Our holiday in Pernes was terrific, and I highly recommend this rental house in Provence. Thanks for your help. We had a great holiday. J. Stewart. Vancouver. July 2009

We really had a terrific holiday! The rental house in Pernes was perfect for us - fits 2 families extremely well. It is beautiful (we loved the kitchen and outside patio area), and the air conditioning in the upper 2 bedrooms. The girls spent many hours in the swimming pool. The owner was really helpful with recommendations on villages and markets to visit. She even made dinner reservations for us and invited us for drinks. The hotel you arranged for us in Nice was in a great location and the 2 adjoining rooms worked well for us. Thanks for making all of our travel arrangements so easy: TGV tickets, car rental, museum passes, etc. I have already told several friends about France Bound. Cheryl Khanna. Vancouver July 2009.

We had a wonderful time at Maison Pernes and a fabulous vacation in France. The house in Pernes worked out beautifully for the 8 of us. What made our stay there especially great was the delightful owner, who is a gem! She frequently popped by to chat over a glass of wine and we truly enjoyed her company. The house was well-located and well equipped, and we put a lot of kilometers on the car exploring the neighbouring towns. Our favorites were Gordes, Les Baux, St. Remy and Isle Sur La Sorgue. Although the pool was small, the kids had a ball in it and spent many happy hours there. We had the most wonderful time and want to thank France Bound for arranging such a great trip. T & D. Christopher. Vancouver July 2008.

We had a wonderful time in Provence, although the weather did not cooperate, but everything else was great. The village house in Provence was delightful, and the train and car reservations were perfect. Kerry McKeen at France Bound was extremely helpful in getting everything organized for our 3 week trip to France in May. We had been trying to do everything on our own via the internet, but after spending weeks spinning our wheels, Kerry was able to book our Provence accommodations, train tickets and car rentals in no time. Everything exceeded our expectations and we will definitely consult with Kerry for future travel plans. We would not hesitate to recommend her to our family and friends. The Vincent family, Victoria, B.C. June 2008. |
