Mr & Mrs Smith "Hotel Jardin Secrets is an otherworldly hideaway fittingly secluded on a side street in Nîmes, a southern French city scattered with Roman ruins." Full review
Afar Magazine "This boutique hotel in Nîmes is a tranquil oasis, secluded and yet set in the heart of the town."

"On the edge of Carcassonne's medieval fortified citadel, the mid-range Hotel du Pont Vieux is a friendly, family-run property offering a good value for tourists wanting to be near sights." Full review
Lonely Planet "This vintage hotel is a compromise between old and new towns – it's a short walk to both. Rooms are on the small side and some are a little dark, but they're attractively decorated." Full review
Frommer's "It occupies an 18th-century building which has the advantage of a large courtyard, an internal garden, and a terrace which gives panoramic views of the citadel. " Full review
