France

Great food and wine are just some of what France has in store. Prior to 1930, the Eiffel Tower stood as the tallest structure in the world and is the icon of Paris. Housing some of the most spectacular works of art is the Louvre with over 35,000 pieces. For more culture visit the Palace of Versailles but for outdoor activities, every July the Tour de France runs through the country.

Default A night in the bordeaux wine region

I'm looking for a recommendation on a place to stay (B&B or the like) for a night in the Bordeaux wine region later this month as a side trip from our visit to Paris. We're traveling by rail but may need a car for this part. Also any recs. on quaint hotels in Paris also appreciated. Thanks, Gary

Default Re: A night in the bordeaux wine region

Hi Gary
While I can't give any first-hand accounts of lodging in Bordeaux region, I have a friend who stayed at this hotel and was very happy. He thought it was a nice quality/price ratio. He was more interested in the golfing than the wine (his wife the other way around) but if you're in Bordeaux area, I assume the wine will provide a great time.

As for Paris...there's a whole Pandora's Box waiting to be opened! I'll simply speak of the one hotel I've stayed at, L'Hôtel Parc Saint-Séverin. Reasonably priced and a GREAT location. The only thing about this one is (and this didn't happen to me) I read that reservations have been lost so it's probably in your best interests to call and confirm after making your reserve. And if you're a fondue fan, there's a pretty great restaurant next door (sorry, I don't remember the name).

But really there are so many great (and quaint) hotels in Paris that it's almost like shooting fish in a barrel. Let us know how the trip goes!
