The city centre for a first visit

Central accommodation makes walks and breaks between activities easier. Look at its location in relation to the château, quays and places you want to visit. Also consider slopes and stairways if you are travelling with a pushchair or have accessibility needs.

Choose to suit your group

As a couple, compare the bed type and room facilities. As a family, check actual capacity and sleeping arrangements. For a more independent stay, an apartment may be an option: check the facilities before booking rather than relying solely on the stated number of guests.

Check arrival and parking arrangements
