We want to express our deep gratitude to the Atlas travel agency and personally to our guide in France, Olga Andreevna Smirnova. To begin with, I would like to note that the program of the trip to Provence itself is excellent. Olga Andreevna managed to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere in our small group of 15 people. We listened with pleasure to her fascinating stories about France, and there were just enough of them so that the tourist would be interested, but he would not be overloaded with information. I would even say that these were interactive conversations - it was possible to ask any questions in a calm dialogue and receive exhaustive answers to them. We visited many cities and villages in Provence and the south of France - Nice, Cannes, Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Nimes, Arles, Avignon and others, but we did not feel any rush or authoritarian leadership from the guide. We seemed to be walking around France on our own.
Our trip was not gastronomic, but a tired hungry tourist still has to dine sometimes. In France, this is not so easy to do - and the choice of dishes is difficult to navigate, and you have to wait a long time. Olga Andreevna not only helped us with advice and explanations, but also organized several dinners for the whole group, translated the menu, and took into account the wishes of each tourist. Separately, I would like to note the work of our drivers from Lithuania - Jan and Thomas, they are real professionals in their field.
