We loved our trip to Paris and Normandy. Travel was almost seamless… Paris is such a beautiful city. I would highly recommend staying on the Isle de St. Louis. Bayeux was lovely… if you go don't miss Selma Alabama…. And Mont Saint. Michele was incredible… everyone should walk in the sand….
Hotel Reviews
To be honest, this stay was a highlight of our trip. Selma and Gregory were wonderful hosts. The food at Selma Alabama was delicious , best yogurt bowl ever!!! The room was adorable… although we did not realize ahead of time that we would be walking 4 flights of stairs…it was no problem. The location was perfect! Everything was clean… and I cannot thank Gregory enough for carrying our luggage to our room…. We bought cheese, wine and bread to eat in the garden and Selma was kind enough to bring plate, cutlery and glasses to us… this B&B is a very special place.
Perfect location…. Beautiful lobby… the room was small, but clean and large bathroom. The breakfast was delicious and the Michael ( I believe) was just wonderful.
Perfect location for staying at Mont Saint Michel… Clean, with helpful staff…. The hotel is older…delicious breakfast buffet. The coffee was fair…. The best part of the hotel was the view and easy access .
Activity Reviews
Expect the Lourvre to be crowded, I should have prepared myself first… I am not sure why this was a Murders and Mysteries Experience… the guide was knowledgeable, but I dont feel we did anything speical
Lovely guide.
I felt we should see Versailles, and it certainly does not disappoint. The crowds are ridiculous. There are people taking information photo shoots everywhere, which was simply rude.
I felt having a certified guide was important . The insight she provided was important to understanding the history
We took this trip because my husband is historian. We have family in the 101st airborne and this was an important destination for us. The tour guide talked as much about what stars from the movie and come and revisited has he did the battle of D-Day. There was no discussion of the enormity of the event…little discussion of what the beaches looked like as our soldiers approached. We did see important sights.
We had already been to where she had planned and wanted to go to the Juno and Gold beaches… and our tourguide was so veery flexible and created a new plan! I would recommend this tour to anyone. You got a feeling of the country…
We had a fabulous tour.
It was such a pleasure working with you. Thank you so much for sharing your reflections! I’m thrilled to hear that your time in Paris and Normandy was so memorable. Paris truly is magical, and staying on the Île Saint-Louis offers such a charming, tucked-away experience! Bayeux and Mont Saint-Michel are both unforgettable, and I love that you embraced the full experience, even walking in the sand. It’s wonderful to know that travel felt nearly seamless for you. That’s always our goal,... Read more
