Aline and Bastion planned an amazing trip to France for me, my son and daugher-in-law, 3grandchildren ages 10, 8 and 4 and my daughter. We visited Paris, Normandy, Aix and Marseilles, traveling by train. Everything was planned out and went as smooth as silk - no unexpected surprises, even with 3 children! The places that we stayed in each location were perfect for our family, all of our train travel was arranged, and the tour guides that were arranged for us for Normandy, the Louvre and Versailles were great with the children, as well as the adults. Restaurant recommendations were great and took into consideration that we were traveling with children. Bastion was in touch with us almost everyday checking to see that everything was going smoothly and he answered each question promptly, I highly recommend both Aline and Bastion for France and will definitely use them again for future travels!

Hotel Review
« Travel to the Old Time » - Notre Dame - 3BDR/ AC
Paris

This was a great place, with plenty of room for our group of 4 adults and 3 children - ages 10, 8 and 4. It was very clean and had all we needed in a galley style kitchen. Also it was quite beautiful with the many stone walls. We felt very secure and it is in a great location with restaurants, grocery, pharmacy and markets all very close. Would definitley stay there again.

Jonathan was a wonderful tour guide for our family trip. He was great with the adults as well as the children, making our trip to Normandy and Mont St Michel both interesting and fun for everyone. He selected great places for us to eat and was very knowlegeable about the history of both places He presented the information in a way to was wat interesting to young and old.

Thank you Aline and Bastion for lining up Alexandra of Family Focus while we were visiting Paris! Our tour of the Louvre and Versailles with Alexandra of Family Focus Tours was one of the highlights of our recent trip to France. My grandchildren (10, 8 and 4) immediately felt right at home with her. She expertly manuevered us through the crowds to the front of display and presented the most interesting historical information. We all learned so much. Also she added so many extra touches to entertain the children ( work and coloring books, treasure hunt, etc) - they were completely engaged throughout both tours. And there were extras for the adults also, as we all peformed a dance in the ballroom at Versailles, despite the crowds! I highly recommend her!
