If you want genuine home from home comfort then you should come here. The husband & wife team, Fabienne & Philippe were so friendly and helpful, they could not do enough for us. they asked if we wanted more pillows, and how we wanted breakfast. they brought us fresh fruit the 2nd day and just wanted to make sure we were happy. This isnt 5 * Mandarin Hotel comfort but it is genuine comfortable and clean B&B. 4 of the party stayed here for 3 weeks and felt very comfortable - it is incredibly close to the centre of Soissons, 10 min walk from the Cathedral square. It looks basic on tghe web site but is much better than that, especially with the care of the 2 lovely hosts.

Family friendly home from home French charm

Unexpected early day stop for an overnight tyre replacement meant I had to become a tourist in Soissons, a typical local town within the Paris hinterland. In common with French towns these days, the hotel chains locate just off the by-pass road intersections. More than adequate if you are making a stop. Not at all convenient if you wish/need to experience the town. M'sieur at the tyre depot told me that Le Rallye was near the centre and was clean and neat.

It is all that and more. Hotel Le Rallye is on  Boulevard de Strasbourg, just across the bridge of the River Aisne. Philippe and Fabienne run it with down to earth French charm. But actually make their living from their bar/tabac/presse attached. They are about 10 minutes stroll back to Centre Ville, in a quartier of the town known as Saint Waast. St W has the shops and services needed for day to day stuff and in itself is lively enough. 

Hotel reception is actually the bar. The locals were fascinated to observe a hot Brit at 10am be greeted by what turned out to be the delightful Fabienne. She was not at all disconcerted, and offered me Room 16. Right at the top, three storeys, but at the back and cool with a lovely big bathroom attached, huge bed and all the comforts. There are other rooms, many sharing a bathroom, but I had promised myself a treat. The key system works well, Fabienne reminding me to lock the hotel door, and that was it.

Pointed in the direction of Centre Ville, actually a delightful stroll along the Aisne, across the footbridge des Anglais and then straight into Cathedral square it turned out to be a fascinating day of exploration. The centre is about a square kilometre of the usual shops, cafes, restaurants and civic functions typical of a market town of 30 000. 

Back at 5 for a shower, a beer (or two) and a recommendation from Philippe to try the Assiette Gourmande (10 minutes stroll; the French do NOT tolerate drinking and driving) made it a very satisfactory evening. Followed by a sound night's sleep and an early start to be at the tyre depot for 0800. Other residents were two pairs of workmen, on a contract, and three separate French travellers. The French get on the road early, the bar was busy with the morning cafe/marc trade and the guests were not fussed over but left to get on with petit dejeuner. It was just right, including of course the making of a couple of baguette butties for the journey.

Town centre old fashioned hotels are dying in France but it is well worth the effort to see if you can find one. You know what you get, at a price, from the hotel chains but their restaurants are too often 'boil in the bag' and they are always set at (noisy) traffic interchanges. This hotel was far better value, with a proper ambience. Very much enjoyed.

Watching and listening to the birds settle down for the night and being aware of them getting on with the day next morning just does not happen at an Etap or Ibis or Mercure. I dropped lucky and the welcome (accueil) from Philippe and Fabienne was a bonus. Plus their beer is good value and the coffee is real!

Classic French provincial hotel and a lovely find

This place is located in an area with an industrial atmosphere, not very pleasant. In the morning the owner knocked our door and asked us to check out before posted check out time. By check out were were asked to pay for three people despite there were only two of us. The bathroom was rather dirty. We are certainly not coming back.
