6 Romantic Nights in France - help, please!

Apparently 'it's been confirmed' that I can claim an 'exclusive familiarisation holiday to Romantic France' - £20 admin costs. 4 nights in Normandy, two nights in Paris, luxury coach transport from a company called European Vacations Ltd.

I'd appreciate hearing compers' thoughts about this. :confused:

Thank you.

    The general consensus on the threads seems to be that if there is an admin charge then it's not really a win.

    Sounds to me like some sort of timeshare scheme.

    If it is like other ones, you will spend most of your break being shown different properties and bombarded to try and get you to sign up for something.

    I would make sure you thoroughly check it out before agreeing to go!

    It does seems like a good deal, but if you have to pay an "admin" fee, then as said above, it is not a prize, and generally offers like this sound too good to be true and usually turn out that way.

    I really hope it is genuine and that you manage to have a lovely romantic break, as Paris is beautiful.
