I don't speak French other than Hello and Thanks. The staff were very friendly, helpful and spoke various degrees of English. We made it work. The hotel room is small, but anyone doing regular travels in Europe is used to this. Oddity about my room is the positioning of the toilet. I had to sit sideways to use it. Very nice room other than that. Cleaned daily. We only had the breakfast there once. It was ok. We chose to hit the grocery store and bakeries after that for croissants, Nutella, jam, salami etc.. There are only 5 spots off street for hotel guest use. If you're not in one of those then you have to park in a pay spot and use a street side kiosk. I was only able to use "hotel" parking two nights. The hotel is situated very near the older part of town and we easily walked there numerous times. I really liked the town and the hotel. I would very readily recommend both.
