"We have vacationed with Papillon since 1989, traveling on the barge four times, on the tour to Tuscany and recently to Provence. Each experience was unique and memorable." Geoffrey Suszskowski and Carol Todd Thomas "The week exceeded in every way--from weather to wine, from view to vine--all our expectations. You made us feel like more than guests--you all made us feel like your friends just visiting for the week." Gerald and Beth Mayo "Ah, Papillon! One of the world's hedonistic experiences. Ellie's cooking, Dennis' wine and Jamie's tours: they take all the work out of traveling. What more to say? Well, we've been on four Papillon trips--two at La Juillarde, a jewel in the heart of Provence. Our actions speak louder than words' Dick and Marg Denny 'Since our return, members of our group have done nothing but rave about our Provence trip. The house is the perfect setting, and a great facility for our kind of group. The daily excursions were well-planned and educational as well as entertaining. And who will ever forget Christian Bonfils, the winemkaer! Talk about someone who loves his work! The restaurants were undiscovered jewels; and no one beats Ellie's cooking. We will have to continue our 'boules' tournament on our next trip (some of us feel we were shorted our true recognition). It was a perfect trip, and we thank you, Dennis, Ellie and Jamie for putting it all together.' Leon (Jack) and Bernice Robbins |

knowledge of wine - but his enthusiasm and lack of pretentiousness about the subject was
infectious. I was amazed at how I was able to discern between different grapes and wine
years - and within a week! Thank you. As for Ellie's gorgeous Tarragon ice cream with that
apple pie - that's something else ... Ben & Jerry need a tutorial!" Roy Sheppard
