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. |

Accommodation: A castle near Tournus With its ivy-covered stone walls and gates covered with climbing roses, this inn almost seems like a mythical castle. It is situated in the middle of a meadow encircled by a leafy forest. The six guest rooms are individually decorated and the knight's hall is used as the guest lounge. The Roggen family, originally from Switzerland, purchased and lovingly restored the estate. Its location is perfect for exploring southern Burgundy. Tournus with its Romanesque church is nearby, as is Cluny, famous for its Abbey founded in 909. The mysticism and tranquillity of the region has always appealed to religious orders, and Taizé, home to the most important 20th century religious community, is only a short distance away. Thousands of young people from all over the world meet here every year. An excursion to Taizé is worthwhile for reasons other than participating in the daily prayers. |

Accommodation: A house on the wall of Venasque Friendly blue shutters are the hallmark of the Maret family home, which is "enthroned" on the city wall of Venasque and is visible for kilometres around. When the artist and chef acquired the estate, which dates back to the eleventh century, it was in ruins. It is now one of the best guesthouses in the region. Guests are enthralled by the magnificent view of the Rhone Valley. Venasque, the only castle which the Pope of Avignon could escape to, is the ideal location for exploring northern Provence. Excursions can also be taken to Avignon and the ancient cities of the Rhone plains or to the mountainous region in the east. Mont Ventoux, for example, is the highest massif in Provence, while the Luberon Massif is known for its beautiful landscapes, agricultural richness and picturesque towns and villages. |

An auberge near Manosque The auberge is situated in a huge garden just one kilometre from Moustiers, a charming little village on the backdrop of high mountains.

Accommodation: a villa over Vence La Colline de Vence, a 200-year-old villa tucked in the hills above Vence, is an absolute jewel. You will be instantly captivated by its superb setting, stunning views, pretty bedrooms, lovely swimming pool, and, most of all, by your charming young hostess, Kristin. Kristin was born in East Berlin, moving to Burgundy after she married her French husband, Frdric. They both dreamed of living near Vence and opening a bed and breakfast, so they bought an exceptionally large villa with enormous potential 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 off a sunny, flagstone terrace. The rooms are not especially large, but quite big enough, and each has a large window with a splendid view of the sea and mountains. They are tastefully decorated in a fresh, sweet, uncluttered style. Each is similar in decor, except for the color scheme: Amandiers is green, Orangers is a Provenal yellow, and Mimosas is a pastel lemon. Two junior suites have also been completed, Bougainvilliers in handsome reds and yellows and Oliviers in a decor of soft cream and brown. The pool is gorgeous with a beautiful setting?on a lovely terrace with a breathtaking view over the picturesque landscape of Provence. |
