Our club rented bikes for our trip to Provence from this shop. They were completely on top of it…read more We were in and out fairly quickly even though there were 8 of us in the group. The rental bikes were very well maintained and they did adjustments as needed. Also swapped out parts as some of us bought our own saddles and computer mounts. The bikes came with saddle bags and tubes. He also gave us air cartridges and would only charge us if we used them. Great selection of bottles, clothes, helmets and shoes too. Super friendly and accommodating especially because we didn't know much French. Highly recommended!!!

Same-day turnaround, well stocked store…read more I had a problem with my dynamo wires on my bike - a very specific issue. They were the only shop I visited in the region who said they would repair it. They said, "come back tomorrow and we'll have the part and do it then". I was also able to purchase rim tape, of which there was a selection of several widths. Oddly enough, other shops did not sell rolls.... I came back "tomorrow" and got that repair done, plus an overhaul of another wheel, for a very reasonable price. In actuality, there was another problem with the wheel that they could not fix, and tried to give me a full refund, but I insisted the mechanic keep some because there was still work done. The last star is missing because both times I walked in with my bikes and was told, "no we can't help you" but then turned and talked to the mechanics who told me they could help me. Definitely need to educate those sales staff better!

If you are looking for an unforgettable lifetime experience, I highly recommend Canoe Collias…read more It's easy to make an online reservation, and there are no hidden fees or hassle. They have free parking in a lot just above their location. After a quick check-in, there is someone there to outfit you with a paddle and lifejacket. They carry the boat for you, and help you safely launch. There is a waterproof container to place your valuables, and that fits nicely on the back of your boat. It's a class 1 rapid, so there are some fun parts where the water moves quickly, but it's essentially not dangerous. Some people brought along picnic food, because there are places you can easily stop and enjoy the moment. You can proceed at your own pace, and the shuttle arrives at the top of each hour to return you to your car. Most importantly, you will be paddling underneath one the most amazingly preserved treasures of Roman Architecture, the Pont du Gard, an aqueduct/bridge that was finished in 60 AD. This should be a memorable life experience for you. While there are other rental shops available, this one is well organized, perfectly situated and fun.

With its beautiful courtyard, country style Southern French style decor with a modern bathroom, it was within walking distance to the museums, restaurants, shopping, & pretty much every where. It's an off season that the hotel staff upgrades to a suite with a balcony. Friendly staff, nice cocktails in the bar, quiet, comfortable beds ... it was just nice. It would have been a 5 stars if they had provided the water everyday & the coffee machine worked better ; otherwise, it would be a great choice as compared with other modern hotel to experience a Southern French way. Recommend.

And it's near the walled gate so a short and easy walk from the buses.also instant coffee available on the rooms- thank you

What makes this hotel shine is its location, immediately adjacent to the Pope's Palace and a sterling front desk operator named, Stephanie. She's a whiz, so friendly and helpful.

If you are going to Provence by train your choices are Avignon or Aix; I prefer the new station in…read moreAvignon -- its modern, easy to get to and simple to navigate. Two platforms that's it. The only miss is the concession stands, mediocre for French standards, but I guess when trains run on time its not like you are stuck in a station waiting for hours.

Alice and her husband chef Bernard have created an oasis just outside Saint Remy. It's a totally beautiful place - garden, art gallery, restaurant, with touches of great detail and care. Nothing has been overlooked, all blend into a perfect evening of dining. On arrival you are shown to either the lower patio or garden for aperitifs. You'll already feel relaxed and happy. Alice brings out her menu book - she has lovingly hand-written every menu for each day - and describes each dish. The menu is short - as it should be - and includes local ingredients, including things from their garden. Their wine expert helps you plan your evening wines. Again, a short list of terrific wines, most available by the glass. We had 3 or 4 flights, beginning with Champagne and ending with a Cote de Beaune with the cheese course. By the way, Alice and the waitstaff all speak perfect English, except for one young lady, who was so sweet you were almost glad she didn't. Delicious and interesting amuses were brought out with out Champagne, and your contentment level goes up another notch. For dinner you move to the upper patio or garden, just outside the gallery room. It's truly lovely - the art gallery begins to glow around sunset. Everything is of a piece - the teardrop (or artist's palette) shaped tables, the china, the candelabras, the table hangers for the ladies' handbags. We were dressed up a bit, but the locals were very casual. Food was uniformly delicious, langoustine entree, tuna and John Dory mains, dessert and cheese course. The tuna was impeccable - beautiful presentation, accompanied by local garden ingredients like baby wild asparagus and baby radishes, perfectly cooked. Service was gracious yet casual. I hope Alice and Bernard are still providing a beautiful experience. It was for us.

The husband and wife proprietors of Mas l'amarine were surprisingly young and yet executed flawlessly! She was the front person and just delightful. He was the chef and was concerned and accommodating to our individual dietary needs. The decor is very modern in an chateau setting, which for us and our friends was a fun departure from the usual Provençal experience. The kitchen was apparently open by European standards but not at all by American standards...in fact couldn't see it from the dining room. I mention only because apparently some old school patrons have been put off by the decor and close kitchen arrangements. In my opinion you would be missing out on an exceptional meal by judging by those narrow standards. The presentation of the food was beautiful and our table ordered each entree option. The lamb with smokey herbs was truly memorable. The venison was amazing and both the sea bass and red snapper were exceptional. The fresh seasonal mushroom starter was exceptional as well. The desserts didn't disappoint either!! Can you tell that we were delighted by everything?? Anyhow, point is, if you are in the area, it is a MUST visit if you want a great foodie experience. Again, it is NOT quintessential Provençal food or interior design...but that should be a draw not a distraction!! Enjoy!!!
