Our suitcase has arrived in St Jean with our hostess today!! Very quickly on the 3rd working day after we posted it! Most impressed with La Poste in France.

I used the yellow guide in soft book cover in ‘22 and ‘23 with success. I loved this route as you get to stay in people’s homes. Most offer demi- pension. You obviously need to call a day or two in advance to reserve.
