Arles to Carcassonne

Arles to Carcassonne

Arles to Carcassonne

From the baby Alps- (Alpilles) past the Massif Central to the Pyrenees we will travel with Patrick Vidal along the Mediterranean Sea!  Sunshine, vineyard, mountains, olive groves, markets and ancient ruins and more await us!

Who are we?

Arles to Carcassonne

Arles to Carcassonne

Patrick Vidal is the prefect antidote to the "aloof Frenchman" stereotype. He's got more energy than that famous battery bunny, smiles effortlessly, and has an insatiable curiosity about the world.  He joins me (Chris Coleman) virtually to tour us along the Mediterranean coastline to show us some amazing places!

FAQS

Dates of our virtual experience

Virtual Tour: June 26-July 17, 2021 

We start on Saturday, June 26 at 11:00am-12:00pm CST with a live virtual event with Patrick Vidal who will be on location in the South of France.   


The general format of information in written and video content each week:

  • Saturdays: Live-stream events - Each hour-long virtual tour will be recorded and can be watched anytime.  There are four live-stream events: June 26, July 3, July 10 & July 17
  • Every day you receive fascinating information about where we are on the path in the form of video, photo and/or written content.   Certain days there may be more of a focus such as: Mondays: Culture, history; Wednesdays: Wellness tips, yoga for walkers, nutrition ideas; and Fridays: Food and wine focus. 

How many miles will we walk in three weeks

The actual mileage is approximately 40 miles per week.  If you wish to join the walking challenge, set a goal that works for you!  You may decide upon an alternate pacing schedule if you want to have more gentle pace.   Walking, running, yoga, cleaning your house, grocery shopping - time spent doing most all sorts of activities add up to mileage.   Set your pace and keep track on your own with a Fitbit or keep track as you wish.  You may also prefer to not partake in the virtual walking part of the experience and enjoying the cultural and historical aspects- it's all good!

Virtual tours, history, culture and more

Along the Mediterranean Sea will travel from the baby Alps (Alpilles) past the Massif Central to the Pyrenees.  Along the way we will explore ancient sites, markets, wine tasting, country paths in awe-inspiring countryside, seaside and mountain scapes.   

What do I need to do this

1) A good pair of walking shoes/hiking boots (if you are taking part in the virtual walking challenge)

2) A Fitbit or an alternate method to keep track of distance (remember we will supply you with a conversion table to refer to for all your other daily activities that add up to mileage!) 

3) A sense of curiosity & adventure-we are so excited to do this with you!

4) Sign up with your email and program payment of $99 

5) Once you sign up you will receive a welcome email from our Coach app that guides you with content each day

Live-stream events every Saturday on location

Live-streaming is scheduled for 11am-12pm Central Standard Time on Saturdays. Patrick will broadcast from the South of France and show us around where we are on the path for an hour.  


These live events will be recorded and will be accessible for your viewing at your leisure.  All content both live and pre-recorded will be available to you through our My Coach app, private Facebook group and YouTube page.  You do not need to have a Facebook account to enjoy this experience!

A coaching app to keep you motivated

After filling out the form you will get a welcome email from our coaching app that instruct you in downloading the app My Coach which you can also access online (on your computer) or on your smart phone.  Via the app, you will received content daily during the program with lessons and information relating to where we are which will inspire you on your virtual pilgrimage path.   

Optional Facebook private group to connect and inspire

Share your experience with others in the group.  What are your favorite walking shoes?  How are you doing with staying motivated?  What activities are you doing to add up the miles?  Again, it is not necessary to belong to Facebook to enjoy this experience!
