How do I find a local guide for Ars-sur-Formans, France?

Dear Mr. Steves,

I am planning a trip to go see where the Cure' of Ars lived and worked his miracles. Have you included this town in any of your shows? Also, how do I find a local tour guide in any of these places?

Thanks for your help!
Genevieve

If I didn't find anything online before the trip, my first place to look would be the local Tourism Office.

Hi Genevieve,

Here is a link that should help: http://www.arsnet.org/The-shrine-at-Ars-proposes.html

About a half million people visit each year, so there should be plenty of tour opportunities. When I visited with our parish pastor years ago, it was a sleepy town. I knocked on the rectory door, they gave me the key to the basilica, and he celebrated the Mass (glad I remembered all the responses)

Have a great pilgrimage!
