Three French Highlights

The French Riviera: stunning architecture and exotic gardens, hilltop communes and secret coves – as you travel closer to the Italian border, the French Riviera is enchanting. In the artists’ town of Menton visit the Jean Cocteau museum, and in the mountain town of Sospel, take lunch at the Place Saint Michel.

The Alps: marked by huge glaciers, massive cliffs, waterfalls and massive snow-clad summits. As you zigzag up the valley, forests take over and at 2000 feet even those thin away to reveal the mountains. The pretty town of Chamonix tends to be the base for those wishing to explore mighty Mount Blanc. In the summer trek through sweet smelling pastures, in winter explore the snowy wilderness by snowshoe.

The Loire Valley: explore UNESCO World Heritage Listed chateaux that dot the countryside as you leisurely ride through the beautiful countryside of the Loire Valley. Feast on deliciously ripe tomatoes and crusty French bread, and some of the best wine that France has to offer.

That was a question I asked the Canada based ‘Customer Experience Specialist’ in November 2021 when I first contacted Exodus on behalf of a group of friends. The reply I received was that it was because of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel. After my trip last summer, I believe that there are other reasons. During our hike we learnt that because of changes in regulations due to Brexit, Exodus had lost most of its established International Mountain Leaders and was relying on services provided by a third-party company. Based on my experience, I question the vetting process of this company for its guides. On day #5, as we were approaching La Fouly, a couple of group members wanted to detour to a waterfall that was off the TMB trail. The rest did not, but the group leader forced all to walk across a boulder field (read ‘ankle twist risk’) to access the trail to the waterfall. We returned to the TMB trail on a different path that was a safe hiking trail. Would a sensible leader put the safety of his group at risk by forcing them to traverse unsafe terrain? On the last hiking day, the leader stated that there was snow & ice on the trail (our hike was in August) from Le Brevent to Plan Praz, presumably to dissuade group members from hiking that last stretch and instead take the cable car. All but 2 elected to continue the hike. The only snow & ice was on the distant peaks! If you live in the United States, be aware that the company uses a reservation agent in Canada and a U.S. Operations Team. Communication between these two, and between the Operations Team and the local third-party operator was clearly deficient. At the time of making the reservation, because of the increased risk for COVID-19 infection in a confined setting, I sought assurance that we that we would not be staying in dormitory accommodation. In July, I asked for confirmation after finding that the accommodations in two locations had both rooms and dormitories. At one of these locations our group had to stay at two different hotels. The group leader told us that the Operations Team had not notified the local operator of our request and dormitory accommodation had been booked. After I wrote in July, they had to rebook and the Auberge did not have enough rooms for the entire group, hence the split accommodation. We were to meet with travelers arriving from the U.K. at Geneva airport for onward transportation to Chamonix. The Operations Team did not bother to notify us that the travelers from the U.K were arriving on a later flight. We spent an anxious 2+ hours in the airport not seeing anyone with an Exodus Travels sign and not being able to reach the local third-party company at the telephone number provided by the Operations Team. Writing to the company has only yielded defensive responses.

My first Exodus trip and not my last! Was well organised from the very start, the weather was amazing and so was the leader. My accommodation was great and added to the experience. The chalet hosts were friendly and welcoming and cooked high quality meals that wouldn’t look out of place in a fancy London restaurant. I would highly recommend this trip!
