On Thursday16th May, I attended the presentation of the Légion d’honneur to Didier Boidin, Vice President Intercontinental-Western Europe by Mr. Sénateur Maire Jean-Claude Gaudin.

On this occasion, I had the opportunity to discover the new Intercontinental Hotel Marseille, which has been fully renovated from former hospital Hotel-Dieu into a luxury hotel of 196 rooms overlooking Notre-Dame de la Garde and the old port of Marseille.

A sophisticated contemporary decor, 2 restaurants and bars, several meeting rooms, a beautiful spa and a huge terrace facing the “Bonne mère” and the old port!

A new asset for Marseille, European Capital of Culture 2013!

Last week I went to Marrakech and Casablanca. I discovered recently opened hotels and those about to be inaugurated.

The Royal Mansour

At the invitation of its Director General, Jean-Pierre Chaumard, I visited the Royal Mansour which is probably one of the finest hostel in the world.
Consisting of 53 riads of one to three bedrooms, built as an authentic medina, 5 minutes from the famous Jamaa El Fna, this palace is absolutely beautiful! In addition, each customer deserve special attention from the 530 employees. The service is really unique!
For more information, I recommend their site: www.royalmansour.ma . For an unforgettable experience, you can contact me directly and benefit from special conditions. Although Marrakech have grown considerably, this destination is a magical place that I invite you to discover!

Pure Life Experience

During my stay, I also had the opportunity to visit the show Pure Life Experience, high-end tourism destinations, which takes place three years ago in Marrakech, created by my friend Serge Dive and Sarah Ball, his wife.
Over 350 carefully selected exhibitors among the most original destinations and hotels, and the most prestigious and competent providers.
