Information about Bed and Breakfast and Self catering in France – Day-tripper.net the web magazine for visitors to France.
Stay in a family home in France by doing bed and breakfast or try self catering.
Private Accommodation often lets you enjoy the true flavour of the region in which you are staying. Chambre d'hte or "Chambres chez l'habitant" (B and B's) – this normally means private houses with fewer than 6 bedrooms, most operating under the Gites de France label. Gites are self catering holiday homes.
Where the establishments are specifically listed as "Chambres d'hôtes" we have listed them separately.

"A bit of a detour, although easy enough to find, Maison Francis is well worth it. A 16th Century farm building made from chalk bricks, it oozes charm. Getting to and from Montreuil (for the restaurants) was easy. Well worth staying in if you are having a short break in this area."
