Dear Lucie, Anais, Alexia, & Audrey.
My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed Provence & Normandy. It was an amazing trip! All the transfers, train trips, & excursions went off without any issues. All the drivers were friendly, prompt, helpful, and personable.
We loved the Grand Hotel Beauvau in Marseille & Hotel Le Lion d’Or in Bayeux. Although the hotel in Avignon was historic & lovely, it wasn’t the right one for us. The narrow, winding staircase to get up & down the two flights of stairs to our room required a lot of caution. Additionally, there was only a bathtub with a hand-held shower head in the bathroom & getting in & out of the tub for us senior citizens, was a bit challenging. Fabrice & Veronique were lovely hosts & very welcoming & accommodating, and worked with us when we weren’t able to sit down for breakfast each morning because they didn’t serve it till 8:30 & we had to leave each morning by 8:00 to meet our tour guide for the day.
The Jangle Hotel was nice & the room was comfortable. However, the fire alarm sounded at 6:00am, and guests had to evacuate. This is certainly an unusual, unanticipated occurrence, but the alarm sounded twice within a short window of time, so we had to evacuate our room twice, leave all our belongings behind, all while we were trying to get dressed & packed to catch the hotel shuttle to the airport. I noticed that there was a Radisson Hotel right in Terminal 3E in Charles DeGaul, & this hotel would have been more convenient
All our guided tours were exceptional. The guides were very knowledgeable, informative, personable, & friendly. The itinerary planned for us, which was varied & comprehensive, was perfect. There wasn’t one activity we didn’t enjoy.
All in all, you ladies did a magnificent job. My husband & I are truly grateful for the care that was put into planning & executing this trip. Kimkim gets an A+ rating from us & I would highly recommend this trip planning organization without reservation.
Thank you for always being available throughout the trip, for being so responsive, & for being so thorough.
My husband & I will always have very fond memories of this trip. It not only met our expectations, but exceeded them.
Marci beaucoup,
Irene & John
Activity Reviews
Amazing @ very moving excursion
Unfortunately, due to heavy rain on the day we were to take this excursion, Pont du Gord & Nimes were closed to travelers. Our guide adjusted the itinerary, & took us to a Roman Theater in Orange, which was interesting. Despite not being able to go to the original destinations, the places we visited instead were historic & interesting
Loved visiting St. Michel.
