Nous avons beaucoup aimé la randonnée dans le parc du Mercantour. Très beaux paysages, bon accueil et informations intéressantes données par Marc notre guide sur les animaux et la flore. Nous avons pu voir les marmottes , les vautours, la troupe de moutons , le berger Raymond et ses chiens. Les autres familles du groupe étaient bien sympathiques. Nous recommandons absolument de faire cette randonnée. Famille LE des Yvelines.
