Nathalie and Emil were exceptional in showing us the full range of what Provence has to offer. Nicholas knew the wines and vineyards in Sancerre which met our goals for winetasting. The itinerary was very confusing to follow unlike the usual kimkim format. The train system was a complete mystery and many mistakes were made trying to find trains, stations, cars and seats.

Hotel Reviews
Hôtel Restaurant Famille Bourgeois
Chavignol Sancerre

This was the best hotel in the area but was minimalist in the rooms. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Hotel was 2 miles from town with taxis impossible to arrange and extremely expensive ($20 each way). Meals were delicious. The famous wine maker Henri Bourgeois also owns this hotel.
