TOUR OPTIONS

PROVENCE WINE TOUR, MAY 2023

BEFORE AND AFTER THE TOUR
mediterranee, mediterranean
Grande Bleue véritable
It is possible, and actually a good idea, to arrive one or several days early in Nice, and also to extend your stay in Paris. This page will provide all the options available to that effect, as well as the room options during the tour.

All the rooms offered in my tours have private baths, and breakfast is always included.
NICE
Roof Top at our Hotel in Nice
You might want to arrive 1 day or more early in Nice, where time is stopped in an atmosphere reminiscent of the 1930's, the perfect resort town, which is actually a town in its own right, but on the Bay of Angels, one of the most beautiful location on the Mediterranean.

Should you want to do that, please take a look at the room options, which feature a price for additional nights, as well as a price for upgrades.

Our hotel in Nice towers most of the town, and offers a hot tub as well as a pool on the roof top, all within a short distance from the beach.

SAINT TROPEZ
hotel in saint tropez
Hotel in Saint Tropez
Saint Tropez is a beautiful location, with a history linked to show business. It is a theatre in open air on the mediterranean, where ravishing excesses may entertain us at any time.

In such an environment, I am very happy to be able to offer a place where normality, class without chichi, and peace are the norm. This hotel was originally a winemaking estate, now offering rooms exuding high style from the riviera, in several small buildings next to each others, with a pool and an excellent restaurant in the center.
ARLES
Hotel 1 in Arles
In Arles we are staying in two legendary hotels which are part of the same group, and are both either on or very close to the Forum square.

So there is choice between:

Hotel 1, which is a literal stone throw away from the Forum square which is Arles's epicenter. This hotel has been totally re-designed in a delightful and very colorful mauresque style. This is where we have the bulk of our reservations. It has a pool.

Hotel 2, is on the Forum square, displays a very classic elegance, and is a mythic location for photographers, as a high number of photography luminaries, as well as toreros, stayed there over the years. We have a few suites available there to experience Arles's festive life in grand style.

HOTEL 2, SUITE JR:

Suite Jr: From Asian to Provençal landscapes, from photography to ceramics, and tapestry to sisal, these large, sun-soaked rooms are decorated in eclectic style. Large posters on the wall evoke the heyday of the hotel, while photographs tell the tales of toreadors. The atmosphere of the bath comes from a mixture of modern and Art Deco forms revolving around a centerpiece – the tub – or an Italian shower.

These rooms are available for a tour upgrade, per room, not per person, of: $575.
