Accommodation: A small inn near the Louvre This enchanting little hotel is situated in the heart of Paris, in the shadow of the Louvre. It is so close to St. Germain l'Auxerrois that you can hear the hymns from the former "King's Church" and see the Gothic windows from your bedroom. In the cellar there is an old printing press that was used to print illegal leaflets during the French Revolution. It is said that the reception area was once the Café Momus (a debating club of the revolutionaries) and it was there that Puccini allowed parts of his opera "La Boheme" to be played. Breakfast, true to Parisian custom, is served in your suite. The hotel is air conditioned. Sophie Aulnette has managed the hotel for the past 10 years and personally attends to her guests' comfort. Tickets to local museums and other attractions can be purchased at a shop near the hotel. |

Accommodation: Chez Burckel de Tell Corinne and Régis Burckel de Tell began the tremendous task of restoration soon after acquiring this stately 15th-century stone house. The building faces the main street in the centre of Calvisson, an ancient village surrounded by vineyards just west of Nimes. Corinne (an art historian) and Régis (an artist) were passionately committed to preserving the architecture and culture of the area. Ceilings were stripped back to expose original beams, floors were covered with stone slabs or terra-cotta tiles, and fireplaces were returned to working order. The couple then furnished the house with a charming rustic simplicity using country antiques and natural fabrics. In the heart of the house is a romantic courtyard garden - a true delight with flowers and greenery setting off the stone walls. Dinner is usually served here under the stars. When the weather is chilly, guests eat family-style at one large table in a wonderful room with stone walls and an arched ceiling. The bedrooms, reached by a stone-slab circular staircase, are individually furnished in the same tasteful, understated style. Régis, whose paintings line the walls throughout the house, offers week-long art classes for small groups. |

Accommodation: A villa above Vence The 200-year-old villa tucked away in the hills above Vence is an absolute gem. Guests are captivated by its superb setting, stunning views, attractive bedrooms, lovely swimming pool, and, most of all, by its charming hostess, Kristin. Kristin was born in East Berlin, moving to Burgundy after she married her French husband, Fredric. They both dreamed of living near Vence and opening a bed and breakfast, so they bought this large villa to use both as their own home and as a place to welcome guests. Each of the three bedrooms has its own private entrance opening onto a flagstone terrace. The rooms are comfortable but not huge, and each has a large window with a splendid view of the sea and mountains. Each is similar in decor except for the color scheme, which differs from room to room. Two junior suites are also available. |
