From France With Love

Our ten day trip was absolutely marvelous. From the hotels that were chosen to the tours that were booked we had every we could ever want and more. Lyon was magical and the food delicious. Annecy was an unexpected gem with an abundance of outdoor activities only topped by our four days in Chamonix. We have never been to a more well appointed hotel as the Heliopic. It was absolutely perfect for us and our daughter.

We worked with Olivier as our tour guide. He was the best tour professional I have ever worked with. He paid close attention to all our requests. He designed our mother-daughter dream trip with care and attention to detail. On our last evening, Olivier planned a river cruise on the Seine and added in a surprise birthday cake delivered by the crew. Who could ask for more?
