Hotels
used during our chauffeured tours in France
Here are the three categories of hotels
offered on our tours. All hotels have rooms with private
bathrooms. We always request quiet rooms. They mostly
have television and telephone, but in some cases (even
in the most luxurious establishments) one or both of these
features might be missing; please inform us ahead if they
are needed. By default, we request non-smoking rooms.
Air conditioning is not very common in France and is likely
to be available only in some establishments of
the "Luxury" category; please ask for it specifically
if it is important to you.
Please see our cuisine
page to learn about the restaurants offered for each of
these categories.
In all cases, you have your own driver-interpreter throughout
the tour. The tour is always ran especially for you;
you are never part of a group.
Tourist accommodation
Tourist style / business style hotels are offered on our "Tourist" tours, which only include private driver-interpreter, sedan / minivan and accommodation. All meals are excluded in this formula, and for that reason, we use this type of international standard hotels, where there is always a restaurant within the hotel, or at least at walking distance.
The establishments are rather large, and the comfort features are standard. They are usually reputable chain hotels. The hotel location
is central whenever possible.
Our "Tourist" prices mentioned on this website
include private driver-interpreter, car, and accommodation only.
Boutique style accommodation
This
style of accommodation is the most popular on our tours.
The establishments tend to be small, and each of them
has its own personality. Unless there is no other choice,
we do not book chain hotels. The room is of a reasonable
size, and the hotel location
is attractive.
Our "Boutique" prices mentioned on this website
include private local guides (you travel with your private
driver-interpreter, and local specialist guides complement
his knowledge).
Luxury style accommodation (best available)
If
only the best is good enough for you, then this is the
accommodation category you want. The establishments are
simply the best available overall in the area, and within
each establishment we book the best available room for
you (some suites or apartments, if specifically required, might incur a further surcharge).
Whenever this is the best option, the establishments tend to be small, and each of them
has its own personality. The hotel location is attractive. Usually, the hotels of the luxury (best available) category are in historic buildings.
Our "Luxury" prices mentioned on this website
include private local guides (you travel with your private
driver-interpreter, and local specialist guides complement
his knowledge). Of course, meals and wine are of corresponding
standard (see our cuisine
page).
Because A La Carte France Tours organize small group tours,
we get the chance to stay in some of the most amazing
properties and estates in France, that could not possibly
host large groups. Many of these properties are converted
mediaeval castles or later manors.

Hotel reviews
Best quality accommodation and their best location.
We stayed in excellent hotels, in the center of cities when appropriate, or in quiet surroundings when best, and all had really good facilities.
Hotel was very nice; had one pool for kids and another for quiet adults.
The B&B was very traditional and French - it really made the holiday special.
One of the best hotels we had was the one in Paris.
Accommodation was very private.
That day, we had a larger hotel, which contrasted with the usual small family-run places we stayed before. All was impeccable.
