Need a change of scenery and an extraordinary holiday ? Then fly off to Northern California. Bordered by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, the city of the same name offers an enigmatic and bewitching panorama. While you will soon be surprised by the thick, motionless fog stretching to infinity, that is nothing compared to the Cable Cars, the legendary Golden Gate and the Victorian houses.

Stay in a hotel in San Francisco and discover everything that makes this timeless city so famous. While Alcatraz Island with its former prison will send a shiver down many a spine, the Transamerica Pyramid, the tallest skyscraper downtown, will make you look up to the sky.

The Fog City is waiting for you to reveal its mysteries and legends.

Your hotel in San Francisco

Bordered by the bay that bears its name, San Francisco has rightly been nicknamed The City by the Bay. The beauty of the natural landscape surrounding it gives it a very special atmosphere, somewhere between unusual places and high technology.

Every neighbourhood of San Francisco will charm you, from North Beach to Union Square, by way of Japantown. Ballets, operas, symphony concerts or foghorns are sure to pique your curiosity. The city has also preserved traces of its history with the hippies of the Summer of Love and the writers of the Beat Generation : contrasting, varied, bucolic or ultra-modern. The adjectives describing San Francisco are countless.

During your stay in a hotel in San Francisco, start by heading to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, to be crossed on foot, by car or by bike, as you prefer. The bridge over the bay remains a must and offers a unique experience. The ferry will then take you to Alcatraz Island for a glimpse of the former federal penitentiary. Continue with a stroll along Fisherman's Wharf, where the attractions and restaurants are varied enough to satisfy every craving. Picnic lovers can have lunch at Alamo Square for an incredible view of the "Painted Ladies", a row of brightly coloured Victorian houses.

Finally, the streets of San Francisco are full of wonders and other works of public art. Wander through various neighbourhoods, explore the murals of Balmy Alley, admire the work "The Language of Birds" with its 23 "suspended" books, or "Soma" on the waterfront. And don't miss San Francisco by night to see the bridge lit up by the "Bay Lights", which is simply enchanting.

Finish with Golden Gate Park and its 411 hectares of greenery. The green lung of the city, this park offers many attractions and is home to the de Young Museum, for art and history enthusiasts.
