France Specialty lodgings | Places to Stay in France

April 25, 2023 Sachiko Swiger

There's much more to France than Paris—from the fairy-tale châteaux of the Loire Valley to the lavender fields of Provence, and the French Riviera's celebrity-studded beaches. World-famous gastronomy and fine wines provide the perfect complement to the country's alpine views and architectural masterpieces.

What a great start of a couple of days at Disney. Great appartement, all facilities available for a pleasant stay. Nice swimming pool to cool down after a few hours of driving. Great drinks and great food. We were completely ready for Disney after staying at Staycity.

Le VIP Paris Yacht Hotel

Whether you are a tourist looking for original boat tours in Paris, or a couple that wants to enjoy a romantic boat dinner on la River Seine, we are pleased to introduce you to the most prestigious and original way to discover the city, as well as the most unique and unusual hotel in Paris. Our Dinner Cruises are unique in Paris and will leave your breathless; as from now on, your sightseeing will be done from your own hotel: a sailing yacht hotel!

View Eiffel Tower FROM The Seine & so much more on this floating hotel!

Reviewed By MartinNiemoller

View Eiffel Tower FROM The Seine & so much more on this floating hotel! This could be listed on both hotels and things to do! Pretty sure all you need is one night but you can stay more. You don’t even have to stay but it’s really nice after the river tour to stumble back to your hotel room. Staff courteous especially Zana (reception), George (breakfast) & Annette (email pre arrival)! We had the Prestige suite which includes a sauna, which we did not use, as well as the back balcony which we had limited use of. Check-in is at 6 PM, sailing at 8 PM, dinner starts at 8:30 PM, and return at 10:30 PM. The upper deck is beautiful and probably would have sufficed in lieu of the balcony but nevertheless a nice touch. The prestige suite also gives you access to the Premier dinner table which faces forward instead of side or in the middle of the dining room. Slight problem was poor air conditioning directly around our table that was much better in the middle of the room. Upon boarding, you will need to ascend stairs so if you have large bags be prepared to carry them up and down yourself. Nice touch would’ve been a ramp from the parking lot up on the upper deck of the boat. Dinner, very tasty with multiple dinner options and sensitivities to your food allergies. You will want to retreat from the dining room up on the deck between courses to see the view better. Dining staff will come up to the upper deck and let you know when the next course is served. Nice touch! Cabins very quiet and comfortable large bed. Of course, since docked all night, no sea sickness issues! Pretty sure we were the only Americans on board which for us is a plus but wanted to let others know. English was not a problem. Definitely recommend!

Reviewed By stanandjan2016

We had a bungalow right on the beach and the bit of beach in front felt like our own private beach as we could put the table and chairs and sun loungers provided in front of our property. Our only small gripe was that the menu showed a good range of choice, but each time our first couple of choices were "finished". Would have been better to have a menu for that day of items tjat were actually available. Would go again.

Mama Shelter Lille

Just steps away from Lille’s two major train stations and the Euralille business district, Mama Shelter Lille is centrally located, which allows travelers to easily explore the city. Each of Mama Lille's 112 rooms has been carefully designed by Jalil Amor to create a cozy shelter and offer the ideal combination of comfort and modernity. At any point in the night, the restaurant and bar welcome you with open arms, whether it be for a dance, to sip a cocktail or to indulge in a delicious homemade meal. A bonus feature of this Mama is the 180° view of the capital of Flanders. As always, Mama's thought of everything.

Mama Shelter was the ideal place for a weekend visit.

Reviewed By lawakhigbe

Loved the place made our first visit to a Lille relaxing. The breakfast was really plentiful and varied. We were impressed. The bathroom was nice, the TV free movies, the quality of the bedroom and bed was first class. The staff were friendly. The location was practical to see Lille, the distance from the Eurostar station was walkable. We will return.

Green Resort

Take a beautiful forest, 32 cottages, a chlorine-free mirror pool, add massages and yoga. You have arrived at the Green Resort. Less than two minutes separate this haven of peace from the beach and Ondres surf spot. Each cottage is composed of 2 or 3 bedrooms with bathrooms, kitchen and living room. A large terrace allows you to dine under the stars and have breakfast in front of the forest. The Green Resort offers the comfort and services of a hotel surrounded by nature without the promiscuity of the neighbor. School of surfing, circus, a yoga academy, massages, horseback riding on the beach, naturopathy courses, … the importance given to well-being and sport is one of the reasons to stay in this paradise of southern Landes. If you have the urge to mop, our team shares its addresses of craftsmen, gardens, museums, unknown abbeys, typical restaurants, organic market gardeners … At the Green Resort, your hosts, Querine, Patrick and their sons, Gabin and Floriaan, offer you to tell a story. The story of a Landaise family, attached to its land of Occitania, long before the notions of “terroir” or “regional identity” were born. The story of a family who traveled the globe before wishing to welcome the entire world.

Green and peaceful

Nice hotel for visiting Mont St Michel with a Tesla

Reviewed By powal

This is a clean and new hotel with Tesla Supercharger. What's not to like? A small playground for kids out front. Not much around the hotel, but the main purpose for this hotel seems to be Mont St Michel. The restaurant is ok, but not very inspiring
