Hello Liz and team mates,
Joan Carson and I wrote the review together that Joan submitted. I joined the planning late when Joan had much of it organized. We made a few changes together after I signed on- fine tuning actually not substantive. I can tell you that I fully share the points made in our full response. We were fine with the arrangements you suggested, lined up and that were so sensitive to our wishes. You informed us promptly about items that needed to be adjusted because of the tour company and we found an alternative that worked out fine. Had we needed more support during the trip, you were right there for us. Thanks so much,
Pat
Hotel Review
The pool is lovely and fine for relaxing with the jet massage or short swims. Its not for someone who needs to do laps.
Activity Reviews
You may recall I had some trepidation about Beaujolais area but that first stop (small, family vineyard with intro duction by the young owner) wonderful. Then the chateau with all its history and beauty and charm, the varied wines etc as we edged up toward Bugundy- lovely. Lunch in Macon where we chose a very small new place with local residents and fine dejeurner. And the final more modern looking, large enterprise when the owner's daughter did such a great job of talking about the many chardonnay varieties which were fabulous, ending with a Premier Cru. It was a wonderfull day, a full day and beyond my expectations. I would love to see the areas further north into burgundy but it was about right with the amount of time in the car- more driving would have been difficult.
Wonderful, don't miss
Wonderful way to be introduced to Lyon.
the day was rainy and we walked a long way to find the market. Take the metro or taxi. On the positive side, we had made reservations at a great restaurant for that night, and we were definitely ready for that.
As we said in our full review, starting off in city traffic means you need to be quite comfortable on an ebike. But alll in all, I enjoyed it- particularly the park and river paths.
Thank you both for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re so pleased to hear that the planning process felt smooth and collaborative, and that the arrangements aligned well with your wishes. It means a lot to us that you appreciated our responsiveness when adjustments were needed, and that you felt supported throughout your journey. We’re delighted that the Mercure Lyon Centre Saxe Lafayette provided comfort and convenience, and that the... Read more
