Gidday,

We are off to France next week, visiting Paris, Amiens, then down through the Loire Valley, down to Bordeaux, then Toulouse, bit of the coast, then back up to Paris. I know a lot of Brits holiday in France, and I’d be interested if anyone knows more about B&B holidaying in France, for non-French speakers. I suppose B&Bs inherently have more of an issue with language, and my French won’t cut it, beyond what I have in my phone App. So, any help all gratefully accepted. 

Regards

Tony Renshaw

P.S. If there is anyone else with a Europa other than Remi, who I am in contact with, I’d love to have a chat.

Hello Tony,

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  If you are looking at really excellent accommodation at realistic pricesÂ in northwest France, you will not be able to beat Chris & Pat in Brittany.Â  I've forwarded your info to them.Â  You'll get great humour good accommodation and a guide to the area.

 



Best of luck Tony.

Jim Kelly

Tony, Have a look at www.booking.com  it lists available 

beds in any place you put in stretching from 5* hotels to 

B&Bs, very often at discounted prices. The rating scores 

are entirely reliable in my experience. Most hotels in 

France nowadays cope well in English, and I would suspect 

B&Bs would also. For our Europa trips round France & other 

European countries we rely totally on booking.com. We get 

up in the morning , check weather, decide on a 

destination, fix a hotel via booking.com & go. Works 

perfectly every time. Put in a town or village at random 

and check out availability for tomorrow and you will see 

how it works. A pity you are going to be there a bit ahead 

of the Club LSOW trip or we might have met up and flown 

you around a bit. Happy to tell you some of my favourite 

placesif you want to contact me off net.

Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

Tony,



We've used Gites de France  http://en.gites-de-france.com/ for decades I think it is pretty much the only national source of B&Bs- I can't promise spoken English everywhere ( although almost invariably better than my French...) the website is getting better but it can be hard work to pin down locations- it was always thus since it was a French-only paperback publication! Worth the effort though, we've styed in some wonderful out-of-the-way places we would not have found unaided. Had some memorable meals booking the table d'hote at the B&Bs -often more like a family dinner party, but I used it to improve my French which may or may not suit you!

With random fly-ins I've also found the local Syndicat d'initiative (tourist offices) really helpful and have never failed to find me somewhere good.

Enjoy!



Bill & Sue
