chalet with Christine and Luc just what is there to say! Wonderful -super-great!

Chris Conley - Dec 07
C'etait tres bon - encore - as Arnie says "we'll be back"!

Thanks Liz & Mel for helping us with our last minute holiday. We had a great week in a fantastic location, better weather than forecast, good walks, plenty of relaxation wish we didn't have to go home - hopefully we will be back.

We've worked hard over the past four years to spread the word in the UK press about Spacebetween and our beloved Mercantour. This has lead to thirty plus articles, starting well with a Number One of Place to Visit in 2004 in the Saturday Times.

More recently we have been pleased to be featured in French Property News in their January 2008 issue, and in Traveller in France Magazine Spring Summer 2008 - follow the link and scroll to page 38....and in the Saturday Times of the 24th of May 2008.

We were included in a feature on British people coming to France to set up ecologicial holiday venues.

We are also pleased to have the support of a great new Mountain website - www.mountainpassions.com.

Take look at the following links for our transhumance, summer and snowshoeing breaks.
