Geneva benefits from a natural setting which lends itself to all kinds of escapades and water sports, and the city is also lots of fun!

» Mama Shelter (Paris): a cross between boutique hotel and upmarket youth hostel, Mama Shelter is located in a peripheral Parisian neighbourhood, not far from the Boulevard Périphérique.
WEEKEND IDEAS
