Anyone staying in Hotels??

[williamp]

I have just booked my hotels (friday night and sunday night- what wimps, you cry!) and I was wondering if anyone else does this??

On friday I'm staing in a hotal at Sable-sur-Sarthe , and on sunday night at Vimoutiers.

What about you?

I've been trying for 3 years and cannot get closer than a 45min drive as anything half decent is block booked years ahead.

I used some websites: logis de france, formula 1, novotel etc etc.

When these were full (friday night only- sunbday was fine) I chose a town (eg sable sur sarthe) and did a search on Google,

eg: "Hotel sable sur sarthe"

When the list came up, I phoned and asked... Warning; most expect you to pay for two nights during le mans weekedn. Unfair, but what can you do???
