We had a simply wonderful stay in the Cluny Suite. The apartment was charming, well-appointed, and very comfortable. We loved the neighborhood. The location was so convenient, and had everything we needed. It was perfect for a young girl just going to college. All of the students were a perfect backdrop. Thanks for the helpful information. It made everything easier! I would love to come back.

We thoroughly enjoyed Paris, and the stay in the Luxembourg Suite. Your arrival information package was most helpful. We never did figure out how to get the television to work, so we followed the suggestion of enjoying Paris instead of watching television. The fresh bouquet of flowers was most appreciated.

>We fell in love with the town and with the apartment!

>Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our stay at your apartment in Annecy. We fell in love with the town and with the apartment, which surely must have one of the best views in France. We hope we’ll be able to get back there soon.


With best wishes and thanks for your helpful advice,

>We have just returned from an amazing holiday in Provence!

>We have just returned from an amazing holiday in Provence! Just a short note to let you know that we had a most enjoyable stay in the Old Stone House and were rather sorry to leave after just one week! The village folk were so friendly and accommodating – our last evening’s meal to celebrate a family birthday was one of the best meals we have ever had. The early morning visit to the butchery and the daily croissant orders made the reality of small town living a real prospect to consider. The amount of steps to climb is a winner to staying slim, trim, and young! We watched A Good Year again last evening just to have another look at one amazing part of the world. We took thousands of photographs so will be re-living our holiday for years to come.

>We had a great time in Paris and in your Cluny apartment. Not only does the apartment have the feel of VERY old Paris, but the location is also fantastic. The towels were plush, the shower was strong, the toilet worked, and the beds/linens were comfy. We will recommend the apartment to any friends looking for a place in Paris.


Thank you!

We have arrived back in Arizona and settled in to our “normal” life. We wanted to thank you for your hospitality and your assistance in getting us started on our vacation. Your Harvest Suite apartment in the carriage house is lovely. The views and quiet location were a perfect start to our month in France.


We are still sorting though the million photos so we will send some later. The town that we fell in love with on our first outing was Cinq-Mars. We got lost and decided to drive though when we were turning around. It captured our attention, and forced us to slow down and take in the experience. We took your advice and slowed down significantly after the first week.

>The Old Stone House was a great place to stay!

>We returned to Canada from France on June 18 jet lagged. Our 10 week time in France was all we had hoped, and our time in Menerbes was most memorable. The Old Stone House was a great place to stay. Your English neighbor across the street was very kind and helpful!

>The Edouard Jacques Studio met all of our needs perfectly!

>We returned last evening after spending a wonderful five weeks in France, four of them in the Edouard Jacques Studio. The studio met all of our needs perfectly. It was quiet, convenient, well kept, and a pleasant place to spend time.

A couple of thoughts for your concierge book:

CDG – 3, rue Edouard Jacques: We can recommend the shuttle from Paris Airport Service (parisairportservice.net) or 01 -55 -98 -10 -80. It was 32 euros for both of us, and is door to door. Because others may be in the six passenger van, it may take a few minutes longer than a taxi, but it is much less expensive. We have used it successfully three times.

We, of course, found our favorite park. It’s the small park on rue Loesserand across from the bus #58 bus stop – no more than 100 meters from the studio. It’s quiet, close, and private; it seems to get little use. Its name is Le Jardin de Moulin du Trois Comets.

Thank you both for a wonderful week at the Chateau des Sablons!

After 92 degree heat in Provence (in May) we were enfolded in the cool, gentle, green arms of spring when we arrived (a day early) at Chateau des Sablons. Our hosts were welcoming, understanding, and invited us to collapse in our apartment a day early. And what a lovely apartment it was! The living area was flooded with light from two tall windows complete withworking shutters. The ceilings were high, and the wood floors were old. But pehaps not as old as the wonderful circular stairs leading up to our door. The staircase center pillar was carved from a large treetrunk after the stairs were installed many years ago. Much more recently the walls of the apartment were skillfully covered with a lovely fabric that softened the sounds and surfaces of the rooms. The kitchen of the apartment was new with all the expected and hoped for appliances – even a small freezer in the refrigerator. A vase of mauve peonies and a bottle of local wine were awaiting us after our first day. The king-sized bed was firm, and the bath had a blissful soaking tub. We would throw the window shutters open in the morning to radiant sunshine and the birdsong of a warbler, and the cooing of doves.

Besides all of this, the garden was postcard perfect with a gleaming swimming pool and clusters of tables and chairs set around the park-like grounds. The chateau itself is a perfect example of the exquisite, small country manors of French history. Not a huge castle, but a real and beautiful home. The local village, a 10 minute walk away, would have taken many weeks to get to know, but we were also in the center of the great chateau-wine-mushroom-troglodyte-Tufa cave-middle age village-Loire River-fabulous restaurants country. We could only scratch the surface and must return to continue our studies.
I would also like to mention how helpful, knowledgeable, and gracious our hosts were!
Thank you both so much.
