This is Philippe Mouret.

He brought me to the hot air balloon take off site.

As we were driving, I found out he's the Philippe of Allô-Philippe Taxi service mentioned on pg 341 of the Rick Steves France 2007 book. He said that he'd driven Rick around in his taxi a year ago.

Philippe is a wonderful guy, friendly and very reliable. When he says that he will be some place at a certain time, he does everything in his power to meet that commitment.

I can personally vouch for this. Because the balloon trip was supposed to finish at 8 PM. Philippe said he would meet me at the take-off site at 8. Well, by the time we get back there, it was almost 9 PM. But Philippe, along with his wife, had waited for me. I was so grateful that I tipped him € 10.

If you're ever in Sarlat or the Dordogne Region of France and need transportation or would like to take a van excursion, I highly recommend him.
