Hi,

I´m just back from a small trip to Provence.

When I planned the trip it was mostly between Provence and Paris. I got some "guidelines" by my company, especially I should book as few hotels as possible (big problem) especially no one night stays. OK, in the end I booked:

6 nights at Domain de Manville, Les Baux de Provence
3 nights at Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat, a Four Seasons Hotel
2 nights at Intercontinental Marseille.

She also wished to experience some authentic Frensh food, so no probelm. I booked some "typical" Frensh starred restaurants

Le Pertit Nice, Marseille
Alexandre, Nimes
Le Vivier, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
Fanny Rey, Saint Remy de Provence
Joel Robouchon, Monte Carlo
Mirazur, Menton
Alain Ducasse, Monte Carlo
Alcyone, Marseille
Une table, au sud, Marseille

So overall a few stars, first reader who tells me how many gets an assiduity card.

Flights were booked with Eurowings inbound (direct) and Lufthansa outbound (via FRA) as the Eurowings.flight was early in the morning. No BEST-fare was offered on Germanwings-flight, Lufthansa-J was nearly 4xthe price and 180 € as a paid upgrade per person without extended laguage.
