Travelers' reviews about France

Well organized and we were able to see most of the items we wanted to see. Pickup service was excellent. Cooking class was enjoyable and well done by the instructor.

Wine tasting in the Medoc region

Trip was really wonderful. Everything was of very high standart. All hotels proposed by Frenchside Travel were fine with us - excellent rooms, delicious breakfast and friendly staff. But the best were people - guides (Paoline in Bonifaccio, Philipp and Valentina in Calvi and Bastia) with of a very deep knowledge of hystory, sightseeings, nature of Corsica, local style of life. All the time we were feeling their love to that land and their personal sharm. The owner of the Hotel in Corte is also very nice man.

Liked: the logistics of transportation and guided tours went exceptionally well. Disliked: There was a little confusion once because of language, in finding our vehicle after the tour. Very minor.

Here is a review i wrote to our tour agent already. Cut and paste as needed. We had a great trip thanks. I want to thank you, Objectif France and Evaneos for our vacation. You delivered what we asked for. Our drivers were professional, on time and always contacted me via text at their arrival. Our hotels were perfect. The locations were close to local landmarks so that we could walk easily from the door of the hotels. We especially enjoyed the Fourvière in Lyon. This truly is a great hotel. Probably the nicest one we have ever stayed at. Each hotel was expecting us and there was no confusion about what was included and what wasn’t. Our tours were fantastic as well. Especially Anna with the Louvre and Versailles. She was so knowledgable and passionate about Paris and the history. Sarah gave us a great tour in Normandy. We were moved by the Canadian war Museum and cemetery and stepping on Juno Beach was so memorable for us. Alex gave us the tour in Lyon. We really enjoyed his history lesson and the girls really liked the side trip to the silk store where we got to see the silk making process and they even got to paint some of the pattern they were working on. Here we also sampled some of the local food and shared a bottle of local wine. In Nice, Samuel walked us through the market where we ate so much of the local food we were stuffed! I must say that the high speed trains are delightful to travel on and I really enjoyed that. Paris to Caen, Paris to Lyon and Marseilles to Paris. So overall, a great trip. We found some amazing restaurants and had some great meals with great wine. There are things that I would do differently with respect to travel arrangement as I mentioned, but I feel that you did very well with the itinerary I gave you. I am glad that you convinced us to visit Lyon and I wish we made more time there. I love that city. I rented a bike and traveled up and down the Rhône and through the peninsula and the back streets. So much history and a beautiful city. A few more days at the Fourvière would also have been nice. The pool was so perfect to cool off in after such hot days walking around. I would definitely use your company’s services again to revisit France or for travel to other destinations. The Road Book and vouchers make everything so simple. Thanks again, Kent

We got to see everything we wanted according to the time we had to spend.

The highlights of our trip were: Toulouse - good walking city, beautiful churches, especially Les Jacobins; the locations concerned with the story of the Cathars, especially Montsegur; excellent private tours in Toulouse and Carcassonne with pleasant and knowledgable guides; pleasant accommodations at every stop with welcoming and helpful proprietors.
