Walking in France – Overview

Posted on June 5, 2015June 13, 2015 by wheezy

This series of posts documents our week in France in June 2015 on an Inntravel arranged walking holiday entitled ‘The Land of the Crusades’. We flew from London Gatwick to Toulouse on the Saturday, then caught a train from Toulouse to Gaillac where we were met by taxis transferring our group of six on to Puycelsi where we were to stay for two nights at Chez Delphine.
