As a kimkim employee, I recently traveled through France with Kimkim’s guidance, visiting Paris, Strasbourg, Avignon, Arles, Aix-en-Provence, and Marseille. From start to finish, the trip was seamless, thoughtfully planned, and full of memorable experiences.

The accommodations were comfortable and well-located, making it easy to explore each city. The guides provided excellent insights, and the self-guided information from Kimkim ensured we didn’t miss hidden gems along the way. Their recommendations for key stops enriched our journey and gave us a deeper appreciation of the regions we visited.

Transportation was flawless. Train travel was smooth, with transfers to and from stations handled seamlessly. For exploring at our own pace, the rental car was perfect. Following Kimkim’s advice to choose a small car proved invaluable—it made navigating narrow streets, parking in tight spots, and enjoying efficient gas mileage effortless.

The olive oil, wine, and cheese tastings were unforgettable, offering an authentic taste of French culture. Stopping at ruins along the way broke up longer drives into enjoyable segments. At the same time, hikes and outdoor explorations gave us the freedom to connect with nature and stumble upon unexpected treasures.

The flow of the trip was exceptionally well planned, maximizing our time without feeling rushed. The balance of guided experiences and self-guided flexibility allowed us to make the journey truly our own. Every detail—from logistics to local tips—was handled with care, making this trip both enriching and stress-free.
Thank you, Kimkim, for expanding our knowledge of France and helping us discover all that it has to offer travelers. This was a trip we’ll cherish for years to come.

Hotel Reviews
Hôtel Adèle & Jules Paris
Paris

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.

Hotel Arok
Strasbourg

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.

The room is basic but offers all that is needed.

Hôtel & Spa Régent Petite France
Strasbourg

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.

Avignon

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.

There are numerous trinkets and pieces of artwork to admire. We needed more time to enjoy all this Bastide had to offer.

The rooms were spacious and the grounds were beautiful. The owner was lovely and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We had dinner at the chateau and the food was spectacular. Both dinners were some of the best meals we had the entire trip. The owner gave us a private wine and cheese pairing, which we had done before at other places, but this was the best! So worth the stop! I loved the Christmas markets in Strasbourg and the tour was good as well. Having a rental car was well worth it. It allowed us to see so many unique and interesting sights like the Pont du Gard, wine tasting at Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and visits to Roman ruins in various spots around southern France. Driving was not too difficult. You have to pay attention to the GPS and watch for constant speed limit changes but the freedom a car provides is a nice addition to the trip. I fell in love with France on this trip, thanks to the wonderful planning and special touches KimKim included on the trip. Thanks for everything!

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!

Authenticity & Character
The history of the Chateau and the island it is on is very interesting. The decorations inside the chateau highlight its history.
Location
It was very close to Avignon (you could bike to the center of town) but you are out in the country so you have space to stretch out and take a deep breath. It is so quiet!
Staff
Brian was amazing! So welcoming and kind. He made sure our stay was second to none and he succeeded!
Cleanliness & Comfort
very well appointed rooms and facility. Very nice beds and the bathrooms are very nice.
Maisons du Monde Hôtel Marseille Vieux Port
Marseille

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

Authenticity & Character
Nice and clean with good amenities.
Location
In the old port across from the port itself. Easily accessed by car, bus, or taxi. Can walk to many things in the area from the hotel.
Staff
Everyone was very kind and welcoming.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very nice rooms with all the amenities you need.
Hôtel Adèle & Jules Paris
Paris

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.

Authenticity & Character
It was European in feel but not tiny.
Location
Great location in Paris that is easily accessible. The fact it is off a side courtyard off a not busy street keeps it very quiet.
Staff
Everyone was very welcoming.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very nice rooms. Stairs or elevator to the rooms. Only a few rooms per floor. Very quiet.
Hotel Arok
Strasbourg

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.

Authenticity & Character
Nice hotel
Location
Very close to train but easy walk into the old town area and Christmas markets.
Staff
Everyone was very nice.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very clean and comfortable.
Hôtel & Spa Régent Petite France
Strasbourg

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.

Authenticity & Character
very nice hotel that is clean and has modern touches in an old building.
Location
In the old walled city but near the edge.
Staff
Very attentive and nice
Cleanliness & Comfort
Rooms were large and very comfortable. Great beds

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!

Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and heartfelt review of your trip. We’re delighted to hear that the overall experience was wonderful and that you were able to see so much of France in a short time while still enjoying the unique charm of each lodging option.

We’re thrilled that Bastide de Bellegarde stood out as a highlight. Your description of the spacious rooms, beautiful grounds, and Brian’s warm hospitality truly captures the spirit of the property. It’s wonderful to know that the dinners and private wine and cheese pairing were among the best meals of your journey—those special touches are exactly what we hope to provide.

We’re also glad you enjoyed the Christmas markets in Strasbourg, the freedom of having a rental car, and the chance to explore sights like Pont du Gard, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Roman ruins. It sounds like you embraced both the culture and history of France, and we’re so pleased the planning and details helped make it all seamless.

Your kind words mean a great deal to us, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback with our partners and hosts. We’re honored to have played a part in helping you fall in love with France, and we look forward to planning more unforgettable adventures with you in the future.

I wanted to specifically mention our transport drivers to and from the airport. On the ride to our hotel, our driver took the time to give us helpful hints for the week, later he messaged us links to places we might want to see and when we arrived at the hotel, he did not leave us until he knew we were safely inside the building. Our driver to the airport was also very helpful and concerned in making sure we knew exactly where to go. I thought they went above and beyond. Our tour guides were all very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Kimkim was wonderful by communicating with us regularly before and during the trip, especially since we had a few hiccups with our arrivals to Paris and one hiccup at the Eiffel Tower looking for the tour guide. We really enjoyed our time in the city of lights. The pastry making and perfume making was such a unique experience! Loved that and loved the river cruise!

Aparthotel Quartier Libre Saint Georges

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.

This was a GREAT trip! KimKim, Aline, and her team listened and planned based on what we wanted. Nothing was preconceived! We had a little hiccup at our last hotel and they hopped on the phone and took care of it immediately. We highly recommend using the car services they planned for us - we felt very taken care of and very safe. Aline and team checked in on us and made sure we had all the contact information we needed. It was truly a great experience and I highly recommend using KimKim's services.

It was absolutely wonderful. We learned so much and got to experience a bit of the culture as well. I think we would have preferred to have a little more down time to explore and shop. We never did get to see the Christmas market which would have been fun. The apartment was perfect. Food amazing. It was an incredible experience; one that we will all reflect on for our entire lives.
