The No. 1 Ladies' Walking Tour Agency is inspired by the books of Alexander McCall Smith about the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency in Botswana. The similarities include a tiny, non-profit agency known for its humaneness. The difference is that this one specializes in small walking groups for maximum flexibility. If you know and love an area and would be willing to share its uniqueness, please let me know. Your on-site travel expenses would be covered in exchange for your knowledge and experience. Call Nancy Traer at 1-510-527-2302 or email ntraer@comcast.net. _____________________________________________________________________ French AlpsOur base for this walking tour in August, 2009, was a lovely chalet in Sixt Fer a Cheval, Haute Savoie, 74740. To see more: www.SixtAlpineChalet.com. Sean, Liam and Linda were our helpful and knowledgeable hosts.
The second
day was the longest and
The end of our most beautiful valley was
surrounded by waterfalls:
Cirque du Fer
a Cheval. There is a Reserve Naturelle,
a bar and restaurant and picnic tables in a
large clearing. We walked to
le fond de la
combe until rain discouraged us.
It is definitely a place to return and walk
further. There is an old abbey in the village of
Sixt
waiting for renovation but an exhibit there
allowed us
to see the once-beautiful
wood-paneled dining room. |
