We were here for the Tour de France and Basecamp was our go-to for the few days we vacationed in the French countryside. This cute coffee shop is located in Talloires. They are also a wonderful bike shop! The coffee is delightful but it was the scenery and ambiance that just take your breath away. The owners and workers are the nicest. We loved this cafe so much we bought shirts. :)

This is an excellent hotel that is not near the city center but provides all of the amenities you'd…read moreexpect from a top-notch place. This is likely a result of the clientèle they regularly serve. The United Nations offices, Red Cross and WHO are very close by, so there are large numbers of dignitaries staying in the hotel on a regular basis. This also means a very secure environment that caters to people of varying nationalities. The TV channel selection, for example, reflects this. Be sure to visit the hallway with photos of some of the well-known people who've stayed at the hotel, which was first opened in 1964. We certainly had one of the lower end rooms, facing west toward some local housing (and a co-op) vs. overlooking Lake Geneva in the distance. Incidentally, the co-op has some decent ready-to-eat food selections... so if you don't want a sit-down meal, it might be a good place to visit. Other than the hotel restaurant, there are only a few good places to eat within easy walking distance of the hotel. Our room was spacious by European standards, and there was beautiful lighting, extra seating, and desk space. A room safe and minibar are part of the package. The king bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was well appointed, with an expansive deep bathtub and wonderful large bath towels. The toiletries were a rather exclusive brand and had a great unisex scent. We only had breakfast in the restaurant, but it, too, was outstanding. Both buffet and menu selections were available. Servers were competent and sincerely nice. We especially enjoyed our interactions with Sarah. The hostess was wonderful as well. This hotel had many amenities that we didn't use, like a pool and sauna. Be sure to look these up ahead of time so you bring what you need.

They offered to schedule a walking tour which I already scheduled with another on trip advisor and the river cruise boat tour for the next day. I used the card for transportation to the Basilica Fourviere on the hill taking the Funicular both ways. I tried to go to the Miniature Museum by it was only half price. Another museum only offered a small discount. I did not go to any other museums because I didn't see any while walking around. I did take the river cruise. So overall it wasn't worth purchasing.

The staff were all very friendly and patient with the non-french speakers in the group. A lovely Hotel, very big and fairly easy to get lost in. The food/buffets were of an exceptional standard. The rooms were very cosy and naturally had amazing views of the ski slopes. They had animal head as lights stands and very brightly painted rooms. This hotel has a lovely gym, sauna and spa area. There is also a pool which goes into the outdoors, which brings some nice scenery whilst swimming. There are other activities to do if you are not a keen skiier, for example shopping, gym, spa's, go to cafe's. The bar area was also very lively and a great place to unwind after a hard day out on the slopes. Also a fantastic chance to meet fellow skiiers. I am not a natural skiier and I found this very accommodating and situated on the main transport links into Chamonix town. The hotel was a bus ride away from Geneve Airport. There may be nearer routes but this was the one we chose.

Creating food on a mass scale is very difficulty, the workers are awesome in the dining room, and work hard but the amount of food they have to put out is too much volume to be at any kind of quality. The worst is the ski instructors. We were misinformed. Don't believe that you will get a "Ski tour Guide" Rather you get a mothergoose style ski instructor who screams at you if you do not do exactly what he/she expects. The rudeness and non communicative style is terrible. I am American, do not speak french, and therefore was not able to ski alone in fear of getting lost without local language skills. I did not want to get myself in a situation where I couldn't find my way back, or take the wrong lift. I am a low end intermediate skier who enjoys Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire and the American West, so have a lot of experience. However, because I am not a black Diamond skier they put me in the "baby class" It was so incredibly boring. It was also dangerous. Because they want to teach "mother-goose style" we were constantly at risk of being skied into. AND that's exactly what happened-- repeatedly! I finally said, I am not going to stand in the middle of the mountain waiting for your permission to move, I will see you at the bottom (which wasn't far at all). I got screamed at! Madame, stay where I tell you to stay!. My friend broke her ACL because someone skied into her. So much for their instruction! Old school instruction, ridiculous experience. Spent a lot of money to get there, flew from NY to Geneva and didn't enjoy myself. Couldn't wait to get back to the East Coast and ski with respectful people. My advice: If you visit Chomonix, do not go to Club Med, stay at a local place, hire a tour guide daily to take you at your level, eat in town and enjoy. Although friends of mine (I was in a CT ski club tour) went out for dinner and waited to be waited on (in a line); the counter woman ignored them, they politely asked to be waited on and she screamed, WHAT NO BONJOUR, NO HELLO, GET OUT!! OMG, really! Do they not have hospitality classes for the French? It is exactly as you have heard all these years, sadly to report but true, the French seem to be snobs. Probably best to go to the Italian Alps or the Swiss Alps. Wherever you go, don't go to club med in Chomonix for skiing.

My son (2) loved the games room and we wished we had time to use the pool too. The ice rink was fabulous too. The little on site shop was well stocked and reasonable-and on our first night arranged a fondue for us to have in our room. As others have said, a bar would be nice-but wasn't essential for us. The staff really made our stay enjoyable-and were so helpful when there was an accident in the train tunnel and we were stuck on the other side! We would stay again.
