Jul 21 - Jul 27, 2025
Our family trip to France was fantastic. We went to different areas and had experiences that I never would have known about on my own. Clo was a pleasure to work with and made our trip so easy and delightful as did the rest of the team. All of the guides Clo connected us with were also professional, interesting and well informed. Great experience overall!
Hotel Reviews
The unit we stayed in located right in town so you couldn’t ask for a better location. It also was convenient for our family of 5 as there were three bedrooms. The house was also well stocked and very cute. But it definitely needs a deep clean. (The house is definitely cleaned between visits but tons of dust and cobwebs.) in addition/ this is not a great place for people with mobility issues. The stairs to the attic are very steep and the stairs to the second floor are narrow.
Great location- easy metro access and near so much! Especially great if you want to take advantage of late night bars and cafes. The door lock takes a bit to get used to but once up and running it’s fine. Also, the four floors aren’t fun with luggage but otherwise not a big deal. The apartment is huge! The bathroom, kitchen and living room have been redone. (Bedroom floors are crazy noisy.) Just very sparse. No cutting boards, no laundry detergent or drying rack. Just seemed to lack some of the basics. (no extra blankets or fans depending on the season.) While didn’t impact our stay, there is nothing on the walls!
Activity Reviews
The Eiffel Towe is of course something not to be missed. We would have figured it out but it probably would have taken an extra hour if we didn't have the organized ticket experience and the person who got us in.
Our guide, Alex, was fantastic. Fun, knowledgable and organized. Everything was so easy for us- we just showed up and enjoyed! We biked mostly on flat bike paths and Chamboard is of course stunning. We learned a ton and had a great time doing it. We actually had no idea what to expect so the whole thing was great.
The cruise is well orgnized but very crowded so plan for extra time! I think we could have lived without the cruise. We went on the day before we left and we had already seen most everything so it felt like an activity that we could have skiped.
Chaeau de Chenonceau is a great stop. It was pretty crowded when we went and we were trying to dodge heavy rain.
Facinating and so cool to see the newly rennovated Notre Dame! We literally had no idea what would be included in the tour and it was all interesting. Maybe a little too detail oriented for our teenage kids.
We had already spent time in the area so it was really facinating to see the historical perspective and learn about France during WW2. .
It was really fun to canoe to the Castle and around the moat. It was a nice activity that broke up the day so we weren't just "site seeing".
The Louvre is incredible but it's so big. It was so much. more fulfilling having a guide show us the important works and explain the history and significance.
