Amazing First Trip to France
This was our first trip to France and our first with Art-In-Voyage and we were not disappointed. The correspondence with Mikael prior to the trip was abundant and pertinent to any questions we had, which were many. We were very excited but did not have the nervousness that can often accompany this type of vacation. A recommendation or three for future clients: 1. Depending on the location, be prepared to walk. Invest in some good shoes. You may drive from town to town but in order to see what there is to see, walking is the only way. 2. Something we normally do but didn't this time: study up on the places you'll be visiting (i.e. Restaurants, cafés, notable sites). This is mainly important during the times when you are on your own. Mikael was great with recommendations for our free time, but a little extra knowledge never hurts. 3. Be flexible. Weather can and will impact the itenerary so be aware that things will change when necessary. I can't really say enough good things about our trip. Mikael and Franck were amazing hosts and were always concerned that everyone was enjoying themselves and were very knowledgeable about our surroundings. Chef Kevin Fonzo was so much fun to be around and the cooking class he led was one of the highlights of the week. And I can't emphasize enough how helpful Mikael was in the planning stages of our adventure in France. If you love food, wine and culture, you've found the right travel company. And to top it all off, we made friends on this trip who will be friends for a long time (we've already had a reunion dinner!). We will be traveling with Art-In-Voyage again! Cheers!!
