Relais & Chateux
The Relais & Chateux hotel chain has properties throughout France. Many of their hotels are grand manors located in green country settings, by vineyards, near lakes or steps from the ocean. They often have on-premise restaurants, massage services and pools among their many amenities. There are several hotels in Paris, each with its own unique touch of elegance. Relais & Chateux is constantly adding new hotels to their chain, and many offer special packages such as gourmet getaways where you can experience the French art of cooking either as a patron in a fine restaurant or as a student at a culinary school. Romantic, spa and golf packages are also available.
