We will definitely be using KimKim for our future travel adventures. Every day and outings Gersende planned for us were a dream come true. Gersende was able to plan what felt like the very best France has to offer. We will be coming back over and over!

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Pastel
Paris

This boutique hotel is absolutely adorable! Perfectly located for access to a really nice Metro line and you can easily walk to both the Eiffel Tour and Arc de Triumph. The complimentary breakfast they offer is delicious and there’s plenty of cafes nearby to satisfy all your tastes. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Grand Hotel Des Terreaux
Lyon

This charming hotel is in the heart of Lyon and was easy to walk to all our tours and sightsee. Perfectly situated to take advantage of all your gastronomic dreams! Plus, the AC worked!

Room smelled a little musky but the furniture and building are historic enough it makes sense.
Hotel de Cambis
Avignon

Perfect location to experience the very best of Avignon and diagonal across the street from the tourism office where all the tours meet. The bed and shower were particularly comfortable. Unfortunately, the AC didn’t work and it took quite a bit of work to figure out how to open the windows. The room felt like a sweltering sauna the whole time we were there.

The bed was extremely comfy and had an easy to use shower though the tub is extremely high so getting in and out could be a struggle and the AC didn’t work which made the room feel like 90 degrees.
Maison Durante
Nice

This was by far the best hotel we stayed at on our trip. The bed was the most comfortable and it had the best shower. The courtyard is perfect for nighttime wine and snacks. The staff was incredible and the complementary breakfast delicious.

It’s a two minute walk from the train station which made it somewhat convenient. However, you have to walk down several flights of stairs which was a challenge with two weeks worth of luggage.
