We had a wonderful weeklong trip to Annecy and Chamonix thanks to Amandine. After spending two weeks in Paris I wanted to go to a beautiful place away from the city and the crowds where my family (myself, husband, and two kids ages 12 and 10) could go hiking and do other outdoor activites, but I was overwhelmed thinking about planning this trip myself. After staying in airbnbs and doing all the research myself for many years I took a leap of faith and put my trust in Amandine and she did not disappoint. She was friendly, professional, responsive, and efficient with making revisions. She selected ideal destinations, arranged TGV tickets (including a surprise upgrade to first-class), found mid-range hotels with clean, comfortable rooms that had beds for each kid and nice breakfasts, arranged transparent kayak rentals, bike rentals, and gondola tickets, scheduled a hiking guide (Quentin was amazing) and two drivers, and recommended restaurants. I felt a genuine connection with her and the extra money was well-spent. I wouldn't hesitate to ask her for help planning another trip to France.

Dear Alison,

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. Reading your review truly means a lot to me.

It was such a pleasure helping you plan this part of your family's journey after your time in Paris. I loved the idea of creating a week that combined outdoor adventures and quality family time in Annecy and Chamonix. I'm so happy to hear that it turned out to be everything you were hoping for.

And I smiled when I read your mention of the surprise first-class upgrade. I’m glad you enjoyed that little extra! And I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Quentin; he'll be delighted to know he helped make your trip so memorable.

I hope your children will keep wonderful memories of biking around the lake, hiking in the Alps and all the special moments you shared together. It would be an absolute pleasure to help you discover another region of France one day.

Until then, I wish you and your family many more beautiful adventures together!

Warmly,

Amandine
