Beautiful city, but a bit like a museum
The city has preserved its beautiful Renaissance heritage, but it feels like it only exists for tourists.

I went through Terres d'Aventure to organize a custom trip to Vietnam. I wanted hotel stays, but also to stay with locals in villages, see the scenery, and have local guides. I got exactly what I wanted, and I have such beautiful memories of this trip. To be honest, I might have been able to save a little money by spending several hours searching and booking everything myself, but it is reassuring to go with an organization that has experience.
Spacious, flamboyant decor, clean, comfortable, quiet, and hearty, delicious buffets for meals... I don't see what I could possibly complain about with this hotel :)

A huge city that offers plenty of things to do or see. You can easily party here every weeknight if you want to. The downside is getting around. You travel by car, and it is gridlocked. Public transportation or getting around on foot just is not practical, and honestly is not recommended due to safety concerns.

Surrounded by a private garden and isolated from the outside by a surrounding wall, this place offers a real refuge that is accessible on foot from the Champs-Elysees. The meals are delicious, and the spa is relaxing and invigorating. The downside: the price.

Cap Ferret has a reputation for being the favorite spot for the local aristocracy. It is true that the village is clean, and the houses are beautiful and wealthy. However, it is not bling like other posh seaside destinations (Monaco, Dubai, etc.). A beautiful area to visit. I do not know if the lodging is expensive there, but you can definitely stay nearby, there are campgrounds not too far away, and then come spend the day there.
Modern and contemporary art with a pretty varied mix of paintings, sculptures, and creations. There is plenty of space to walk around and really appreciate the works. The entrance price is reasonable.…
Modern and contemporary art with a pretty varied mix of paintings, sculptures, and creations. There is plenty of space to walk around and really appreciate the works. The entrance price is reasonable. A nice bonus for families is the kids area where they are introduced to art in a fun way (there are explanations in French in this part of the museum).

In a little corner of nature where you feel right at home, with modern and complete facilities for relaxing, an excellent place to get together with family.

Not too far from Futuroscope, but a bit far from the center of Poitiers, this hotel is fine for a short stay, especially for a team building event with colleagues or a relaxing break with a small group. To help you unwind: Futuroscope is 10 minutes away, plus the pool, the spa and wellness area, the game room...

A big, famous New York museum specializing in modern art, just like the name says. Definitely worth seeing, but I wouldn't say that every piece on display is a must-see. Some are plain, insignificant, and boring, while others are the complete opposite, with mind-blowing ingenuity or creativity.

Clean and pretty well equipped, not bad at all for the entry-level Disney hotel.

Well-known, but less famous than cities like Rome, Florence, or Paris, I would still place Seville among the most beautiful cities in Europe without hesitation. Its architecture blends different inspirations with a lot of harmony. History breathes through its neighborhoods, its streets, its palaces, and the banks of the Guadalquivir.

Very beautiful views, pretty statues, elegant architecture, for me the most photogenic bridge in Paris.

Behind the modern buildings of this city, there is an old center that is much warmer, right on the banks of the Rhine, with plenty of little restaurants and beer bars. Between the pints of blonde beer and the huge sausage sandwiches, plan on a little diet for when you get back ;) The center is nice, but there is not enough to keep you amazed for a whole week. A weekend is enough

I admit that I came to this garage museum a bit reluctantly, mostly just to accompany my partner. I really did not have many expectations. I actually ended up having a great time. The classic cars displayed there are not just simple vehicles but true works of art. I can understand the respect and even the admiration they inspire. A unique feature of this museum is that the cars are available for sale. But hey, that is not for everyone's budget.

Accessible after a short, brisk hike on a steep trail, this cove is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in Brittany. You could almost believe you were in Corsica. Unfortunately, because of the high volume of visitors and maybe also climate change, the site is now closed. I hope it will reopen soon.

Maybe not the most modern of the Center Parcs, but well located on the coast and a good deal in terms of pricing. I found the staff to be super welcoming and professional.
A bit off the beaten path compared to other Center Parcs, but a very beautiful region that is wooded, hilly, and even a little wild. The facilities are recent, clean, and there are quite a few activi…
