Select accommodations in France and in Europe

This site was created out of a desire to share unique vacation ideas—the kind of special lodgings that you usually find by chance during a trip.

Places where you can talk and exchange with the owners, because behind every hotel, château, or bed and breakfast there is someone who enjoys receiving guests, be it the owner or the manage.

We are particularly demanding about how you are welcomed and the service you receive.  Above all, tourism is about welcoming guests, sharing the space where you are, and putting others at ease.

Our Selection Committee, staffed with experts in both art and the art of living, are completely independent of the selected establishments and their work is based on strict criteria, with service at the head of the list.  Today we have some 30 people on our committee throughout France.

These unique establishments have been selected for private travelers, but also are suitable for business trips.  Warm, intimate lodgings are increasingly in demand by business travelers using the Internet—a welcome alternative to chain hotels that are focused on comfort but offer identical rooms and services. 

In France, we are lucky to have been blessed with exceptional architectural and historical riches, as well as a tradition of receiving guests in style.  Paris, France, and Europe will continue to be top travel destinations for years to come.
