The upgraded hotels were all good. I'm glad I had used the app before, as it would have been quite daunting with no one from the company to send us off. Enjoyed having 2 days at Arles and the hotel at Uzes was excellent. We dropped into a bike specialist shop to fix Jeff's handlebars.

A wonderful and well-organised trip, the app was very helpful, the bikes were great (although a little heavy) and the hotel choices were always in the older part of town and were individually stylish.
