A wonderful experience

Apr 1 - Apr 14, 2025
I think my only "complaint" were our hotels in Paris as far as their location to the events that we had planned. Even though it was my responsibility to select the hotels (which were all excellent), I would have appreciated being told about the distance to the events that we were to participate in, especially in the mornings. I may have chosen differently so that we would not have had to get up as early or take a taxi.
Other than that annoyance, we had a fabulous time. Megan's favorites were Les Baux des Provence and Giverney. My most memorable was St. Remy and Amboise.
Of the cooking class, the one in Paris w/ Marthe was our favorite. The one in Aix was not prepared for us (I believe there was information we were to complete to help her in the menu.)
Hotel Reviews
The staff was so very nice and helpful and its close to some very good restaurants. Breakfast is simple, and matches the cost. Rooms were clean and compact.
This is such a lovely place. When we were here in April the flowers were starting to bloom which added an additional layer of loveliness. The restaurant is excellent, and its breakfast was our favorite of the 4 hotels that we stayed in during our trip to France.
Very nice hotel. Beautiful rooms and the location is excellent for walking to lots of different shops and restaurants. We had a facial while there as well. Excellent care by the esthetician. BUT this is not a spa in the way an American might expect a hotel w/ spa attached to its name. The spa part is a hot tub and sauna. That's not a bad thing, but important to know to set expectations.
