Hotels
 

OK, some hotel ideas here. Trying to keep the room cost to below €50/night, which is quite cheap when there is 2 of you sharing. All do breakfast (which is usually about €5). URLs are provided, I would like to book the hotel by end of January latest, so we can all get in.

This one is just outside of the main town, but looks like it could be OK

Personally, I like the look of this one... Centre of town, has a car park and is by the river....

Nigel has emailed me, but it's a long way off of our target area. Nigel's place is right down on the South Coast....

These places are all in or close to Besancon, which is where "base camp" is going to be..

Might be worth considering for Eurotour 2005 though Steve?

The Pyranees, Andorra... ah, just think of it.

But it would have to be extended because you wouldn't get down there in a day, eh Greg :)

No you're right. Still, maybe a two day out and return wouldn't be such a bad thing, make the whole trip seven days. Or even take the ferry? Who knows, just sounds a great place to be although the distance problem would need to be solved.

Looking forward to the 04 bash though. Besancon here we come!

My mum lives down south of France, we could make a stop over there! :roll: erm... perhaps I should ask her first :lol: convoy of SV's turning up on her door step :shock: :lol:
There is lots of room there though :?
