Hôtel Kyriad La Rochelle Centre Ville
From start to finish the stay was great. We arrived early on our bikes and they allowed us early access, and we could store the bikes safely. The room was spotlessly clean, super comfy, and whisper quiet. It’s a 10 minute walk to the old town.

Appart'City Classic Angoulême Centre
Great place to stay with the family - walking distance from station and excellent games areas to keep the kids happy! Staff were really helpful, lovely breakfast and fun/practical decor. We only stayed a night on this trip but would come here again and would recommend it to other families.

Aparthotel Adagio Access Poitiers
Really enjoyed the stay, lovely town. The stay was for an overnight with my wife and two children. Easy walk into town centre. Room was spacious and there were two beds for the children rather than sharing a double for the children.
