 Petite Maison by LoriPori
The little cottage consisted of two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen and dining and sitting area with a fireplace. It had a great view of the sea and you could go on many walks through the area. And all for 300Euros per week which we shared. Nel made the arrangements so I don't know who to contact to rent it.

 Hotel Forte Travelodge by hopang
Breakfast is not included in the price and is charged separately. We don't recommend taking breakfast at the hotel. We checked in at 10.00 p.m. for overnight rest and checked out at 9.00 a.m. the following morning on our way to Paris from Brussels one summer approximately ten years ago.
Its location along the motorway between Brussels and Paris is its main advantage. Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: Located on the outskirts of Paris along the motorway between Brussels in Belgium and Paris in France.

 B&B in Caumont sur Durance by sim1
B&B at Caumont Sur Durance, close to Avignon. Price for a double room was 53 euro a night, breakfast included.
On the outside it might not seem much, but on the inside it was quite nice. The room was clean and nicely decorated with a private bathroom. But the best thing about this B&B were its owners. They were so very friendly and helpfull! Although they didn't speak much English, hahaha, and we didn't speak a lot of French, communicating didn't go that smooth, but somehow we did manage.
We were looking for a nice restaurant that evening and with the help of their daughter (who visited that afternoon and spoke good English) they reccommended a great little place. They even made the reservations for us and gave us directions to go there. It made our evening, we had a great dinner in this cosy restaurant.
In the morning we had a good breakfast outside on the terrace, with tea, french bread, croissants and jam. Mmmm, a good start the day! Don't expect much luxery here, but do prepare for a warm welcome!

 Bed and Breakfast in a
farmhouse at Petit Ségriès by sim1
I thought to be a 'real' VT-er for once and try to give some accommodation tips. Hahaha, of course I forgot again to take pictures of all the places I stayed, so I only will describe the three that I have pictures of.
The first one is a Bed and Breakfast in a farmhouse at Petit Ségriès, just outside the village of Moustiers-Sainte-Maire.It is ideally located when you are visiting the Gorges du Verdon. It is a farmhouse, but the rooms are totally re-decorated to make it suitable for a bed and breakfast. We had a room on the second floor, which seemed totally new on the inside. It has a separate entrance, Good beds, very nice and clean modern bathroom. The room was furnished a lot though. The room had no TV or radio, but I didn't see that as a problem. The B&B is a farmhouse, so ideal if you are looking for a very quiet place to stay.
If you want, you can have dinner with the owners and the other guests of the B&B. The costs are 14 euros per person; I didn't choose for this though and had dinner elsewhere.
The price for a double room was € 55, which included breakfast. Breakfast isn't that huge though, you can have some french bread, croissants, and all sorts of jam that are made with own produces of the farm. The owners are very friendly and I think this place is well worth the stay. Theme: Bed and BreakfastPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Petit SégrièsPhone: 04 92 74 68 83Directions: Petit Ségriès is a farmhouse not that far from Moustiers-Sainte-Maire. If you are coming from the Gorges du Verdon, just keep following this road for about 5-10 kilometres. The B&B is on a sideroad on the right side of the main road.Website: http://gite.petit.segries.free.fr/

 Hotel Bellevue in La
Ciotat by sim1
I found Hotel Bellevue in La Ciotat by driving around in this village. I tried to get accommodation in Cassis, a real tourist town on the coast, close to Marseille. But either everything was fully booked or terribly expensive, so I decided to give it a try in La Ciotat. This village is only a few kilometres down the road from Cassis and the prices for accommodations here are totally different.
Hotel Bellevue is not a luxury place, it is very very basic. But the location is great, right at the harbour of this little village, and the price was great as well! Only 35 euro for a double room per night instead of 100 euro in Cassis! Like I said, the rooms are very basic and small, so maybe not the best option for a long stay. But I only was here to sleep, so I didn't see much of the room anyway, lol. I was very happy to have found this place!
Breakfast is not included in the price. If I remember well that was 5 euro per person. I took breakfast here as it was convenient. The breakfast wasn't that much though, tea or coffee, orange juice and a croissant.

In France (and other European countries) is a large network of clean, comfortable, basic motel style accommodation for travellers. These are usually near the main roads and autoroutes.
The two main networks are those of "Hotel Formule Un", and the apparently similar "Hotel Premiere Classe". We used "Formule1" on numerous occasions, when we were travelling again the next day and just wanted a simple bed: it was ideal for the purpose.
The system is automated as far as possible – just enter your credit card in the ATM outside, make your booking, and receive a password. The password gains you entry to the building and also to your room, which is identical to all the other rooms in the system throughout France! The rooms sleep three, have a washbasin, TV and table, and that’s about it. The benefits are having a good rest with minimal fuss or cost. The downside is that it is quite impersonal, so you gain little appreciation of being in France.

 Hotel 1 in Honfleur by LoriPori |
When we proposed to linger in an area for several days, we stayed in the Chambre d?Hotes (bed and breakfasts). There is a huge range, in terms of cost, comfort and convenience. If you are driving past, look for a green and white sign outside saying Chambre d?Hote (often with some indication of the rating).
You can check what is available through the local tourist office (office de tourisme or syndicat d?initiative). Be careful though to check the location, as some can be quite inconveniently located.
The hosts were invariably friendly and welcoming: some spoke English, the others tolerantly worked at comprehending my curious French accent. It is part of the charter under which they operate that you receive some kind of local produce, so we were treated to a range of goodies on arrival. Some do not serve evening meals, but all produced excellent breakfasts. Theme: Bed and BreakfastPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Typically outside city centresDirections: Either spotted by chance when driving past, or found through tourist offices.
