Mauvaise coordination de vos équipes Je n'ai pas pu profiter de cette excursion pourtant payée !!!! Les horaires de prise en charge étaient contradictoires et personne n a répondu à mes questions ??? Personne n'a essayé de me joindre le matin en remarquant mon absence... Je suis vraiment très déçue de votre prestation
