Perhaps the world's ultimate romantic vacation getaway is France. Hotel guides suggest these exclusive destinations as some of the country's best.

Romantic Vacation Getaway in Paris
For a romantic vacation getaway in Paris, consider a stay in the Historical Marais district, location of the Pavillon de la Reine, one of the most luxury accommodations in France. The 15th-century hotel is located near the lively Place de la Bastille, the picturesque Jewish quarter and the shops rue des Francs-Bourgeois. The Hotel Le Tourville, another luxury Parisian hotel is located just between the Dome of the Invalides, the gardens of the Rodin Museum and the Eiffel Tower. Some of the rooms have private terraces where guests can have breakfast, afternoon tea or a pre-dinner drink. With its personalized and quietly efficient service, the hotel guarantees a "home away from home" atmosphere.

Best France Spa DestinationsFor a France spa experience, a visit to the Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa in Bordeaux is a treat. It's located just next to the Sources de Caudalie hotel-restaurant in the middle of the Château Smith Haut Lafitte vineyards. Treatments include baths, massages, water jet showers and special wraps. But a France spa experience wouldn't be complete without a stop in Vichy. About 250 miles south of Paris on the Allier River, Vichy has six natural springs that have been attracting people for thousands of years. The Halle des Sources houses four of Vichy's six springs where visitors can either observe the water bubbling up or actually sample it from drinking fountains. Three spas operate in Vichy: The Thermes les Domes, Thermes Callou and The Celestins, where guests are evaluated by a thermalist and then attend the recommended sessions, which can include everything from the "Bubbly Bath" (a tub with more than 150 tiny jets) to a "Vichy Shower," a 15-minute full body rub by two massage therapists under a four-headed shower of warm mineral water.

France Hotel Guides to Bordeaux
Some of the world's best wine is produced in the Bordeaux region of France. Wine tours are plentiful, as are luxury accommodations. The Maison Bord'eaux, in the heart of Bordeaux, is decorated in a contemporary style that's extremely comfortable. In Gascony, halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse in South West of France, Chateau de Lassalle offers guests 17 rooms with all the charm of an 18th century residence at the heart of a large farm. The chateau has an outdoor pool in the gardens overlooking the valley. Hotel Chateau De Mirambeau lies in the heart of Charente-Maritime, between Cognac and Bordeaux. A large part of the chateau's architecture dates back to the 17th century, while some areas date back to the 12th century.
