HotelHotels Unless you are travelling on a package holiday you will probably only stay in an overnight hotel to break up long journeys.  The exception is if you are staying in a major city such as Paris.  Therefore it is on City Hotels and Overnight Hotels that we focus here.

Convenient Overnight Hotels:

We have stayed in these hotels and can recommend them as convenient for overnight stops.  There are two groups:

1. Those useful for overnight stops between Calais and the Lot/Dordogne/South West.

2. Those useful for overnight stops along the A6 when heading to the Côte D'Azur or Provence.

Stopping in an Overnight Hotel:
If you are travelling a long distance in France it is well worth considering an overnight stop.  Driving whilst tired is highly dangerous and is a common cause of ruined holidays where a British visitor tries to reach the South of France in one go.  Select the Hotel Chain List for a list of all the major hotel chains offering conveniently located hotels / motels along the major routes throughout France.  In peak season and at weekends you are strongly advised to book ahead.

Paris Hotel Recommendations:

If you are planning a trip to Paris you will probably stay in a hotel.  We have limited experience of hotels in Paris.....the ones we have stayed in we list here....if you have any recommendations please send us feedback.
Some of the gite rental agencies have Paris apartments on their books if you prefer your independence!

City Hotels:
Other than in Paris, the only experience we have of staying in City Hotels is when we've been there on business.  However the following booking services should be able to help you (we have not used these personally, please give us your feedback).
