Fabrice nous a proposé une très belle randonnée. Il nous a permis d'observer la flore et de voir de nombreux chamois, des marmottes. Le niveau de marche était parfaitement adapté au groupe. Très belle journée !

Daniel
Fabrice was a wonderful guide with a wide knowledge of not only the history of the area but the flora and fauna of the French Mediterranean coast. The hike provided beautiful views of the cities along the coast as well as the mountains behind them. Highly recommend both the hike and the guide.
Vicki
Fabrice is an amazing guide. We ended up hiking in the Esterel Mountains with him and enjoyed it so much, we signed up for another day of hiking near Gourdon with him later that week. He is easy going, smart, interesting, encouraging and fun to be with. Loves nature and photography. I am looking forward to trying one of his Nordic Walking group sessions next. We feel like we make a great friend in Fabrice. Recommend him 100%!
Daniel
This was our second hike with Fabric who is a great guide. He was born and raised in the area and is completely knowledgeable about the nature and history of the coastal cities and the park. The day that we hiked, was cloudy and cool at the higher elevations so he selected alternate routes that provided us with spectacular views of the mountain valleys that make up the park as well as a tour of Sospel a fascinating village that was part of the salt trade. The scenery is definitely worth the hike and Fabrice is a great guide and a pleasure to be with.
