Daniel was an excellent guide for our tour of St Paul de Vance, Tourette’s , and Gourdon. He gave us extensive background on each medieval town, and we enjoyed each. We have a memorable lunch at Gourdon with exquisite views of the entire region. Daniels English is perfect, so we were able to understand all of the history for each town.
