In late August 2008, the owners opened another restaurant, Bristrot et Chocolat, which, although I haven't tried it, looks fantastic. It's located on Rue de la Râpe, near the Cathédrale de Notre Dame.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20082 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20069
The owner is green and he wants his hotel to be the same. That's why organic food is served for breakfast, the water from the showers is recycled, the staff is trained to save detergent and water and so on...]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20069 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20051
Catered or self-catering, its covered. I went catered and everything was awesome. The guys will come out riding with you if they have time, so you get to ride some sweet spots you'd probably never find, they'll have everything sorted for you for when you arrive (lift pass, equipment etc) you get picked up and dropped off at the airport and to and from the slopes each day...

I honestly can't say anything bad about my time with them!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20051 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20046 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20046 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20028
The calligraphy signs are the proof of what the mankind has become, our ability to share and to connect to each others. From the ground floor to the top floor of the hotel, you go through the different eras of calligraphy and mankind until reaching the paradise (Add three letters to Paris, it makes Paradise).

They call themselves the first Poem Hotel. The basis of their thinking was the track man leaves by his intellectual work since the birth of the conscience of humanity.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20028 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20007
The swimming pool was large enough for everyone to enjoy, with lots of loungers for sunbathing.

The beautiful gardens featured a little stream, fish pond (safely fenced off), two boules strips, trampoline, football pitch, climbing frame, treehouse and space for the children to run around.

There is table tennis in one barn and a games rooom with darts, pool, table football and a range of bats, rackets, croquet, etc. that could be taken outside.

The bike shed held lots of bicycles ranging in size that could be used.

I would highly recommend this venue for a family holiday. The location is beautiful and there is so much here to keep the children entertained. We will definitely be going back.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20007 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19941 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19941 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19851 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19851 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19849 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19849 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19848 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19848 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19846 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19846 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19847 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19847 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19845 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19845 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19844 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19844 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19843 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19843 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19842 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19842
