August in France is a peculiar thing. Parisians are all in the south and thus, Paris is actually one big fanny-pack trap full o' tourists.

So why not go somewhere safe like somewhere in the middle of France. Somwhere like Lyon.The French people will still be there and so you'll still see the real deal. A bourgeois city is mixed with a University set of youth making hauty life and partying until dawn both possible.

Hotel Villa Florentine is one of the top rated hotels in Lyon, a division of Relais & Chateaux. They pull off old and new the way it should be done in France: period furniture and internet access all in one happy room.

According to a reviewer, the hotel is...immaculate:

It is utterly delightful in every respect. It occupies a lovely position [not as far up the hill as we had thought, but far enough to give lovely views, especially from the swimming pool terrace]. The interior is immaculate. Our room, number 1, with a very spacious terrace, was just lovely, very spacious and completely immaculate

Two immaculates in one short description. We think it's safe to say this place is clean. The restaurant is highly esteemed and you'll never believe how the breakfast was described. If you guessed immaculate, you're right! The surprising part is, it was from a separate review. Perhaps, they should consider a name change at this point.
