Choosing your holiday is important, but knowing where to stay is even more important. In France, we have the habit of going straight to hotel. In other European countries however, foreign holidaymakers attach a great importance to bed and breakfasts. The “gîtes de France” are a guarantee of quality of service and a renowned label.
