Set in the countryside, The Chateau de Courtomer is a magnificent venue that is rich in history. Rich and Gail chose this property to give us a wonderful taste of the Normandy region of France. We could explore on our own or take arranged trips and return each day to our “Chateau” where we could relax and share our travels. Rich and Gail shopped for all the local favorite foods and beverages to ensure that we had a memorable trip. If you are looking for a unique experience with the comforts of home and lots of laughter, then you should travel with Rich and Gail!

Can’t say enough about the forethought and planning Rich and Gail did to make the Besalu trip such a success. Great location, terrific villa, wonderful food and a wonderful travel experience. Thanks HCT!
We have so enjoyed the places we have stayed at, the wonderful food and we have enjoyed the great company of our fellow travelers.

We particularly enjoyed the evening gatherings at the villa where we could discuss the our daily adventure with the others and, to hear about theirs. Related to this, we thoroughly enjoyed the format of being able to travel either on our own or in small groups at our own pace, and to destinations of our choice and time, and then to be able to return to our “home” base–the villa. The lively dinner gatherings and discussions were also great.
