Stuart Sommers
Stuart grew up in Canada and worked as a teacher in a French Immersion school before arriving in Provence, and becoming a real specialist of the region.
One of only a handful of “foreigners” to successfully pass the French mountain guiding diploma, few paths of Provence are a mystery to him.
Stuart prides himself on his gourmet Provençal picnics and après-hike activities like pétanque, and wine tasting.
In July and August you can find Stuart on the island of Madeira, guiding French groups along the trails.

Pierre Luneau
Pierre studied at a renowned art school in Paris before joining his brother in his ceramic workshop; Pierre would spend his Friday nights driving his Citroen Deux-chevaux 700 kilometers across France to the Alps, for a weekend of extreme climbing, before driving back again for Monday morning eight o' clock.
Later in life he decided to leave clay and earthenware for what it was, to take off into the airs. As a certified paragliding instructor he turns his pupils into birds.
But he lands from time to time to walk the paths of southern France and share his passion for wild flowers, history, travels and storytelling.
