Feedbacks
This trip was a bucket list trip with unforgettable memories we created with our kids who are 8 and 10. We biked 100 miles over the week with an amazing visit to Zooparc de Beauval. The last two hotels were the icing on the cake with beautiful p ... ools to swim in! Big shout out to Gabriel Tavares who helped answer all of our questions before and during the trip. So responsive, so kind and such a gem! He even recommended a restaurant at our last stop which was sooooo good : Via Roma. Thank you!!
