Some of Last Year’s Client’s…
“A truly incredible experience – on all levels. Photographic, senic and human. if you love france and photography, the bicycle gourmet has got your back!”
Larry and Meg Evans, Beverly hills, CA.
“As brits who’ve visited France many times, we thought we’d seen it all. We were wrong! Very wrong. Our eyes, and our insights were opened wide by the knowledge and talent of Christopher Strong. He Shared his “Secret France” with us, and our small band of photo adventurers…leaving us with incredible memories and equally incredible images. We will be back!
Nigel and Daphne Cavendish, London, UK
“What impressed us most about the Bicycle Gourmet’s Photo Workshop was his amazing knowledge of incredible photographic locations, most of them not in any guidebook. This enabled even technically challenged photographers(like us!) to come away with images so fantastic, our friends couldn’t believe we took them. Christopher’s patience,accessibility, and obvious delight in sharing his love for France was contagious and very inspirational. Highly recommended!
Sven and Gudren Larssen, Stockholm, Sweden
