“Jean Marc , place in Luang Probang is a gem of a place , older style colonial building from the French period in Loas , mixed with traditional Laos style , , the building is one of those places you will remember for its architecture . The stay was wonderful and the hosts staff were great, everyday they were so helpful , Luang Prabang is a place that has so much charm , full of Buddhist temples and restaurants , the Mekong river runs through Luang and taking a day trip on the river was very rewarding , a full day of sight seeing , highly recommend to take a boat for the day, Any way overall Jean Marc home is a hidden gem , and his home full of antique Buddas and also his paintings ,as he is also an artist , we rate our experience 5 stars , Robert Davidson and Tong Laiying ”

Jean-Marc's reviews
As a host (2)“I really enjoy my stay at Jean-Marc’s home. It’s a unique, peaceful mansion set in the center of the UNESCO-protected historical city of Luang Prabang. The house is fully staffed, spacious and tastefully decorated with Jean-Marc's paintings and ancient Buddha statues. With its private lush tropical garden and lotus pond, it’s a perfect escape for anyone who relish hedonistic surroundings. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Excellent service! I gladly recommend this mansion to all who want to indulge in a truly relaxing holiday experience.”
