I am planning to leave for France this July. Any idea of accommodations in France? Though I have read some blogs and forums and have found that a hotel or a rental apartment can be a good option, I need some more ideas.

Forgot to add that when we decided to go via the Bilboa ferry it was because after last years trip we calculated the miles per gallon via French Autoroute speeds and the distance and time taken and the Autoroute Tolls

This worked out at in excess of £1500 return and 5 days of the holiday taken up
the Ferry is three days - 2 out and 1 back and because we booked direct it only cost £900 so unfortunately because I LOVE France we are giving it a miss this year

Chunnel booked for 31st July paid for once again with tesco points. 1st overnight stop at Vierzon south of Paris. 2nd overnight at Carcassone. Then 2 weeks on the Costa Brava at L'Escala. Big villa booked and both sons, partners and daughters arriving by plane to spend 12 days with us. Then motor home with 1st stop at Limoges and finally last night inside the old town at Boulogne.

Jobs a good 'un.

Well unfortunately we have been bowled a curve ball and won't be going abroad this year simply because my mother is terminally ill

We are still touring in the van but UK only so we can get home quickly

3rd holiday in France now on the cards! Well not really a holiday. A school's travel company is giving me and Mrs H a long weekend on the Cote D'Opal to show us the delights of the area should I choose to book a school trip with them. 3 days, 3 nights all found including transport across and while we are there. All we have to do is get ourselves to Kent.

Well we MAY be getting to travel through France around November/December time as Steph is going to have to have time off work as she has got to have a foot op so won't be able to work for 8 weeks
So a leisurely meander through on the road to Spain
