Enjoy a breezy vacation along the varied coastline of France
December 24, 2009
French coastal hotels offer the perfect relaxing getaway for a lazy weekend or longer.
France may have magnificent cities and charming villages, all unique. But the beaches and coastal ares of France offer just as much beauty, history and variety for travellers. There are the storied beaches of Normandy, with their cliffs and echoes of World War II heroism. The glamorous beaches of St. Tropez. The rugged, rocky shores of Brittany. Tourists who want a different sort of European vacation should consider a relaxing holiday in France, staying along the coast and enjoying an invigorating, secluded or star-studded seaside holiday in France.
One site gives travellers a wealth of choices for that lazy weekend in France at the beach you’ve been yearning for. Inter Hotel, in business since 1967, is a network of 271 independent two- and three-star hotels all over France.
Already reasonably priced, Inter-Hotels offer additional discounts for early booking and various hotels in the network offer special promotions which can be searched on the site. You can plan several different vacations from a weekend in a French hotel by the sea to much longer stays, perhaps using several hotels in the network, all along the coastline of France.

Spa vacations in France offer a stress-less escape
December 24, 2009
Travelers seeking a more zen type of vacation in France can find their nirvana at Inter-Hotels
Many tourists visiting France love to cover as much ground as possible. They are easily spotted, guide book in one hand and camera in the other. And who could blame them , with all that there is to see and experience in France? But for other travelers, a relaxing holiday in France is all about rest, renewal, recharging. For them, France is best experienced after a relaxing sea algae treatment and massage, gazing out to sea from their lounge chair, sipping mineral water from a nearby spring, with absolutely nothing on the itinerary for the rest of the day at their French hotel with pool and sauna except an excellent dinner.
As a matter of fact, France is the ideal destination for a spa vacation. While a relatively new trend in the US, spa hotels in France are a long-established tradition, especially with so many world-famous famous natural spa sites. Whole towns and tourist destinations have sprung up around these sources, one of which is simply the ocean. Thalassotherapy (treatments based on sea water) is just one popular French beauty and stress-reduction “secret” that people in France have known about and enjoyed for years as part of trips to their beautiful coast.
One French hotel website gives spa and fitness addicts the inside track on spa hotels in France. Inter Hotel is a network of 271 independent two- and three-star hotels all over France, all different, distinct and authentic to their regions, yet all upholding quality standards that membership demands.

For those who want a truly relaxing holiday in France or for more active types whose ideal getaway is a fitness weekend in France, Inter-Hotel’s website is a great place to begin your search for nirvana, your perfect French spa hotel.
For example, Inter-Hotel Lou Paradou in Provence is located in the heart of a small spa village, only steps away from natural hot springs, with such rejuvinating onsite amenities as a beautiful heated swimming pool. The owners suggest many packages for both spa and sports enthusiasts If you do feel up to venturing out for a bit of leisurely sightseeing, Aix-en-Provence and other local sights are only a short drive.
Or try Inter-Hotel de La Place in the heart of world-famous Vichy, where you can choose from an assortment of spa treatments a la carte or enjoy nearby golf or a lazy day by the lake.
Within the Inter-Hotel network, travelers can stay all over France and be assured of consisent quality everywhere they stay, yet without the boring cookie-cutter sameness or coldness of a chain hotel.
Wherever you choose to spend your holiday in France, all hotels in the Inter-Hotel network adhere to rigorous standards of service, cleanliness, AND regional authenticity. So your French hotel with pool and sauna also comes with other sources of relaxation and warmth: the hospitality of your hosts and the comfort and tranquility of your surroundings.
A spa vacation sounds luxurious. But it doesn’t have to be expensive. The website makes it easy to shop and search for the best hotel offers in France from among the network’s hundreds of member hotels. And to give you even more reason to look forward to your well-deserved vacation, whether it is a fitness weekend in France or a more relaxing holiday in France, many hotels in the Inter-Hotel network offer a discount of 15% to guests who book their rooms more than 45 days in advance.

Business meets pleasure at hotel with stellar meeting facilities in Paris
December 21, 2009
A spectacular yet practical venue in the City of Light makes corporate events shine
In these days of tele-commuting, webinars and electronic meetings to save travel expenses and time, there are still occasions where in-person corporate meetings and events must be planned. But now there is a sense that they have to be really special to be worth the trip. So meeting planners must get creative and look for a unique yet practical venue for their company’s next seminar, off-site retreat or convention. It should have adequate space to accomodate their group and the latest technical facilities, but not look like a cold, boring auditorium. Ideally, it should have good hotel accomodations on site to promote team building and avoid time wasted in getting to the venue. And if it’s really perfect, it should be in a location that attendees will actually feel motivated to go to. Well, relax, you’ve found it: a convention centre and Four star hotel in Paris, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. The Novotel Paris Eiffel Tower’s Convention Centre offers perhaps the perfect meeting space in one of the world’s most perfect locations.
Unlike some hotels that add meeting spaces and seminar rooms almost as an afterthought, the Novotel Paris Eiffel Tower has thought in advance of everything to make virtually any size meeting or seminar or large coroporate event a brilliant and flawless success. If you are looking for a convention centre or a meeting room in Paris, for a small or large group, you are sure to find what you need here.
The convention centre features 2200 square meters of modular space spanning two floors, all of it equipped with the latest multimedia capabilities sure to aid in convention planning and to wow the most jaded conventioneers. And since the space can be kept 100% private, meeting organizers can be sure to have total control over this amazing environment.
The Eiffel Room is the crowning glory of this convention planning Mecca. Its 1200 square metres has a 600-seat ampitheatre, 17 adjunct meeting rooms, an office for the meeting organizers, a club and private living rooms for more intimate discussions among participants. The Seine room boasts 670 square metres of fully modulars space perfect for seminars and catered receptions. All in all the hotel offers 29 separate meeting rooms in Paris in various configurations, able to accomodate small groups all the way up to 600 people. Most of these have natural light, so attendees don’t feel fatigued or ”stuck in a meeting”.
There is also a vertiable army of convention planning staff at the disposal of those organizing events that the hotel. They arrange for decor, sound and light, IT services, flowers, security, catering and everything that a meeting organizer could possibly want. This comprehensive support provided by the convention centre leaves companies free to focus on the goals of their meetings, rather than petty logistics and details.
Of course, your participants have to eat. And this is another area where the Novotel Paris Eiffel Tower shines. It is a true Paris hotel-restaurant. So your attendees will be served none of the conventional mass-prepared “chicken or beef” you find at most corporate events — the hotel and convention centre has a magnificent kitchen run by a renowned French chef, and meals and snacks prepared for your attendees rival what they would find at the best restaurants in Paris. A fitting reward for a hard day’s work of listening to lectures or networking with colleagues.
Speaking of restaurants, the hotel boasts two wonderful ones that your meeting participants can enjoy in their spare time. The French restaurant, L’Envie, is top-notch, as is Benkay, a Japanese treasure beloved of food critics that mixes traditional Japanese preparation with modern twists anda Zen atmosphere that will make you forget you are in one of the world’s busiest cities. Both restaurants have amazing ambience and views. And the classy Seine bar is a favorite hangout and deal-making scene for business people. This is one Paris hotel-restaurant that offers business travellers both a lot of choice and high quality.
Lest a reader believe that the Novotel Paris Eiffel Tower is all business and no pleasure, think again. This is a true Four star hotel in Paris, with recently redesigned rooms and suites at the cutting edge of innovation in hotel accomodation. Discreet, 24/7 service brings guests everything they could desire, while a pool with a view plus a fitness center offers rejuvenation and relaxation far above the streets of Paris. A full-service spa is in the works.
The hotel enjoys a prime and convenient location in one of the world’s premier destinations. It is only 18 km from Orly airport and 30 km from Roissy Charles de Gaulle. Getting around Paris once you arrive is simple, with a taxi station right in front of the hotel and two Paris metro lines nearby: line 10 metro station Charles Michel, line 6 metro station Bir Hakeim – RER C station Javel. Of course, participants don’t have to take any kind of transportation to enjoy one of the world’s most famous tourist sights right at their doorstep: The Eiffel Tower and the Champs de Mars. Originally built for another great gathering, the Universal Expo of 1889, the Tower is a fitting neighbor for the Novotel Paris Eiffel Tower Convention Centre, a site of today’s most spectacular meetings.
