We speak French, English and Dutch.With our roots in a small village along the Tarn we came back from Northern Europe to live the countryside life of the South again. We want you to experience the quality of life this part of France has to offer: a beautiful environment, nice and relaxed people, culture and ancient history and according to a recent French survey, in l'Expresse, every year again, one of the best departments of France to live in especially for seniors.

Planning a trip:
Valac, vacances à la carte, is the planning and booking office of la ligne verte. We help you planning and booking the right trip.Our packages start the first day ("day 1") with dinner or, in case of a B&B hotel, with checking in your hotel room for the night. Our packages end the last day after breakfast. So neither the first nor the last day are effective walking or cycling days. Of course the first day you can do a small walking tour and try out the bikes if you rented some and arrived early enough.
So a 7 days trip will include 6 overnights and 5 walking or cycling stages.
