Odalys Residence Le Pre du Moulin, Briancon

Advantages: Food, atmosphere, staff, décor
Disadvantages: Smoking throughout

.... This is not to say that the courses were rushed. I know that on a number of occasions I have wished restaurants would be more like this (for example for a pre theatre meal) and I am sure some people would prefer the speedy service. We dined just before the main dinner time rush so maybe things slow down a bit then. They have a decent selection of wines costing between about £17 - £220 per bottle. Ours was £22 and complemented our meal beautifully. The meal itself was £27.50 per person. If you were to go you should expect to pay upwards of £40 per person if you are drinking wine. This appeared to be a similar price to other good French restaurants. I certainly feel that Café du Marche measures up favourably with other restaurants in this category. Nick and I were at Café du Marche for a romantic meal and the ambience served our purposes well... Read review

Advantages: Near the town center
Disadvantages: No tea or coffee in the room only the mini bar

...Not bad as hotels go but most diffinately not the best. The hotel is situated in a good position in Le Havre quite approx 10 mins walk from the railway station and easy to find. Close to the hotel is the town centre with plenty of shops. The hotel lobby is fairly small and in need of some update, the lobby aslo leads directly on to the bar area and to the restaurent. The staff at the hotel are helpful and pleasant and we had no problemsat check in. The rooms are small but clean with double bed, bathroom and small seating area and TV (very limited chanel choice ), Note that there are no tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms only the mini bar. The rooms could do with updating and are in slight need of re-decoration. The hotel bar is pleasant and the service was good, but the restaurant is too small and we... Read review

Advantages: Justly famous for scenic beauty
Disadvantages: So can be crowded in summer

...While you're visiting the Cévennes (see my recent review), you really should take a look at the nearby Gorges du Tarn. This advice will probably not come as a surprise to you, for the gorges of the upper Tarn river have long been renowned as among the most spectacular in Europe, but it is advice that should be followed all the same. * It is twenty-eight years since I first drove down the Tarn gorges. My wife and I were on our way to join some friends holidaying on the Mediterranean coast and decided to take a few extra days and a less direct route in order to see more of France on the way. We had heard of the gorges, but knew little about them. We were certainly unprepared for anything as dramatic as the winding canyon with its ever-changing perspectives and its precipitous slopes. From Florac in the north-east to Le Rozier... Read review
