Ok, so this isn’t Paris…but I can’t keep this to myself. Hotel de Crillon le Brave is a gorgeous little hotel in Provence, near the Luberon and with a view of Mont Ventoux, and a member of the very prestigious “Relais & Chateaux”. I’ve been there many times, led a cooking trip there once, and can’t say enough about it: the rooms are breathtaking and huge, the cuisine if out of this world, the views are unbelievable…it’s even listed as one of the places you should go before you die!
With the poor exchange rate, the hotel is making a fabulous offer:

Every year we like to offer an extra incentive for our past guests and readers of l’accent d’ici to make the trip to Crillon and enjoy the Autumn season that we think is so special. This year we’re offering a straight Dollars-for-Euros exchange as encouragement for our American and Canadian friends to join us anytime between October 15th and November 30th. Make your booking in Euros, pay in Dollars. It’s that simple. To take advantage of this offer we simply ask that you book directly with our Reservations staff. You can reach them by email or by calling +33 4 90 65 61 61.

If your plans bring you to southern France, I can’t urge you enough to take advantage of this offer, it’s pretty incredible for a place like this.
