Custom Self-Driving Tours of France

Tucked away on a residential street in Bordeaux, this was a surprise. Close to the tramway with easy access to the main part of town, it was quiet and restful. The staff was very helpful in figuring out how to get tram tickets and where to board. They also did a cooked to order breakfast rather than a buffet and I enjoyed what they served.

Great location, charming suite, helpful staff.

I only had one night here but I enjoyed the lovely room with patio overlooking tall trees. That was refreshing. An amazing breakfast buffet!

Well located with very helpful owner and staff. Great breakfasts. Spacious and comfortable room.

Charming with a delightful and helpful owner, Veronique. Great location and easy access to the main part of Aix.

I really loved learning about the food specialties of Bordeaux and walking around the old town and seeing the food market.

This was a fun day. Enjoyed seeing Arcachon. I didn't have the right footwear to climb the sand dune, but enjoyed sitting in a cafe waiting for the group to return. A surprise was meeting a friend from my hometown in the tour group. She had moved away, and we hadn't seen each other in a few years. We had a lovely time catching up (and speaking English)!

Being in a real prehistoric cave and seeing the art there was a unique experience. Then seeing the reproduction of Lascaux was fascinating. The art was easier to see in this exhibit than in the smaller, real cave earlier in the day. Lunch by the river was relaxing and delicious.

This was a great experience seeing the restored chateau, learning about Josephine Baker, and seeing the bird show.

The villages, lunch al fresco, and a ride on the river were a delight.

This is an amazing site with a lot of steps! The ability to build so much on the side of a mountain was impressive.

I only had one night here and it was crowded with folks on spring break. The military aspect of the walled fortress wasn't my favorite, but I'm glad I got to see this unique town.

This was a surprise day! Since I had already been to Arles, we were able to visit La Carmargue, which was fascinating. We saw the bulls, the horses, the flamingos, the salt water pools, and the rice fields. Had a lovely lunch in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and a walk on the beach.

I enjoyed seeing Arles and thought I would be sad seeing the Hospital where van Gogh spent time, but it was pleasant and very interesting to see what we saw.

It was good to be with other English-speakers on this group tour. We enjoyed our time together and the beautiful villages we visited - including the square where A Good Year was filmed!

The hotel was truly a British gem. The decor was great, staff was very helpful and courteous. The morning breakfasts were great.

Our guide, Billie was fantastic. She pointed out a lot of really nice things and handled all the details so well.

This was a great dinner cruise. Highly recommend.

We missed this trip due some planning changes. We were informed of the changes but arrived too late for the revised bus.

Great location, attentive staff, large clean comfortable rooms and a great breakfast. Unique hotel that provided a fantastic experience.
