Personalized trips to France
for independent travelers

This hotel is ideally located right on the Old Port. It was quiet, parking was close, and the staff was very kind. The rooms were very nicely decorated and clean. The beds were comfortable.

This hotel offers excellent amenities for the warmer weather in the summer. The pool looks very inviting. The spa has a large hot tub, heated lounge chairs, and a steam room. The rooms were spacious, there was an elevator, and the staff went out of their way to provide us with a box to help us take things home instead of buying more luggage. The breakfast was extensive and delicious.

This hotel is just inside the hotel and in walking distance of a store if you need to buy anything from the French version of "Target." The breakfast we enjoyable and can be a brunch on Sundays. If you are taking the train this is a great option.

This hotel is inside the city walls. It's within walking distance of the theater and coliseum. The only access upstairs is to use the stairs. The room was comfortable, but the space was limited for luggage. The shower was nice, but the space for toiletries was limited—good value for the money. Parking is available nearby, but it needs to be reserved in advance.

This was our favorite hotel of the trip. It was so personalized. The dinner and breakfast were unmatched. The character of the Bastide comes through in every detail. The comfort of the different sitting rooms makes this location perfect for family gatherings or group events. It's also ideal for a romantic getaway. Brian had bikes on site for people to ride around the island or into Avignon. The beds were the most comfortable of the trip, and the bathroom had a walk-in shower and bathtub. This night will stay with me for years to come. I hope to go back sometime.

The hotel is situated right inside the city wall. It is in proximity to the Pope's Palace. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel had a classic feel with an inner courtyard.

This hotel was located right on the outskirts of the city center, perfectly situated for the Christmas markets. We had limited luggage, so it was easy to walk to the hotel. If we had more luggage, it would have been ok as there were not very many cobblestone streets between the drop-off location and the hotel. The hotel has a spa that has a suna, steam room, hot tub over lokking the river. The breakfast in the morning was delivered to the room and excellent. The rooms were spacious with a walk in shower. Getting to the spa you can walk by the pump room where the old pumps are on display. The building was originally a 17th-century mill that housed the Glacières de Strasbourg, an ice factory. The pump room is where the original, historic ice-making machinery, including gigantic cast-iron wheels and transmissions, has been preserved.

This hotel was a surprise. I loved it. The location was perfect. We walked from the train station, left our luggage, and went to the Christmas markets. In December, the city center is closed to traffic, which means taxis can not get as close to the hotels as they do at other times of the year. This made the convenience of the Arok all the more impressive. It was clean, spacious, and the breakfast was authentic. The Christmas decorations were carefully selected with a touch of fun. The hotel offers luggage storage for those exploring other areas of the Alsace region, using Strasbourg as a base. The Le Dix restaurant at 20 Place de La Gare, next to the hotel, serves great food that reflects the French-German region.

This hotel is very centrally located. It's on a quiet side street on the right bank. We enjoyed Montmartre, the Opera district, and could ride bikes down to the Seine and to the Arc de Triomphe. The room was spacious and had great character. The bathroom was spacious, featuring a bathtub and a walk-in shower, with plenty of room for toiletries. We had a couch and room for our luggage. There was a small elevator that helped to transport the luggage. The specific room we had was located on the top floor, featuring a slanted ceiling and unique windows. When you look at buildings in Paris, you wonder what the top floors look like with the smaller windows, and this hotel allowed us to stay in the city and experience all the characteristics of France.

Visiting the Old Port, Notre Dame, and Longchamp Place provided a variety of experiences that helped shape our perspectives on the city and its culture. The art museum and natural history museum at the Longcamp Palace offer a great way to experience some traditional art if you don't have time to visit Paris. The Longcamp fountain is massive and impressive to see.

This tour provided us with the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the city's cultures and the diverse offerings of ethnic foods. While exploring the local establishments, we gained a deeper understanding of the graffiti and appreciated the murals.

Beautiful views, opportunity to walk on the trails, and enjoy nature.

The Roman Ruins in this city are well preserved. The market is fun to walk through. This is a good base for the Camague, Pont du Duct, and other cities in Southern France.

This is a prominent example of an Abby surrounded by the rolling hills and agricultural fields of Provence.

Fun to drive through and stumble upon random Roman Ruins.

Worth the stop.

Laurence did a great job combining the Christmas Markets with wine tours. His knowledge was evident, and she did a great job balancing free time to explore and providing key information to help us better understand the history of the towns we visited.

Our guide, Gabriel, did a great job painting the picture of the relationship between the Germans and the French over time. The architecture of the city reflects this intertwined past.

This provides a beautiful view of the city. You ascend quickly and have the opportunity to get above the buttresses.

We learned a great deal from the guide. The buildings are truly amazing, and the history behind them adds significant meaning to the experience of visiting them.

Highly recommend taking time to enjoy the view and the store.

We were not sure about doing this activity, but the photographer put us at ease and made it very fun. We now have pictures to remind us of our time in France. I would strongly recommend this to any travelers who want a nice photo of their time in France.

Very nice hotel and spa. The location is nice because it is in the old walled city but toward the edge so you don't have to walk very far with your bags. The hotel is beautiful. Very nicely remodeled with well appointed rooms and a very large comfortable lobby. There are interesting things around the hotel as well as it is built on or next to the dam. You can see the water pipes and there is water all around it. There are a couple Christmas markets right outside of the hotel which is convenient and festive. The spa is very nice. Well appointed and they require reservations so it is not crowded.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. It is very close to the train station so we were not expecting much. However, it was a great hotel! The room was huge and well appointed. The lobby was clean and festive. Everything was well decorated for the holidays at the hotel. It was nice to not have to drag our bags very far from the train station. Everyone was very nice and helpful. They even have a very nice baggage storage room for those that are staying at the hotel that allow you to keep your bags there while you explore town after you check out.

This was a wonderful hotel. Hidden but quiet and off the main streets. In a very fun area of Paris. Small lobby but the rooms were well appointed and nice size.

Great location right in the heart of the old port. Nice rooms that are fairly good sized. Very nice staff. Safe.

AMAZING! This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in a lot of places around the world. The chateau itself is very well appointed. The decor is fun and interesting but very classy at the same time. The rooms are large and well appointed. Heated towel racks!!! Love them! The owner, Brian, is the best! So welcoming and friendly. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and welcomed. The small touches he ensured were included were so appreciated! One of the best parts was the food!!!! WOW! That is all I can say! Dinner was spectacular. Everything was delicious. Definitely one of the best meals we had on our entire trip. I would stay here again in heart beat! Love this place!

The photographer was great. We had a beautiful day and although it was busy near the tower he was able to take wonderful pictures that highlighted one of the most icon landmarks in Paris. The pictures we ended up with were very well done. A great memory!

Very clean and comfy. Terrific shower. Great location!! Only complaint was that there usually wasn’t anyone in the lobby working. Had to call a number if needed assistance.
