SLEEP AND EAT IN FRANCE
Aix-en-Provence
Hotel du Globe -- Reasonably priced hotel in a good location.
Antibes
Hotel La Place -- LOVED this place. Charming and comfortable and in a good location. Expensive during the high season but very reasonably priced in the off season.
Avignon
Hotel Regina -- Basic but super clean hotel in an excellent location near the Palais des Papes
Restaurant EAT -- Tasty food with super friendly staff. The owner spent lots of time telling me where to go. She speaks English but spoke very slowly to me in French (which I enjoyed).
Carcassonne
Hotel du Pont Vieux -- Nice, basic hotel in the lower town. Friendly staff. Good breakfast and nice but small rooftop terrace with a great view of the fortress. No elevator.
Auberge de Dame Carcas -- Yummy brasserie in the old city. Have the cassoulet. Full of locals -- which is always a good sign in tourist areas.
Nice
Hotel La Villa Nice Victor Hugo -- Lovely hotel in a Victorian era building. Excellent value and location.
Paris
Hotel & Spa Saint-Jacques -- Super cute hotel in the Latin Quarter. Fantastic value for pricey Paris. Great location not far from Notre Dame. Lots of good restaurants and bakeries nearby.
La Jacobine -- Best. Onion. Soup. Ever. Cute restaurant hidden in a charming alley in the Latin Quarter. Go. Just go.
